Chocolate Emporium - Respite for a Weary Soul

As a kid I craved for chocolates simply because they were denied to me.
In college I enjoyed a chocolate bar with raisins and nuts as a source of energy.
Today as a working professional I relish it as a stress buster.

And here I was in a huge showroom called Chocolate Emporium in the middle of the Universal Studios in Orlando last month.

I felt a great sense of relief tasting the dark chocolate flavors at this place.

The chocolates were arranged in an attractive manner, and I was spoilt for choices.

The tall chimneys and the distinct looks of the Chocolate Emporium caught my attention from far away across the pond.

On moving closer I noticed that they had a staircase with railings and also a nice ramp to facilitate wheelchair bound people.

They also had done a lot of landscaping and decorations on the exterior.

The views looking both towards and away from the storefront looked imposing.

The lampposts near the staircase were captivating, while the gears on top of the entrance caught attention of the mechanical engineer in me.

The steampunk aesthetic is breathtaking, and I absolutely loved it.

The entire building sticks to the theme which was a sight to behold.

If you love chocolates, you will enjoy every minute while being here.

The Chocolate Emporium was a solace to the heart and a relief to a weary soul :blush:

“…I was spoilt for choices…”

From the photos, your above statement is very clear… :grinning: .

Unfortunately, right from my childhood, I’m not a fan of chocolates, though I taste it whenever it’s available.

The photos make anyone crazy for chocolates.

The Chocolate Emporium looks really great…

Is that factory setup is functional or just only for show?

“…You can bring your own food and drinks…”

Will they allow? Just my doubt…

The shot of the “Emporium accross the pond” is really an excellent one.

Thanks for sharing with us…

They allow food in the Studio campus that can be consumed int the common area, though I am not sure if that is allowed inside the chocolate factory.
