Hot Chocolate Heaven

Last night, my friend and I stepped outside after having just seen Persepolis and it felt like 30 degrees! Brrrrrr!

Parked on the other side of the shopping center lot, both of us tried not chattering our teeth when we talked on our way to the car. Having shivered like crazy in the car ride before the heat kicked on, I noticed it was 10:45 p.m. - 15 minutes before Saxbys closed.

I said we're going and five minutes later, we're there. Time wasn't so much the issue as was the urgency to feel warm again. Because I work there, the two guys closing were cool with us staying longer while they did their closing duties.

Ah, there's something so serene about the coffee shop environment that you can't find elsewhere. I felt warm and comfortable instantly when I entered the shop, before I had something hot to drink.

We found comfort on the large leather couches in the back corner, talking over Saxbys delicious hot chocolate made with Monin dark chocolate and white chocolate gourmet sauces (which I think are the best syrups for specialty coffee drinks).

Mmmm, it's good to be me.
