Winter is about to get sweeter with the return of the cozy, comforting, and fun Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival. Celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2025, the festival runs from Saturday, January 18 to Friday, February 14, and the always innovative Honolulu Coffee is proudly participating once again. The beloved local café will offer two distinctive, vegan-friendly creations at all three locations, showcasing its dedication to bold flavours and thoughtful craftsmanship.
From January 18 to February 14, Honolulu Coffee invites you to experience the art of hot chocolate through two vibrant and daring creations:
- Kim’s Berry ($12) Kim’s Berry offers an unexpected twist on the classic hot chocolate. This drink combines 70% dark chocolate and creamy oat milk with aromatic strawberry and an intriguing heat of fermented Korean gochujang, delivering a nuanced balance of sweetness and spice. Each cup is paired with a vegan strawberry cookie, rounding out a vibrant and indulgent experience. Vegan and Dairy-Free
- Flora’s Glow ($12) Inspired by tropical vibrancy, Flora’s Glow features 70% dark chocolate blended with creamy oat milk, tropical guava, and bright orange zest. Every sip offers a burst of sunshine, complemented by a vegan orange almond cookie, providing a citrusy counterpoint to the rich cocoa base. Vegan and Dairy-Free
