Last Tuesday we stopped at Caffe’ Chocolat in Titusville, Florida. We noticed it in the historic downtown part of Titusville a couple days earlier as we drove out to Playa Linda beach. When we drove by a second time, on another adventure, we took the opportunity to stop.
The cafe portion is truly a restaurant with a complete menu including sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, and salads. They also serve specialty coffees, hot and iced. Of course they have fine chocolates and other desserts.
Our interest was in their Chocolate Salon. Here they had a wide assortment of chocolates made right in the store. Pam, owner and chocolatier, has been making the chocolates for more than six and a half years now.
We picked up five pieces of chocolate: the dark chocolate signature truffle, dark chocolate covered sea salt caramel, champagne truffle with dark chocolate, single source Ecuador dark chocolate truffle, and a dark chocolate coconut cluster. (While our choices were all dark chocolates milk chocolate options were also available.)
While each of the chocolates were all quite enjoyable my favorite was the coconut cluster. With the smooth dark chocolate and the toasted coconut, in proper proportions, this morsel really hit the spot at the end of a long day. Delicious!
Before I close out this article I also have to mention the sea salt caramel. Perhaps you’ve already read my blurbs about bacon and chocolate. There is a certain appeal to the saltiness combined with the sweet and rich chocolate flavor. This particular chocolate covered caramel offers that sweet/salty sensation without the smoky flavor of the bacon.
Of course the geographic positioning of Caffe’ Chocolat in Titusville, neighboring the Atlantic, adds just a bit more authenticity to the sea salt experience.
Stop by Caffe’ Chocolat the next time you’re visiting the space coast. Or try online at www.caffechocolat.com.
