The hot chocolate index

I've been meaning to do this for a while.

For public safety reasons I can no longer drink coffee (plus it gives me a migraine) but no-one in the medical profession, police or armed services, have said anything about hot chocolate.

Here's the ranking so far for hot chocolate outlets:

  1. Apostrophe - "hot chocolate" is exactly what they give: chocolate so hot it's in the liquid phase
  2. Tinderbox in Islington - found it today whilst I was taking a break from job hunting and trying to look cool. Very chocolaty but not hot, should be called "very warm chocolate". Still good though.
  3. Place near bank tube. No idea where it is but it was quite chocolatly.
  4. Starbucks - perfectly standard issue hot chocolate although better if you accept their kind offer to dollop loads of cream on top.
  5. Sequel in Islington - almost as good as Starbucks but to be honest these last two are way down the list compared with the first two.
