Mystic River Chocolate Cafe
The Mystic River Chocolate Cafe creates a wide variety of chocolates in their little shop on Water Street.
The chocolate itself is crafted from rare cacao beans sourced from around the world - making it truly “bean to bar”. Co-owner Bill Gash starts with crunchy beans that are transformed into remarkable chocolate creations.
Not only is the chocolate dreamy, but the artwork and graphic design on all store branding, chocolate wrappers and packaging are designed by co-owner Casey Gash … and it’s gorgeous.
