Sugar Rush: Dark Chocolate Sorbet at La Maison du Chocolat
While the lines for matcha frappes at Café Zaiya, custard at Shake Shack, and ice cream at 'wichcraft seem endless during these scorching summer months, it's is indeed curious that the crowds aren't pouring out of La Maison du Chocolat. How could it be that no one knows they carry a line of housemade ice cream and sorbets at just $4 for a generous scoop? There are plenty of drool inducing fruity and chocolatey options, but your best bet is the sultry dark chocolate sorbet which is every bit as delicious as their signature truffles, only turned into a refreshingly icy summertime treat.
