Signage is up at 3211 O St. announcing the imminent arrival of a new chocolate shop: Arcay Chocolates. The shop started out of Union Market. This is its story, according to its website:
Arcay Chocolates is a family-owned chocolate business in Washington D.C. We started making chocolates in our native country Venezuela in a small corner of our home’s kitchen in 2006. Our master chocolatier, Anabella Arcay, quickly grew the business and gained international notoriety after receiving 42 medals at the International Chocolate Awards. In 2017, we uprooted our company to the United States with the dream of sharing our mouthwatering creations with the rest of the world. As Hispanic entrepreneurs, it’s our pride and joy to represent Venezuela through our confections.
No word on when exactly they’ll open. The location was previously home to the cat cafe Crumbs and Whiskers, which was always a treat to pass for my daughter on the way to nursery school. She’ll probably like this spot too.
