The 5 Best Places For Hot Chocolate In Park Slope

Now that you’ve shoveled your sidewalk, bought a sled, and took a ride down a hill in Prospect Park, there’s one more important item on any first-rate snow day checklist: hot chocolate! Here are some of our favorite places to grab a rich, warm mug of chocolatey goodness:

Snowdays Cafe, 214 Flatbush Avenue: Perfect timing for this cafe that just opened last Sunday! Come for their specialty hot chocolates and stay for the shaved cream, Intelligentsia coffee, matcha brownies, and Asian-inspired signature desserts.

The Chocolate Room, 51 5th Avenue: Though this is one rich cup of hot chocolate, unlike some others, it’s not so heavy that you take a couple sips and need a break — it’s drinkable to the last drop. (We tasted their rich hot chocolate at their old location down the block.)

Nunu Chocolates, 179 5th Avenue: Nunu made some ‘Top Hot Chocolate in NYC’ lists for its signature smooth and not-too-sweet cup. Check out some other high-ticket chocolate items here.

Cocoa Bar, 228 7th Avenue: If you’re coming from the 3rd Street entrance of Prospect Park after sledding, this is a good place to warm up — there’s spacious seating in the back, and they have a hot chocolate for any taste, from dark chocolate to “funky monkey” banana, though we’re partial to the spicy version.

Colson Patisserie, 374 9th Street: A more grown-up hot chocolate, this one is not particularly sweet, but we’ve found it’s the perfect one to use for dunking one of their fluffy, sweet brioche rolls.
