Out for a romantic date night in Montrose? Save room for desert and head on over to The Chocolate Bar. You can gaze longingly into each others' eyes as you indulge in the sinfully rich pie, cake, ice cream or brownie of your choice.
I've been frequenting The Chocolate Bar since I moved to Midtown ten years ago, and it never disappoints. There's something magical about the way that the light from the slowly rotating disco balls play across the walls as 80s tunes are quietly piped through the speakers; it's one sweet party.
Cakes and pies, oh my!
On this sultry Houston evening, Burp and I ventured out for dinner at Montrose area churrascaria, Nelore Steakhouse. Deciding to skip Nelore's overpriced desert menu, but still needing to satisfy our sweet tooths, we ended up at The Chocolate Bar. After perusing the tempting confections in the dessert cases, we opted for the Night and Day cake. We were served a more than generous helping of sweet layers of white frosting sandwiched between decadent, super moist layers of chocolate cake, covered in chocolate ganache and then served up with a generous drizzle of chocolate sauce. I think that I understand why they call it the Night and Day cake, it's because it will take you at least a night and a day to finish it. Ba-dum-dum!
Night and Day cake
The Chocolate Bar also makes its own gourmet chocolate bars and treats. They seriously have a designer chocolate for everyone. Whether you like tennis, firemen or S&M (milk chocolate handcuffs, anyone?) there's a chocolate for that.
After treating yourself to something sinful, saunter on over to Candylicious next door and treat yourself to something innocent. Aisles of colorful candy delight the eye and bring back memories of a simpler time when sucking on a Blow Pop didn't make you dirty, it just gave you a sugar high.
Candylicious stocks up on retro goodies for the adults, and it's sure to charm the kids as well.
