"I stopped by Porch Gallery to pick up more Beato Chocolates. I love what they have done with this concept and I'm pretty sure Beato would have approved. The first thing is the chocolate is hand crafted and absolutely delicious. The second thing is the creative thinking. The chocolate bar I bought today is 72% dark chocolate with finely ground Ojai Pixe Dust. Are you kidding me?!! Perfect. I had a lovely conversation with Lisa Casoni. She is clearly an "artist's artist" and I went away feeling very happy I stopped by."

Highly recommended, and well worth the trip. The Porch Gallery is located just off of the main drag in Downtown Ojai. Right next to the Ojai Farmer's Market. Many great artists to view."
