  • Chocolatiers and Candy Shops

    French Broad Chocolate Lounge is the downtown chocolate shop on Pack Square, making its own bonbons and bars and pouring sipping chocolate in the lounge. Its bonbons take their flavors from Asheville's farmers and producers. Order a sipping chocolate and a few bonbons.

  • Hot Chocolate

    WNC Magazine describes owner Jael Rattigan stirring milk, cream and house-made chocolate ganache smooth, finished with vanilla and cinnamon, at this downtown Pack Square lounge. Mountain Xpress lists three ways the shop pours it: hot chocolate steamed with organic milk, a thicker liquid truffle made with half and half, and a chocolate sip of dark chocolate steamed with just enough water to turn liquid. Order the liquid truffle for the thickest version, or the hot chocolate for the lighter one.
