I recommend Johny Banana for two things:

1. The spicy hot chocolate, which NOW Magazine once voted "best in the city" (with reason). Extremely rich, dark and chocolatey.

2. The burritos (obviously!). I had a tasty cactus burrito (yep, sounds weird, I…More »

Update - 3/12/2010

Quite possibly the best date square in the city, usurping Red Rocket's previous title. There were samplers at the counter and I'm sure the barista took note of the fact that I wasn't backing away long after I'd placed and paid for my order.

However,…More »

You know, I really hesitate to update my review at the expense of hiding my previous one that implores you to patronize this place, but I feel a strong, gripping duty to inform the world that Calico graced my tastebuds with the richest, chocolatiest,…More »

OK, reality check.

Pain au chocolat should never, ever be filled with Nutella. And at Aroma, it is. I ordered the chocolate croissant and while the pastry part was sufficiently flaky and buttery, the filling (typically solid, slightly melty chocolate…More »

You MUST try the spicy Mayan Hot Chocolate from Soma with steamed milk or water (milk is my preference)! It's an unusual and unique spice blend that goes perfectly with rich chocolate.

In fact, if you're even within walking distance of the Distillery…More »
