With a name like "The Best Chocolate Cake in the World" this tiny café has no choice but to live up to this daring declaration. The café name alone begs patrons to ask themselves, "Is this the best chocolate cake in the world?" For those who conclude that it is not, they are unable to deny that at the very least, it is a delicious treat.

This fairly new cafe with its stylish interior and limited seating is sure to keep the attention of SoHo chocolate lovers. With only two choices of milk or dark chocolate cakes, it is impossible to make a wrong selection. In addition to the "best chocolate cakes in the world", there are a variety of other food choices for customers on the menu. From fresh gelatos, daily juices, coffees, and assorted teas to a selection of small sandwiches to take the edge off a late afternoon appetite.

If you like your cake on the sweeter side then the milk chocolate cake is just for you. It is made with 55% cacao and will pair perfectly with a double shot of espresso. The dark chocolate cake is made with 70% cocoa and is reserved for those with a more savory pallet. No matter which cake you prefer, the primary ingredient is none other than the traditional time-trusted French Valrhona coverture. Each cake is made up of multiple layers of moist chocolate cake: delicately filled with wafer thin crisp chocolate meringue set in a dark chocolate meringue crust, then iced with rich chocolate ganache.

In these sluggish economic times, "The Best Chocolate Cake In The World" is a sweet place to meet up with an old friend to share a piece of cake over great conversation. Then afterwards, you can give it your own review. Will the café’s cakes truly hold up to what the name boldly states?
