Did Someone Say Chocolate?

Alpaca suggested that, while we were in town for husband's college roommate's wedding, we stop in Berkeley for a tour of the Scharffen Berger factory (http://www.scharffenberger.com/). This consisted of a woman telling us the history of Scharffen Berger chocolate, taking us through the factory so we could see (and hear) the machines and feeding us samples. Guess which part we liked best.

After the tour, we had lunch at Cafe Cacao (http://www.cafecacao.biz/), which is owned and operated by (and is attached to) the Scharffen Berger factory. We enjoyed a delicious tomato and basil bisque, a cheesy veggie quiche, a side of sweet potato fries and a mediocre BBQ Chicken. Oddly, we didn't save room for dessert. Alpaca scolded us for our silliness. The Alpaca's got a point.
