I have never gotten something from here that I didn't LOVE!!!! My mom always brings something home from here for lunch and we always rave about it. Something as simple as a side salad is so fresh, hand made and tailored to be perfect. A cupcake isn't just a cupcake here- it's German chocolate or its hand made decorated chocolate peices, or its filled with fresh fruit... basically, anything simple at any other restaurant is ART at Cafe Chocolade.
There are always 2 or 3 options for lunch, and I usually go on the website to check out what he is having! The owner is a world renowned chef and I cannot stress enough-EVERYTHING is carefully crafted and home made. It's not a fast food place and if the prices (still average) deter you, please understand how much work is put into something simple as his freshly daily baked bread. He is an artist. Side note- above the store is Anika's Spa. I always ask for gift cards for my birthday and have gotten massages there. Anika is his wife, and she is also a fabulous masseuse, manicurist, and more. I could rave for hours about these two places- you MUST check them out!!!
