I absolutely LOVE hot chocolate! But, I must say I prefer the decadent hot chocolates that are prepared at coffee shops and restaurants. Because they have some sort of magical power that make them taste so much better! So, if you are looking for a spot for your kids (or yourself) to enjoy a hot mug of chocolate goodness, then check out my list of
Top Hot Chocolate Spots In Joburg.
Salvationcafe – Milpark
The only reason I visit Salvationcafe is for their
irresistible hot chocolate! Their Belgian hot chocolate (which is made with REAL Belgian chocolate!) is the perfect way to warm up on those cold winter days. So, sit back and relax with a good book, a cup of their addictive hot chocolate and
melt away those winter blues!

Hot Chocolate Spot: The Whippet – Linden
This is definitely one of my favourite spots when I am looking for a bit of relaxation and a good cup of hot chocolate. It’s
rich and creamy and will hit the spot instantly. Other good chocolate treats to try at this spot are their White Chocolate and their Double Chocolate,
served with espresso!

Motherland Coffee Company – Rosebank
As the name suggests, this spot is the
Motherland of all coffees! And, not only do they have fantastic coffee to warm you up from the inside out, but they also offer
wonderful chocolate options if you’re looking for a treat. They offer divine hot chocolate and white hot chocolate, or the Iced d’Ivoire if it’s a warm day.

Vovo Telo – Pretoria
Nothing goes better with freshly baked bread than a cup of
Belgian hot chocolate! You can also choose from other options like the Chocotelo and the Chocolate Vovochino (with a caffeine kick). If you don't mind the drive, Vovo Telo currently has locations in Pretoria and Hartebeespoort.

Cramers Coffee – Marshalltown
For a quick pick-me-up, Cramers Coffee offers
five chocolate-filled options to warm you up. If you are looking for some caffeine, then their Mocha, Mocha Bianca and Hazelnut Mocha will definitely hit the spot, and best off all, they are rich and delicious! And, for non-coffee drinks try their hot chocolate, white hot chocolate or hazelnut hot chocolate.

website.
Father Coffee – Rosebank and Kramerville
Okay, this spot is strictly a coffee haven, offering everything from ristretto and espresso, macchiato, cappuccino to lattes. They also offer the hot chocolate that seems to scream my name everywhere I go – the
Lindt hot chocolate! Yum!

website.
Paul - Melrose Arch
Made with melted chocolate and cream, Paul's hot chocolate is by far the richest on this list of top hot chocolate spots in Joburg. Served hot and ready for a cold Winter's day, this hot choccie is worth the price tag by far. But, it's an experience that should be sipped instead of the usual gulp. There's a reason why we love Paul's so much!

website.
Walnut Grove – Sandton
If you are looking for some of the
best hot chocolate in Joburg, then this is definitely the spot. I so love their hot chocolate made with Nutella and topped with marshmallows! Or how about giving their Turkish Delight hot chocolate made with Nutella and infused with rose water syrup a try?
