Fact: for at least 4 months of the year, New York has cold weather. We can complain about it or we can get hot chocolate instead! From authentic Mexican to french cocoa powder, Myrtle Avenue has some of the best options in Brooklyn for hot cups of coca. Here’s some of our top spots:
CALYER
If you prefer your cocoa on the sweeter side, seek out this version with high-quality French cocoa powder at Calyer. Their hot chocolate is made with a house-crafted mix and French cocoa powder, plus their very friendly staff will make you feel like at home.

JILL LINDSEY
Jill Linsday’s hot cocoa is probably one of the best hot cholates in the city. Using Anima Mundi Heirloom Cacao, they hand make each cup with all organic ingredients that you can actually experience the real taste of cacao in every sip. They have a variety of milk to serve it, which goes from whole, oat, almond, and fresh oat and almond. The final touch of this amazing hot cholate is that they top them with a hint of cinnamon and a marshmallow!
