Bittersweet Confections

New Orleans

Café

$$$$

This dark-hued cafe specializes in chocolate confections that range from a chocolate king cake during Carnival to peanut butter bars and truffles. Befitting the expertly sliced, powdered, and frostings-coiffed cupcakes and other pastries behind the glass counters, the seating area is also clean and well-dressed, and home to various coffee breaks during the day.
