Something Sweet

The time of year is approaching when everyone is feeling just a little bit sweeter than usual. I think of Valentine's Day as a celebration of love, whether it's the romantic kind or the kind you share with friends and family. It's always a good idea to show the ones we love how dear they are to us. If you're looking for a sweet gesture for yourself or someone special, I happen to know of a magical little place called Nouveau- Atelier de Chocolat, an authentic Belgian chocolatier in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

I should begin with what is really important here. It's the thing lovers of sweet, delicious things will want to know about this place: How are the goodies? Let me tell you, friends, their chocolates are amazing.

This is obviously a business where quality and workmanship are valued. Between myself and the friends and family I've gone there with, we've sampled quite a few of the chocolates as well as the coffee and hot tea, and everything was tremendously tasty. If the treats alone were not a strong enough motivator to visit, allow me to also say that the atmosphere in this place is completely perfect.

The setup mimics the quality of the products. Gifts, candy making supplies, and a TON of wonderful sweets are artfully displayed. The cafe tables are cozy and the lighting paired with the decorations make for a fun setting.

Even before you enter the doors near an outdoor seating area, you can view employees through the windows in the kitchen preparing all kinds of goodies. On this particular evening, the owner, Christine Joseph, was lovingly creating a fresh batch of chocolates.

The entire area is quite charming, really. I am partial because it is very close to my home, as you may remember me mentioning when I participated in this nearby craft fair. It's a nice place for foot traffic, with plenty of lovely accents such as lamp posts, string lights, and benches.

If you're in the Tulsa area, it's definitely worth the trip! Nouveau is located at 205 S. Main Street in Broken Arrow. And even if you're not local, I've always been smitten with this place and I thought my far-away friends might enjoy a virtual tour. Have a sweet day!

Oh buddy, I love this shop and I LOVE the place you live in. The small town, cosy shops, lovely folks, beautiful nature everywhere you go. My heart is not in Singapore anymore. I just know someday I'm moving away to a place like this. I just hope I don't have to wait too long.
