Giant Marshmallow in City Bakery’s Hot Chocolate
Went here a few weeks back planning on getting some special flavor of Hot Chocolate, but upon our arrival, The City Bakery had run out! City Bakery is quite large and when we went it was packed with people. There is a seating around the perimeter of the establishment as well as a second level seating area. Tons of marshmallows hang from the ceiling as decoration. Very cool, but what a waste of delicious marshmallows!
With the special flavor out of stock we settled for a large ‘regular’ hot chocolate with a giant marshmallow which, I believe, came out to $6 dollars. That’s a heavy price for hot chocolate, but this hot chocolates is rich. Creamy, thick/heavy/rich chocolate-y amazing. We definitely didn’t need a large… and that was for two people. We barely made it to the end of the cup because it was so heavy, but it’s deliciousness had me choking it down. The marshmallow itself was amazing. Really nicely malleable and almost melts in the mouth. These guys do hot chocolate right. We also ordered a chocolate zucchini cake, and although I didn’t really taste much of the zucchini, it was pretty good.
City Bakery’s regular menu features some tasty looking sandwiches, varieties of chicken, and a very appealing mac & cheese. The prices are a little bit up there, but maybe at some point I’ll give their food a try, although if I stop by here I’ll end up with a hot chocolate and not need anything else. Mmm. Perfect for a cold day!
The City Bakery is located at 3 W 18th St between 5th and 6th ave
