Butlers Chocolate Cafe

It was am experience. The chocolates themselves were amazing and I'd try them all if they weren't so expensive (that is what you'd expect from a store like this so not marking down for that) the waffles were okay. They seemed to be from frozen and the chocolate sauce tasted like something my father used to make with coco and milk. The hot chocolate weren't as decadent as I expected from a place like this.
