However, the hot chocolate did not meet my expectations, as I did not detect the rich chocolate flavor found in other specialty hot chocolate establishments.

This comes in a set of 3 mini sizes. Staff was super accommodating and very patient with my decision paralysis of trying to choose flavors. They had great recommendations and our order was up quickly. Tried the hazelnut, semi sweet, and cardamom rose. Really enjoyed it! The marshmallows are also house made and were delish! Tried the truffle of the week, Baileys and they also had a line of brewery inspired flavors, so I tried the Clementine Cider. One also random star of the show is the well stocked washroom! Equipped with ample space, changing table, baby wipes, diapers, sanitary pads and tampons. Kudos for being well stocked for all the ladies and mamas out there!

If you want to try to find something new for a change, check out Hotel Chocolat. The Classic hot with 70% real chocolate with milk is amazing.

I like to go earlier in the morning when it's quiet and I can write in my journal and plan out my weekend. By 10am, young parents with kids tricks in for parent meetups. There is the occasional book club that gathers at the community stainless steel table. I suggest wearing headphones if you plan on staying for a few hours to focus. I forgot to mention that there is a small assortment of pastries to pair with a selection of hot, iced, and frozen chocolate concoctions. Enjoy!

My fav so far is the macaroon and sour cherry. Did not like the strawberry cheesecake as a candy though. I hear, they had 5 stores in New York which shut dpwn sometime during covid, and these two stores in Chicago opened about a year ago. They are really soft. Keeping them out at room temperature kind of melted them so I put them in the fridge. texas heat is too much for their sensitive fruity nature ;) There's a little card which tells exactly which chocolate is what flavor . Packing is really cool. Goes great as a gift.

There are traditional western varieties such as hazelnut, praline, coffee, and vanilla, as well as fruity options and other Filipino-inspired flavors.

She recommended a Bolognese Danish, a Dubai pistachio brownie, and I added an everything bagel and took it all to go. The Danish was by far my favorite. The pastry was flaky, heavenly, and the filling rich and meaty. This is a pastry worth crossing town for. The brownie was fine, but maybe I'm over the Dubai chocolate trend. It didn't really come together as a unified dessert for me. I wanted the brownie to be richer, fudgier, maybe even a bit sweeter. I would probably get something else next time. The everything bagel was a good texture, but the fennel seeds in the seasoning took me so far away from the classic "everything." They overpowered the other flavors, but the texture was fantastic. Overall, I enjoyed the treats I got, would go back to try some other options. I would probably give this 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. Also want to add how much I miss Hot Chocolate!

My usual go-to items are the plain croissant, hot fudge babka, hot fudge rugelach, and hot fudge croissant. The mister and I recently had a car maintenance appointment on a Friday morning so we made an effort to have a savory breakfast at Mindy's. There is a small ledge inside and outside the store with a few benches so you could enjoy your coffee and food before heading out. We had the breakfast sandwich with pistachio mortadella, American cheese, crisp parmesan, and fried egg. It was easily one of the best. The bun was extremely fluffy and held up really well. I would really like to recreate that crispy parmesan with my own homemade breakfast sandwiches. The bialy with vodka sauce, basil pesto, and mozzarella is not to be missed either. Both sandwiches can be a bit messy but it is worthwhile! I am looking forward to our next visit!
