Looking for a place to celebrate National Cocoa Day? Look no further than the aptly named Chocolate Cafe.

Pro tip: While not on its menu, this staple near Grandview offers a $20 hot chocolate flight that almost looks too good to drink. Almost.

The above mugs, from left: a s'mores milk chocolate, topped with a graham cracker and marshmallow; a not-so-hot white chocolate, containing a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream (my favorite); and a dark chocolate and caramel mix.

😅 Alissa's thought bubble: The chocolate rims and toppings are pretty, but also pretty messy — don't forget napkins.

I had chocolate smeared on my hands, clothes and nose by the end.
… Worth it!

Drink up: Experience Columbus recommends seven hot chocolates to try.
