“I’m making it a dynamic place,” said owner Diane Holland. “It took me over a year to find a location that would work with the different elements of the business.”
Indeed, Holland needed a space that accommodated the retail end, on-site events, and production, as she will be making all the chocolates on the premises. Currently remodeling the short-lived Loco Latte at 222 Purchase Street, the chocolatier envisions the space will be crisp and clean, contemporary and vibrant, blue and white.
What’s in the shop’s name? Holland laughed because it wasn’t exactly chosen by design. “My last name has nothing to do with it and blue isn’t even my favorite color, but it goes well with chocolate and makes for beautiful packaging,” she said.
She has worked with the best of chocolatiers, including internationally renowned master Jean-Pierre Wybauw. Five years ago, she started working as an executive pastry chef at Norwalk’s Chocopologie, among other bakeries and restaurants, but her passion is chocolate.
“Chocolate is what I love and what I’m good at. What sets me apart is that I use only amazing, high-quality chocolate from France and Belgium,” she explained. “I make unique mixes in small batches to create exciting chocolates that are not just beautiful, but delicious.”
Look for a soft opening in August and a grand opening Labor Day Weekend.
