Dilettante Mocha Cafe & Chocolate Martini Bar
538 Broadway Ave East, Seattle, WA
http://www.dilettante.com/, multiple locations in Seattle

In 2008, my brother James and I got some mocha coffees from the Dilettante Mocha Café stall in the Southwest air terminal at SeaTac airport. We were impressed and amazed at the varietal bittersweet chocolates and the strength of the espresso. We raved about them to everyone we knew that liked coffee and chocolate.

Alas, this location, the biggest, is certainly not the best. The showy desserts are way too sweet. Even worse, the barista was sloppy, giving us lukewarm mochas and chocolates that were overmilked.

Bleh. What a disappointment! It shows once again, the simpler something is, the more skill is required not to muck it up.
