    I will definitely come back here! I was craving for something sweet and a friend recommended this. Rather than chewing on something sweet, I decided to order their (dark) hot chocolate and it was velvety smooth happiness! My s/o and friend ordered their iced tea drink and it was good as well. I forgot specifically what the name of that drink was. There are pastries and more chocolates here as well.

    The place has good amount of seats. The staff are so pleasant. Parking can be tough because of the area. Overall I will definitely come back to try more things in their menu.

    If you're looking for a go to chocolate spot in the city ,then look no further. Blue stripes is owned by the same person as Max Brenner. Their menu is extensive and boasts of high quality rich chocolate desserts. The place was crowded but the ambience was friendly. What we got -
    1. Iced Nutella foam - I absolutely love Nutella and this hits the spot for that craving.
    2. Chocolate brownie - not too sweet and I love that it was made of dark chocolate
    3. Chocolate lava cake -  it was scrumptious and soft. My only issue was the temperature. I wish it was warmer so I could enjoy the hot molten chocolate lava actually burning my mouth
    Next time I want to try the chocolate pizza and mousse on their menu.

    The best. Amazing croissants with Nutella filling (much better IMO than nearby Nutella). Also, love the almond with chocolate drizzle, and the tea latte.

    Very comfortable relaxing atmosphere unfortunately always packed. Food, deserts and drinks I've tried are legit.

    What I've tried so far from Blue Stripes  has been nothing short of excellent . Not too sweet yet very savory. Prices are in the higher side though. My favorite item would have to be their peanut butter and jelly filled cupcake . The chocolate cake layer and s'more topping is so moist and builds up the suspense to the how come of the peanut butter and jelly filling. All I know is is that it works!

    Friday early afternoon, fairly packed inside with people on laptops finishing up breakfast. Menu is listed overhead behind the counter, while most of the food is displayed behind the glass.

    Wasn't looking for anything substantial, so decided on the Nutella Foam Cloud ($8.50) and a Butter Croissant ($3?). After a few minutes, got my order and got the last remaining table towards the back. Have to say, I was disappointed in my drink. The cloud tastes like a watered down version of a milkshake. It's supposed to be light and airy, which it is, but the flavor doesn't come through as well as it should. Wish I had gone with one of the cake+shakes instead. Croissant is your standard fare; you can get a drizzle on it if you like, though that would have been overkill.

    Service here is efficient, as no one seems to wait that long. I think I got the wrong thing here, might try their shakes if coming back.
