Day 2
A photo of something you ate today.
There is this Bakery that I am absolutely in love with. They have the most amazing Cannolis that I have ever had. (Read: The only Cannoli I have ever had.) And if you get there at the right time, their Hot Chocolate is to DIE for!
I am, of course, speaking of THE CHOCOLATE!
The cafe is located in an old house that has been remodeled. There are couches and chairs and tables all through all the rooms in the house, and there is even a working sink in one of the dining areas. (I’m assuming that that particular room used to also have the wash room in it.)
Their cupcakes are amazing! Their sugar cookies are heaven.
…
And their chocolate cake is something I don’t share easily.
I always love to go to The Chocolate. I’m pretty sure any excuse will do.
So, today I went to the Chocolate with my friends Aimee and Heather. We got there late, so the pickings were slim. (*Sniff* No Cannoli!) But, they did have a really good looking brownie…
Warning: Objects in Picture are slightly more disappointing than they appear.
And I couldn’t say no to a Giant Hot Chocolate…
Still the best ever, when you get it hot.
I think the universe knew that I would be doing a blog post about my visit to The Chocolate, because the stars aligned, and I had the worst experience there I have ever had. It took forever for them to fill our orders. And we didn’t order anything that needed to be specially cooked. (Did I mention they make a mean Cazookie?)
When we received our orders all of our Hot Chocolate was, at best, TEPID.
Not warm.
Not hot.
TEPID!
Aimee’s Hot Chocolate was so cold that her whipped cream formed a clump in the middle of her cup.
My scrumptious brownie was slightly dry and hard. Not what I look for in a brownie.
I am actually a little wary of going back to my beloved cafe of wonders. I’m afraid I’ll have a horrible experience, and I’ll hold it against my favourite little Bake Shop.
I’m going to assume that the bad experience was due to the fact that we arrived shortly before closing, and they were obviously under-staffed.
I highly recommend you try The Chocolate for yourself.
But, please!
Try the Cannoli!
