I woke this morning with two feelings. One being hung over and the other feeling so much love for 416 Snack Bar. I was actually surprised to read other people's reviews of this joint but I found it to be just the opposite of what most people said

With Christmas fast approaching, I have a sneaking suspicion i will be visiting this store more often. Upon entering you are overwhelmed with chocolate options. (The perfect stocking stuffers!) They have options of truffles or brittle or chocolate…More »
