"Chocolate Coffee" in Florence

I am going to Florence this summer. I want to know IF there is, like in Torino, places that sell espresso mixed with chocolate and topped with fresh cream. I saw that previewed while watching the Olympics, and it looked heavenly, and have been dying to try it.

Having lived in Florence, I never saw espresso mixed with chocolate but if you order hot chocolate (cioccolato caldo) anywhere in Italy, you will get a pudding-like hot chocolate with cream (Be sure to order it with "panna" (Cream). It is amazing.

You are speaking of the bicerin (bee-chay-REEN), the Torinese specialty drink. You might try asking for it by name. Otherwise, as Veronica mentioned, the cioccolato caldo con panna is heavenly.

Not sure if i've seen this specifically in Florence, but in most places in europe, a "mocha" coffee is an expresso mixed with chocolate.
