Best hot chocolate in Canberra?

In the hope that it’s like what Pangea’s used to make before they closed, I’m going to try that out. I used to take people there and buy it for them just so that they could experience that sort of hot chocolate.

Peppermint patty – hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint schnapps. You can have both the alcohol and the marshmallows!

Koko Black is too rich for my liking. Max Brenner isn’t rich enough. (Why is it so hard for chocolatiers to make fantastic hot chocolate?)

Get a Max Brenner and mix with a koko black! Problem solved.

MB has many types of hot chocolate from recollection. Chocolate goes well with anything, dont mind a bit mixed in with a nice coffee!

Koko Black is lovely, but generally I feel like I can see through time while drinking it. (Mixture of melted chocolate, milk, and cream, optional chili.)

Cream does a nice chocolate-in-hot-milk and you can choose the type of chocolate. I like top deck.

Haven’t tried Max Brenner’s hot chocolate because I was so disappointed by the bad service and ghastly coffee I had there. So bad I formally complained, and their service people sent me a voucher – the other half refused to go again and I had trouble finding someone willing to take it as a gift!

I am partial to the chilli hot chocolate at Koko Black.

Cognac is the best hot chocolate. It is healthier too, as no marshmallows are required, and it comes in the size you want.

Max Brenner, Belconnen.

And usually great marshmellows – the marshmallow can make or break a hot chocolate

Hear, Hear! If someone can point me in the direction of a beverage establishment that makes their own, fresh marshmallows (and doesn’t just open another bag of pascall’s finest) – I should be glad to give them my service! (as long as the HotChoc doesn’t suck)…

Beppes and Knead in the Belco Markets both make delicious HCs.

For a decent and reasonably priced hot chocolate that’s not too overwhelming, the CMAG cafe’s good.

Milk and Honey used to make a good hot chocolate (with real chocolate). But it’s been a while, so it might’ve changed…

Waldorf can make a good powder hot chocolate, but often stuff it up with too much syrup or not enough powder. (And usually great marshmellows – the marshmallow can make or break a hot chocolate)

Another favourite was Gus’ for their peppermint hot chocolate, but every time I’ve been in there in the past six months they’ve had no peppermint.

Koko Black for creamy and smooth.

Tosolini’s for traditional Italian and very thick.

The Urban Pantry method is quite good too.

Yes, you can get coffee in different size containers why not hot chocolate?!

Best one I’ve had was at Lonsdale St Roasters
