Nutty Steph’s chocolate shop is growing into a charmed place of public gathering, revealing to me in waves its own cosmic existence.  I have populated the walls with my favorite paintings and installed an old favorite: 1980′s Ms. Pac Man “cocktail style” arcade machine.  She is closely guarded by our beloved (-by many children, and feared by some-) inflatable giraffe.

Pictured above,the door to the left of the chocolate case currently serves as our entrance.  It connects to a hallway, which connects to the lobby, which leads to the front entrance of this Camp Meade complex.  We are so tucked away that locals often say they have never known we were in the building.  It is nice, in a way.  We are a well kept secret.  But alas, it is Spring, I am Jaquelyn, and change is inevitable:

 

Coming next month, we will have a new main entrance, directly off the side of the building. This new Nutty Steph’s exposure will have outdoor seating, directly facing the North side of the property, and (view from the picture above) lead into the shop at a bright and spacious angle.  Look out for the new entrance being built as you head South on Route 2 through Middlesex.
