This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

It's hard to think of a drink that's more comforting than hot chocolate. Whether it's a dreary day or you're simply craving something sweet, a mug of rich, creamy cocoa is the perfect pick-me-up. Unless you have the time and willpower to make it from scratch, chances are you're combining hot water or milk with a powdered mix. While there are store-bought hot chocolate mixes that stand out for their quality and chocolatey taste (Ghirardelli is Chowhound's go-to brand), they can often benefit from a little extra something for the creamiest cup possible.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.
