Cityesearch Editorial Review. Perched near the River Oaks theatre, this tiny storefront turns out colorfully designed confections made from Venezuelan chocolate, which is widely considered to be the best in the world. Each treat is done up in bright, festive designs that draw your attention almost as much as the creative flavors. Bite into a margarita chocolate and taste tequila, lime and a dash of salt. Choose between traditional flavors such as marzipan and cinnamon or the more exotic chipotle chocolate or vodka citron chocolate. The window-filled boutique makes the experience of shopping feel personal, as does the staff, which encourages customers to sample different flavors before making an admittedly pricey purchase. Further customize your order by choosing from a changing selection of artist-designed boxes.
