At this chocolate cafe, the selection of hot chocolates available are purely made out of rich, thick molten chocolate with some flavour additions and nuts. Their Dark Chocolate is just that: pure, dark chocolate. Other combinations include dark chocolate with almonds (roasted and caramelised), cashews, and cranberries. Caramelised hazelnuts and almonds pair up with white chocolate to create other sinful, hot combinations. What's also interesting is something called the Hot Chocolate Dip -- bars of hot chocolate (yes!) that you can order in boxes of 4 or 8 to make your hot chocolate at home!

These hot chocolates can also be picked up curbside or as a takeaway through Dunzo or Swiggy Genie or ordered in through Zomato.

On a day when you don’t feel like guzzling endless cups of their caffeine, try the Signature Hot Chocolate at Starbucks, a combination of four kinds of cocoa and steamed milk, topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with chocolate powder. Starbucks also has a version with white chocolate and milk, and there’s also one for the little tykes with steamed milk infused with mocha-flavoured syrup, and topped with a swirl of sweetened whipped cream. Order-in this delightful concoction through Swiggy because they are delivering! You may or may not like the coffee, but dare we say, the hot chocolate is a must. 

Matteo Coffea

Rich cocoa stirred in with steamed milk, topped with dollops of whipped cream and finally garnished with chocolate shavings – this is what the Hot Cocoa at Matteo Coffea looks like.
