North Fork Chocolate Company

chocolate and coffee is a combination that sounds obvious until somewhere does it well, and north fork chocolate company on main road in mattituck seems to understand the difference. if you're passing through southold or making a day of the north fork wine country stretch, this is a reasonable place to stop without feeling like a compromise. the shop sits on main road, which puts it right in the middle of the kind of long island town that still has actual locals eating lunch nearby. well regarded by the people who live here, which tends to mean something. not the people who showed up once for a tasting weekend. worth timing your visit around a morning drink before the wineries open up.
