Demitasse
This is a must if you’re a hot chocolate lover! Cafe Demitasse is known for their decadent lavender hot chocolate. They say some people eat with their eyes, but some people drink with their eyes too!

With six options that you clearly cannot go wrong with, you’ll get to choose from classic, white chocolate, dark chocolate, cinnamon-orange chocolate, hazelnut chocolate and coconut chocolate.
