http://mainlinedine.com/rest/eclat-chocolate-west-chester.html Finally, a restaurant guide for Philadelphia's Main Line and suburbs Sat, 28 Apr 2012 05:09:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 http://mainlinedine.com/rest/eclat-chocolate-west-chester.html#comment-50263 Christopher Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:57:45 +0000 http://mainlinedine.com/?p=953#comment-50263 A disclaimer before we get started. I'm the owner of Eclat Chocolate. I was last week in Paris and finally tried the famous Angelina's hot chocolate. Very nice, everyone should try it, the secret is they have added some cream to get that extra thickness. Our Organic Hot Eclat (hot chocolate) is very similar when a little cream is added to the Hot Milk. The intensity can also be control by how much milk and cream is added. Please let us know how it works out. A disclaimer before we get started.

I went in there one day for a gift to take to a dinner party, and there was only one other customer in the shop. Both the owner and a young counter-person were on duty. The young counter-person disappeared into the back soon after I walked in, and I spent the next twenty minutes with an eager "I'm ready to be helped, whenever you can get to me!" look on my face, while I listened to the owner regale the other customer with stories of skiing trips he'd taken and with whom (people it seemed he expected to be well-known names to me and the other customer), and where. Blah blah blah, on and on. After he ran out of steam (which took quite some time), he finally got around to selling me a big box of chocolate (while also mispronouncing the name of the whisky he uses in the whisky truffles). Although I live very close and have a significant chocolate budget , I have not been back to Eclat.

Would you say it's close to say, Angelina's in thickness? I need a great hot chocolate. Would you say it’s close to say, Angelina’s in thickness?

Every month I make the trip from Wayne to stock up on the dark sea salt truffles. I, too, am not a huge fan of the Godivas -- much less Lindt (bleh) -- but Eclat's are out of this world. Several of their products are stocked at Fork etc. in Old City. Eclat is a real treasure. Our area is lucky to have it. I’m glad you finally got to go.
