York Cocoa House york

In York Cocoa house there is some chocolate to try. Dark and light and white made the chocolate shop amazing. Review from my daughter

What a great place to go for afternoon tea or make your own chocolate

I never leave reviews but I felt it really important for other customers to know. We spent a fair amount on chocolate to enjoy as a treat. We bought some drinking chocolate, a milk chocolate egg and some dark chocolate bar. I prefer a dark chocolate and my husband prefers milk chocolate but will enjoy some of the dark chocolate. We were so disappointed with the chocolate. The amount of sugar was so overwhelming with very little chocolate flavour in any of the products. In fact the dark chocolate bar seemed to taste sweet and less chocolatey than the milk chocolate egg. The drinking chocolate is not a powder form (which is fine) but chocolate solids. It was a real struggle to make a drink out of as I feel the chocolate had a low cocoa butter which makes this chocolate solid difficult to melt. Really hoped for better from such a prominent company in York for the price we paid. Taste first before you buy. Something we should have done.

The make a chocolate bar was an amazing workshop. Where you get to try various chocolates of varying coco percentage before choosing one to turn into your own bar of chocolate. Was very fun! The chocolate afternoon tea is also worth a try especially if your a chocolate lover. Would definitely come here again!

The store is filled with the wonderful aroma of chocolate. That's about it. My daughter and I went in and were going to buy some chocolate. Unfortunately, there was no one available to help us. The three types of chocolate we wanted (white, milk, and an assortment) were out of stock at 2pm. However, 4 people were in back of the service counter serving a handful of customers. Two others were preparing chocolates in back (which is interesting to watch). People who came in after us couldn't get any help either. We ended up leaving with nothing. Might need to teach about customer service on the other side of the counter, perhaps?

This company really excels in events. They are creative and organized in a wide variety of activities. The cakes and bakes are good. A working bean to bar chocolate factory. Watched them pour powdered milk and coco butter into the conching machine and that was fun. They have tours daily, even on weekends. Bean to bar classes. Full coffee bar and even coffee ice! Shakes and summer menu. Milk all the way to 100% cacao. Really fun. I had 85% dark hot chocolate and my sister had coffee.

Pleasant enough. Friendly staff. Has some outdoor seating to the front on the pavement. Gorgeous old till! Has variety of chocolate products for sale as gifts.Took an age for the hot chocolate to arrive. Came with a white chocolate on the side. Drink was good, but the place didn't really gel with me.

Love this beautiful new place with great decor and very clean shop with many great treats :)!! I love the cute gesture of adding extra chocolate on the hot chocolate and enjoyed their lovely hot chocolate. There were a lot of choices in the menu and great to see that they were affordable as well. Would love to have the earl grey hot chocolate back!!! That was my favourite one but orange chocolate was nice as well.

Wonderful place! I attended the day-long chocolate explorer masterclass, which was amazingly informative and enjoyable. The intention appeared to convey as much as possible of the knowledge built up over decades worth of learning about chocolate into one day's teaching. They clearly have so much expertise, curiosity and commitment to quality, without being pretentious. I came out with so much appreciation for chocolate, and felt like chocolate-making had been demystified. Totally recommended

We visited on a quiet Sunday morning for some hot drinks. The drinks were okay, though it took some time for them to reach us. We were also really disappointed that despite having the drinks on site, they were all given to us in single use cups with no explanation for this. After the drinks arrived, a staff member brought out a small free chocolate for each of us - though this was given on a tray that was actually 3 disposable coffee cup lids stacked together. Unless I hear there is more of a commitment to operating in a sustainable way, I wouldn't return.
