The goal of this year is to try 20 different hot chocolates 🍫 🍮 😋
"Salted caramel-infused signature PAUL hot chocolate\* with Baileys salted caramel liqueur, topped with French vanilla Chantilly cream and a sprinkle of gold flakes. Served with a mini Baileys salted caramel liqueur-infused caramel tart."
Review: Wanted to try the orange one but it sold out. Basic drink but good portion and tart was good.
" A homage to the Philippine dessert with the same name, this purple-coloured drinking chocolate features ube (Phillippine purple yam) and pandan and is topped with a floating calamansi meringue. The ube pandan white chocolate used in this drink is made in house and will evoke flavours of almonds, vanilla and coconut. Served with an ube pandan shortbread cookie. "
Review: It was equally as good as the other Ube hot chocolate. Hard time deciding which one was better.
"A cup of hot milk into which is dropped a chocolate sphere filled with cocoa powder and marshmallow. "
Review: Good straight forward drink but I realized it was also the only drink I've had that had marshmallows haha
" An apple pie-inspired, white hot chocolate with traditional pie flavours of cinnamon, vanilla and Granny Smith apples. Topped with whipped cream and cinnamon-sugar. Served on the side, stroopwafel - a thin, round waffle cookie made from two layers of sweet baked dough held together with caramel filling. "
Review: Drink and cookie were good but the whipped cream was a bit different the rest of them but I can't put into words why
" Orange zest-Masala Chai tea and 31 % milk chocolate. Served with an Orange Polvoron (Mexican shortbread cookie.) "
Review: The cookie was really soft. Kinda forgot I was drinking a hot chocolate with this one. I really enjoy chai so i was very happy with this!
" Malted 66% Valrhona Caraïbe hot chocolate with whip cream, topped with crispy, candied, rye bread crumble and malted rim. Reminds us of being 10-years-old and walking to our local corner store for a frozen malted milk. (But this one is a lot cozier!) Served with house made dark chocolate and candied rye "malteser". "
Review: Actually did felt cozy to drink. I really liked the malted rim taste to this drink!
" You'll know you're in Vancouver when you see this fun, 70% dark hot chocolate (with pink Himalayan salt ) melting a cloud-shaped mass of cotton candy suspended over the cup. It's raining! "
Review: I liked the cotton candy but the drink was a little over-hyped haha. It was a easy to drink, I just felt a little underwhelmed. I feel like the donut one they had would be a better choice!
" Based on the traditional Australian biscuit, this white chocolate, coconut and raspberry hot chocolate is topped with whipped cream and a house made, iced Vovo biscuit. "
Review: Drink is slightly too sweet for me but the coconut on the rim kept it under control and was really good. They also have really good meat pies I got to try!
" House made dark chocolate sauce perfectly infused with a rich cream and crowned by a dollop of decadent mascarpone whip. Paired with a fresh baked, chocolate-dipped, chocolate biscotti from Italia Bakery \*We travelled to Torino, Italy - a chocolate lover's heaven - and sampled this authentic Italian drinking chocolate. The mascarpone whip complements the drink beautifully, but also teeters this indulgence into dessert territory. "
Review: I wanted to try their PISTACHIO drink so badly, but this drink makes me forget about it. Might be the only drink I will put effort into trying it a second time!
"Chocolate combined with non-alcohol umeshu plum wine made with Nanko ume plums from Kishu, Japan. Served with a non-alcohol Umeshu Chocolate Truffle."
Review: I was surprised how not sweet this was haha. It was really easy to drink! The cup was also kinda of amazing. Kinda felt like drinking mulled wine.
"Birthday cake-inspired hot chocolate made with white chocolate and sprinkles. (Contains nuts). Served with a Funfetti doughnut, filled with vanilla custard, topped with vanilla buttercream, sprinkles and "cake bark" ."
Review: Better then the first parallel drink but still pretty basic. Liked the cake bark though!
"Roasted cashew sorbet "float" with white hot chocolate. Served with caramelized cashew dacquoise."
Review: The sorbet was good but it was a way too sweet for me! I think I prefer hot drinks haha
"Dark chocolate and banana-infused hot chocolate, topped with peanut butter whipped cream, chocolate ganache, caramel and candied peanuts. Served with a 3" personal 'Fat Elvis' pie."
Review: Top 5 drink for me! Loved the pie haha
A 35% strawberry chili white hot chocolate with roasted coconut flakes. Paired with Dark Moon (rum truffle with fresh vanilla bean). "This is a story of a little strawberry whose life is whirling and rippling in this drink like a flame of a dreamy flamenco dancer in her long, flowing dress; this is a drink where the roots of a little chile pepper whispers her secrets to the heart of the dancing strawberry....Come, get a sip, let their passion heal you..." -- Paul Dincer
Review: Top 3 or 5 drink for me! They make hot chocolates year round, so I would like to go back
" White Chocolate and Ube is made by mixing our Filipino ube paste with Michel Cluziel Elianza 33% Ivory chocolate to create this unique hot chocolate. We slow cook the ube until it becomes smooth with no clumps and then we melt it inside the hot chocolate The drink will come with whipped cream on top if requested. On the side: cannoli filled with coconut gelato. "
Review: This was probably top 3 to me at the moment! The cannoli is sooo good! This makes me miss Yelo'd :(
"A vibrant and elegant pink chocolate with ripe strawberries. Served with a strawberry oolong tea muffin."
Review: Did not think I would like a strawberry hot chocolate so much, but the drink and muffin were really good
" A 70% dark drinking chocolate with hojicha (roasted green tea) and maple syrup in piping hot oat milk. Served with house made hojicha shortbread. "
Review: Took me a bit to get use to but it was easier to drink as I continued. Something about the texture just made it really enjoyable to drink!
" Milk tea-flavoured, white hot chocolate, sweetened with muscovado sugar. The boba pearls up the fun factor. Served with a mini version of Beta 5's 'Mango Milk Tea' bunny cream puff. "
Review: Worth it alone just for the mango cream puff!
" 40% milk chocolate with hojicha milk tea and tapioca pearls. Served with a black sesame chocolate truffle. "
Review: Good drink and good excuse to have tapioca
" A blend of whiskey-infused condensed milk and a creamy and rich hot chocolate, all topped with vanilla-infused cream. Served with a home made, baked cookie. (Contains alchohol!) "
Review: This was a good drink but the whiskey was so strong in this drink haha
" Vegan, white chocolate\*, matcha soy latte with house made organic, Japanese black sesame paste in a white chocolate-rimmed cup. Served with a vegan mini matcha cream puff filled with matcha coconut oat cream and dipped in white chocolate. Handcrafted by our in-house bakery, Level V Bakery. (Gluten-free option to the cream puff: a small scoop of vegan matcha ice cream.) "
Review: Really good quality matcha!
" Dark hot chocolate infused with cardamom and organic rose petals. Served with a mini brioche doughnut filled with spiced chocolate custard and topped with orange blossom glaze, pistachios and rose petals. "
Review: This just tasted/smelled like a regular hot chocolate to me. I liked the donut but I do not think it matched with the drink
" An ode to creativity with organic white miso paste, cream cheese and Valrhona 35% Blond Dulcey chocolate, this hot chocolate is topped with house made miso cheese whipped cream and nori (seaweed flakes). It's a sweet and savoury hot drink that brings an audacious experience to the table. Paired with a classic cheesecake bar covered with Japanese rice cracker bits. "
Review: One of the first drinks I had, and I still think about it. Probably my favorite one. Fufu's was my favorite last year too!
" A blend of dark and white chocolate sauce, house made syrup, fresh whipped cream and dark chocolate cookie crumble. Served with a chocolate cookie with white and dark chocolate chips. "
Review: I enjoy anything that is cookie cream flavored! It does taste what you would expect though
" Mokaya 66% single origin plantation hot chocolate topped with piment d'espelette whipped ganache. Served with a cigarette tuille and chocolate tablet. "
Review: First drink of the year. Price kinda spooked me but it was a good quality drink! Probably still the best whipping cream I had!
