I stopped by the Vosges shop in Soho recently, and they are really just a solid company.
So the matcha green tea bar with spirulina was not the biggest hit. I mean, it was ok. But Roh-Kaolade did it better. Still, it was interesting.
The marzipan bar was really excellent. The marzipan was fresher and gooey-er than the Rittersport version. The only downside was that it had a stronger taste, so that -- despite have a higher chocolate-to-marzipan quantity ratio than the Rittersport -- it did not have a substantially higher chocolate-to-marzipan taste ratio.
It should also be noted that Vosges makes excellent hot chocolate. It is not thick like City Bakery's. It is for drinking. It is a drink. That is ok. It is delicious. It tastes like chocolate.
Bottom Line: Vosges is great, because they do simple things really well but also have really wacky ideas that are usually worth a try.
