During the day this new Park Slope café/bar is full of families ordering fancy confections and cups of hot chocolate made from melted Belgium chocolate. Opt for the dark or cinnamon variety (8 oz., $3.75). Once the sun sets, friends and couples gather to indulge in wine and chocolate pairings—the pinot noir with whiskey truffles is quite delicious as are the unique wasabi truffles served with sake. Coffees and lattes are superb. A line of teas, coffees, chocolate bars, and spa products are easy to pick up. Cakes can be customized and dinner parties catered.
