Cold weather plus holiday decor puts a craving for hot chocolate in our brains, but, only if it truly hits the spot. Which, sometimes, it just isn’t it. We’ve done our due diligence so you can trust that when we say these are THE hot chocolates you should be craving, we aren’t lying.
Do yourself a favour and make sure to go try these out:
Angelina Paris Bryant Park
Some may say this is an overrated spot but we believe Angelina’s L’Africain hot chocolate is the definition of indulgence. Thick, velvety, and made with a blend of premium cocoa, it’s a rich, warming treat that’s as satisfying as it is simple. Topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, this classic drink is a must-try for anyone craving a true taste of Paris in the heart of NYC.

Glace NY
Glacé by Noglu’s marshmallow hot chocolate has gone viral for its looks, but the taste is what really stands out. Fair warning, it’s a bit messy, so maybe not the best choice if you have little ones with you, but it’s a fun and tasty twist on a classic.
Location: 1260 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10128
Rubyzaar Baked
Rubyzaar’s viral hot chocolate takes comfort to the next level. A smooth, rich cocoa base is topped with a toasted marshmallow, graham cracker crumble, and a touch of chocolate drizzle—bringing the nostalgic taste of s’mores right to your cup.
Location: Union Square Holiday Market in Union Square Park, E 14th St, New York, NY
Rigor Hill Market
Rigor Hill Market’s seasonal hot chocolate is a comforting classic. Made from a blend of milk, cocoa powder, and sugar, it’s topped with a generous, toasted marshmallow reminiscent of the City Bakery’s version. This indulgent treat is perfect for warming up during the colder months.
Location: 227 W Broadway, New York, NY 10013
