Best Mocha Latte Chocolate Iguana
500 N. Fourth Ave. STAFF PICK: With a name to live up to like Chocolate
Iguana, this java joint doesn't disregard the cocoa in the
caffe. In the sea of perk purveyors in town that mix a little
milk with some mild house blend and a gob of Hershey's syrup and
call it a mocha, the Iguana takes utmost care in combining only
the best ingredients. The espresso is nearly gritty, the chocolate
dark and thick, the whipped cream rich and real. Drinks
are made fresh with each order--even the iced variations are made
anew, rather than stored in plastic jugs in the fridge. Unlike
so many iced-coffee drinks that wind up emasculated versions of
the real thing, Chocolate Iguana's iced mochas jump-start the
circulatory system--and the taste buds. It's no wonder this little
café has been winning awards for this drink for years.
