| - For me, going to The Chocolaterian Café is a treat on pretty much every level - it peaks all of my senses. It's like being transported to a different time and place. I love it! I love the décor, the open area where you can watch the chocolaty magic happen, the wonderful customer service, the music, the cavernous booths, the array of delicious choices - I love it all!!! I'll break it down a bit so I can give you some useful, yummy specifics.
My first visit involved the Parisian hot chocolate and it's like nothing I've ever experienced. I find it difficult to describe, but I can promise you that it's worth it. It comes in this slender, white mug full of melty goodness that's reminiscent of chocolate ganache, but just a bit darker. A little goes a long way and the spoon........um, you guys, it's cutest spoon on the planet - totally adding to the charm factor.
My second visit involved tea and that was lovely and flavorful - very tea-like. But my third visit, OMG! I had the chocolate mousse and it was incredible - perfect, in fact! It's light as air and not overly sweet with these little crisp chocolate balls sprinkled on top. And at the bottom.........a dark, rich layer of ganache to finish it off. Perfection! I will be having it again. You can be sure of that.
I still want to try their chocolate chip cookie, their version of a giant Oreo and the quiche, but there's time. I'll get back to you on those. Oh AND they carry locally made Christine's caramels & toffee! Major bonus!!! Just sayin'.
Thank you, Chocolaterian!!!!
