Hoct&Loca: the essential chocolate break along the Canal St-Martin

There's nothing like a stroll along the banks of the Canal St-Martin to escape the hustle and bustle of Paris. But after a few kilometers of strolling between the footbridges and the peaceful reflections of the water, a comforting break is in order. Good news: Hoct&Loca, specialist in hot chocolate and chocolate coffees, has opened a new address at 47 rue Lucien Sampaix, right next to the canal.

As soon as you enter, the large glass frontage reveals a space bathed in light, offering an ideal refuge for strollers in search of a soothing treat. The interior, with its clean lines and warm colors, invites you to relax and enjoy an exceptional cup of hot chocolate. Here, every cup is a real experience: six types of melted chocolate, from intense dark to praline and caramelized dulce, to be enjoyed with cow's milk or plant milk. For an even more gourmet touch, why not accompany it with a crunchy croissant or a fondant cookie?

This gourmet cocoon is also ideal for a coffee break with a Hoct&Loca twist. Cappuccino, latte or espresso are enriched with a touch of melted chocolate, for a comforting change from the traditional black coffee.

More than a hot chocolate: a gourmet experience

Chocolate is king at Hoct&Loca, but the experience doesn't stop there. Wednesday to Friday from 8am to 5:30pm, and weekends from 9am to 6pm, the establishment offers a generous chocolate brunch. Fluffy pancakes topped with melted chocolate, carefully-cooked eggs, golden pastries and colorful savory plates: enough to fill up on energy before heading off to explore the banks of the canal.

And what about summer? The indulgence continues with an artisanal ice cream, coated with the melted chocolate of your choice from the six varieties available. For an even more personalized touch, homemade toppings complete this sweet ice cream for an explosion of flavors in every bite.

Whether you're just passing through the neighborhood or a regular stroller along the canal, Hoct&Loca invites you to discover its world of chocolate, a blend of tradition and creativity.
