Where to Drink Chicago’s Most Heartwarming Hot Chocolates

"Neighborhood landmark Back of the Yards Coffee infuses its hot chocolate with a healthy dose of caffeine. Try the “Xocolatte” with creamy espresso, house-made chocolate ganache, cinnamon, and chile ancho. The coffeehouse is temporarily closed as the team relocates to a new space inside the historic Goldblatt’s Building at the corner of 47th and Marshfield. It’s slated to reopen in late spring or early summer 2024." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
