Helmed by Fabio Scarpelli, an energetic Italian with a serious sweet tooth, Golosa is best known for its dozen varieties of hot drinking chocolate. Unlike the messy, powder-based brews chugged in ski lodges and space stations that haven't yet realized they've been abandoned, Golosa's cups of cocoa are thick, authentic, and velvety smooth. Try the spicy Peperoncino kicked up with red chili pepper ($6), or sink into the warm caramel base of the salty, gooey Salata al Caramello ($6). Equally exotic elixirs such as the Cardamom and White Pepper ($6) and Speziata ($6) pair well with the tiramisu, chocolate crème brûlée, pumpkin cheesecake, and other forkable treats on Golosa's rotating menu.

One of the longest-running local espresso establishments, Capriccio Cafe keeps eyelids ajar and hunger pangs at bay with specialty coffee drinks, fresh pastries, and grilled sandwiches. Enjoy a medium latte ($3.50) or a Ghirardelli mocha frappe ($4) to time-travel taste buds back to childhoods spent drinking steamed milk and chocolate syrup. Coffee lovers can also experience the liquid marshmallow sensation of a vanilla-seasoned latte ($3.35+) alongside breakfast treats including crumb cake ($2.25) and danishes ($2.75), which call out like Sirens to a sea of empty stomachs.
