Schakolad Chocolate Factory

I love that a Robeks opened up down the street. I go there two or three times a week during the summer.

This is now located in the Polaris «Lifestyle» section.
$ 5.00 for 6 bite size chocolates (not even 1 inch square). Chocolates go for $ 28.00 a pound… not including truffles.
Upon closer inspection in the daylight — the chocolate has serious bloom — it’s been sitting in the store obviously for a while. Two of the chocolates were caramels — totally unremarkable.
I could have spent $ 5.00 for about 6 rolls of «Rolo’s» with Hershey’s Mockolate at CVS or Walgreen’s and would have had greater satisfaction and, no doubt, fresher candy.
Save your money — go to Anthony Thomas, Pure Imagination, John Eagle, or Colonial Candy.

Robeks vs. Smoothie King: It’s no contest, Robeks is the champ. Robeks has better drinks, better sizing (they offer a 12 oz. size) and better prices.
For $ 3.25, you can get a junior size smoothie of your choice with a supplement. Killer! For a quick, healthy snack (how I prefer smoothies), it’s perfect. And in case a smoothie doesn’t do it for you, Robeks sells cookies and muffins too.
This location on Tremont is a little inconvenient unless you live nearby. There just isn’t much reason to drive through this neighborhood. The big, blue Macy’s might entice some folks. But for now, if I head this way, it’s for Robeks.

Robek’s makes a mean smoothie. The store has lots to choose from so I try never to drink the same one twice. Delicious Zen Berry, Pomegranate and Banana, there is no end to the combinations one can make.
Think of Robek’s as the Starbucks of smoothies. The people here are always very nice, and have actual good suggestions for drinks. I like how Robek’s is all natural but has the option for protein or wheat grass shots. The extra kick in an energy shot keeps me going all day long.
An extra large smoothie can function as a meal. Its a little pricey, but no more than you would spend on a value meal. If liquid lunch is not enough to satisfy you Robek’s also has muffins and and Kashi bars to hold you til dinner.
The lines are always long here, but try a smoothie and you will easily know why.
