Cafe Madeline is a mini bakery/cafe chain based out of SF. Their 3 outlets are all in or near the financial district. They carry a selection of French pastries as well as sandwiches. I was looking for a sweet caffeine boost a.k.a mocha but didn’t have the patience for a long wait at Blue Bottle. I took Yelp’s suggestion to try Cafe Madeline’s mocha. Apparently, they make their own chocolate. The mocha($3.90) itself was more like a hot chocolate but I wasn’t complaining. It wasn’t one of those mixes or powders, there was real melted dark chocolate in there and it wasn’t too sweet. Also, the chocolate whipped cream was a nice touch. This is definitely not for the calorie conscious. But if you are looking for an afternoon pick me up, Cafe Madeline’s mocha would be perfect.
