Hot Chocolate Lovers Should Check Out These Places

Hot chocolate is a winter staple; it’s creamy and it keeps you nice and warm during the colder months. While we enjoy our instant hot chocolate packets that are prepared within minutes, there’s nothing quite like a cup of hot chocolate from the bakery or coffee shops. The places on this list aren’t just your classic hot chocolate with marshmallows or whip cream, they have cookie crumbles, meringues, ganaches, and some are even dairy-free!

Bakery Noveau in Seattle, Washington

The ganache in this drink is made from Bakery Nouveau’s bean-to-bar chocolate which makes the drink extra creamy. The cocoa is made from a 68 percent blend with beans from Peru, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Fiji.

Fluff Meringues & More in Austin, Texas

Who doesn’t love spiked hot chocolate? This cinnamon-spiked Mexican recipe finished with vanilla cocoa meringue and a dark chocolate or ginger caramel glaze is a real treat for those who can handle the sweetness. You can even add a toasted marshmallow to make this drink over the top.
