This Kaldi's offshoot focuses on coffee, of course, but it has you covered if you're not the java type. For less than $3 you can get your chocolate fix, all while feeling like you're at a ski lodge in Vail. There's food, too, but when it's snowing, we skip the sandwich and get a made-to-order s'more with that hot chocolate. It's just like being outside! Only, you know, not cold.
