It’s unanimous: after many tedious hours of Zlioshop judging, we have chosen a Chocoshop Contest winner. Trust us when we say it wasn’t easy, but we’d be lying if we said that a section dedicated entirely to chocolate cheescake didn’t affect our decision… Drumroll please:

Chocolat A La Mode: The Best Chocolate Place in the World

What We Like:

The Chocolate: Ok, this one’s obvious, but you’d be suprised how many Zlioshops had difficulty following the rules and we wanted to see 100% chocolate. Between chocolate books, chocolate fountains, and chocolate colored clothing, Chocolat A La Mode managed to keep a little variety while sticking to the subject.

The Colors: How long have people been saying “brown is the new black?” Chocolat A La Mode sticks to a yummy palate but uses a pink background to keep things from getting too dark.

The Categories: The chocolate books and movies section features chocolate inspired products, like the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the soundtrack to the movie Chocolat. Plus there’s a list of “goodies” which include more unusual items like a chocolate Elvis Presley bust.

We Would Have Liked:

Even though we’re drooling at the sight of that chocolate cake, a personalized header and some delicious images would have been nice.

Congratulations to Chocolat A La Mode, winner of the Zlio Easter Chocoshop Contest!
