The Amazing Fast Foods In Monterey — traveler post in Indio

The Amazing Fast Foods In Monterey

There is one chocolate shop that you should put it in your bucket list and it is a MUST eat MUST visit when you are in California Monterey. Heard of the ever famous Ghirardelli Chocolate, where most people will get gifts for friends and families where they have opened an ice cream shop which are famous for those squarish chocolates you see in supermarket. This is a Premium America chocolate brand where they have a cafe located at Steinback Plaza right infront of the monterey bay. We stopped here for a break due to the insane hot weather now in california, the ice cream toppings with chocolate of course is by Ghirardelli itself, therefore the really expensive prices which cost us almost $50usd for ice cream alone. They also do have a merchandise shop right by the cafe itself selling limited edition Ghirardelli merchandises that you can only get it from this particular shop. Also, no photo is allowed here in the gift shop, I was told off while trying to snap a shot. #bucketlistreboot #chocolate #usbrand #america #mustvisit #foodie #icecream #musteat #monterey #cafe
