Winds in the east, mist coming in, Like somethin\u2019 is brewin\u2019 and \u2018bout to begin.<\/i><\/b> ( Mary Poppins – Bert the Chimney Sweep ) <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sitting on a pedestrian street in the shadows of the <\/span>Marktkirche<\/span> cathedral is a pint sized shop Mary Poppins and Willy Wonka would likely tip their hat, a chocolate emporium called, Xocoatl-Feine Schokoladen<\/span>. \u00a0Its presence doesn\u2019t shout \u201clook at me\u201d, as words aren\u2019t necessary; the intoxicating aroma of chocolate and berries lure the unsuspecting passerby.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step inside and you are reminded good things do come in small packages. \u00a0Sage green walls, a glistening display case with a fanciful assortment of bite sized chocolate and two walls lined with local and imported chocolate bars stand in unison like dutiful soldiers ready to battle (and save) your cravings. \u00a0If quality chocolate is what your heart and taste-buds desire, rest assured both will be rewarded.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Upon first encounter, Katrin Flietner feels like a familiar hug. Behind the owner’s tortoise rimmed glasses are sparkling blue eyes accompanied by an infectious smile. Her demeanor mimics the bonbons she peddles; sweet, comforting, delightful and practically perfect in every way.<\/em>\u00a0 Ms. Flietner is a talented match maker, too! \u00a0Like the chocolates she carefully selects, she understands customers are unique and diverse. \u00a0She finds joy in pairing individual tastes with the perfect confectionery. \u00a0Tell her your sweet tooth desires, and you will not leave wanting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Flietner is clear that just as important as the quality of chocolate being purchased, is the environment in which it is consumed. \u00a0Fine chocolate is meant to be nibbled, relished and savored in unhurried moments. Lucky for patrons of the shop, o<\/span>nly 25 steps away you\u2019ll hear the faint sound of water trickling from the 18th century fountain, <\/span>B\u00e4ckerbrunnen<\/a>. \u00a0The area is<\/span> quiet and conducive to relishing indulgence one bite at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker<\/em>. Willy Wonka would be pleased to know inside is an elixir made with fresh Bavarian cream and Swiss chocolate, but I\u2019d say the true elixir is the heartbeat inside Xocoatl-Feine Schokoladen, Ms. Flietner. \u00a0It\u2019s magical and inspiring to be in the realm of a woman pursuing her dream. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the fictional characters of Mary Poppins and Willy Wonka, Katrin Flietner and her chocolate shop are classic and endearing. \u00a0And lucky for anyone who steps through this chocolate portal, they’re real, and waiting to enchant….<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Willy Wonka:<\/b> Remember Charlie, don’t forget the tale of the man who got everything he wanted.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Charlie:<\/b> What happened?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Willy Wonka:<\/b> He lived happily ever after.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
