soma, toronto

road trip toronto included a visit to SOMA chocolatemaker.  i tell you, this is one sexy shop!
check it out

this would be a cool tattoo.
here is a look around the place

 duh

pretty heart shaped meringues

sacks of cacao beans.  they use mostly organic fair trade
its a micro-chocolate factory and you can view the workings thru glass

voted "best chocolate "  in Toronto Life and NOW magazine

ooops, i had an intoxicating drinking chocolate called mayan blend  containing ginger, madagascar vanilla, orange peel, chili and a blend of soma spices

cacao pods

see you on the dark side of the mug

hehe

    I want that same chocolate with ginger drink!! But - it's ANGELINA'S that's been voted the world's best hot chocolate. Damn - I'm just going to have to come over there and compare for myself!!! That place would've been illegal during prohibition...It's better than alcohol!

    Great tour of the Choc factory, We have one here too and the product is very good, but the Chocolate is Sooo very expensive I have only been there once.
    Your hot chocolate sounds just wonderful.
