Hotel Chocolat in NYC: cute shop but unimpressed with their cappuccino!

Date of Trial March 30, 2019 (day after my birthday!)

Location 441 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10017

As my boyfriend and I walked past this little sign, we decided to stop in to see what it’s all about. I can’t ever say no to chocolate!

The variety of chocolates all around the shop was unbelievable!

Everything from truffles to animal-looking treats.

We tried the cappuccino and the hot chocolate - review below!

With vegan / dark chocolate shavings on top!

70% cocoa vegan dark chocolate shavings added a fun flair to the top of this mediocre cappuccino - fluffy foam, not very bold with a dash of sweetness. I ended up tossing the bottom half of the drink due to its lack of flavor.

The napkins were super cool! I had to take a quick picture of one.

Emile enjoyed his vegan hot chocolate!

More than I enjoyed my cappuccino!
