Dining

Chocolate Pink Pastry Café
At first glance, the new chocolatier resembles your typical diminutive café that serves the obligatory iced-caramel coffee but upon closer scrutiny this dessertary offers hand-made chocolate decadence and scrumptious cupcakes with a cordial (sorry) smile.  Further exploration reveals a cozy event space upstairs for up to 20 people. BYOB & your checkbook ‘cause this kind of sweet experience is created to satisfy the most sophisticated palate.
