And I know chocolate!!! I first became addicted to Alma while frequenting the Portland Farmers Market and was delighted to discover that their store location is walking distance from my house. The lavender infused caramel enrobed in dark chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt is my favorite treat ever! The store is very small and interesting with gold gilded dark chocolate religious icons (no focus on one in particular), solid chocolate bars from around the world and that case full of delicious and unique truffles (as well as a variety of chocolate covered brittle-the ginger and dark chocolate is amazing). The women who work there have always been absolutely wonderful and sweet to me-even throwing in little treats and an occasional truffle sample once in a while! I love this place! I try to go there every Saturday and I love giving their truffles as gifts (although I always have to pick up something for myself too :) )
Pros: Delicious treats, fun location, wonderful customer service
