Which biz will best satisfy the insatiable cravings of Cobble Hill residents? In one corner we have Sweet Melissa, which, per A Brooklyn Life, is expanding its operations on Court near Butler to include the next-door storefront. The new space (top photo), which is supposed to open in the next month, will serve beer and the backyard garden will run the length of both buildings. In the other corner—and directly across the street—we have a young upstart in the neighborhood, The Chocolate Room. The Room’s second location after Park Slope has been on tap for a long time now, but serious construction is finally getting under way inside the space (bottom photo). According to the contractor on the job, Chocolate Room’s owner is hoping to have it up and running within the next few weeks. Sugar rush to the finish line on these two, it seems.
