The Best Hot Chocolate in Sydney for When You Need a Little Treat

There is something incredibly cosy and nostalgic about a hot chocolate. More than any other drink, it gives 'little treat' energy and on a cold winter's commute, that's exactly what we need. Take a few minutes out of your busy day, tuck up with a good book and warm up from the inside out. 

Whether you prefer your hot choccies fancy and flavoured or classic and thick, we've got the bevvy for you.  Read on for our edit of the best hot chocolates in Sydney...

Adora 

Adora serves up the city's best hot chocolate on tap (not a figure of speech!). Velvety smooth, you can opt to get your chocolate mixed with any milk and even opt for a dark chocolate vegan option should you fancy. We recommend snagging some of their hot-chocolate-in-a-stick packs to takeaway to satisfy your cravings of an evening.

Rivareno 

Creators of impeccable gelato, Rivareno aren't just a one-trick pony. This winter they're serving up two divine hot choccys. Choose between the cremino hot chocolate which involves your choice of gelato drowned in creamy white chocolate and hazelnut hot chocolate with swirls of gianduia, or go for the classic rich Italian which consists of your choice of gelato doused in a shot of thick Rivareno hot chocolate. Both exceptional.

T Totaler 

If you're stuck between ordering a tea and hot choccy you can now consider yourself unstuck. T Totaler's Earl Grey hot chocolate is the treatiest of treats as it comes topped with rose pashmak and petals. Plus, located just above Town Hall Station in The Galleries, it's easy to grab for your commute!

San Churro 

Sometimes life calls for a San Churro classic Spanish thick hot chocolate. When it does, your best to answer it as nothing else will suffice. For the thickest hot choccy in town, this is the one. It tastes almost as though condensed milk has had a part in things and that, friends, we are not mad about. It's so thick, in fact, that it'd be rude not to dip a churro in...

Koko Black 

Churning out some of the best choccies in the country, it's only natural that Koko Black make a mean hot chocolate, too. Whilst not all their store locations boast a Koko Lounge a fair few do and you can scout the closest to you here. They brew their signature hot choccy for two hours and it is everything you want from a hot beverage - smooth, creamy, velvety and decadent.
