First Impressions
Table Of Contents
The Tulip Cafe is found in the Hollander Chocolate World Headquarters in Port Washington, WI. Hollander Chocolate was established back in 2015 as a specialty chocolate-sauce and powder company focused on premium chocolate products. They concentrate on the following categories: Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate and Pumpkin Pie; which can be ordered on a number of ice cream dishes, coffee and non-coffee beverages.
Hollander brought the Tulip Cafe into existence as a way to get the public more intimately involved with their brand, to sample their chocolate and to showcase new products and experiences. Thus, all of their drinks take a chocolate-forward approach!
Atmosphere & Experience
The interior showcases a premium, high-class environment that matches the quality of their beverage, ice cream and food options.
There are lots of woods and mellow colors, with bold accents of red, greenery and industrial lighting. I really like how they incorporated neon into the design as well!
They even have an upstairs balcony (ADA Compliant, with an elevator) allowing customers to sit, read and socialize in style. There’s a few comfy leather seats, intimate table settings for one or two people to read or study!
The staff were friendly and very accommodating of my allergies!
My one gripe is that their prices are pretty high. Eight dollars for a latte is pretty steep, let alone that for a medium one. I’m not sure how often I’d come here to sit and work, but if they released a specific offering that I wanted to try, I could see occasionally stopping by!
Austin’s Choice
Having tried a few of their offerings now, I think I’m at a tie between their Eggnog Latte and their Adventure Latte (pictured below). The Adventure latte is brought to the area by Discourse! It’s a unique lemon, berry and oat milk mixture that has some sort of “fire” to it (unsure if it’s cinnamon or pepper). The oat milk is added to prevent the drink from curdling. If you’re having writer’s block, I think this drink will perk you up! 🙂
