"The Pearl District’s Roste Chocolate House has changed the Portland hot chocolate game. The shop processes its own chocolate in-store and serves six variations of hot chocolate. The pure melted chocolate offers a two-ounce concentrated shot of cocoa, while the drinking chocolate mixes in a touch of milk. A classic hot chocolate is available, as well as a Mexican hot chocolate with chile and cinnamon. Find a small menu of pastries and other bites, including brownies, chocolate chunk cookies, and a bacon breakfast sandwich." - Rebecca Roland, Seiji Nanbu
