5 Places in Mumbai Serving Hot Chocolate Worth Going Out For
When winter hits Mumbai, the city doesn’t really get cold, but somehow, we all start craving things that feel warm, nostalgic, and comforting. And for some of us, nothing does that better than a cup of hot chocolate. The kind that makes you pause. The kind that feels like a tiny reward at the end of a long day. But here’s the problem: not every place gets it right. Some are too sweet, some too milky, and some just don’t feel indulgent enough. So this week, we did the scouting for you.
This week, IFN Take5 rounds up five of Mumbai’s best hot chocolate spots, each guaranteed to warm you up, slow you down, and make winter feel a little more magical.
Five spots, five mugs, five reasons to step out for your cosiest evening yet.
Velvety, rich, and sipped slowly, Poetry treats hot chocolate like a ritual. Their Hot Chocolate menu is all warmth and indulgence, the kind you hold with both hands and savour without rushing.
Comfort in a cup- deeply chocolaty, not cloying, topped with soft marshmallows (or whipped cream, whichever you like) for the childlike joy of winter evenings. Best enjoyed with someone who talks as slowly as you sip.
Elegant, mellow, and dessert-forward, Chantilly’s hot chocolate leans creamy instead of heavy, making it perfect for long conversations, sweet cravings, and afternoons that turn into evenings without warning.
Decadent and unapologetically indulgent, their hot chocolate tastes like pure melted chocolate with just the right balance of richness to make you stay for a second cup without hesitation (topped with some vegetarian marshmallows).
A favourite amongst locals for their hot chocolate, which is smooth and comforting with a balanced depth. The kind of hot chocolate that pairs perfectly with a quiet book moment or a soft catch-up with a friend you don’t need to impress.
So the next time the weather feels a little moody or your day feels a little long, skip the coffee and order the hot chocolate instead. Sometimes, warmth isn’t a temperature; it's a flavour.
