Thursdays are long days, and long days call for a reward. Luckily, I can count on every day holding a reward of some sort during the hot chocolate festival! Today I reaped my day’s prize at none other than Cocoa Nymph, who is into their third festival item introduced this week. “Hera’s Habit”Made from 50%…
It should be evident that today’s festival item holds great promise to be delicious based solely on its name.After taking part in an exercise study downtown, I took the opportunity to take a second peek inside Bel Cafe. My first visit had been met with the information that I could not order my drink with a…
This evening’s hot chocolate festival stop called for an upscale, classy establishment with an unassuming exterior offering a hot chocolate “inspired” cocktail.

Details about the contest are on their website. I would greatly appreciate this simple act on your part, as…
What a sunny day we had here!With good company at my side, today’s hot chocolate festival visit took me to a spot I visited during last year’s festival: Gem Chocolates. To the unprimed eye, one may mistake the location for a small Bell outlet, based on its simplistic white and blue exterior – but when…
A field trip downtown for myp hot took me nearer to some of the farther off locations of the festival, so I took advantage of this spare time and went to the Vancouver Convention Centre – such a beautiful place! I went in the wrong entrance, so I got to detour through a lower level…
