Coco-Luxe is now Stanza in the Haight

This weekend I noticed that the former Coco-Luxe cafe on Haight Street has been transformed into Stanza.  I reviewed their Roark chocolate earlier. The main change seems to be that they have added wine to their focus, with a menu that includes tastings with chocolate and wine pairings.

I tried a couple of their chocolate squares -- one they said was 75% cocoa, the other 65%, both unlabeled.  I asked where it was made, and the barista/sommelier/cocoa steward said that it was made by "some guy in  Oakland".  Okay, then!

The squares were okay, not I'm not going to review them here.  They were, however, ridiculously expensive. $1.50 for what looked to be less than 10 grams of chocolate.
