The remnants of winter increasingly appear through the window of autumn, which has already entered fully into the capital of the United Kingdom. The cold, the wind and the rain make their appearance practically day and day also. But, as the saying goes, there is no harm that does not come good. In addition to bringing out the most ‘fashion’ of our wardrobe and enjoy the touch of our favourite scarves, we can also give ourselves small pleasures that are only allowed in times when the sun and heat are scarce.
Pleasures like what? You will think … As well as sitting in a cafeteria to enjoy a large cup of hot chocolate while, through a window, you see how the world revolves around you. Regardless of what the experts say, the reality is that this rich beverage accompanied by your favourite candy is a whim that makes you happier for a few moments. And in the end, life is for that, right? We recommend five places in London where you can get the best hot chocolate and enjoy it by taking a walk, sitting in a park or behind a counter to see people go by.
Chin Dessert Club:
In the heart of Soho, this ice cream shop offers one of the best desserts in the city. Although the mix of hot chocolate and marshmallow is nothing new, in this place they have upped the ante in a bizarre way. The cup is full of a giant cream that is heated in a bonfire that turns the texture into an incredible dish that will make your mouth water.
Konditor & Cook:
Do not be fooled by the milk cartons used to store chocolate in the Konditor pastry shop. The recipe is made every day in a different place. With a very complex flavour, not thick and visibly luxurious, the brew contains a double cream, whole milk, vanilla pods and two types of chocolate. Nothing more to add. Here you can enjoy delicious and mouth-watering hot chocolate.
Haberdashery:
In the cosy cafeteria of Haberdashery (in Crouch End you can find one), all visits should include a hot chocolate, made with white chocolate or milk from the Dolomites. For 2.75 pounds, you can enjoy a large bowl. It is one of the most welcoming places in the city, adorned with pennants and equipped with beautiful tea sets.
Rococo:
The cup to take away is the best option in this place of the luxurious barium of Belgravia. With cinnamon and anise, the charms of this hot chocolate will seduce you in its small store of Seven Dials. You can also take a seat and try to resist the temptation of the incredible sweets that are on the counter: lobsters and chocolate crocs. Magic for young people and a great kick of nostalgia for adults.
The organic chocolate flakes of this chocolate shop have been awarded for two years followed by the Academy of Chocolate. You can be the judge yourself by trying a shot of chocolate or one of its varieties with sea salt and spices.
William Curley:
In addition to having a dedicated chocolate bar at its Belgravia branch, this award-winning chocolatier serves hot chocolate, both in Belgravia and Richmond boutiques. The drink is made of 70% Amedei Toscano chocolate, and you can order it alone or with combinations of chili and hazelnut varieties. It’s delicious ‘Mayan spices’ blend has flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. All hot chocolates have a cost of £ 3.
Ruby Violet:
It’s the concept we always have in our heads: a lovely little room with porcelain cups, round tables and short drinks and hot drinks. The thick chocolate – delicious, of course – is made with Callebaut and is served in small vintage trays. This ice cream parlour is in Kentish Town and King Cross and has a long history behind it.
Cocomaya:
This chocolate shop sells only the classic version without any other added flavour, made of pure melted chocolate. They have a cost of £ 2.60- £ 3.40 in the premises, and the prices vary when they are ordered at home.
