Savor the Flavor no More

I was walking on Sheffield last week and I found out that a neighborhood favorite has closed: Savor the Flavor.

Though I was not a frequent customer, Savor the Flavor had a great atmosphere. They had ice cream, pastires, hot chocolate, and best of all: grilled cheese. They were known for their grilled cheese; probably my favorite with the exception of my own ;-) It was a great study spot and about a 10 minute walk from my apartment.

Apparently Savor the Flavor closed months ago, I just never noticed. It makes me sad. I remember going there as a freshman. I hope something goes in fairly soon.

I've also recently mourned Big Stuff Pizza on Lincoln. I had only been there once, but it was nice knowing I could go somewhere for a piece of pizza if I didn't want to order a whole one.

But that's what happens when you live somewhere for 4 years. Places come, and places go.

Hot Chocolate Quest: Caribou Coffee

If you followed my red eye blog, you knew that I was doing "the hot chocolate quest" for the linoln park area. I've decoded to carry it on here since RedEye Hoods is no longer up. =( It's sad, but I met some great people out of it and can add blogger to my resume.

Today's establishment: Caribou Coffee. Not only could you choose from dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate, but you could blend them! So I chose dark and white.

This, my friends, is hot chocolate. The real deal. Made from actual melted chocolate and steamed milk (according to the manager who made mine) this is very good. It's chocolate and it's hot. Exactly what Hot Chocolate SHOULD be.

It doesn't need any more explanation that that. So, here are the updated rankings

1. Caribou Coffee
2. "The Pig"
3. The Bean Caffe (DPU)
4. Citygrounds 
5. Einstein
