Getting a little tired of drinking coffee and want something just as flavourful to replace your daily cuppa? We’ve got you covered. This list of chocolate drinks will get you warmed up on a rainy day or beat the heat under the sweltering sun; rain or shine, these chocolate drinks will be sure to delight your tastebuds.

Here’s a list of 10 best hot chocolates in Singapore that are choc(ked) full of chocolate!

#1 ANGELINA

At Angelina, a staple is their “L’Africain” (S$12), their signature hot chocolate beverage – made with cocoa from three African origins – Cote d’Ivoir, Ghana and Niger. It’s served in a small pitcher and comes with a side of fluffy whipped cream.

This is the kind of hot chocolate that you sip slowly, savouring that thick, almost ganache-like texture of hot chocolate. The drink itself has a slightly fruity aftertaste – a note that is common to African-origin chocolates.

#3 BEARDED BELLA

Single-origin coffee is now well-known in Singapore, but try out Bearded Bella’s single-origin hot or iced chocolates. They offer a 72% dark chocolate from the Dominican Republic and an 80% dark chocolate from Ecuador (S$6 for Hot/7.50 for iced).

The Ecuadorian hot chocolate tasted more well-balanced while the Dominican Republic had a fruity note to it.

#4 THE DARK GALLERY

Dedicated to all things Chocolate, the Dark Gallery truly has an impressive line-up of chocolate desserts and drinks. Made from well-know French Varlhona chocolate, their Signature Hot Chocolate (S$7) is a velvety smooth cup that will definitely warm you up on a rainy day.

They also serve cold chocolate drinks like their popular Chocolate Cube Hazelnut Latte (S$9). It comes served with chocolate ice cubes, hot milk and a hazelnut flavoured espresso to pour over. The nuttiness from the hazelnut complements the bitterness of the espresso and creaminess of the chocolate.

It’s something to try if you are looking to try a different kind of hot chocolate.

Craig Road is a bustling street filled with established dining concepts and its dynamic food scene is a reason why it is such a popular foodie destination. Joining the long list of restaurants and cafes is a new F&B initiative that opened in February this year—Bearded Bella.

Inspired by Melbourne’s cafe culture, Bearded Bella is a contemporary Australian-style cafe started by a pair of individuals who are passionate about creating the perfect gastronomic experience by coupling great food with excellent coffee brews.

Currently still in soft launch, keep your eyes peeled for their official opening as they will be introducing a wider range of brunch and dinner food items on the menu. For now, here is what you can expect at Bearded Bella.

With its spacious table arrangement, high ceiling and muted colour tones, Bearded Bella is designed with a glass rooftop where natural sunlight can filter in; the light-filled cafe offers a soothing ambience where guests are encouraged to linger on with a cuppa or two.

At Bearded Bella, guests must not skip their signature caffeine beverages as the owners themselves are well-trained when it comes to coffee making techniques, having worked at Strangers Reunion and other F&B establishments for many years before opening up their own place.

The cafe sources its coffee beans from Ethiopia and you will find the usual suspects such as Espresso (Single/Double), Black and White. Their Cappuccino will please both serious coffee drinkers and those who are just looking for something to perk them up—medium-bodied with a fragrant aroma, carrying a harmonious balance of espresso, milk and frothed milk.

A scrumptious selection of mains and small plates lead the lunch menu and it goes beyond what you would expect at a standard cafe. The Bearded Eggs, for example, was a gorgeous dish served with slow-cooked pork jowls on toasted baguette.

While we enjoyed the crispy pork jowls with tangy pickled daikon, what caught our attention was the beautifully executed poached eggs which was complemented with a generous portion of minty green hollandaise sauce. Cut the eggs right down in the middle for that Instagram-worthy Boomerang shot!

Other items on the menu worth mentioning include the Smashed Avocado, Dill Cured Salmon and Pulled Brisket Sliders. For those who are looking for something to share, there are also small plates such as Charred Brussels Sprouts and Lamb Ribs.

Although prices on the menu are not fixed yet, Bearded Bella is slated to open officially in the upcoming week so do drop by the cafe for coffee and brunch if you happen to be around the area.
