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.
