| - I went here for a date night with someone who loves hot chocolate, so we added this spot to our places to hit up.
I appreciated that it was open later than other cafe-esque places, so we were able to settle in after a nice dinner elsewhere. We were seated pretty quickly near the back, where I have to say it was pretty cozy. The place was pretty full, so we had high expectations. At the time, they had their winter drink specials so I got the matcha white hot chocolate and he got the American style hot chocolate.
When our drinks came, I of course had to take a million instagrammable (and yelp-able) photos. But when we took the first sip, neither of our drinks were particularly hot and I don't think they could have cooled down that much in the photo-taking process. The matcha flavor was definitely there but no bitter aftertaste due to the sweet white hot chocolate (only get this if you really have a sweet tooth). Apparently the American style hot chocolate was nothing to rave about, and did not taste enough like milk chocolate. I guess if you like dark chocolate it'd be better for you? But then again, that's to be expected at a specialty chocolate place.
Overall, I liked my experience here because of the company and cozy vibes. I wouldn't particularly come back for the drinks or food, but that's also because I'm not a huge chocolate person. I'll probably stick to my coffee.
If you like chocolate and have the money to spend, this place would be worth checking out once! They do varieties of desserts, drinks, chocolate crepes and pizzas, etc. Less intimidating desserts than Demetres, which really does the chocolate cakes, milkshakes, ice creams, etc.
