Our favourite hot chocolates in STC


Posted on January 17, 2022

Question: Is there anything we look forward to more than a cup of hot chocolate after a day of winter adventure?

We think not!

Whether you’re packing hot cocoa to sip while out on winter strolls downtown or in Port Dalhousie, or warming up after hiking through the frozen forest at Short Hills Provincial Park, there are plenty of places in St. Catharines to grab a cup of cozy!

We’ve been asking around to make a list of the best hot chocolate spots in St. Catharines.

We’ll keep adding to our list. Here are some of the ones we’ve loved so far:

Chocolates Etc.

? 100 Welland Ave.

Hot chocolates from the best chocolate shop in town. You betcha!

The Fine Grind Cafe

? 37 James St., Downtown St. Catharines

Choose a cup of milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Or both.

Thistle Bookshop and Cafe

? 50 Lakeport Rd., Port Dalhousie

These two: the Grinch is peppermint white chocolate. The Frosty is vanilla. Both are delicious.

Vulies Tea and Cafe

? 43 Church St., Downtown St. Catharines

You may not see hot chocolate on the menu board but its Vulies does serve it and it’s delish.
