Bullish on the Moose

The coffeehouse is dead. Long live Chocolate Moose Café (9118 State Rd. 84, Davie, 954-474-5040), where you can get a rich cuppa brew to sip while you listen to live bands. Just don't assume you'll find chocolate mousse here; the real mascot is the "white cow" -- a heavenly concoction...

The coffeehouse is dead. Long live Chocolate Moose Café (9118 State Rd. 84, Davie, 954-474-5040), where you can get a rich cuppa brew to sip while you listen to live bands. Just don't assume you'll find chocolate mousse here; the real mascot is the "white cow" -- a heavenly concoction of espresso, white chocolate, vanilla, and whipped cream. A café menu, assortment of microbrew beers, and a rather limited wine list round out the oral offerings. As far as the aural stuff goes, the Moose has a different activity every night, ranging from karaoke to open mic to "psychic encounters." Leave your skepticism, along with your hopes for a caffeine-free night's sleep, at home.
