With the steady stream of hot chocolate pop-up shops springing up around town, I think it’s safe to say that hot chocolate is officially a thing. But as far as I’m concerned, hot chocolate has always – and forever will be – a thing in the winter time. I can’t say that I enjoy any other hot drink (i.e. tea, apple cider etc) more than I love a warm mug of hot cocoa (baileys and marshmallows included).

Fortunately for us, Boston is truly a place for hot cocoa lovers and to prove it, we’ve listed just a few of the best spots in Boston to cozy up with a mug of the good stuff. Baileys optional, of course. Let us know your favorite place in Boston to get your hot chocolate fix in the comments below.
