If you haven’t had Petrova’s hot chocolate yet, you’re seriously missing out on a cup of magic. This East Boston gem isn’t just a chocolate shop—it’s a full-on experience, and their hot cocoa is the star of the show this winter.
Forget those powdered packets from the grocery store; Petrova’s hot chocolate is like a hug in a mug. It’s thick, creamy, and made with their signature handcrafted chocolate. Classic chocolate lovers will adore the rich, velvety traditional option, but don’t sleep on their spicy Mayan blend—it’s got just the right kick to keep you warm all winter.
Not to mention, they’ve got toppings galore. Marshmallows, whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel or even a sprinkle of crushed candy cane. Feeling extra? Add a chocolate-dipped biscotti on the side—it’s pure bliss.
And the best part? Petrova’s cozy vibe makes it the perfect spot to sit, sip, and escape the December chill. So grab a cup, and while you’re there, stock up on their truffles and bark for holiday gifts (or, let’s be honest, for yourself).
