>Atlanta: Maison Robert- and he works in the middle of the store

Posted on December 2, 2010 by EMCjoe No comments

Maison Robert Chocolates in Atlanta is fun. It is not in a heavy residential area.  It is not in a heavy traffic commercial area.  I’m not sure you’d find it unless you were looking for it, but it is definitely worth looking for and many in Atlanta swear by Maison Robert.

 It is in the French Patisserie style, yet set in a new strip center in Atlanta. They moved here a few years back after a long run down the street in a maison.  This is a family business and Papa Robert still comes to work almost everyday.  I’m told they actually have to make him go home at night or maybe he’d spend the night creating.

We had a chocolate croissant when we got there that was quite tasty.

Chocolatier Robert was at his counter makingchocolates when I walked into the shop/ kitchen.  He was delightful and explained his art to meas I sampled many of his creations. There is nothing like talking to a chocolate creator.  Oh the stories!

 I love the simple white, dark and milkchocolate truffles.  They are delicateand fresh.  I also found an old chocolatefavorite that previously I had only seen at Andre’s of St. Louis- the chocolatemeringue ball.- always love to find this delicacy, no matter who makes it.
