Walk through Parnell’s rose gardens for a family catch-up, then pop over to the homely comfort of Rosie. If we can pass on any advice: Don’t look past the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate.

Once you’ve taken your Instagram and started combining the creation, it’ll be gone in moments – It’s just that good.
Masterchef judges may hate the word “deconstructed”, but when it comes to a hot chocolate, there is nothing better. Choose between Winona Forever’s dark chocolate, dark chocolate orange, white chocolate coconut, or peanut butter, and you will receive your chocolate of choice on a stick, steamed milk, and homemade pillowy-marshmallows of joy. Grab a famous Winona slice from the cabinet to accompany your delicious choccy goodness and you’ll be wishing you had your slippers on by the fire.
Looking for a rich chocolate hit? House of Chocolate stays true to its name through and through.

This little bakery on K Road is the perfect spot for a quick catch up in your lunch break or on your way to the Pink Walk in the weekend. Named after their signature creation, a Piefee! Confused as to what a Piefee is? Think a cookie cup with a toffee and chocolate inner layer to cradle your coffee or hot chocolate. Drink some, eat some, it is the perfect sweet (and environmentally friendly) option. Choose from a bunch of cookie cup flavours such as sprinkles, Oreo, or Belgium biscuit.
For every chocolate flavour in every form – Chocolate Boutique has it. If you’re looking for an authentic hot chocolate to really hit the spot, don’t look past the Italian denso.

Add a flavour shot like vanilla or hazelnut or grab the Mexican spice or chilli versions if you are looking for that extra kick. Other options include their black forest, hot jaffa, chocolate malt, caramel, spiced maple, and a special diabetic-friendly hot chocolate.
