CityBeat's roundup finds this Oakley cafe updating the powdered hot chocolate of childhood: milk from Snowville Creamery mixed with a cocoa powder made especially for the cafe by local roaster Coffee Break, producing a cup the write-up calls frothy and delicious without going as far as melting a chocolate bar. Patrons can add one of chef Francis Kroner's homemade honey marshmallows, which CityBeat says leaves a sticky film on the lips with every sip. Order it with the honey marshmallow rather than plain, since that add-on is what the write-up singles out.
