We started the day at Ruggles Cafe and Bakery. Bestie and I were overwhelmed by the actual menu, but we enjoyed the samples that we received there. On the left is a white chocolate bread pudding. On the right, is their domino cake. The depressing part was when they told us that these items aren't on the regular menu.
Our tour guide tells us not to get distracted at our second stop and Bestie and I knew when we saw this place that we would get distracted because it seemed like a really cool shop. (We ended up going back for some shopping later.) They served us my favorite - Cadbury milk chocolate! They love me.
Stop 3 brought us to Chocolat du Monde which is a cute little boutique chocolate shop. We were given the choice of a tasting chocolate and then one treat from the case. I went with one of the darker tasting squares while Bestie went with the milk chocolate. I chose the Hawaiian sea salt caramel and Bestie chose the milk chocolate coconut cluster from the case.
The next stop was a little wine bar where we did a wine and chocolate pairing. I'm not a wine drinker, but I did try it to get the full experience. Bestie is not a fan of dark chocolate, and since that is all they were using to pair with it, she passed most of hers on to me. I left no chocolate behind in this tasting, but I did leave some wine.
Our last stop on the tour became a place that Bestie and I went back to after our lunch break. The Chocolate Bar is a place that I've tried to get multiple people to go to, but it just never worked into the plans. OMG! It will never be off the list of places again! Their Day and Night cake was amazing!
After all of this chocolate, Bestie and I were ready for some real food so we stopped at a cute little French place for lunch. Splurging on the salmon quiche was one of my best decisions of the day.
After lunch, we went back to The Chocolate Bar because we didn't get enough chocolate in our day. Since it was fruit, it was healthy though, right?
