The second location of Jupiter House opened for business last week.
The store, at the southwest corner of University Drive and Carroll Boulevard, is being called Europa after one of Jupiter's 49 named moons.
The 1,905-square-foot store has an "Alice in Wonderland in Cuba feel," with handmade chocolate candies and Jupiter House coffee, said Joey Hawkins, who co-owns the shop with his wife, Amy.
Along with the same Cuvee coffee found at Jupiter House, Europa will serve specialty goodies including chocolate-covered strawberries, caramel apples and chocolate-covered espresso beans, he said.
