AMSTERDAM: Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate

I may have stopped eating potato chips and drinking soft drinks, but I could never give up chocolate. Whether it's coco powder in hot milk (or blended avocado and milk) and honey, or chocolate bits in my cereal or just chocolate cake, it pervades the segment of my life that revolves around food. We came across this stall set up in Albert Cuyp Market in Amsterdam in all it's happiness-inducing chocolatey glory and, though most of the trip was a rush to explore the city in the little time we had, we spent an abnormal amount of time here mulling over which chocolate pieces to get.

Last day in Amsterdam 


Metropolitan Deli: Not particularly dutch a cafe, but we were drawn to it like moths to a flame. Before even stepping into the cafe, the familiar bittersweet smell of chocolate consumed our senses and resistance was futile. 
Milk chocolate pistachio cake - so good we melted at the first bite
There were literally humongous chocolate blocks sitting on the counter and a fondue fountain behind it - no wonder it smelled so heavenly.
