The new Cocoa + Co. was born of owner Kim Hack’s obsession with chocolate. Hack, a longtime food industry professional, feels that cacao beans—like grapes—have a distinct terroir, a sense of place. At her new Old Town store, you’ll find freshly baked creations from celebrity chefs Malika Ameen and Gale Gand; the work of 35 artisanal chocolatiers from around the globe (including the astounding Recchiuti Confections from San Francisco and London’s Artisan du Chocolat); coffee, tea and decadent drinking chocolates and a plethora of packaged goods to tempt the palate—and the sweet tooth.
