As the temperature drops and winter approaches, there is always one drink that becomes a seasonal favorite\u2013hot chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot chocolate is easy to make and cheap to buy, but where can you find the best hot chocolate in Frederick? Do you hit a local coffee shop or find a fast-food joint like Starbucks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I searched for the best hot chocolate in Frederick and found it at Dublin Roasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dublin Roasters, located at 1780 N. Market Street, exceeded all of my expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drink was nice and hot, yet the whipped cream on top helped to balance out the temperature of the drink so I didn\u2019t burn my tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drink had a very strong milk chocolate flavor, so if you\u2019re a fan of milk chocolate and need a warm drink, Dublin Roasters is the place for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dublin Roasters did have the most expensive hot chocolate out of all the places I tried, but not by much. The total cost for my drink was $3.97.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A close second place was Starbucks. Starbucks\u2019 hot chocolate was very similar to Dublin Roasters\u2019, except Starbucks had more of a dark chocolate taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My drink from Starbucks cost $3.95, but once again, was worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although other hot chocolate at other Frederick shops was cheaper and served more quickly, the quality was not as high as Dublin Roasters or Starbucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried Frederick Coffee Company at 100 N. East St., Gravel and Grind at 15 E. 6th<\/sup> St., Ibiza Caf\u00e9 at 8 W. 4th<\/sup> St. and The Perfect Blend at 31 W. Patrick St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other hot chocolates I tried weren\u2019t bad, but they just did not measure up to Dublin Roasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drinks I got from Frederick Coffee Company and Gravel and Grind were not very hot. Gravel and Grind\u2019s hot chocolate was also too milky. The hot chocolate from Ibiza Caf\u00e9 had a nice presentation but did not taste as good as it looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Perfect Blend was pretty good, but the flavor was not as strong as some of the other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a good hot chocolate this winter, go to Dublin Roasters, but if you need something a little quicker or you\u2019re not around Frederick, find a Starbucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Rankings and Prices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Dublin Roasters ($3.97)<\/li>
  2. Starbucks ($3.95)<\/li>
  3. The Perfect Blend ($3.39)<\/li>
  4. Ibiza Caf\u00e9 ($3.29)<\/li>
  5. Gravel and Grind ($3.18)<\/li>
  6. Frederick Coffee Company ($3.72)<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
