Mamaroneck NY has been growing in leaps and bounds when it comes to boutiques, fine dining and specialty shops. Among some of the newcomers to the area is Chocolations – located on East Boston Post Rd in Mamaroneck. In fact they just had their first birthday this week!
Congratulations Chocolations and Maria Valente for having a successful first year! I had heard the “buzz” about Chocolations for months - filled with specialty chocolates – it is Westchester’s own chocolate factory. I admit to being more than a tad worried about venturing into such an establishment. We all have our weaknesses. For some its alcohol – for me its chocolate. So it seemed inconceivable that I would manage to leave without gaining at least 10 lbs!
Well – it was well worth the trip. The chocolate creations were very special – almost too special to consume…. which kept my chocolate tooth in check. I was really quite amazed at what I would call chocolate “art” and chocolate “construction”. I did indulge in one espresso truffle which was absolutely marvelous.
Taking photos of chocolate is something of a challenge, but some of these turned out quite well. The photo of the football complete with the “Wilson” logo is really quite special. I came away with the feeling that in the right hands, chocolate could be molded in to just about anything.
While I was there – I happened to walk in a their Friday cupcake decorating and face painting session. The kids were obviously having a wonderful time and it truly is a great activity for kids of all ages to start the weekend off right after school.
The shop itself is open and inviting and you can see the chocolate being made – which is a wonderful treat. You can sit and relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or ice cream as well as baked goos – and of course chocolate.
