Dessert Cafes and Specialty Dessert shops have become quite popular around the United States. I can see the novelty and The Chocolate is not an exception.

Order:


Caramel Brownie: Craig ordered the Caramel Brownie and if described in a word, I would say: Rich. Compared to most brownies it was very dense and sweet. I would expect a caramel brownie to be very sweet, however dense? I'm not sure if I'm a fan of dense brownies. If that's something that tickles your fancy, however, you may have found your brownie place.

Berry Trifle: I got the Berry Trifle and it was just delightful. The berries were fresh which is a pretty rare thing during the winter months and the Bavarian cream was actually quite light. The yellow cake they used was a perfect compliment to the dessert. It added a needed weight that if the cake wasn't a little on the heavy side, the dessert may have just floated away.

The Chocolate is indeed a delightful little place run out of an old house that's been gussied up to look charmingly vintage. There are couches to sit on which gives it a very casual ambiance. Upstairs there is an internet cafe for those that want to bring their computers to get some work done. Because of it's casual feel,  It allows for patrons to get as comfortable as they want which means that maybe louder behavior is tolerated there. That may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what kind of person you are. Craig and I weren't too impressed by it because even when we went upstairs we could still hear the group down in the front room. They also provide complimentary water with lemon on each floor.

It truly is a charming place to be experienced, although they do provide take out orders for those that want to enjoy their sweets at home. If you're looking for a fun dessert cafe, The Chocolate is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a sugar rush.
