Stylish Eats: The Chocolate Room

We stopped by The Chocolate Room in Brooklyn for the second time last night in search of the kind of happiness only a rich dessert can provide. Located in Park Slope, The Chocolate Room is a cute cafe with a warm, bakery-type atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and sweet (I would be too if I was surrounded by chocolate all day!) and we were seated quickly. I love anything with pumpkin ice cream, so I ordered the special of the night - which included the seasonal treat, along with a chocolate pecan tart. The pecan tart was delicious! It wasn't overly sweet, but still indulgent. My boyfriend modestly chose a vanilla and coffee milkshake, but I made him share my dessert (reluctantly, of course). I definitely recommend a visit if you're a chocoholic, or you just have a major sweet tooth like me!

What we had:
The "Special" - Pecan and chocolate tart with pumpkin ice cream $9
Vanilla and Coffee Milkshake (not pictured) - Vanilla ice cream with a potent dose of coffee - $7

Stylish Eats: Brooklyn Farmacy

Welcome to the first post of a new series called Stylish Eats :)

I've heard such great reviews about Brooklyn Farmacy, and was so excited to finally experience the yumminess for myself. We didn't really know what to expect on a Sunday night, but as we walked in we felt instantly at home. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive (not to mention stylish), and they do an amazing job of creating the atmosphere of a 50s soda fountain shop. We were only there for about 30 minutes, but we didn't feel rushed (one of my pet peeves). If you're in search of a little something sweet in Brooklyn, definitely stop by!
