I am typing from what might be seen as the Vallejo version of Caffe Pergolesi – a hip, well-lit place to down a cup o’ chai and tap away on the free wifi as if you’ve got something important to do.
Does anyone remember the book/movie Matilda, and the scene where the boy has to eat that ultra-chocolate cake, like, the sweetest thing in the world? I just ordered something to top that, and damn, was it good. I’m not big on chocolate, but that’s some good chocolate.
When I have really sweet chocolatey stuff, my sister and I have some weird reaction where our upper cheeks, or the area just under our eyelids, get cold and moist. It’s pretty strange. Okay off to El Cerrito where we are checking out some karaoke place!
I very much intend on visiting the coffeehouse by my parents apt. building, which is comparable to Pergs. http://portfoliocoffeehouse.com/
too bad I don’t have a laptop, so I would have to pay for computer use there…
Hooray Matilda! My favorite coffee shop sells cake kind of like that, except it’s more cheesecake-ish.
