Seems like piling on, but another vote for Angelina in Paris.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that our kids preferred the hot chocolate at Cacao et Chocolat. It was in December and our apartment was about a block away from the location on rue Saint-Louis en l'ile, so they had plenty of opportunities to warm up with it....

I'll second the Marie Belle recommendation. Some might feel ripped off by the size, but I like the fact that they serve in a small cup (demitasse size, IIRC)--a full cup of real hot chocolate can be a little overwhelming, even if you love chocolate as much as I do. And the little cafe in the back of the shop is usually pretty calm even when the rest of Soho is packed with tourists.

Currently sitting at an internet cafe 2 blocks from Notre Dame because I failed to note an address for Angelinas. Hopefully there in 30 minutes or less. ^

OK, took me 45 minutes. I liked it but it was too rich and sweet. I could have had 1/4 cup and been satisfied. I got it to go. Next time I would go in and sit - looked like quite a place.

It is rich; did you add the cream to it? I think that helps cut the sweetness. It could also be that you had it to go... the best way to drink it is at one of the salon du the small tables, sipping slowly, adding the cream. Mmmmm now I want some!

I didn't know about the cream. My visit was too short to sit with a cup. I had to keep moving. Next time, I'll be bringing Mrs BV and I'm sure she'll want to take in the ambiance.

Though not "HOT", per se, I'm a big fan of the frozen "hot" chocolate at Serendipity in NYC. Mmmmmm... My fiancee and I truly enjoy it every time and it's worth the lineup.
