    Not nearly as classy or yummy as the LES location, which has a more wine bar atmosphere. Smaller chocolate selection, less intimate, small back room with tables where people sit with MacBooks all day.

    The chaco latte is absolutely amazing! It's light, not too sweet, the chocolate is delicious and the chocolate isn't overpowered by the espresso. Ada is the best!

    Even though the goat cheese in my salad was great, I would not get it again bc it was more tasteless. But the Soy Hot Dark Chocolate was AWESOME! I would def always stop by for a serious craving!

    Not sure I understand the low score. This is a fantastic and relaxing coffee shop with the best hot chocolate around.

    Slice of the vegan chocolate bomb cake or something like that. Yummy but $7.

    Great outdoor space. Grab a bottle of wine (and some chocolate) and sit outside.

    If the bald owner is there expect the rules of enjoyment to be strict. He enforces the rules of a library. If you are enjoying yourself he talks over you then blasts music. Loved the previous owner.

    Try the Chocolate Marzipan Cake - Second time having this (had about 8 months ago.) Still very good- it's a "must try."

    The chocolate coffee drinks are delicious. You THINK you want the small, but really, just get the medium or large so you aren't so sad at the end of your cup.

    Dessert-wise you can't beat the Peanut Butter Explosion. It's vegan but you'd never know.

    Try the cocoa banana latte, it's awesome. Also, feel free to call out people who use empty tables for their jackets and bags when the place is full.

    Don't bother with the hot chocolate. I paid $5 and all I got was a double strength Swiss-miss.
