Eclipse Chocolat

[All images from Eclipse Chocolat]

I really like sweets. Especially chocolate. I appreciate the really fine, dark, high quality goods (one of my favorites is Chocolove,) so I was really excited when I typed in "chocolatier+San Diego" in Google and came across Eclipse Chocolat, a chocolate cafe that serves everything from steaming hot cocoa infused with chiles and caramel to cupcakes with goat cheese and fig.

Mmmmmmmmm.

I had the opportunity to visit this gem and had a decadent time eating my Lavender-Vanilla bean cupcake: Chocolate-crème fraîche cake+50% dark chocolate lavender-vanilla bean filling+dark chocolate ganache glaze+vanilla bean sugar topping. I unfortunately did not bring my camera, but the owner's lovely blog has a nice array of pictures that people can drool over! Check out Eclipse Chocolat if you're in San Diego--eat a small dinner to prep.
