It is hard to find anyone who strongly dislikes hot chocolate; however, it is a hit and miss commodity, some Café’s
and restaurants make it perfectly, for others, it tastes like instant stuff you can make at home.
So if you are going to pay for it, it might as well be good and it can be a fun adventure or treat after errands for kids
and parents alike, which is why we created our Top 5 Hot Chocolate Spots in London.
1. Theobroma Cacao (43 Turnham Green Terrace, Chiswick, London, W4 1RG, ): Yummy hot chocolate and a
free truffle with every cup, one of our 8 year old testers said he thought it was the “best hot chocolate [he has had]
EVER”
2. William Curley (198 Ebury Street, London SW1W 8UN): Winner of the Best UK Chocolatier Award, it would
be just plain wrong for them not to have fabulous hot chocolate, lukily, they do and it is absolute luxury with one
part chocolate and five parts creamy milk.
3. Paul Young (33 Camden Passage, Islington, London N1 8EA): A British Chocolatier carrying ‘Paul A Young’s
Hot Chocolate Rocks’, made with water instead of milk and the percentage of chocolate included in the drink changes
depending on the weather, on a cold day, you can get 70% chocolate which is a rich and decadent, while in the summer
a 64% might be used for a lighter taste.
4. Apostrophe (19 Baker Street, London, W1U 8EQ): Known for the thickest hot chocolate in town, this chain cafe has got
it right. Their hot chocolate is so thick that you and the kiddies will need a spoon to drink it!
5. Melt (59 Ledbury Rd, London W11 2AA): Hot chocolate served in tiny cups with a sweet and sticky texture, you can also
buy the hot chocolate in blocks to take home and melt for hot chocolate treats at home (way better than powdered hot
chocolate!)
