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?
