I would agree with the sentiment expressed here (I am actually not a coffee drinker but a hot chocolate drinker) but I'd say where you find good HC you will usually find decent Coffee and vica versa.
My favourite places to get a HC in Auckland is actually the Mobil on Dominion Road and it's relatively inexpensive compared to specialist places charging $5 for a HC. Outrageous.
Also what is with places not having Marshmellows? Chocolate Biscuits or a pineapple lump, it's just bizzare. At the very least offer both! I wouldn't be a regular anywhere that didn't do them!
Incidentally I consider Starbucks to have the worst HC's I have had.
Anyone care to comment on great places for Coffee or HC's or for that matter any other hot drinks?
