The tea was good, and the chocolate croissant was warmed and went very well on that cold night. I wasn't getting strong notes of chocolate, but it was a nice smooth spiced tea.

Not something I would miss if it were off the menu, but I might pair it with a chocolate croissant again some night.

Rating: 2/4 leaves
