Living Room Coffeehouse - College Area

San Diego Reader's hot cocoa roundup describes Living Room Coffeehouse's version as melted chocolate chunks steamed into milk, white or dark, with syrup flavors like pumpkin, mint or cinnamon for fifty cents more, running 3.75 dollars for a medium and 4.25 for a large. The Infatuation's own review of the College Area location, open until 11 p.m. daily, calls it a room frozen in 1991, its founding year, with eight broken clocks on the wall and a couch culture that mixes strangers across generations. Order the dark chocolate with a cinnamon syrup add-in, then settle onto a couch.
