Mr Simpson

accents cafe lounge on stephens street do really nice hot chocolate

Qualitymark

Bald Barista in Wexford Street/Redmond's Hill can be nice, but tell them you want it strong.

I think he meant was there anywhere he could get it at half eleven at night.

Hmm, i would love to find somewhere in Dublin that does proper hot chocolate - like what you in France, in the silver chocolate pots, really thick, rich chocolate.

anywhere i have had it in Dublin is has been watery ****e.

The best hot chocolate I ever had was in Bruges. You melt the chocolate into it yourself.

My favourite's Butler's. Anyone got any contenders to rival them? Its so rich and creamy, a different level compared to the usual weak cadbury's powdered stuff most cafés sell.

Brown Thomas® (I hate promoting this posh prententious crowd), anyway they do a lovely hot chocolate (expensive obviouisly) just at the entrance to their store on Grafton Street™

Its not incredibly thick but, In KC Peaches on Nassau Street they melt chocolate in the Milk for the hot chocolate, no powdered sh*te

Agree on Accents - it is good, the white version is nice also

I have never liked Butlers for Hot Choc - but I think thats just me, as I know other that think they are v good

I must try Brown Thomas - never knew they did that

There is a place on Bachelors Walk that do a great one - do not know the name of the place though

Love that KC peaches place. All their foods natural and most organic. Very good and great selection of for those who like to eat healthy Don't get much places like them around :rolleyes:

Brother Hubbards on Capel Street do it properly too, it's divine

OldBean

Another vote for Brother Hubbard.

Insomnia is great for it, especially at Stephens green.

Insomnia do nice hot chocolate - the chocolate they use is Lily O'Brien's I think and it's really nice except it's not a very "chocolately" hot chocolate which I actually prefer.

teddansonswig

theres a cafe in temple bar, on fleet street, it used to be called the joy of coffee (same block as music center) they have all kindsa fancy hot chocs, well worth a look and open late!

Tar.Aldarion

Really? Because mine is always so strong with loads of chocolate left at the bottom. They do vary shop to shop though

g'em, that looks unreal!!

nolitimere

Surprised there's no mention of Carluccio's hot chocolate (on dawson street). I think that's one of the best in Dublin.

Qualitymark

And of course Butler's, the epicentre of hot and cold chocolate.

Tar.Aldarion

Just went out in the name of this thread and had a hot chocolate in woodstock in phibsboro, it was great! They grind their own own blend of Belgian chocolate.

Butlers also do hot chocolate that you have to melt....getting to that season again!

Twee.

The one in Brown Thomas is at the Laduree macaron stand, it's gorgeous!

+1 for Accents, lovely stuff. They give you hot milk and a bowl of chocolate chips.

Work in the insomnia in my shop from time to time. We're told to put 1 scoop of the chocolate in for a tall and between 1 and 2 for a grande. Generally though people tend to tell us if they want extra or less and it's no problem.

I really like the hot chocolates in Murphy's icecream shop, especially the aztec one. It has chilli, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg in it. Great on cold winter evenings.
