The Best Hot Chocolate in LA

Dec 30, 2014 ·

Best-Hot-Chocolate-In-LA

Tomorrow evening might be all about the champagne, but today we're discussing the all-important subject of hot chocolate.  Do you remember having hot chocolate as a kid?  I have vivid memories of opening up a package of Swiss Miss this time of year and settling in front of Frosty the Snowman or another equally festive flick.  It was an extra special treat and perhaps it was this sense of nostalgia that had me ordering up warm cocoa all over town this last month.  Since I've done my due diligence, I figured it only fair that I share my findings.  Looking for a coffee alternative?  Here are the best spots for hot chocolate in Los Angeles!  (Have favorite spots in your city?  Do share!)

1. Short Cake - Made with the same chunks of chocolate as the bakery's choco chip cookies (which are to-die-for!)
