Hot Chocolate Sparrow

 Sparrow Outside Sparrow Girl

The Hot Chocolate Sparrow is an amazing coffee shop that serves ice cream.  The shop is always busy and you can find it full at any time of the day.  With a wide array of coffee, cakes, chocolates, ice cream, juices, and more Hot Chocolate Sparrow is a great place to eat, snack, and visit.  Even though its always busy we found that the service is fast and accurate.  You can find a wide variety of people at the Sparrow, from “sea billy’s” in their mesh back cap, yuppies, elderly retirees, students, moms, dads, kids, even emo/goth kids.  They all get along, and all seem to be having a great time.

The atmosphere is wonderful with lots of art, and shiny things (yes I love shiny things) to look at on the walls.  The building lets in lots of natural sunlight and its always warm and smells of good food and drink.  The Hot Chocolate Sparrow is one of the best places to visit on the Cape.

Sparrow Icecream

The Sparrow specializes in coffee and hot chocolate, but they make a mean chocolate treat as well.  I recommend the light and dark chocolate cashew turtles.  While the ice cream is not homemade it is good.  Tess got the pumpkin ice cream and I got the death by chocolate.  They were both really good, the pumpkin was really really pumpkin’y, and the death by chocolate was really umm deathy.  Both were good and creamy but the pumpkin was kind of icy, and the serving was not very big for the price.
