Oakland\/Emeryville DIY Tour<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n UPDATE October 2016: Bittersweet Caf\u00e9 is now The Chocolate Dragon Bittersweet Caf\u00e9 & Bakery.<\/p>\n Their do-it-yourself philosophy extends to the caf\u00e9 space itself. The interior uses reclaimed wood for the counter and old mismatched tables and chairs for seating. Chocolate and coffee displays are on old buffet tables.<\/p>\n We recommend going to The Chocolate Dragon for their hot chocolate drinks, especially the Spicy Hot Chocolate, which has a nice warmth from cayenne and white pepper. But they also carry a nice selection of\u00a0artisan chocolate from around the world and some local chocolate.<\/p>\n Ask the baristas for hot chocolate and chocolate bar recommendations. They have tried a lot of chocolate.<\/p>\n Get a cup of their house-made hot chocolate, which means from bean to cup in this case<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37269,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-tourpage.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[147,146,15,447,500,488],"tags":[210,424,270,1463,1468,1346,1310],"class_list":["post-4650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shops","category-listingssfba","category-local-chocolate","category-tour-stop-oakland","category-tour-stop","category-update","tag-cafe","tag-chocolate-shop","tag-dandelion-chocolate","tag-deux-cranes-chocolates-and-confections","tag-listing","tag-sjaaks-organic-chocolates","tag-the-chocolate-dragon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4650"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4650\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44424,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4650\/revisions\/44424"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}D-I-Y Aesthetic<\/h2>\n
