Comforting Cocoa across Calgary

5 of the best hot chocolate shopsCalgary (Feb.10.12)

Give winter the cold shoulder and cozy up with a steaming cup of cocoa at one of these delicious destinations. Some of these sinful shops are participating in YYC Hot Chocolate Fest, donating profits from their signature hot chocolates to Meals on Wheels.

Epiphany
Best known for its artisanal chocolates, this chocolatier also whips up four kinds of decadent chocolate drinks ($6), including a hot fudge smoothie, for warmer Chinook days.
1417 11 St., S.W.; www.epiphaniechocolate.com

CoCoCo
Take a break from shopping and order a round ($1.50-$4.95), before treating the gang to a few famed Bernard Callebaut chocolates to savour later.

Phil & Sebastian
Double the fun and dip a Manuel Latruwe chocolate croissant into your frothy mug of chocolatey goodness ($3.35-$4.40). Mom can latte it up or simply soak in the atmosphere of Calgary’s coolest coffee shop.

Choklot
The only chocolatier in Western Canada that makes their own chocolate, offers undeniable quality and exotic add-ins such as Chinese 5 spice powder, cloves and cinnamon. Worth the calories is OMG, 100% cocoa blended with warm milk and sugar ($6.30-$7.30).
1327 9 Ave., S.E.; www.sochoklat.com

Boxwood Cafe
River Cafe’s more casual outpost, melts chunks of chocolate into fresh cream stovetop, producing an indulgent treat ($4) best enjoyed alongside Fairtrade raspberry brownies ($5) or homemade cookies ($3).
