There's no holiday nostalgia or winter chill that can't be cured with a steaming mug of delicious, frothy, sweet hot chocolate.
Cocoan.
We open this delicious list with a place that has turned the chocolate tradition into a true art. At Cocoan they boast a simple and sincere mission: “to offer you the best version of your favorite chocolate”. For that, they created a very complete menu of options to drink and eat, highlighting cocoa powder, handmade truffles, chocolates in bars or by the gram, covered strawberries and much more.
Of course, hot chocolate with milk could not be missing from their menu. You can choose between whole milk, lactose-free, almond or coconut milk, all of which taste delicious! They manufacture the raw materials, so you can expect all the quality and flavor in each steaming, frothy cup.
Alchemy Coffee Lab.
In this laboratory of flavors the protagonist is its diverse coffee-based drinks, but its handmade hot chocolate is one of the tastiest in Monterrey. Of course it is the option for the winter, with its inevitable layer of chocolates, but be sure to try their frapé version, which is also delicious.
The flasks and beakers in which they serve their creations deserve a special mention. They come in various shapes and sizes and give a really original touch. The drinking menu is very extensive in terms of coffees (lattes, cappuccinos, Irish) and they also offer teas, smoothies and seasonal drinks.
And if you get hungry, the menu is non-stop! There are sandwiches, pancakes, paninis, French toasts, waffles and bakery.
La Postrería 77.
It is very difficult to pass by their extensive variety of cakes, brownies and cheesecakes, which are their forte, to concentrate on their hot chocolate proposal. It is huge, served on a layer of liquid chocolate and crowned with minimal marshmallows that get lost in the foam. Highly recommended.
Other hot alternatives can be found in their extensive bar of coffees and teas, although they also have a wide range of cold and iced drinks. To accompany, you really can’t miss their tremendous menu of cakes: red velvet, chocolate, carrot, almond toffee, banana, vanilla and many more. To start the day they serve enchiladas, chilaquiles, sincronizadas or quesadillas.
Mille Délices.
An authentic French pâtisserie in our city. From the European country they get the ingredients to create desserts, cakes and breakfasts that will conquer you. A sparkling hot French-style chocolate is the ideal option to face the cold of the season. They also offer a wide variety of coffee in hot and cold versions, and juices.
Of course, you can’t leave without adding some of their freshly baked bakery options, which include the Saint-Honoré cake, with profiteroles and whipped cream; the almond sponge cake with toasted butter and, of course, the pain au chocolat. They have breakfasts that include chilaquiles, omelets, toast and croissants, quiches or croque monsieur.
Café Cacao.
They are producers and roasters of coffee, for which they have different extraction methods and recipes; they also bake their own sweet and box bread, for their sandwiches. But the secret ingredient of their hot chocolate that has conquered Monterrey is that the raw material comes from Oaxaca.
Convinced that drinking chocolate produces the same happiness as love, they set out to make you fall in love in every cup with a sweet, frothy drink, without many adornments but with a delicious flavor. Be sure to accompany yours with one of the many options on their menu, such as french toasts, freshly baked sweet bakery, chocolate roles, marshmallow cookies, or even focaccias and salty toasts.
