Best Hot Chocolate

Walking into this über-sleepy Upper Queen Anne chocolate shop, you wouldn't think there was any sort of hot action taking place behind the counter. Oh, but there is: Chocolopolis has a special hot chocolate menu, comprising all sorts of liquid treats. The plain old cocoa ($3.95), made from Guittard chocolate—a nice mix of 38 percent milk and 55 percent dark—is a surefire win. Chocolopolis grinds its own chocolate in a food processor. An 8-ounce serving of hot cocoa is equal parts ground chocolate and steamed milk that melts the chocolate into a rich, thick drink. It's not too sweet and has a very satisfying taste, like a melted Easter bunny. For an extra $2, you can get some housemade marshmallows thrown in—“naked” or coated with even more chocolate.
