Some 510 tidbits for you: first, the CHOCOLATIER BLUE chocolate shop on Fourth Street in Berkeley is now The Chocolatier Blue Parlor. Pasty chef Danyelle Forte is offering gourmet ice cream and ice cream-based treats, like sundaes, shakes, floats, and freezes. Current ice cream flavors, which change monthly, include young ginger, goat’s milk with Ennis hazelnuts, sweet lime with lemon thyme, and green apple yuzu, plus blood orange with rose geranium sherbet. You can still get Chocolatier Blue chocolates, cookies, and hot chocolate and coffee. Later this spring, built-in seating will be added to the heated patio. Open daily 11am-6pm. 1809 Fourth St. at Virginia, Berkeley, 510-665-9500.
HOT ITALIAN is now open in the Public Market Emeryville. As previously mentioned in tablehopper, there will be pizza, panini, and more. 5959 Shellmound St. at Powell, Berkeley, 510-922-1369.
According to some permits, SIMPLY GREEK appears to be adding a third location at 2929 Shattuck Ave. in Berkeley. A call in to one of their locations reveals it’s not a done deal yet, so stand by.
And this post on the Albany Patch announces two new coffee businesses coming to Solano Avenue: an Airstream trailer by Local 123, and Suzette Crepe & Coffee.
