Breakfast treats, tea time snacks & (mostly) chocolate desserts. We are best known for our rich cinnamon hot chocolate cake, however our enrobed brownie bites, & dulce de leche chocolate pudding also have devoted followings. We also have steel-cut oats, & homemade granola & yogurt. For lunch we have delicious soups, quiches, stradas, & sandwiches on bread that we bake here each day to provide savory options.
Are all made in our kitchen, in small batches to guarantee freshness. We have a variety of hand-rolled ganache truffles (bittersweet, fleur de sel, spicy, & seasonal flavors). Our own marshmallows are always available in vanilla, but we like to mix it up w/ the occasional espresso or peppermint: wonderful in drinks or all by themselves. We also make dark chocolate barks: almond w/ sea salt is always in rotation, but special flavors such as peppermint & toffee are available seasonally. Come by & see what other confections are capturing our imagination!
Great hot cocoa. Cozy atmosphere
Best iced hot chocolate I've ever had and it's a nice small place
I loved their Aztec milkshake, and if it didn't involve making a ganache first, I would try making it at home! Spicy <3
MoreSo I came back but this time the hot chocolate did not taste the same. That's why I revised my review. My friend also ordered the same exact drink as last week and also agreed it didn't taste the same. We presume they probably added cocoa maybe last time and this time they didn't. In any event, it tasted like any regular hot chocolate. No prizes here.I tried the classic chocolate and it is over, above, and superb!!! Leaves Starbucks hot chocolate way behind by FAR!!! If it was a hot chocolate competition between those two places in taste, this place beats it without a tiny doubt! YOU gotta taste it yourself. Be the judge is that and your taste buds will understand. I don't know what they put in that chocolate but it's the best I've tasted.
MoreNice overall bakery/cafe style menu, but the best bet is one of the several hot chocolates. If you are normally a dark chocolate fan, the bittersweet hot chocolate is the one to warm your hands and heart with.
MoreOpen until a slightly later hour, this local treasure makes their mocha with not-too-sweet melted chocolate that gives it a rich smokiness which is not to be missed.
MoreNice mocha
One of my most favorite, most chill spots in the middle of Rockridge. A perfect place to read a book. Try their chocolate chai with a "Not Oreo" -- both very yummy. Also! They have a printer that you just email documents to. It's saved me a ton of time to just walk over and pick up forms and junk. Overall a lovely spot.
MoreEnjoyed my cookie and hot chocolate. Nice atmosphere to sit and get work done or read a book
MoreThe absolute best mocha I have ever had IN MY LIFE. Nice kitsch folky atmosphere. Great place to get little gifts for friends.
MoreGreat little place with awesome hot chocolate. Pop in, you won't be disappointed!
MoreChef Lisa is talented. She's been practicing vegan baking before it was popular. She showcases a variety of flavors, textures, and health conscious ingredients. I highly recommend this place. I'm a cook, btw. I have over ten years experience in kitchens and Chef Lisa impressed me.
MoreDelish and made sure our kids hot chocolate was just the right temperature. Thanks!
MoreI enjoy the chai latte. Sweeten it yourself... such a nice option! A favorite Rockridge hang. Hope you guys can continue to make a go of it :)
MoreMy favorite shop on college ave. It's like stepping into another world, where everything moves just a little slower, and there's just a little more time for everything. It is a great place for coffee or drinking chocolate on a weekend morning.
MoreHot chocolate was way too sweet, coffee is too bitter, it's not very clean, very small portions for a very steep price.It's so not worth it, to the point of worst starbucks might be worse in service but better in coffee quality.But it was not disgusting place, and my drinks were being prepared okay, it's just recipes were totally off with amount of sugar! Cashier was pretty nice.
MoreThis place is fabulous. Great food and drinks and super cozy, quiet and friendly environment. I really like the spicy hot chocolate, the mocha, the cinnamon cake, the chocolate flourless confection, and the brownies. Obviously focus on th chocolate based goods here.
MoreI love this place! Delicious baked goods with lots of gluten free and vegan options (but not only) and great music.
MoreWonderful Hot Chocolates Menu
Best hot chocolate I've ever had and great atmosphere
Intimate little cafe with a small selection of drinks, served in mugs for dine-in. The variety comes from the wide range of chocolate selections available to pair with the drinks. I loved the look and vibe. Overall, quirky and friendly little place with good coffee and treats.
MoreSmall, cozy coffee house atmosphere, great for some quiet time. Not a huge selection, but I tried two of their hot chocolates and they were easily some of the best I've had. They even let me sample first. High marks!
MoreCool tables. Collaborated chairs. Good selection and milkshakes.
Why did the SF one close down??? Why? I love their hot chocolates! They have great lunch options with amazing salads that are quite filling!! I usually get carried away with their cakes and pastries.
MoreThe spicy chocolate was spicy. Next time will try the bittersweet. This is a very special homey place.
MoreI came here when it was just called Bittersweet. The best, thickest, most satisfying cup of hot chocolate I’ve ever had.
MoreQ chocolate thing for everybody!!! Seriously, so much variety
this spot is very cute and cozy
Good coffee and hot chocolate. Very quiet most of the times too
Lisa provides fantastic customer service and the chocolate is wonderful - what a perfect combination
MoreThe chocolate zucchini bread is delicious. I've never had anything like it before!
MoreQuaint little coffee and chocolate shop in the Rockridge area between Berkeley and Oakland
MoreAlways get a bicerin and whatever chocolate dish is on special.
Teeny tiny shop but a sweet meeting spot. Great for chocolate lovers. Daily sandwiches seem to sell out fast. No wifi. Great music.
MoreDon't miss the salted caramel hot chocolate. Divine!
Great food and drinks. Slightly annoying furniture. Staff was in a bad mood when I went; hopefully not the usual...
MoreAbsolutely loved the salted caramel hot chocolate!
One of the best hot chocolate I've ever had in the bay area! It's not a huge selection but every choice they have here is amazing! The atmosphere is very welcoming and warm. This is the perfect fall and cold weather stop!
MoreThis place is fantastic, best cup of coffee I have had in many a day.
The Chocolate Dragon is one of my favorite cafes in the East Bay -- it's warm and cozy in every way thanks to Lisa, who is the owner and baker. My recommendations: the chocolate zucchini bread, the hot chocolate cinnamon cake, and any of the hot chocolate drinks (Lisa uses high quality ingredients). Lisa also has a wide variety of chocolates and is happy to offer a sample.
MoreReally amazing hot chocolate. Gourmet chocolates also available.
Lovely place. Warm, cozy, smells great, delicious chocolate and treats.
Great hot chocolate, including non dairy. Staff is also very helpful
Wonderful dark chocolate drink and awesome chocolate goodies.
Check out their "Cosmo" chai, best mix of chocolate and chai tea.
Such a beautiful authentic cafe. Definitely deserves more popularity than it has. The chocolate dragon is a warm homey place small in size that has a very lovely atmosphere. The baked goods, coffee, and various chocolates are all finely made and presented. My only downside is the odd lack of invitation behind the counter.
MoreBest cafe in California!
Great baked goods, chocolate, beautiful old wooden tables and walls.
Incredible. Best hot chocolate I've had in my entire life.
Very quaint cafe with awesome decorations and ambiance. Great place to sit and talk while enjoying some spectacular hot chocolate
