Sensory Zero
Although Sensory Zero is a speciality coffee shop, it takes its hot chocolate very seriously. This chocolate drink isn’t for the light hearted. Think overflowing chocolate cream with dark, milk and white chocolate flakes spilling out of the cup. The skill used in steaming milk to make a perfect froth is the reason why this drink is so creamy.

Passion by Gérard Dubois
There are three chocolate beverages available in this French-inspired café. For chocolate connoisseurs, try the chocolate chaud “passion”, its signature drink. Showcasing bitter dark chocolate in a thick and creamy drink that is topped with a raspberry. The fruitiness of the berry helps to cut through the richness of the chocolate flavour. For the palates that aren’t cut out for such rich drinks, there’s also a regular hot chocolate to keep you warm.
