Contrary to popular belief, there is no season for hot chocolate, just like there’s no season for hugs and happiness. Hot chocolate, on a cold or rainy day, is absolutely heavenly. While authentic hot chocolate is supposed to be rich melted chocolate with just enough milk to keep it smooth, these 6 places in Gurgaon add a special something to offset that sweetness.
P.S. The prices quoted below are for small portions, and additional charges may apply for different flavours.
Chokola, as you would expect, has a range of hot chocolates. Apart from the Classic Milk Hot Chocolate, they offer a Classic Dark and White Vanilla Hot Chocolate. If that’s too basic, they also do hot chocolate in cinnamon, coffee and hazelnut flavours. If you like fruity flavours, we’d recommend you try their novel combination of White Chocolate and Mango.

This garden cafe may not have the widest variety of hot chocolate but it has the one thing that everyone loves – Nutella. And solely for this reason, Roots is on this list.
