I once ordered a chocolate cappuccino and the kid looked at me and said, "We don't have chocolate." He asked around a bit and looked over the list, then said,"We have mocha though.". *slap*

Actually, mocha is one of the oldest coffees and comes from Yemen. It's not chocolate.

Addendum: It came from Al-Makha, Yemen. Since it naturally has chocolate tones, people in Europe in the 17th century when coffee houses were becoming popular heard "Al Makha" and called it mocha.
