We're in the midst of a cold snap here in New Hampshire, and as Granite State residents know, we won't truly thaw out for a few months to come. When the ice is thick on the windowpanes and there aren't enough blankets in the house to warm you up, there's nothing better than heading to a cozy, warm cafe for a piping hot latte or hot chocolate that gets right at the chill in your bones.
