Hot chocolate in the West.
Pacific chocolate makers, mountain-town cafés, desert-city bakeries, and the capitals of Alaska and Hawaii.

The West includes Pacific cities, mountain states, the desert Southwest, Alaska, and Hawaii. It is a regional directory rather than a continuous road trip. Start with a state, choose a city, and inspect the evidence for its recommended cocoa stop. A café near your destination is more useful than a famous maker many hours away. Take particular care to distinguish a chocolate shop from a branch with published drink service.
