LAMIA: My absolute favorite place for hot chocolate especially during the harsh winter. I love the semi sweet and salted caramel, they’re my top 2 when choosing the flight
Sara Robertson: Best hot chocolate in the city, no question. The homemade marshmallows are also unbelievable and you get to pick two for each cup.
Time Out Chicago: Try the Salted-caramel marshmallows from our 100 Best list: Katherine Duncan takes her masterful caramel and folds it into her light marshmallows sweetened with wildflower honey.
