"I'd like some pain in my coffee please"



My most recent favorite coffee drink.  I first saw it at the E Street Cafe in Encinitas, CA.  There it's known as a Chuao Mocha or a Spicy Mayan Hot Chocolate.  I just rediscovered it at Mugshots Cafe in Philly's Fairmount district, right across from the infamous Eastern State Penitentiary.  A little espresso, cocoa, some cayanne(or chili) pepper, cinnamon, and a dash of masochism in a cup, invoking thoughtful and reverent stares at the penitentiary just a few feet away~
