If your sweet tooth is really starting to bother you, bring it over to Vkusnye Shtuchki (Yummy Things). Aside from rich and creamy cakes, this cozy little confectionary has an extraordinary selection of hot chocolate (not hot cocoa, but real, gooey and thick chocolate that you eat with a spoon) made of cocoa beans from faraway countries like Ecuador, Haiti Grand’anse, Grenada and Papua New Guinea. If it’s starting to feel like summer outside, try one of their amazing signature ice creams or sorbets that are made of organic ingredients in the shop. For that perfect, non-cliché souvenir from Russia, pick up a bar of Verhoff chocolate, a Russian chocolatier that can give its Swiss rivals a good run for their money.
