Nothing quite warms you up like hot chocolate does. Sweet, rich, creamy, and comforting, with or without whipped cream, there’s just something about it that is at once nostalgic and decadent. And with winter swiftly upon us and the weather getting frostier by the day, there’s no time like the present to enjoy a hot steamy cup of cocoa. Head over to any of these great coffee shops in and around Plattsburgh to enjoy one! 

KOFFEE KAT 

Located in downtown Plattsburgh, Koffee Kat is consistently rated one of the top coffee shops in town. And for good reason: their friendly staff, frequent live music performances, and, of course, fantastic selection of delicious coffee and baked goods has made the cafe a local favorite for more than 20 years. Their hot chocolate, in particular, always gets rave reviews—stop in to taste why! 

CHAPTER ONE COFFEE AND TEA 

Chapter One’s story began in Seattle, where founders Chris and Tracy found inspiration in the local coffee scene, local produce, and started roasting their own beans. Now, their cafe in Plattsburgh follows the same ethos, with its commitment to supporting local New York vendors. Topped with thick and creamy whipped cream, their hot cocoa is one to not to miss.
