Cafe Regular

$ | Café. A charming European atmosphere and a focus on top-quality products like La Colombe coffee, Jacques Torres hot chocolate, and Dona chai (hand-brewed in Brooklyn) make the two tiny locations in Park Slope feel like a special-occasion getaway.

Average main: $5 158a Berkeley Pl., Park Slope 718/783–0673 www.caferegular.com No dinner 2, 3 to Grand Army Plaza; B, Q to 7th Ave.

The Chocolate Room
