DO adults need a candy store of their own? You bet - if it's called Chocolate Bar. Who's to argue with the philosophy of owners when it's ""Eat more chocolate""? All one customer could say was, ""Wow"" - numerous times - as she peered at the cases holding silk-screened bonbons, a counter full of scones, brownies and individual fallen chocolate cakes, and a display of chocolate-wrapped macadamias. The staff is suitably patient and enthusiastic. ""We understand,"" said one as we deliberated over the choices, while another offered detailed descriptions so rapid-fire, we can only guess he's fueled by a diet of Illy Caffe and candy bars. Perch on one of the stools up front or at the tables in back to sip a chilly frappe of liquid chocolate and ice cubes - the chocolate milk of your grown-up dreams, barely sweet and dusky. Willy Wonka, you've finally come of age.
Pros: everything!
