Coffee and tea get lots of love, but you know what sometimes hits the spot even more? A steaming cup of hot chocolate. Here are three local places you can get one today:

  • The Hot Chocolatier | With a dozen flavors to choose from, you really can’t go wrong here. They have the OG (Original Hot Chocolate), of course, but we recommend trying the Squirrel — a hazelnut-and-caramel favorite. Pro tip: If you’re not a hot-drink person, you can get any flavor frozen. The Hot Chocolatier has two locations: downtown and St. Elmo.
  • Rembrandt’s Coffee House | It may be known for its coffee and sandwiches, but don’t sleep on its hot chocolate. It’s described as rich and creamy just the way it comes — but if you’re feeling bold, add one of their house-made syrups to spice it up.
  • Niedlov’s Bakery & Cafe | This picture-perfect hot chocolate will definitely warm you up on a cold day. Not a fan of dairy? You can customize your cup with a milk alternative and add flavors like vanilla, caramel, or honey lavender.
