Chicago equivalent to CK SweetArt?

I've gotten much of my chocolate for the last several years from Country Kitchen SweetArt. Much of the rest was ordered from Chocosphere- not only are the prices higher on the chocolate I love the best, shipping from more than 1/2 way across the country is pretty crazy. As a result I've ordered less and less from Choco and have made the drive to Fort Wayne. While there I do a little shopping for gadgetry and pick up the 'incidentals'- everything else I need for the chocolate I'm buying. Dusts, cocoa butter, packaging, etc.

It took some experimenting to find chocolate I actually liked- they carry some Callebaut but I'm not crazy about it. Most of what they had was Peter's. A little research, a little tinkering, voila. Chocolate love. :wub: Last year I bought all of my supplies @ CK. No such luck this year. When I didn't see what I was looking for on their website I called and was informed that they did indeed stop carrying every one of the chocolates I was looking for.

Does anyone know of a similar store somewhere in the boundary of Chicago, Detroit, Indy, and Toledo? I'm typing this in Elkhart, IN. Or something similar that isn't on the west coast, making shipping a terribly expensive nightmare?

TIA. :smile:
