I love chocolate…but I’m mildly allergic to it, I still eat it, but sparingly.
I may have mentioned this before, but did find a partial workaround, though. I bought some ToranI coffee syrup, and it’s a remarkable substitute for chocolate syrup. I’ve mostly had it on ice cream, but I bet a “coffee” milk would be similarly enjoyable.

Chocolate overtones are relatively common in coffee--which I'm sure you know, as I know you have a relative (father, IIRC) who's serious about his coffee.
i was originally going to have him make some coffee and I’d blend it with simple syrup, but when I found the Torani, I didn’t see any point in reinventing the meal.
They’ve been open for about 3 years, in a strip mall very close to where my father’s second office used to be. It’s not big, I’d say fewer than a dozen tables total- it would fit in most American fast food chain locations with room to spare.
The menu isn’t big, either, but it’s a nice selection nonetheless. Because we were eating in the car and only wanted a light snack, I got us two drinks, an order of their rice-stuffed grape leaves, and a chicken shawarma wrap (cut in half) with fries.
Their fries were nearly perfect. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Mom’s only complaint was not enough salt, but I thought they were fine. The wraps were tasty and slightly messy, as they should be. The stuffed grape leaves were served hot with a thick citrus & olive oil sauce similar to greek avgolemono and some nice pickles & tomatoes.
The guy working the register was waaaaaay cool, and it was obvious the staff was keeping that place as clean as possible.
Even though Mom wasn’t too happy with the grape leaves- she prefers meaty ones, which are relatively rare around here- she thought this place was good enough to make a return to at some future point.
