Panos, the co-owner of this place, is an amazing human being. I went there the first time in March to buy some chocolate for my friend. My quick trip turned into an hour long conversation about chocolate. He was super generous about his chocolate tasting as he always asked me, "what else do you wanna try?" I would never expect 80% or 100% chocolate to be this smooth and sweet. His chocolate is unparalleled, and he cares so much about his customers. I like this place, not only because of the chocolate, but also because of our friendship. Gracie tutti, Panos. Can't wait to go back and have hours long conversation with you again.

My friend and I stopped by the store today and were blown away with both the quality of the chocolate and the friendliness and knowledge of Panos, the owner of the store. Panos explained the history of the store and it’s unique approach towards chocolate that results in some of the best chocolate either of us have ever had. Don’t come in here expecting a Hershey bar, but come with an open mind and the patience for the chocolate to dissolve in your mouth. I highly recommend the chocolate with ginger and having a conversation with Panos!

The beans themselves were amazing. but it seems they don"t know how to do the chocolate tempering(you would see the marble patterns on the chocolate surface). It causes the texture of the chocolate to be grainy. I feel like it's a bit pricey for the quality.

This chocolate place right in the heart of Palo Alto downtown is a green of a place for people who are very interested in trying out great dark chocolate. The owner of this shop goes by the name Panos and is a very knowledgeable chocolatier. He is very passionate about chocolate and the art of making them. He was kind enough and patient enough to give us samples of the offerings of various flavors and explain how to savor them. We bought the dark chocolate infused with Liberico coffee, Loucouras coffee bean truffle and the chocolate with alcohol infused grape s. The chocolate that we purchased was 70% dark chocolate. We also tasted the 100% dark chocolate as well. It was very smooth and had a very distinct chocolate flavor. The owner mentioned that the 100% one is not bitter because he has removed the ingredient that cause the bitterness while manufacturing the chocolate, so that we get the actual taste of the chocolate itself and not it’s overwhelming bitterness. The various chocolate bars come at a cost of 28.50 USD(slightly pricey, but definitely worth the cost).
