A Chocolate Cafe for my Valentine!
 
A gift idea for honey? For students who are on a FIXED budget, a diamond ring is far cry! I hardly saved enough this time.

Roses and chocolates are never a passe, but Chocolate Cafes are making news all the way from LA to Tokyo. Truly, an aphrodisiac treat is an all time HIT. Do you agree??

So, why not whisk that one love to the Chocolate cafe in the corner!

We're lucky that NYC has its share of Chocolate cafes too! Yum!yum! Check out this list of THREE that I sorted out yesterday. This might help you too. But am I late?? I hope not! There's still some more time to go. Yay!

1. Jaques Torres: We went to the one at Hudson Street and believe me, I wanted to gift her the entire factory!

2. Divalicious Chocolate: It's on Broome Street, somewhere between Mott & Elizabeth Street. They brag about the CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN! Maybe we'll take a dip next year!

3. Hershey's Times Square: Lick those Pea-nut Butter Cups around 48th and Broadway!

Chicago has had a few pop up as well and I'm dying to try one. The Chocolate Cafe on West Randolph looks yummy every time I drive by...Of course there is the Hershey store on Michigan (strategically placed across the street from the Ghiradelli Cafe). Anyone know any others?

:) yummzz! I just found out that Moonstruck has 8 of them. 3 of them are in Portland- Oregon Downtown, one in San Francisco- California Marina District, one in Champaign- Illinois Across Campus, next, Chicago- Illinois Downtown,somewhere along the Michigan Avenue, another in Walnut Creek- California Downtown.

Hang on! Did I mention all eight of them? There's another in Lake Oswego- Oregon Village Shopping Center!

Another luscious one along Walnut Street in Philly. They call it Naked Chocolate Cafe! any other, please??

Is this some kind of advertisement?

Yes/ No! I've been nuts about chocolate cafes. So, I wanted to exchange info on all chocolate cafes around, just for fun. I can whisk my babe to one of these. Do you know any such cafe, btw??please share...

We went to Max Brenner's in Union Square, NYC. The place was packed on a Saturday around 2:30 PM. It was worth the wait. If you're a chocolate lover and in New York, it's a must do.
