The Chocolate Cafe
The Chocolate Cafe is not your typical, sandwich-serving, soup-ladling establishment. This cafe is unique for importing chocolate from across the globe and making its own chocolate in-house. These include bars, barks, and truffles, as well as pastries.
Its chocolatey treats are not the only source of its fame. The Chocolate Cafe claims the best hot chocolate and chocolate milkshakes made from melted down 70% Colombian chocolate. Its drink selection also includes tea and coffee made with world-renowned Illy espresso.
The Chocolate Cafe is a must for all chocolate lovers. It is open seven days a week from 10a until 5p. In the spring and summer, the cafe has a "milkshake-of-the-week", and year-round, there is a milkshake happy hour from 3p until close.
Specialty Drinks
Chocolate Milkshake
Mayan Spice Hot Chocolate
