Mmmm...chocolate.
On what turned out to be a sweltering day in the city, J and I found ourselves in the Haight Ashbury, inappropriately dressed in thick sweaters and thirsting for a cold drink. I stumbled into Coco-Luxe, a sparse (excuse me--minimalist) but cute chocolate shop specializing in treats made just across the bridge in Sausalito. We shared a mint truffle shake and sampled some mocha truffles. Everything was really tasty.
The mint shake was thick enough to taste like chocolate but thin enough to still be thirst quenching, it wasn't too sweet, and it had a flavor that I can only describe as chocolatey, but in a musky, complex, savory way only adults like. It was definitely not a shake for Hershey's or Ghirardelli lovers. The compostable cup and paper straw were cute touches. The truffles have an especially silky center; and to me, they melt at exactly the right speed. If Coco-Luxe becomes more widely available, I might just become a real fan.
