Don’t let the posh exterior fool you, Fran’s Chocolates is rather warm on the inside. When you step in, you’re going to want to leave with a bag full of their dessert sauces and salted caramels. While they’re both good options, don’t skip out on the star of the show: hot chocolate. We suggest that you stick to their classic dark hot chocolate with 68% cacao.

Bedlam coffee is the spot for toast, pies, and of course, hot chocolate. The spot serves up a variety of mochas and coffee-less takes on their specialties, such as the cherry bomb. Although it’s a mocha rather than a hot chocolate, we’ve gotta go out of our way to suggest the lavender mocha.
