Newly married and self confessed chocoholic Marc Lieberman got caught with his hand in the baking drawer once too often. Admonished for his unfettered consumption of bulk chocolate chips, he was challenged by his new bride to channel his chocolate lust into something more productive.
The quest began to learn more about good chocolate. His travels and research took him to San Francisco, Montreal, New York and Tokyo. A painstaking assessment of chocolate from some of the world’s best chocolatiers culminated in a vision for a retail store that showcases dark chocolate extensively in chocolate bar or tablet form.
Not content with taking the simple approach to retailing his new product, Marc developed a line of 30+ chocolate bars, most of which fuse the taste and flavor profiles of ganache filled bonbons, but in chocolate bar form. Combined with a full espresso bar and fondue bar, Mink A Chocolate Café was born in time for Easter 2007.
