A chocoholic reader tipped us on the impending closing of Chuao Chocolatier's Westfield University Towne Center store, and a Chuao rep confirmed that the cafe will shutter this Sunday, June 23; the area around their current spot has been re-zoned into a non-food area and the mall was unable to find Chuao another location. UTC's Bottega Italiano will carry Chuao products, and the chocolatier's cafes in Del Mar Highlands and the Encinitas Lumberyard will remain open. If you're worried about where you'll get your chocolate fix, stock up now: this Friday through Sunday, all purchases at the UTC store are 33% off. [EaterWire]
