The Grove’s enormous chocolate chip cookie and legendary mocha chai (sadly sans the heart-shaped foam).
I have to admit, I’ve never been a coffee person. The entire café experience is lost on me, as I have yet to develop the caffeine addiction that so many of my friends pay tribute to (often at the expense of their bank accounts).
But, one day, I stepped into the Grove on Fillmore and decided to order their mocha chai. (Call me a pushover – all my friends were doing it.) Dubiously surveying its over-sized saucer, I inhaled its seductive aroma and took a tentative sip. Needless to say, my life changed forever.
