Bissinger's - "That Place You Go To Have Chocolate That Was Meant For Kings And Oligarchs But Was Brought Down To Commoners Like Us".

I mean it when I say this: Bissinger's has the best quality chocolate in town.

Every Father's Day I get a box of dark chocolate macadamia nut cluster's for my dad, because not all of us can fly to Hawaii or feel safe shipping food contents thousands of miles to your location. I also tend to frequent there with my friends on Friday or Saturday for a late night coffee and chocolate covered blueberries; these guys closes at midnight and have never been pushy about kicking you out.

You don't have to get just what I say is good. They have whole boxes of assorted chocolates, they have teas, they also have alcoholic coffee drinks which are just as amazing as the regular coffee. To be honest though, if you're getting drunk at a late night chocolate place before going home or clubbing about, I have the opinion that you are rich and classy or just odd and obnoxious in such a state at this darker, chill place.

It's also in a great location near other bars, restaurants, and late night places. Located in Central West End, outdoor seating is provided and is great on weekends with good weather. Nearby are Coffee Cartel (24/7 coffee, ice cream, and food cafe), El Burro Loco, Subzero, Drunken Fish, and a Mission Taco opened up recently.

If you have people who like chocolate and are visiting St. Louis, this is a great gift for them to drool over and feel sophisticated (the boxers are fairly fancy and can withstand the rough and tumble of the airline cargo bay for the trip home).
