The best hot chocolate in Toronto is really a matter of taste. Do you prefer the ancient style of chocolate beverage, created by the Mayans over 2000 years ago, also known as drinking chocolate, or are you accustomed to the thinner, sweeter North American hot cocoa, that has its own nostalgic ice rink charm? The big difference is whether the cocoa butter has been removed (as in powdered cocoa) or remains (as in made with bar chocolate or ganache). The richness is produced by either the mouth feel of the cocoa butter, or by additions of sugar or milk.
In Toronto we are spoiled for choice, the options running the gamut, from thick, syrupy and spiced, bittersweet to achingly sugary, to aerated and frothed with water, or laden with milk and whipped cream. Whatever your preference, you'll find one to suit your fancy.
Here is our list of the best hot chocolate in Toronto.
