Nice and quiet ambience with a dash of sweetness

This nice little cafe just opened up on Michigan right south of the river and it seems like a good place to have a quiet conversation with your friends. The location is really spacey and open and it was peacefully quiet. There are some really neat chocolates that we didn’t get to try, but I’m sure we’ll pass by again :) The people are also super friendly – they even walked around and offered chocolate samples.

If you happen to be walking up or down Michigan Ave., stop in and grab a little dessert. Chocolate is good for you!

It was sort of like a thin slice of tiramisu but a little denser and much more chocolatey.

This shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate wasn’t nearly sweet enough for my tastes, but it look cool.

Good chocolates, but not the best I’ve tried. Their ganaches are very frosting-like and heavy, and all of their flavors seem to be geared towards the mild, unadventurous dessert crowd.

place for liquid chocolate lovers

Moonstruck Cafe is a nice, trendy cafe which serves chocolate themed items. They have tons of chocolate, and products with chocolate integrated into it. I thought the prices were kind of high, though they did have some novel drinks and food items. The cookies and pastries with chocolate were all very tasty, but they cost a lot and were small. You are definitely paying for quality, not quantity. It’s a place worth visiting if you like chocolate, because they probably have something there you would love.

A very rich, sweet drink. Definitely not for those who can’t take exceptionally sweet drinks. I forget what’s in it exactly, but it has lots of goodies like cinnamon I think.

Chocolate Soda

It definitely has novelty value, but it was just OK in my opinion. It’s what you think it would be: soda with a tint of chocolate flavor.

yum sweets on michigan

a small chocolate cafe on michigan ave., i dropped by moonstruck on the way home fr/dinner for a quickie sweet snack.

the cafe is more quiet than you’d expect, and offers a mix of spaciously arranged sitting arrangements – sofas, cafe round tables, and high barstool tables.

i’ll most likely come by this place again when walking down michigan. how can i not??! chocolate cafes are irresistable!

crunchy, crescent moon-shaped shortbread cookie half-dipped in milk chocolate. i like my cookies chewy, not crunchy…so, not too crazy about this one. still yum, though.
