Protips for finding the best chocolate in any area:

- Look for "chocolate" shops, NOT "chocolates" shops! The latter tends to be confections / pastries, the former, bars

- Look for places with 90%+ bars (ideally a 100%). You might not like something that dark, but, it means that the source beans are good enough to stand on their own

- Slightly avoid places that put flavored bars (adding anything other than the core ingredients) front-and-center. They definitely can have amazing chocolate, and usually do have amazing flavors, but it does mean that they're not ALL about the cacao. (Don't even bother with "pressed" flavors; if it's not mixed in, it's gonna be mediocre).

- Look for bars that don't use soy lecithin.
