A day in York - Where for a lovely hot chocolate?

[JoyceDivision]

Possibly brownie too...

A lovely day off work, DC at school.

My plan is designer outlet, park and ride into York, potter round, fish and chips from Drake's as lunch because they are fab, call into the smaller church next to Monster for 10 mins quiet time, but never stopped for a drink anywhere... I'm thinking no dc, not school hols, a Monday, it should be not too busy so I'm hoping to chill out in a cosy spot with an indulgent hot choc...can anyone recommend somewhere?

Is there a Hotel Chocolat cafe in York?

There’s a hotel chocolat in the designer outlet but not sure whether it’s got a cafe.

There’s a place I haven’t been to but DD has on castlegate - the Cocoa Works which I think she said had lovely hot chocolate.

Betty's! There's nowhere better. And you can have a Fat Rascal!

Gatehouse coffee at Walmgate bar - lovely cosy little place. Used to live around the corner and spent a lot of time here!

Gatehouse Coffee is a lovely place. Have only been in the summer and sat outside but am sure it’s cosy inside,

York Chocolate Story cafe. I think it’s near Bettys.

That sounds like an amazing day. Can I come?

Betty’s without a doubt (unless there’s a Hotel Chocolate cafe).
