Last time on The Hot Chocolate Adventure Tamara Green explained why she has taken to the streets of Port Perry to find the number one hot chocolate! And made her first stop at the Durham Homestyle Gourmet. Now we find our hero awing at... a dusting of fresh snow glittered off all the trees in Palmer Park as I passed, on my way to my next Hot Chocolate destination, The Pantry Shelf. This cute little shop on Water Street, has relaxing jazz music streaming outside there doors so you can sit out front sipping your Hot Chocolate while listening to the jazz. Inside it's equal as tranquil, with beautiful decorum. While I waited for the waitress to serve the one other early morning customer before me, I stood at the country "drinking in" the home style feel and studying there menu. Two dollars for a hot chocolate it said. Yet when I received my warm hot chocolate topped with the optional whip cream I was in for a surprise. It didn't cost $2 but $1.75! Now that's the kind of price shock I like! I thanked the waitress, turned around and took a few steps toward the door and then she asked me "You don't want a lid for that?" Oops! I hadn't received a lid so I assumed maybe they had run out. She kindly directed me to the table set up beside the cooler that had the lids, straws, napkins, and sweeteners. Terrific! Now I had my lid snapped on and was ready to try out this promising hot chocolate. Are you ready to come along for the ride as I share with you my findings, cup by cup!?!

Last time on The Hot Chocolate Adventure Tamara Green explained why she has taken to the streets of Port Perry to find the number one hot chocolate! Now we find our hero... rosie cheeked and thirsty for my first hot chocolate adventure, I head south down Water Street to the newly established Durham Homestyle Gourmet. The none fastuous little shop boasts an ever increasingly diverse menu as it buds into the world of ethnic dishes. However, right now my main concern is the self-serve beverage and breakfast bar to my right, where I find a surprising selection of the delightful drink, hot chocolate. Original, White, Mint, and Coffee Crisp. My choice is mint. Although, this hot chocolate is at a self-serve bar the owner/chef generously offers to mix it up for me with a fresh pot of hot water. Despite the water being freshly boiled the suggested addition of cream, for a smooth texture, cools the drink back down to a pleasant casual sipping temperature.

A few weeks ago I was walking to work and I felt like picking up a Hot Chocolate on the way. However, I was in for a dilemma as I couldn't figure out where to buy it. There was to many place to get a hot chocolate! I counted nine of them. There is the: Durham Homestyle Gourmet, The Pantry Shelf, Cafe Mocha, Millar's Market, Queen Bean's, The Piano Cafe Hanks Pastries, Country Corner Coffee, and last but not least the Community Living/Library Cafe. So yesterday I decided to scope one the establishment a day every day I'm in town until I've found which place has the best hot chocolate!
