Sahagún Chocolate

This weekend, I went for a walk for no reason. I tend to do this a lot, especially when it is beautiful outside and I need to think. I brought Joe with me and we found ourselves on NW 16th Avenue. We ended up at a small cheerful chocolate shop called Sahagún, which I had been meaning to try forever, ever since I saw a small newspaper ad that was published just in time for Mother’s Day. The shop owners were celebrating Sahagún’s 3rd birthday with balloons, bubbly, luscious chocolate cake and music spun by DJ Primativa. Joe said he liked her ocean wave tattoo. I bought hot chocolate and it honestly gave me a much-needed energy boost. I didn’t buy any of the other wonderful creations that beckoned from behind the display case, but this serves me with multiple excuses to return often. They also make homemade sodas – the chili lemon one looked intriguing, but I was cold, so hot chocolate was my choice. Everything is homemade and fresh. It almost reminded me of the chocolate shops I delighted in during a trip to Belgium, but not too sweet (just the right amount) and certainly much more accessible.
