阿哥 accompanied me last Friday on yet another hot chocolate festival adventure haha. Our first destination was Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe. They were serving their Joy & Salt caramel milk hot chocolate with sea salt; I was craving more of this salty yet sweet taste after having had the sea salt caramel chocolate at Schokolade (click) and the sea salt caramel macaron at Thierry (click).

| The Joy & Salt served with a small edible at $4.48 (includes tax). |
The size of the drink really surprised us but after a quick sip, I was no longer surprised. It`s incredibly creamy, and rich does not begin to describe this Joy & Salt. The small edible to accompany this drink is actually a bite sized cookie that has a light cinnamon flavour. 阿哥 and I were struggling to finish this very small serving, I feel like you could easily share this between five people and it`d be just right. The taste of chocolate is very minimal, in fact I could hardly taste it. The caramel really takes the limelight. Mmm, it reminded me of the inside of a Cadbury caramel egg, except salty as well as thicker. By far the thickest drink I have tried this entire festival, you could probably use it as a sauce! I would not recommend one cup to yourself unless you really, really, REALLY like caramel. I think the term diminishing returns best describes my experience, I really enjoyed the first few sips!

| A look at the counter: sorry for the glare blocking the pastries! |
Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe is right by the bus stop on W 4th and Fir Street on the 84 bus, you`ll see the bright orange sign as you walk down Fir St (above photo). I like the simple design of the little bakery, and I`m impressed by their menu (it is hand written in chalk in the neatest hand writing I have seen in a while). They`ve chosen a really bright space that includes a lot of the natural light that I adore, and everything looks very clean. The only comment I have is there is limited seating for guests to enjoy their drinks and pastries.
A side note: I really like their business card, it`s actually embossed and on a nice thick card stock! The orange print is growing on me! But in conclusion, their Joy & Salt was good but I will bring more friends to share it with next time I come back to Beaucoup Bakery.
Sorry that I am busy studying away for two midterms tomorrow morning and failed to post all the hot chocolate posts before the end of the festival, but happy heart day everyone! Remember on this day to give love to important loved ones in your life including your family and most importantly yourself ♥
