With
the rain coming down ready to set records after eating an excellent
lunch at The Big Easy and our car parked 2 blocks away we decided what
else was there to do but wait for the rain to dissipate next door at the
Chocalada Bakery & Cafe.  We walked and was immediately overwhelmed
with all the cakes, pies and desserts in the 3 showcases.
Looking
over the case with the pastries we noticed that though each had a name
none had a price. We asked the lady behind the counter she said they ran
from $3+ to something not hearing her. We told her what we wanted and
she said just sit at a table and a waitress would be over.
It would
have been a lot nicer if she had said "I'll give the waitress your order
and she will bring it to you and get whatever drinks you want," but
that didn't happen. We walked outside and sat under a well covered area
with tables and chairs. Some of the outer tables were wet but we find a
dry one. A waitress came over and I ordered the Opera, a layered pastry,
while Allen ordered two  : a fruit delight and a amaretto Mocha. He had
forgotten the second one but by describing it the waitress knew what he
was talking about. We both asked for water to drink.
We still had no
idea what the pastries cost and there weren't any listed on their menu
which was mainly breakfast, sandwiches and salads.
Finished we
received our check and for the first time found out that each cost $3.75
We weren't really worried about the price and even if we knew and it
was higher we still would have gotten the same ones.
Allen didn't care for the Amaretto mocha but he did like the fruit delight. I didn't care for the Opera as it was too 'wet'.
The check came to $11.93 plus tax and tip.
Though
we would go back when we were on Hollywood Boulevard again I much
prefer Grandpa's Bakery in Dania and then there is the best,
Croissa'tine Frenvh Bakery on Federal in Fort Lauderdale.
