Parking: It looks like there is a paved parking lot and it looks like it's free.  I guess I will have to check it out in person. ;)

Hours of Operation: M-F 10am-5pm & Saturday 10am-2pm

Why you should go: So far I've only tried the Dark Chocolate Truffle Mochi and a couple of the assorted chocolates and they are DELICIOUS!  I got this as a gift from a family member, so these are the only things I was able to try...so far.  According to their January 2014 pricelist, it costs $7.25 for the 5-piece box I received.  The mochi is made fresh daily and you have to eat it within 3 days of purchase.  The outer mochi layer is slightly sweet and chewy.  The inner layer is a combination of chocolate ganache and a piece of chocolate. The ganache is smooth and silky and pairs perfectly with the chocolate piece.  It's not sickeningly sweet and is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee or tea.  I can't wait to try the rest of their sweets.  To be continued...

Tips: They tend to run out quickly and suggest to call to place your order.  According to their "Mochi Care Instructions" it should be eaten within 2-3 days or immediately placed in a freezer ziploc and frozen.  When freezing, Do not microwave to thaw!  Thaw by letting it reach room temperature.
