What I meant was I prefer it without liquid milk.

Best Hot Chocolate
 

Waking up to 45F in Miami can be a drag, so I headed to La Palma on SW 8th Street (Calle Ocho) and 60th Avenue - they have a great thick hot chocolate!

My all time favorite though is the one I had in Madrid @ San Gines. You can cut it with a knife from how thick it is! NYCers will talk about Serendipidity or Maison du Chocolat in Rock Center, but let me tell you, you have to try the one in San Gines in Madrid!

There's a cafeteria in Mexico City Zocalo district that also serves great Hot Chocolate with Churros, but I forget the name.

Burdick Chocolate, Harvard Square, Cambridge!!!
For best forzen hot chocolate, go to Serindipity 3 in NYC (wait easily starts at 1 hour :D )

Have to agree Spanish hot chocolate is terrific.

I do enjoy the spicy hot chocolate at Marie Belle in New York. Another so thick you can cut it.

Vosges makes some decent hot chocolates, but they don't compare to the above.

Thanks for mentioning Burdick. I'll make a point to get there this month.

Cafe Weggen in Zurich. My vote for tops among the city's multiple excellent hot chocolate choices.

George V, Paris. Get the whole afternoon tea for a real experience.

Second for Burdick's! You can get dark, milk, or white.

Angelina on Rue Rivoli in Paris

Another vote for Angelina. It's completely decadent.

I'll agree, but I get mine at their Walpole, NH location. Great stuff, although the hot chocolate I had at Harrods was a pretty close second.

I love Angelina in Paris; Cacoa Sampaka in Barcelona also has wicked hot chocolate, served with delicious langues du chat.

Buy yourself some chocolate abuelita or Ibarra. Prepare it as per the package instructions, but add a pinch of cayenne pepper and some vanilla extract.

Absolutely delicious
