MMMmmm. This small chocolate factory has a retail counter and espresso bar. It is always busy! The chocolate is soooo good. The owner is often seen helping behind the counter when it is busy or mingling with customers. There is a secret cupboard that is filled with "seconds". The kids love checking that! It is a destination stop, but grab a mocha, a fresh baked chocolate croissant, some truffles or macaroons and take a walk along the harbourside to view the seals and eagles.

Thomas Haas is a genius! The pastries and chocolates at his shop are divine and the place is very popular. I had a croissant, Danish and sandwich along with a hot chocolate and everything was delicious. They make their chocolates themselves – truffles, infusions, bars, caramels in all shapes and sizes. At Christmas there was even a modern Christmas tree/pyramid made out of chocolate.

You can often see Thomas Haas passing out samples of pastries to appease the line up that forms on Saturday. He is super nice and friendly. A friend of mine even apprenticed under him.

Only downside is that this cafe isn't open late at night and they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. But the place is so great, it’s worth juggling your schedule just to go there.
