The best place to stock up on chocolate and calories. Apart from perfect chocolate truffles, this cafe also makes the best opera slices and strawberry tarts in town. And they serve excellent coffee to boot! The location at China Central Place is more charming than the Dongzhi Men cafe, but go to whichever one is closest to you -- you won't be disappointed. Open 7am to 9pm.
