Cricket & Fig Chocolate

slow saturday mornings on south lewis have a particular pace, and cricket & fig chocolate fits right into it. tucked into the 5800 block at suite 129, it's the kind of spot you end up returning to without planning it, a place that becomes part of a routine before you've noticed. the crowd that calls this place theirs is loyal in a way that doesn't require explanation. you don't get that kind of standing without doing something consistently right. independent shops at this level tend to attract people who are there to actually be somewhere, not just pass through. the chocolate side of the menu is worth your attention just as much as the coffee. a cortado on a weekday morning before the neighborhood fully wakes up is a good place to start.
