The Chocolate Dragon Bittersweet Cafe and Bakery 5427 College Avenue, Oakland, CA 94618

"Cozy dungeon full of muggles and wizards sipping magical dark liquid of chocolate."

"I've always passed this place when they were already closed and always wanted to try it. Tonight, they were just closing but they let me order anyway. I had never looked at the menu so I just told them that I like bittersweet with little sugar (I'm diabetic) and they seemed to know exactly what I wanted. And they nailed it! I loved the drink they made for me. They also seemed genuinely happy to serve me even though I was their last customer tonight. I will now go out of my way to go here in the future. Great drinks, great service! Can't ask for more."

"Amazing unique cafe. Lovely drinks and pastries. Their mocha coffee while not unique is a highlight. The service is good at answering questions but they do seem very concerned with ferrying people in and out. Students- beware!!! This is a no laptop zone on weekends, which is disappointing for local college kids."

"This will be your secret go-to for a one-of-a-kind chocolate gift to a chocolate nerd friend, or simply a wow trip to the chocolate kingdom with dragons. They are serious about chocolate. They organize chocolate like books. They have the attitude of a museum. The price is not low, but they deserve it."

"Not only a great chocolate shop but a great coffee shop as well. This little boutique on College Ave had been flying beneath my radar until I stumbled in the other day. The place has the fare one expects at a good coffee shop, a selection of coffee brews and espresso drinks along with pastries and other goodies. However their mocha is quite the delight, with a real dark chocolate taste to it - something that I love. On top of the normal coffee drink menu, there are a number of more exotic chocolate drinks, a tasty thicker chocolate espresso drink or even thicker European style hot chocolate. For chocolate lovers these are a must. The ambience is rather eclectic with fun decorations and even little dragon figurine sets, it definitely gives the feel of fun place to visit. There is a huge variety of chocolates to choose from, some just shelves with a collection of chocolate bars from different providers, but also their own selection of chocolate as well. The owner is a fascinating woman, and very interesting to talk to with a lot of background in the local chocolate industry. The service of course was very good and the verse that was very friendly."
