      <content>All I know is that they will have Blue Bottle Coffee.  Here's a link to a blog post - the blog is hosted by a guy who works for Blue Bottle Coffee.

      <content>Isn't Alice Medrich, former owner of the Cocolat stores and most recently author of the award winning book of the same name (Bittersweet), involved with this new shop as an investor or consultant or designer?  Are those some of her posters on the website www.bittersweetchocolatecafe.com/ ? </content>

      <content>I live very close-by and have been waiting for them to open the doors.  Today I walked by and they were having a private party.  Looks pretty cool inside; pretty similar to a nice coffee shop with a bar and several tables.  I'll post a report as soon as they open!
 
In the meantime, I'm taking a date to have dessert at Cafe Cacao this week.  I must be a sweet guy. </content>

      <content>Bittersweet on College Ave. (next to Diesel Books) opened last week. The place seems very popular so far. Nice ambience, great things to put in your mouth.</content>
