Mrs. Potts Chocolate House

You'll find Mrs. Potts tucked into Park Street's vintage fabric, where the smell of real chocolate hits you before you've crossed the threshold. It's the sort of place where locals queue without complaining, partly because the hot chocolate actually tastes like chocolate (not that thin, apologetic stuff), and partly because everything's made in-house—the cakes, the brownies, the lot. The space itself is small and intimate, all exposed brick and character, which means you're basically guaranteed to overhear someone's animated conversation about their weekend plans. Go mid-week if you want to sit down immediately, or embrace the wait on weekends and watch Park Street's endless parade of people who've also decided this is where life's happening.
