The Chocolate

The Provo foodie has spoken. The small town chef has answered.

With all of these fresh new eateries in town, I don't know what to do with myself. I never have to eat at a chain restaurant again.  It's bliss.

The Chocolate, a new dessert cafe that has spruced up the section of State St in Orem between Center and 4th South, has got my senses cheering for delight! Someone actually gets it. Someone realizes that we don't have to have the fugliest street in Utah. This thing, this person, this woman... she understands. Finally! I have been saying this for years.

Now, the building has been there since the turn of the century. The 20th century. So a long time. But now people are beginning to notice. Thanks to the little baker name Sue (I don't know her real name, but Sue sounds like an adequate baker's name). Her quaint little cafe with gourmet cupcakes, mountains high red velvet cake with gnosh frosting (yes, gnosh frosting) and this masterpiece, this thing, this dessert called the magic potato.  


The magic potato? Yes, the magic potato. It is the single most delicious vegetable/dessert that I have ever tasted.  The details are sickening, but it is a sinful treat for the eyes and mouth. A sweet potato with caramelized sugar and pecans, topped with creamy vanilla ice cream.  I salivate just thinking about it.


The seating is very feng shui, without any sign an asian has been there.  The music selection is nothing special, just some love tunes in the background. I still love it.
