The Chocolate Dessert Cafe, home of the tempting Chocolate Caramel Cupcake that I love so much, will open a second location next Monday, November 2. Tonight I had the chance to get a sneak peak of this new West Jordan sweet spot.
In my mind there is a fine balance that must be achieved when opening a second location. You want to maintain your brand, but also give each new location its own feel and flavor. The Chocolate has managed to do just that. The second I pulled off of Redwood Road an adorable old brick home with a green door jumped right out. I immediately knew this was the place.
There’s a special sorta magic that comes with an old home. Every nook and cranny tells a story and somehow manages to bring up some sort of personal nostalgia. From fancy door knobs and stain glass windows, rounded doorways and obscure drawers in the middle of halls; to built-in bistro seating and a checkerboard floor, this new location for The Chocolate has it all..and it just works.
True to the owners’ style, Ange and Craig Christiansen transformed each room from wood floral to ceiling. Salmon, chartreuse, chocolate and pale blue walls are adorned with grouped mirrors, pictureless-retro frames, lovely lamps, funky-patterned upholstered furniture, and stylish floral-inspired art.
The front room sticks out most with its matted, bright white hearth. Each end of the mantel are lit up with colonial light sconces that give the room a welcoming ambiance– perfect for a late night dessert. Speaking of dessert…it’s the reason you should go to The Chocolate. It’s not called a dessert cafe for nothin’.
The menu at the West Jordan location stays the same. And it’s a good thing, because West Jordanites can now satisfy every desire for all things cake, cookies, brownies, tarts, lemon bars and of course…cupcakes. But it doesn’t end there. The Chocolate also houses extra special desserts from the kitchen like The Cazookie (two cookie doughs baked together in a tin and topped with a scoop of melty vanilla ice cream) and The Magic Potato (which is actually The Magic Pumpkin for the month–buttery brown sugar, pecan-crusted sweet potato or pumpkin with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream), it’s a real indulgence.
You’re bound to have a great time at West Jordan’s newest hangout. Bring your friends, bring a date or go by yourself. There’s plenty of room to stay a while…oh and try that Chocolate Caramel Cupcake that I love. You won’t regret it.
