Sweetz Chocolate & Treats Café

As I walk into Sweetz, a horde of people buzzes around chocolate display cases. Another group plays Rock Band in the corner. The walls are pink and the chairs zebra-striped. The smell of chocolate is thick, and every single person in the café is smiling. What's going on here? I'm...
