Zocalo // 10826 95 St
Zocalo is one of the coolest spots in the city. I highly suggest you pay this place a visit! It's a flower shop that also has a cafe. Their hot chocolate is divine, and can be enjoyed as you're surrounded by the most beautiful backdrop of plants and flowers.

This is quite literally what every hot chocolate-lovers dreams are made of. If they aren't currently making this drink on site, you can purchase their "Haute Chocolate" mix. And feel free to buy their delicious chocolates to go along with your chocolatey beverage as well! Because you really can't have too much chocolate (my doctor may disagree, but my tastebuds are all for it).
Duchess Bake Shop // 10718 124 St NW
Duchess Bake Shop seems like they can do no wrong. And their hot chocolate is yet another testament to why this place is so great! You've got to try it.

Da Capo Caffe// 8135 102 St NW #104
The only problem you'll have here is deciding whether to get the Dutch Hot Chocolate or the Italian Hot Chocolate. I'd go for both. Seriously though. Their hot chocolates will not disappoint.
The Woodrack Cafe // 7603 109 St NW #101
Their hot chocolates are so good. Especially when paired with a whoopie pie or one of their delicious cookies. You've gotta try it out for yourself.
