Gourmet chocolate - Pasadena

I need to spend $50-ish on chocolates for a client and the presentation has to be elegant. Whole Foods, Bristol Farms and Gelson's didn't have anything appropriate so today I plan to head to Mignon Chocolates in Old Town which I'm not familiar with. Is this my best bet in Pasadena? Thanks!

    The Cheese Store of Pasadena might also be worth a look.

        I bought someone a Christmas gift from Amara, a box of truffles. It was disappointing. The biggest gift offering they had was a box of 20 truffles. The presentation want anything special and the gift recipient wasn't very impressed with the chocolate.

        I didn't try to chocolate truffles myself and had only gotten the gift because it was a specific request from the recipient.

        Maybe they have more or better options now than when I went in December.

        I did order a really delicious chocolate drink from Amara while I was there.
