A new cafe in the heart of Hershey is playing off the town’s sweet history.

Cafe aMusee opened this week at The Hershey Story at 63 W. Chocolate Ave. with dessert pizzas, hot chocolate bombs and syringes filled with warm chocolate ganache.

“We’re in Hershey. This is a town founded on milk chocolate and Milton Hershey,” said Angela Megoulas, Café aMusée co-owner.

The cafe slides into the former Pantry Cafe and is designed to appeal to tourists and local residents. Megoulas and partner Irene Gekas, who also operate Gourmet Grille and Gyro.GRK at Hersheypark, envision a community atmosphere with outdoor dining, catering and pop-up events.

The cafe highlights breakfast and lunch and introduces central Pennsylvania to La Colombe Coffee Roasters. La Colombe is headquartered in Philadelphia and operates cafes in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Diners can order La Colombe’s popular draft latte and cold brew, as well as “Black and Tan,” a combination of the two draft coffee beverages.

“We just love it. We’re addicts,” Megoulas said.

Otherwise, breakfast items cover baked oats, lox and bagels, cinnamon roll skillets and avocado toast, while lunch extends to Wagyu beef burgers, Croque Monsieur, turkey sandwiches, grilled salmon sandwiches and tahini cauliflower bowls.

Hot chocolate bombs and chocolate-filled syringes are made in the museum’s Chocolate Lab. The syringes pair with fresh strawberries and cream or the cafe’s dessert pizzas, inspired by the owner’s trips to Max Brenner, a chocolate bar in New York City.

For those who can’t resist injecting the syringes directly into their mouths, that’s perfectly acceptable.

“That’s what it’s known for - just a shot of chocolate,” Gekas said.

Daily specials and homemade soups round out the offerings along with pastries and breads delivered daily from Philadelphia bakeries. Admission to the museum is not required to dine in the restaurant.

The cafe’s hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., daily. Online ordering is available through Cafe aMusee’s website. Phone is 717-508-1729.
