    Winter in Gloucester just got sweeter with seasonal hot cocoa specials at Cape Ann Lanes! ☕️❄️ Cozy up to a fire pit in their winter beer garden, or stop by the bar to grab one after candlepin bowling this month. We tried the Salted Caramel with caramel syrup, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce and sprinkles, and the Snow Day Sprinkle with whipped cream, vanilla snowman marshmallows, and sprinkles. ☃️ #GloucesterMA #winter #NewEngland #capeannlanes #hotcocoa
