Where to buy good hot chocolate?

[Tasscrapper]

I'm wondering where in both parks has GOOD hot chocolate? I've had it from Coke Corner and really liked it. I've also had it from a food cart by the bridge to Paradise Pier while waiting for World of Color. It was so watered down it was like tasting weird water . . . gross. We'll be back soon and I really want to avoid nasty cocoa.

I had the hot chocolate at the Ghirardelli in DCA and liked that. The Starbucks sites (Market House in DL and Fiddler, Fifer and Practical Cafe in DCA) also sell their typical hot chocolate which I'm not a huge fan of but think is ok.

We love the hot chocolate at La Brea Bakery at Downtown Disney.

The most AMAZING hot chocolate?...you can order it off the dessert menu in the lounge at Napa Rose during the winter season.

Ghirardelli in DCA is a strong second.

The one in the Frozen Fun area was pretty good.

The Viva Navidad holiday overlay in Paradise Pier has Abuelita Hot Cocoa, a thick Mexican Hot Chocolate -- YUM.

I had a great one in the lobby of the grand californian but I dunno if it is there all the time or if the stand was only there for Christmas. They had adult hot chocolates as well

Trader Sams, heads down, I meant hands down, has hot chocolate to die for! It is served in a mini Huna man mug. Another style of a mug they have too. It's Tiki themed, with snakes slithering about, and up and down the sides of the mug. Then, there is a zombie themed mug, that well you guessed it, has zombies on it. Quite gory really, and super awesome!
All hot cocoa is made with organic, 2% milk, which all comes from dairies whose cows are happy, because they live in sunny California and graze on nice green grass. Anyway, the cocoa is Drostes brand. It is delicious. All hot chocolate comes with a really cool marshmallow option. Shrunken heads or piranhas. Coming soon, mini marshmallow zombies.
Don't forget to ask for real whipped cream. Comes from the same happy dairies. Enjoy!

Yeah, THE BEST would be Napa Rose. I don't think anything else can compare. But there has to be something like a 1000 calories in just one tiny cup of it, I swear they make it with pure cream!

Ghirardelli in DCA

Here


Just wish they served soy, since I no long can do dairy.

Pure cream you say? lol

Seems more like 95% dark chocolate and 5% cream. It's really, really thick. It's as if they used espresso brewing techniques, but instead of coffee and water, they used cacao and cream. I think they even call it "The Best Hot Chocolate in the Whole World" or something like that--and they might be right Hmm.. wish I had some right now
