3. SOMA Chocolatemaker, Spicy Maya Hot Chocolate ($4.43)

There’s something sweet brewing in Toronto’s historic Distillery District, and no, it’s not an organic craft pint at the Mill St. Brew Pub. Tucked away in the quaint locale, is one of the cutest chocolate factories the city has to offer, and what the team at SOMA does with cacao beans is nothing short of magical. For their classic hot chocolate — served as an intense shot of melted chocolate or in a mug mixed with milk or water — the rich concoction is made with 64 per cent dark chocolate shavings melted with steamed milk (pictured above, left, with soy). For the adventurous types, order the Spicy Maya, infused with chili peppers, cinnamon, ginger, Madagascar vanilla, orange peel and “secret spices”. It’s worth it, trust us (above, right, made with soy milk).
