Psycho Donuts: Campbell, CA

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Zach says their Apricotology (aka Apricot Fritter) is the best doughnut he has had in his life.  This is a bold statement coming from Zach.  So it must be at least pretty good because he is picky!

So which came first, Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, Oregon with their punk rock concoctions OR Psycho Donut in Campbell, CA?  We have tried Voodoo Doughnuts maple bacon doughnut and it was good but Portland is a pretty far drive from SF.  So when we came across Psycho Donut in San Jose/Campbell we were pleasantly surprised with their creative and funky doughnut creations.  They also have some pretty interesting illustrations and street art decorating their walls.

What we love: Apricotology and the Butter Finger Doughnut (chocolate cake doughnut)

Chocolate, the Myth, the Legend; Downtown Santa Cruz

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Doctor, please, I need Chocolate intravenously pumped into my blood stream!

Food & Beverages: The Desserts & Appetizers are the winners on the menu at Chocolate.  The desserts are amazing and can be enjoyed with just a beverage later in the evening.  Or you can indulge in a romantic dinner by sharing a fondue appetizer or small antipasti plate and then dessert to split.

Good Date Spot: Romantic Dining Room & Heated Outdoor Patio.  Both of these dining areas are dimly lit for a romantic dinner or after dinner desserts with your honey or close friends.  FYI: the bathroom is located in the Bookshop Santa Cruz

After dinner suggestions: Stroll around the Bookshop Santa Cruz afterward to let your food digest because you will be quite full, OR head to 515 for a creative hand-mixed cocktail.

FINAL BITF: Chocolate is an after-dinner dessert stop for us.  We (John & Les) love to share the Gelato Sundae and the large Mate Veza Pale Ale.  Stick with the foundation dishes (cheese apps & antipasta plates) and desserts at Chocolate and you will be happy.
