Athleisure Mag #50 Feb 2020 | Athleisure List - The Wonderbon Chocolate Co.

Although we have been enjoying warm temperatures, there is some- thing about being able to enjoy hot choclate during the winter. We found ourselves this month at The Wonder- bon Chocolate Co. which opened on Feb 1st of this year as a pop up to mark the Hot Chocolate Festival that Hot Chocolate Maker Maury Rubin created and ran for 28 years each February at City Bakery.

This pop-up shop is meant to announce the creation of The Wonderbon Choc- olate Co., a brand new chocolate com- pany based primarly on hot chocolate. For the next 3 months, guests will be able to enjoy the treats offered here and there is a chance that it will con- tinue as a location beyond this time period. Two sizes are available as a 4oz. "Shot" for $4 and an 8oz. "Regular" for $5.50. We enjoyed their Hot Chocolate Hap- py Hour which takes place Monday - Friday from 5-7pm. They serve a ro- tational flight menu. We enjoyed Mez- cal-Spiked Hot Chocolate with an Onyx Cocoa-Salted Rim, White Chocolate Hot Chocolate with Walnut Liquor, Bourbon Hot Chocolate with Choc- olate Whipped Cream and a regular hot chocolate without alcohol. These all come in the shot sizes.

The one of a kind menu of hot choco- lates by Maury Rubin has been a long- tim evolving work. Some of his best known concoctions throughout the years include Vanilla Bean Hot Choc- olate, Ginger Hot Chocolate, Tropical Hot Chocolate, and Sunken Treasure Hot Chocolate. New flavors include

White Miso Hot Chocolate, Brown Sug- ar Hot Chocolate and White Chocolate with Plum Jam, Coriander and Cinna- mon.

There are new flavors being creat- ed each day. The shop serves four to eight flavors daily, with a rotating menu. This is definitely a great way to pop in to see what new flavors are available as the pop-up continues.

The bigger plan for Wonderbon Choc- olate is to create a line-up of ready to drink hot chocolates for the home, with a level of quality and creativity that customers will enjoy.
