Cocoandré Coffee, Chocolate & Horchata · Bishop Arts
This Bishop Arts chocolatier's signature Mexican hot chocolate has a creamy chocolate base with a hint of cinnamon for a surprise kick, and it can be made with a vegan milk alternative without losing richness. Its chocolate bombs let you build your own cup at home, in flavors from white chocolate to vegan dark chocolate. Order the Mexican hot chocolate.
Chocolate Secrets · Oak Lawn
This Oak Lawn chocolate shop and wine bar has poured hot cocoa for close to twenty years, per the Dallas Observer, with chocolatiers from seven different countries behind the flavor list. Both outlets name dark chocolate, English toffee, white chocolate peppermint and Mexican spice as the options, and the Observer calls the dark chocolate rich and velvety with hints of bitterness from the shop's own house-made chocolate. Order the Mexican spice swirled with whipped cream, the Observer's own suggestion.
Dude, Sweet Chocolate · Bishop Arts
PaperCity and the Dallas Observer both point past this Bishop Arts shop's famous truffles to its drinking chocolate: a thick elixir the Observer says is made with Valrhona cocoa, ground Ecuadorian dark chocolate, cane sugar, sea salt and a touch of milk powder. PaperCity notes a twenty-dollar jar makes four to six cups to prepare at home. Order the drinking chocolate rather than the truffle case alone, the detail both outlets return to.
