Cabosse in Northumberland

2 visits in 2 days. Fabulous coffee! And amazing service of course! Have sent you a message on Facebook too! Mick 😊👍😘 XX

Nestled in the heart of Warkworth, this shop is a haven for all chocolate enthusiasts. I discovered this place whilst on holiday in the area last year. I drove to Northumbria and headed straight to Cabosse! I was warmly welcomed by the owner who radiates warmth and kindness. There is a selection of handmade chocolates and gifts suitable for all occasions. Don’t forget to visit the rear of the shop too! The star of the show for me is the hot chocolate. I declared it the ‘best in the world’ last year and can confirm the quality is still exceptional. My taste buds danced with joy whilst sipping the thick comforting drink. I’ve been here three days and have been in daily. If I lived here, I’d officially be an addict of Cabosse hot chocolate. Do not miss this place if you’re ever in the area. Dog friendly too.

This beautiful little shop has a gorgeous selection of homemade chocolates and pastries, beautiful gifts and most important, the best hot chocolate in the whole world! Definitely worth a visit

Very cute little shop, super friendly lady running it. I was told to go here for hot chocolate by a friend who claimed it was the best in the world. I can confirm this is true! First taste is very sweet, but then a hit of intense chocolate flavour. I thought the cups looked small, but the richness means they’re perfect. Definitely worth a visit if you’re visiting the town or the castle.

Visited about 8 years ago and always remembered the chocolates which were fabulous. When revisiting Warkworth few days ago this was the first place we visited. What a disappointment! Only 3 or 4 flavours of chocolates, not the dozens we could choose from previously. We bought a selection but frankly they all tasted the same and one would be hard pressed telling which was which. Don't bother - go to Hotel Chocolate, their chocolates are far superior! Won't go there again, very sad.

The best coffee and hot chocolate for miles. Illy coffee, which, in my view, takes some beating. Hand made chocolates have been the main stay for years and are as good as ever. A little gem…

WOW. My wife and I had multiple chocogasms (if that wasn’t a word, it is now!) having had the best hot chocolate we’ve ever had. It was no ordinary hot chocolate...it was purely molten chocolate in a mug and beautiful presented. Clean, well presented, cosy establishment with friendly staff. Will most certainly be back!

A wonderful visit. Staff couldn't be more accommodating and the chocolate and patisserie was amazing - so good we also left with a carrier bag of even more items to eat later. The attention to detail was excellent which isn't surprising since apparently the proprietor is a master chocolatière-pâtissière having worked for Rick Stein and Betty’s of Harrogate as well as graduating from the L’Ecole Cordon Bleu in Paris and working with various master artisanal chocolatiers in France. A wonderful addition to the Warkworth eateries!!

Small but very cosy coffee/chocolate cafe. I had a really good ice cream with real chocolate sauce and my husband had the most amazing flake hot chocolate which was beautifully presented on a tray with extra hot milk and cream and flakes in a bowl. Lovely small shop too with hand made chocolates. Great personal service.

Were prepared for a different experience due to covid but the reduced menu and inferior paper plates and plastic cutlery were a disappointment. Could not fault the Danish pastry but hot chocolate not the usual luxurious experience. Hope things better next visit.

Warm welcome from Michelle and Louise, who'd been kind enough to reserve a table for us. The need to socially distance was marginally met even with only 3 tables in back room. If you're trying to strictly adhere to 2 metres you may have doubts. Deliciod hot chocolate, and tea flavoured with vanilla and chocolate. Small Danish was good. The Chocolate and Almond pastry was almost too much. Very large, quite soft, not really like a flaky croissant-type of pastry. In my opinion, the combination of Almond and Chocolate was too much of a good thing and the flavours conflicted. But we had a lovely time and would go back if we were in the area again. We didn't buy anything in the shop so can't comment.

This is an amazing chocolatier/patisserie shop and coffee shop at the rearWith social distancing only 3 tables in the back but we were lucky to get one for 3 The 2 ladies in there were lovely and helpful explaining what was what and it was a joy to be in thereThe hot chocolate is very rich and thick and we really enjoyed it The sweet appetiser mini pastry desserts were fabWell worth a visit

After visiting Alnmouth beach, kids wanted an ice cream; we drove into Warkworth and came across Cabosse - must admit doesn’t look anything special from the outside but the chocolate, cakes and patisseries on display looked amazing. We opted for ice creams and sorbets to takeaway along with a small pack of dice/letter pralines - well worth a visit!

What a fantastic place!We were able to book the seating area to the rear. Owing to social distancing measures, this was restricted just to our party. This actually enhanced the experience as we got the full benefit of excellent service from a team who clearly value their artisan hand crafted food, which can only be described as amazing. This is a real delight to anyone with a sweet tooth (or two). The hot chocolates in particular are of real merit, I could still taste it sometime after finishing it!Thoroughly recommended!

It could be the long wait in anticipation for Cabosse to reopen after lockdown, but their pastries tasted even better than ever (if that's possible). They look fantastic and taste incredible.

We always try to call into Cabosse if we’re near Warkworth but for a variety of reasons hadn’t managed to visit since Sept the previous year. Since we’d last been they’ve had a refit and the place looks even better than before. The signature hot chocolate is still wonderful and the proprietor Louise one of the nicest people you could meet. Obviously our visit predated the Coronavirus lockdown and I really hope that they come through the other side as small local businesses like Cabosse which offer something unique are to be cherished.

Cabosse has always been a lovely place to visit. It has just got better in my opinion with a very sympathetic makeover applied to the interior. The chocolate, handmade, by a trained chocolatier on the premises, is still as good as ever, in my opinion. Handmade pastries, in particular the choux pastries are quite sublime.A delightful tea room at the rear adds to the experience. The service is knowledgeable and attentive. A classy place to sample classy food.

We have been visiting Cabosse for many years to taste and take away many of the delicious foodstuffs on offer.Croissants in a morning, homemade filled croissants for lunch sometimes too. The chocolates made by the proprietor are divine, in my opinion. Such a huge selection as well. Due to the season we had Vin Chaud, it tasted better than any we have had in France. Finished off with a stick of cinnamon to provide extra taste. The shop is not open on Mondays and Tuesdays usually.

We went to warm worth, and had a coffee at the Cabosse it was great, Aldo I bought some chocolates for my daughter in law, she said they were the best ever chocolates she had had.The people were so pleasant, it is well worth a visit, also a walk up the hill to see the ruins of the castle is well worth the evet.

Great little place, found it by chance. My wife and I were visiting Warkworth and came across this fantastic little chocolate /patisserie shop. We had fresh coffee in a cafetiere and shared a Danish pastry with chantilly cream accompanied by a hand made petit four. The cafe area was a little basic and the owner seemed preoccupied and not very talkative. My wife and I would call again, possibly to take away the delicious treats next time.

I was lucky to get a table. I had the hot savoury croissant followed by a mouth watering rum baba. Add in a couple of cups of good coffee and you have a very satisfied customer.

Saturday November 2, having just enjoyed a stroll on Warkworth beach on a beautiful sunny morning my friends and I were ready for a tea/coffee to complete our walk from Warkworth Castle.I had seen Cabosse on Trip Adviser and suggested it to my friends.It is not the largest of premises, and there were six of us, so I asked if there was a table for us.The staff told us “give us a minute and we’ll organise a table for six” - great!!The “experience” we had at Cabosse was Excellent in every respect - the surroundings, the smiley staff, the food/drink, the service, even the music.I cannot praise Cabosse enough!!It was a great way to round off a morning/lunchtime spent discovering a lovely part of Northumberland with best friends.If you do not visit Cabosse - it will be your loss!! (hey, that rhymes!!)

My wife and I came here last Sunday morning feeling 'tired' from the previous evening, and the very indulgent hot chocolate with Chantilly cream and Glayva, served with a scone and butter, were just the thing to reinvigorate me. A very top-end beverage experience in a relaxing environment. Just the thing to make you feel pampered.

My wife and children had visited Cabosse several times on previous holidays and always sang its praises. This was my first visit. It's a small, cosy establishment on the main road of the town, in the shadow of the castle. It is comprised of the shop and counter to the front, with a small seating area, with another small seating area in a rear room. The staff were vet friendly and attentive and we were swiftly seated in the back room. On this occasion we only had hot chocolate and an almond croissant, though the rest of the menu does look tempting! The hot chocolate, put simply, is wonderful. With or without the generous serving of cream and marshmallows, it has gone to be one of the best I have tasted. Both my children would contest that it is the best hot chocolate in the world! If you are in the area, this little gem is certainly well worth a visit!

We went for morning coffee and it was discovered that they do an espresso chocolate. This is perfect if a whole mug is too much and the quality of chocolate used means that it is very, very rich. I was advised by my companions that none of it had any calories at all so that's a bonus.The chocolates and cakes they sell in the shop are also splendid and it would be churlish not to take some "presents" for whichever fictional maiden aunt you can invent. If you go to Warkworth do not pass this place by.

Cabosse sells ice-cream and chocolates at the front and has a tiny tea room hiding at the back. We were fortunate to find they had space and enjoyed a special chocolate 'sample' plate with a mini-dessert, pastry and hand made chocolate. Delicious. Friendly service too. The only thing I would change is to know which chocolates were being served when they were presented.

A little touch of class is what you find when dining at Cabosse. Louise and her staff are very polite and are always looking out for their customers and anticipate your needs. I sometimes just pop in for a coffee and other times I will stay a little longer for lunch and enjoy one of those magnificent pastries that Louise makes. No chance of staying slim here, but life is too short to miss out eating here. Intimate dining room at the rear of the shop, which takes you back to a time gone by.

Not only excellent selection of chocolates - to which you can also add an in-house bouquet of flowers but delicious eats both savoury and sweet. Friendly and welcoming. Loved it and the ice-cream I departed with just topped off my visit.

Serves really great ice cream with lots of choice of flavours. Also hot chocolate that is sublime. Will return.

Spotted this small patisserie/tea room when out and looking for a snack/cup of tea.

A small chocolatiers& cake shop with a 1940's themed cafe in the rear of the premises this place excels in chocolate. Whether a drink,sweet or ice cream this place does the business. I had a knickerbocker glory & a hot chocolate to,wash it down. Needless to say I was full.

Saw this on Trip Advisor when looking for a coffee shop before visiting Warkworth Castle. Easy to find on the main road through Warkworth. Parking nearby though busy there is a "proper" car park by the river a bit further down past the Church. It really is a superb chocolate heaven gem and my daughter is a connoisseur on hot chocolate. Coffee is also available and deliciously presented chocolate delights. Excellent for that special gift of chocs or treating yourself to luxury. This place is quite small for seating so may be full at holiday times.

A quaint cafe with 40s music playing in the background. The small cafe space was decked out to look like a parlour. The pot of tea contained teabags not loose tea. The price was reasonable.

This place is something else! The cakes and pastries are wonderful - you can see the care and attention that goes into everything here - and such friendly service from someone who is passionate in the true sense of the word. I went in initially to ask if they sold ground coffee - no, they don't ..."but if you're stuck, I can help". That is friendly and helpful service but of course, this can only be enhanced by the amazing cakes and pastries - delightful in every sense!

Gorgeous proper hot chocolate in the cafe area to the rear of the shop. Friendly service from someone who appreciates chocolate even more than me!

Cabosse is a delight to visit. First class presentation, little extra touches, and Louise’s pastries, petite fours, savouries are a delight not only to the taste buds but to the eye as well. Her handmade chocolates, well, what a treat they are. Buy them and hide them away to relish on your own!!!!!

Such a shame because the coffee and cakes were delicious but the atmosphere and how we were made to feel totally over shadowed that... I went in with my 3 children one being my 12 year old boy who wears north face and tracker pants with his nike air max trainers and my other 2 children being 8 year old twins and they are very well behaved children and me wearing a big teddy bear coat and converse just normal dressed people in my eyes... my 12 needed the loo so I said they are down in the corridor then I was told by the waitress I would have to take my 12 yr old to the toilet then out of pure shock i said to her me?? And the look of horror on my sons face that he needed his mam to take him to the toilet so when I got up to take him I was told it was incase he broke something (you don’t go to what looked like a nice place for a hot drink to be pre accused) my reply was he is very well behaved and wouldn’t break anything....,all I can assume is that because my son dresses like every other pre teen( normal) than they are clearly labelled as vandals and go around breaking things... never have I ever been somewhere and told I would have to take my 12 year old or 8year olds to the toilet because they might break something and been made to feel like we just don’t belong there....I won’t be back

We had the richest creamiest hot chocolate ever. The cakes were also very good quality as were the chocolates that we bought to takeaway. All good quality and a great wee gem

After purchasing, and taking home a cake, I found the cake inedible, not wanting to drive back - tried to ring - no answer.

Cabosse has been part of the village for quite a few years now. It has a cafe at the rear inside but takeaway in the form of filled croissants and delicious pastries are available as well.

We happened upon here by accident and are so glad we did! Staff very accommodating. Nicest loose leaf tea I’ve had (and I’ve drunk a lot of tea!), an amazing hot chocolate which tasted like molten chocolate, and fabulous cakes. Delicious.

I arrived at Cabosse when the shop was still open but the cafe had closed. However the owner asked what I wanted and was happy to prepare hot drinks and teacake for me.I tried a filter coffee with an expresso size hot chocolate on the side; both were lovely! The shop is beautifully fitted out and good music and a nice atmosphere rounded off a relaxing sunny day in Warkworth.

I had popped in before Christmas to buy some chocolates as part of my daughter's Christmas present - she had thoroughly enjoyed them and suggested that we pay a return visit :-)

Went in morning time. Hoping for a hot chocolate but the cafe was closed and there seemed to be very little stock. Shop closed soon after we left.

We went in for coffee but decided on a cup of hot chocolate and a cafetière for one. The coffee aWas really good, and the hot chocolate decadent. Clearly the only chocolate powder that went anywhere near the drink was the sprinkle on top. The drink had been made with pure chocolate. Absolutely divine!!

Dropped in here for a late lunch, only few table. Food very good quality and not cheap but was a bit of a luxury. Staff could be more friendly but we got everything we asked for and were checked with whether we wanted anything else. Had a lot of lovely looking chocolate items, not that I tried any of them but it is clearly a good quality shop.

Called here after recommendation by other guests in our b&b.; You are greeted with the wonderful chocolate smell gorgeous selection of chocs -pricey but lovely for a special gift or treat. The cafe is situated in the back very small only a few tables. Ordered toasted teacake and coffees - no lattes here but did have decaff. Lots of healthy looking plants both inside and out. The waitress who served us was busy doing a window display when we left, another lady who I presume is the owner appeared and quite rudely asked here to clear tables. Felt like saying do it yourself! Nice place but being rude to staff is not good.

Exquisite some of the individual chocolates and deserts. But really pricey. I have been in this shop 3 times and never once raised a smile from anyone. It’s as if all the love has gone into the food and nothing is left for the customers.

Popped in for lunch mid walk. Lovely toasted Croissants with ham and cheese. Hot Chocolate was to die for. Made me want to relax into a big armchair, rather than get back out walking. Only downside was the kamikaze wasps.

Stopped in Warkworth for a bite to eat & chose Caboose- what a place to stumble upon - delightful sandwich (with probably the most generous filling I’ve ever had) - super filled croissant- delicious homemade chocolates & a petit four - Highly recommended

Lovely little chocolate /tea room, cakes, chocolates I am in heaven, it's always busy so for a afternoon tea I would suggest booking, we just timed it as a couple where leaving so managed to get a table.where offered a top up of coffee and extra water for the tea pot at no extra charge to,

Been twice, visited today and the lovely lady even killed a wasp for me - beautiful coffee, lovely crumpets, lovely croissant with ham. Thank you

We had a lovely time visiting this café. The service was excellent. The lady serving (Louise?) was polite and attentive. The food was delicious. The café itself was clean and I loved the view of the small garden (Thanks for the info. about the red grass). Highly recommended for a relaxing time.

On a recent visit to Warkworth we spent a pleasant couple of hours one afternoon enjoying Tea and Cake at this lovely little cafe. Friendly and helpful staff, amazing cakes and chocolates.

I went specifically to buy the chocolates (which are delicious) and went through to the café. What a pleasant place to relax in. The service was excellent and the toasted t cake and coffee were nicely served. This place is a real gem and well worth a visit.

On a wet Sunday morning in Warkworth, post-walk, we were looking for somewhere to recharge and relax. My goodness we found it! The most sublime hot chocolate (with brandy) and pastries. Beautiful little setting with friendly and attentive staff. A shame we couldn't stay longer, I'd certainly recommend. Felt like we popped into a little chocolatier in France!

We bought a small selection box - (but asked for 2 champagne truffle to avoid an argument!) they were delicious. We also had ice creams which were equally scrummy!

We waited for the Café to be opened on a Saturday morning (10am) and wanted to try the hot chocolate. We were not disappointed it was delicious and at £4.30 each I thought it was value for money. We had cream and marshmallows. What was disappointing was that fact that there were wasps in the lounge area (not just one). I pointed this out and was told by the manager that it was normal and none thing they could do about it. Wasps are hazards and pests. The wasps were in the shop and the lounge. I am sorry but as much as I enjoyed the hot chocolate I could not relax with wasps in the room. I was upset and disappointed with the manager tone and explanation.

The chocolates are superb, the owner is clearly very talented. The coffee, pastries etc are all delicious. It is sadly rare in England to find a first class chocolatier, this one is a real gem. The cafe is charming, like a small, independent Betty’s (though, dare I say it, better). I only wish there was a Cabosse in London. Well worth a visit if you are in Northumberland, we all left thoroughly satisfied. The people of Warkworth are very lucky to have this on their doorstep. Warkworth is also a delightful location.

Bought cinnamon whirl, pain au chocolate, plain croissant and a chocolate almond croissant to take out. Cost about £8 in total. All made there that morning. All delicious. Chocolate almond croissant was £3.50 but so sooo worth it ! Such a treat when on holiday !!

Yummy chocolates and plenty of cakes in a counter. Ice cream counter aswell with a of variety flavours. We tried the passion fruit and cherry brandy chocolates which were nice and something different to try!

Met friends here for tea last week. It’s a tiny cafe behind a specialty home made chocolate and snack shop. I ordered a specialty tea and my friends ordered others. We were all delighted with both presentation and service. Later we decided to try their ice cream treats. My pistachio was presented in a dish and was creamy and delicious, my friends tried others in sugar cones and they too were very happy with theirs. They sell cakes and croissant sandwiches too. I’ve sampled these in the past and all are very good. Prices are competitive too. Pity it’s so tiny, but it all adds to the cosy, friendly feeling.

Me and my wife stopped and had a coffee and desert in there it has to be said the chocolate pudding they serve was better than any French fancy you could get in Paris , ambiance setting inside good friendly service and a good selection hmm taste good

Very tasty cakes and excellent service. Very accommodating. Excellent presentation. Will always get my cakes from Devine Cakes

This was a little gem. Absolutely beautiful cakes which are different every day. Fantastic range of tea and coffee and beautiful surroundings. Very relaxing and very friendly staff. Only small but well worth a visit.

I just love this little place , the cakes are so good . We make a special trip here . It's just on the main road but you'd easily walk passed as the sitting area is out of sight if you look in .

We found this delightful cafe completely on the off chance and what a treat!! Small tea shop at the back of the shop and the most delicious food. We had the the small cakes and handmade chocolate with tea or coffee.

Whatever you do don't miss this little gem, probably some of the best patisserie I've had, truly delicious.

We called in here for a mid-morning hot chocolate and to share a chocolate almond croissant. The hot chocolate was sublime, only surpassed by the unctuous croissant. Devilishly decadent springs to mind.

Wonderful place. Chocolates and cake excellent. The service was good we only went to buy chocolates and cake

What a great find - chocolatier, cake & coffee house. Enjoyed the coffee & hand made chocolate. A warm welcome & very relaxing atmosphere Highly recommended.

We went to Cabosse on 4 occasions whilst staying in Warkworth and was treated to some excellent tea, nice food and good service in a relaxed atmosphere.

We called in for morning coffee; two adults and two children. Nothing was too much trouble, including a cup of gently warmed milk for out 18mth old son. The hot chocolate was divine and easily up there with any we've had in Bruges. The Cafe Gourmand is a real treat and an absolute must if you are visiting. I need to go back and try the chocolate-almond croissant, next time!

It's a cafe and patisserie/chocolatier that makes all of its own produce. The great and the good of Warkworth come here for breakfast too but don't let that put you off, they'll welcome everyone the same.

Called in here after visit to Castle and glad we did. I had the Chocolate Gourmand which was one of the best drinking chocolates I’ve had. It also came with additional chocolates, petit fours etc. Delicious. My wife had a filter coffee and this was superb. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend to chocolate lovers!

Our first impressions were a little strange as the front shop was full but the room to the rear was empty. We probably upset some etiquette by sitting down and the waitress seemed slightly surprised that we should have been there. However it was noon and we were hungry. We were offered the menu and we ordered a filled croissant and a filled sandwich. We also asked for coffee which was bubbling away in the corner.The coffee was served but then the waitress disappeared to be replaced by the lady from the front shop who served our food. The coffee was wonderful and the food was quite delicious and well worth what we paid. We never saw the waitress again but there was much chopping going on in a room marked 'Staff only' to the rear. The shop does provide items for weddings and events and I suspect that something like this was being prepared!! I would award excellent normally, certainly for the food and coffee but the service was just all a bit strange.

Lovely cakes! Chocolates a little pricey. But very good quality, and service. Would recommend to others.

Was visiting Warkworth for the first time and needed a coffee break. What a gem of a find. Staff very friendly. Very clean and tidy. Had already eaten so only ordered a coffee. Very good coffee....had a refill and it only cost £2. Lovely well kept little garden out back to look at. Food looked fresh and delicious. I would certainly go back to this little gem.

Our party of four, weary after walking down from the Castle and around the town, decided on this venue for Coffee and we were glad that we did !

called in for brunch, very welcoming, dog friendly, had beautiful fresh warm croissant and toasted teacake, tea and coffee, pleasant surroundings and very helpful staff, will defiantly go back

This is probably the best hot chocolate on the planet. The ham rolls in lovely focaccia bread were also a real highlight.

This is a patisserie, chocolate shop & tea room. I had the Cabosse cafe gourmand (£5.60) which consisted of a pot of tea, a mini Danish pastry, a fresh cream petit four and a handmade chocolate. My husband had a coffee (£?) and a creme brûlée (£3.95). All was well presented and satisfied the sugar craving!The staff were polite and helpful.We also bought a box of the handmade chocolates (8 for around £11) which we are currently savouring!

The service was friendly and warmThe tea good, and good selection of cakes / pastries from the shop at front

You might not realise there is a Tony, delightful cafe behind the cake cabinet. Extremely high quality, delicious and addictive. Very good hot drinking chocolate, rum baba, pastries, creme caramel and beautiful petit four. A bit of a treat. Very unusual ice cream flavours. Nice gifts - if you like chocolate (I do). Exceedingly friendly staff

First of all this is not your average tea shop and prices are quite high - however, quality of the sandwiches, quiches and croissants are excellent. Coupled with the artisan chocolates (very pricey) and delicious ice cream this is a cut above the average for Warkworth.

Called in for a tea and coffee on a rainy day and very happy with the service and the atmosphere in the small seating area.

Shopped here on a few occasions and always a delight for sweet and savoury treats. Also has a little eating area.

A charming and well kept café with a wonderful selection of hand made chocolates, mouth watering cakes and savouries as well as some of the best ice cream I have tasted - well worth a visit.

Lovely wee coffee shop in which we had the best quiche ever! The emphasis here is on chocolate in all its forms but there are also light snacks available.

we don't usually review tearooms however we decided that this little spot deserved a comment .Lovely atmosphere good cup of tea and very nice crumpets What more could you ask for after a super beach walk
