Nestled in the midst of South Philadelphia is a Mexican coffee house/cafe that serves one hell of a hot chocolate. Recently recognized by the Philadelphia Inquirer as a destination for fine hot cocoa, Cafe Y Chocolate boasts a menu of traditional Mexican desserts, entrees, tacos and brunch. Hours are limited to breakfast, lunch, and early dinner (closing is at the odd hour of 6:30pm). With seating for only 30 people, expect to wait. Its not a “Honey’s Sit-n-Eat kind of wait” but a wait nonetheless.
Choosing the right hot chocolate can be hard as it all sounds and looks amazing once we take a look at the menu. The two chocolate drink mainstays are the cafe con chocolate and chocolate Oaxacan. The former is cocoa mixed with coffee with a lighter chocolate taste. The Oaxacan is full on cocoa no holding back. Both have cinnamon sprinkled on top but it works with the Oaxacan better.
