Split
Bean Coffee’s Decadent Treats |
Pronounced al-fa-ho-res, these addictive shortbread cookies
are handmade the day you order and sandwich a dollop of rich Dulce de
Leche, raspberry, guava, or peanut butter. For the chocoholic, they
also come dipped in either dark, milk or white chocolate and can be
ordered in a variety pack for a truly indulgent sampling. At the Split
Bean, where Roger and Paul concoct their magic, you can also find a
variety of outstanding Nicaraguan and Latin American coffees and artisan
chocolates and truffles like the signature Caliente Chili Truffle.
