I met Lucia for a sweet Sunday afternoon treat at the Cocoa Bar in Park Slope. We have met there on many occasions, searching for the answers to life and finding...chocolate. I guess that makes sense.
I have already briefly mentioned the wonders of that place, but it deserves another mention. Even the teas are somehow magically infused with chocolate. We both drank Orange Bliss, a black tea with the aroma of chocolate and smooth taste of orange. Lucia made the serendipitously wise selection of the Sweet and Salty Cake, a chocolate layer cake with fluffy chocolate mousse-like icing and a mysteriously good micro-layer of saltiness between the cake and icing. I'm going back for breakfast tomorrow, perhaps for some coffee and truffles. Mmm, if that were only true.
