Cobija (blanket) weather has officially started in Los Angeles, with the first drops of rain descending upon the city over the weekend. As the cold continues to trickle in, we're all looking to warm up one way or another.
Some find a heat source by picking up their favorite tamales, which serve as a great on-the-go meal and double as hand warmers for those working early in the mornings or late at night. Others look for a sweet, hot drink that will heat them up with one sip. Drinks like champurrado, atole, and hot chocolate are not only tasty, warm, and thick, but for many, they offer a taste of home.
We rounded up the best places to find your favorite seasonal warm drinks across Los Angeles. Drinks so good you’ll be chanting: “Oh, the weather outside is frightful. But the warmth of this champurrado is so delightful.” Tis the season!
La Monarca Bakery
La Monarca Bakery is a staple in Los Angeles and rightfully so: They have 12 different locations in the city. Locations where you can get a variety of handmade Mexican pan dulce and cakes. They even have Rosca conchas for those who don’t want to wait for the día de Los Reyes festivities.
