Cafe Chocolat in East Riding of Yorkshire

This Cafe is closed and has been for approx 3 months if not longer so your page is not very up to date

The cafe was closed when we were in Hornsea yesterday and the premises on the market. That's a shame as there are not that many traditional tea shops in town.

This was a lovely little café decorated to make you feel you are sitting on the banks of the Seine in Paris. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Quick service. Delightful atmosphere. Great menu choices but disappointed about basic the salad was. There is only one toilet for the number of seats pro rata. Bonus: a complimentary chocolate after paying the bill. Nice touch.

Took my 12 yr old twin granddaughters to the cafe as a treat on our last day of visiting family. What a treat, so pleased we saved the best till last! This cafe is such a joy from the moment you open the door. Staff are so pleasant, friendly, and very welcoming. The atmosphere is calming. Menu is spot on, plenty of choice but not overwhelming. Like the fact it offers GF choices, which I sadly still find not enough food places do. Portions are plentiful, but the proof this little gem supersedes all others is in the pudding (so to speak), wow wow wow, amazing, so so hummy, melt in the mouth goodness. And to top it all, upon settling the bill we were offered a free chocolate of choice each. Worth every penny Cafe Chocolat, we will be back later in the year. Please don’t change a thing, as it would be a shame to spoil perfection! Xx Ann Brooke and Elise, Hertfordshire. p.s Love the teapot, you should sell them!

Great food and service. I had the breaded fish with scampi and calamari. It was beautifully cooked, not at all greasy. I had crêpes with dark chocolate and raspberry sorbet (not on the menu). It was a perfect dessert. The waitresses were both very friendly and attentive. They also do a 2 course set menu for £10 which is a bargain.

Lovely place to visit, staff are so friendly and helpful. Good options and portion sizes on food and their prices are reasonable too. They have meal deals on the kids menu and adults panini & dessert deal. Food was delicious and fudge cake really yummy. Thank you

Lovely cream tea this afternoon with decaffeinated tea and coffee was good . Friendly staff too. Would recommend.

We had been here last year and had enjoyed the experience so today we returned with our daughter, son in law and black lab. We really wanted to sit together as we had met up in Hornsea for the day. Unfortunately they were busy and no tables for four diners. We were just about to leave when a friendly young man and lady came out and a couple were just leaving so the table was wiped down and put with another table so four of us could eat together. This was a lovely gesture as we don’t see each other often due to living 60 miles apart and the lockdowns. The food was lovely and we all enjoyed our meals. The service by the young waiter was excellent he couldn’t do enough for us what a credit to this cafe he is he really made our day. All the diners leaving this cafe seemed very happy. Definitely recommend. Thank You so much.

absolute mouth watering goodies and gluten free selection to try and also buy in well displayed boxes/gift packaging for take home treats and presents

Coping well with the Covid restrictions. Always made welcome. Food is quick and well presented. Will be back as soon as we are allowed!

Lovely chocolatier and coffee shop with breakfast and lunch menu and chocolate gifts for sale. Pet friendly if sat outside. We had paninis which were great. Spot on for hygiene, social distancing and service. A fabulous cafe in the heart of Hornsea. Worth a visit.

Went to this delightful cafe for lunch today. Something for everyone on the large menu. We opted for the 2 courses for £9.50. I had cheese and onion quiche with fried potatoes coleslaw and small side salad my husband the panini with corn chips and side salad. I finished with the chocolate and salted caramel fudge cake with ice cream, husband the rocky road sundae. Drinks were served quickly mine a pot of tea and husband glass of coke. Felt really safe as there was hand sanitizers a one way in and out and the staff with visors on. Total bill was £22.80 which was value for lovely food. Definitely recommend.

Our first small date was Cafe Chocolat, today we came again for our 3 year anniversary. Absolutely superb as always! Louise and Jenny are some of the best staff I’ve ever seen in any eatery we’ve been in, so lovely, friendly and attentive. Food is exceptional! Have to say as well - social distancing was perfect and hand sanitising stations well placed - felt completely comfortable! Thank you Cafe Chocolat

Very professional at these difficult times but all the safety precautions were taken we ate lunch here on three occasions and tried many different items on the menu and all enjoyed I would say the beef bourginon was our preferred dish but with specials on the lunch menu it’s difficult not to go for the two or three courses and try most dishes I would have liked a glass of wine and if they had a licence then it would have been five stars but it’s definitely four stars plus highly recommend and we will certainty return they have special five course evenings and I could see they were all sold out not surprisingly they deserve to be.

Went in here to get a takeaway hot chocolate for my son. Ordered a medium and was shocked when she charged me £3.50! Paid up and went away grumbling that it better be the best hot chocolate ever, well guess what it was! I don't know what witchcraft they perform in there but I have never tasted anything like it. My son also thought it was beyond compare and now I will have to get him one every time we pass. Well done I retract my grumble, worth every penny.

A friend and I had lunch here and really enjoyed it. The food was very tasty and well-presented. The staff were friendly.

Clean, waitress service friendly, warm and welcoming. Plus a free handmade chocolate when you leave. Lovely food, cosy surroundings. Great place to eat

Came in tonight and had a cup of tea and wanted a piece of cake! Type 1 diabetes means I have to count the carbs to know how much insulin to give per grams. The lady’s were lovely in helping me work out my insulin as the cake was home made! This has made my day to know I can rely on this cafe to help us type 1 diabetics xxx thank you xx

Love this place. Food is delicious. Hot chocolate is to die for and a hand made chocolate when you are leaving,! Just wish I lived nearer.

Visited here whilst heading back to our cottage. Ordered sandwiches and a cream tea. All nicely presented and fresh and very tasty. All finished with a complimentary delicious chocolate. Friendly staff, dog friendly outside seating area well worth visit

We visited with our grandchildren and the food was lovely, and the staff very friendly. Parking available just across the road near Heron.

Good quality home made foods. Very friendly service. The menu had something for all diet needs. Not expensive and with options to have a smaller portion at any age. Loved the free chocolate at the end of the meal.

Cafe chocolat opens once or twice a month to run a Friday evening dinner service. It books up weeks in advance but we managed to get a table for this week. This is a small, charming cafe restaurant with picture windows on two sides looking out over Newbegin. The menu is small but varied - meat, fish and vegetarian in every course. It’s a five course package for £26 and has no licence so bring your own wine. My salmon fish cake starter was bought-in but very good and well presented. The deep-fried Brie with cranberry was well received by my companions. My main course was slow cooked lamb in a rich sauce. It was a quality cut of meat, cooked to perfection and very generous in portion. Vegetables including two kinds of potato came in a side dish. I had to decline dessert but came away with a nice piece of lemon tart. My wife was enthusiastic about her lime and lemon crepes. Service was prompt and friendly. A very good meal and we will return

We had a lovely lunch here. Delicious food and friendly service. (Very handy for the nice park across the road too.)

A superb little cafe in the main street which provides excellent food whilst also being an outlet for remarkable chocolate with an overall touch of the French Cuisine. Has special nights which always seem to be very popular and on these occasions booking is essential. It would be an unusual palate which finds the food here unacceptable. An eating place highly recommended.

A very nice place for a cuppa especially when the sun is out being able to sit outside and watch life going by. Even the free chocolate after are very good

Well when I say that we were wowed by this place I mean it! The set lunch was an absolute steal at 12.00 per head and they cook things from scratch- like their soup of the day, quiche of the day and fishcake of the day! We started with a fabulous tomato soup served with a warm fresh roll, as well as an order of their nachos. Mains were scampi and fried potatoes and the smoked haddock fishcake of the day with salad and potatoes. Both healthy portions and delicious. The dessert- we both had the chocolate croissant bread and butter pudding and for my other half to say it was the best pudding of his life just demonstrates how good it was. Unctuous, warm and with a pot of cream for real indulgence, this was sensationally good and totally unexpected of this little eaterie in Hornsea.

Fantastic food and great service. Everything reasonably priced. Cream tea was best I've had. Will definitely be going back!

Only stopped for a coffee and watch the motorcycle riders go by. Service was friendly and professional, everyone looked clean and tidy. Outside seating area was comfortable and well kept. Coffee and Hot chocolate complimented by a free chocolate. We will return, lovely place. Well worth a visit.

Had a lovely light lunch in last week while on holiday with the family. Despite closing in half an hour and with the kitchen closing in five minutes they allowed our party of 6 to still come in and provided a wonderful lunch and were extremely friendly. Would highly recommend

I love this cafe! The white hot chocolate is amazing, especially on a cold day! The Camembert salad with lavender marmalade is amazing. DH always chooses lamb and enjoys it everytime. Even the crepes are delicious!! Brilliant every time!

OK if you like stodgy food. Not a light bite. No calorie information on menu. You have to wait. Not open to preparing anything lighter not on menu. Furniture is sticky to touch and you are back to back with next table. Worst of all you come out smelling of cooking fat. Not for me. Get some extractors and update your menus is my feedback.

We called into this cafe for a light lunch. Freshly prepared jacket potatoes with plenty of fillings, ciabatta type sandwiches, lovely light cake with pouring cream or ice cream. Children’s meals too. After, when he paid, my husband was offered a chocolate as a surprise gift. On a corner diagonally across the road from the Hornsea Museum in the Main Street.

First time in Hornsea for many many years. Came across this cafe, very impressed. Good choice of meals, even better choice of puddings. complimentry chocolate as we left. Friendly staff, reasonably priced.

We popped in here over the weekend while the carnival was on just to grab a drink out the rain and honestly I had the nicest hot chocolate I’ve ever had! I’ve passed so many times and never thought to try. Browsed the menu and saw lots I would like to order, will hopefully return again at some point this year when I’m at the coast again!

We have visited the cafe chocolate now for several years and each time we visit Hornsea we call for a light lunch or cafe latte

We booked for next March even before we had the meal! There are certain things that go in our diary and do not shift. We are season ticket holders at Castleford Tigers so there was a conflict when the Cas game was shifted and clashed with our booking at Chocolat. So what to do? No question, Chocolat wins (which is more than Cas did!)

I visited Cafe Chocolat on a Saturday. I arrived at around 2:30pm and felt extremely rushed from start to finish! I ordered a panini and a hot chocolate and was then also asked to choose what dessert I'd like (before I was even served with my panini!)

The name attracted me and the quiche we ordered did not disappoint. It was obviously home made and delicious. We were greeted cheerily on arrival and shown to a table immediately. The service was pleasant without being too servile and the complimentary chocolate before leaving was most welcome. We will certainly call again living only a half mile away.

Cafe Chocolat was amazing! The service was great and the food came quick and it was delicious. The staff were polite and helpful. And it's a really cozy cafe. We will definitely go again.

2 grandmas, 1 grandad, 2 parents and 1 child called in for lunch. What a choice, all looked great with a specials board as well. Best thing for me was the smaller portion option as I don't eat a lot. Kids menu as well. Wide choice plus breakfasts. Friendly staff. The cherry on the cake was a free choice on the way out! I recommend

Best cream tea scones i've had in a long time. Deliciously rich chocolate cake, and a really warm welcome. Dogs are not allowed inside, but there is a nice veranda to sit on outside and people watch.

I had a wonderful time at cafe chocolat with friends. We all had something different off the menu and all really enjoyed the meal. We will be going back again. The meals and drinks are all nice. And the added touch of a small chocolate at the end is always welcomed.

It's like they take everything that is good about rural cafes and rolled it into one. Really friendly staff, great children's menu. Kids food came first so they could start eating. Kids drinks in plastic cups with paper straws is a big plus. Good food and very reasonable prices. And obviously - fantastic chocolates, hot chocolate and desserts/cakes!! What else could you ask for? The only gripe is that the coffee was not great, but that varies I imagine.

Lovely little cafe with beautiful food and very reasonable prices , good menu and great coffee .

Amazing place to find in Hornsea! I was expecting a standard cafe but this place is amazing from service to quality of food. I had an amazing quiche and I have never tasted one as good as this. I will be returning and letting everyone know about this hidden gem!

Went here to get a hot chocolate to warm us up. The hot chocolate was delicious, really rich and creamy and when we left we were given a complimentary chocolate of our choice. Definitely worth a visit. We didn’t eat here but the food choices looked very nice and very reasonably priced.

Called in on Saturday. Hairbrush usual but not choc as good as usual. Free chocolate always welcome. Have tried the food here, desserts especially good, though did not have on this occasion

Hubby enjoyed his meal but I only ate my meat, I couldn’t believe they would spoil a tasty meal with a pile of cheap frozen potatoes on the side, even a couple of boiled potatoes would have been nice. I wouldn’t return for this reason, and I was still hungry when I left because I would never order dessert when the main wasn’t up to standard.

Must be the best cafe in Hornsea the quality of service and food and drinks are second to non.

My perspective is mainly from a hearing aid wearer's point of view. There is nothing to soak up noise in the almost open plan premises . Open doorway and large hatch through to kitchen .

My husband and I were visiting Hornsea for the first time and called into this lovely little cafe, having tried and failed to get a table elsewhere. I am so glad we couldn’t get in elsewhere because we would never have seen this lovely little hidden gem.

The only thing I will say is that from the street as you walk along it could perhaps look a bit tacky and put some of you off, but please don’t let it!

My family went for lunch one Saturday, staff are friendly and will alter the meals to suit you. Very clean and does have a WC. Which is not always the case for somewhere small.

We called here for the first time after doing our shopping as it's on the main street of Hornsea. We sat outside and with a coffee as we had our dog with us, they were other people with dogs so it was quite a friendly and chatty place. The staff went out there way to please and gave us a chocolate before we left.. Very yummy too... Thank you...

We went on a Wednesday lunchtime. the café was pleasantly full with a constant stream of people. The service was done with a smile. A very decent menu - French-orientated. The filo-wrapped king prawns and scampi were excellent. We were tempted to a dessert, which was also excellent.

Spotted this cafe whilst driving through Hornsea and managed to park outside.

What a wonderful café this is. We have visited this for the third year in a row and it never fails to disappoint. The food is excellent, cakes wonderful and already looking forward to our visit here again next year. The staff are very attentive and it is very good value for money and it is lovely to sit outside and watch the world go by while you enjoy a cup of coffee and cake.

Visited towards the end of lunchtime today. The place was busy, but the waitress found us a table, The menu had a great selection of main and lighter meals and between us we had a baked potato, a wrap, a panini, and a salad. The speciality is chocolate, and 3 of us had chocolate drinks, which were rich and lovely. The service was friendly and the icing on the cake as being asked to choose a chocolate each from their special selections. We are only here till the end of the week, but I’d love to go back and try their crepes and desserts. Worth a visit.

we called here for a drink, my wife had a hot chocolate, of which there are many ! i had coffee, and we were given a small piece of chocolate each free of charge which was very nice.

Enjoyed an afternoon of cake, coffee and chocolat! Service was excellent, very attentive. The cakes were beautiful and the displayed well. They do a cake & coffee for £4.95 which was excellent value. Our girls aged 10 & 12 opted for a chocolat crepe and were in heaven!! A complimentary chocolate could be chisen when payinb and these were amazing! Luckily I dont live local or I would be bankrupt and very overweight!! Very nice little cafe, well worth a visit.

I found the staff very pleasant and helpful nothing to much trouble, they have a good variety of food and desserts,and if you are a chocoholic well this is the place to go also you get to have a complimentary chocolate before you go well worth a visit.

I popped in one Saturday afternoon with my elderly mother for coffee.

Varied menu with lots of gluten free options, yummy cakes and desserts. Great coffee and the hot chocolate is amazing! The service was excellent, very friendly. Highly recommended.

My girlfriend and I stopped off in this venue for a quick bite to eat and loved it! The staff were very friendly, the food was great with really large portions and the iced white chocolate drink was amazing!! Would highly recommend!!

After visiting the Hornsea museum we decided we would stop in here for lunch. We had toasties, cheese burgers and pannnis. The food came out and looked lovely and our drinks were nice and cool. My daughter was half way through her panni when she found a hair on her plate. I just took it off and said oh it must have been a mistake to her and she started eating again. After another bite there was another hair on her plate and I couldn't ignore it this time. I went up to the counter and explained to the lady who then made us a fresh one. My daughter was so hungry at this point so we stayed but I checked this one over before she ate it. The lady came over and said sorry and asked us if we would like a drink on the house to say sorry which we took the drink but as we had two children we had to split the drink which is not very practical. We would not go back here as a hair on a plate is kot good at all never mind two hairs!

We've been before, we'll come again and this will be a definite place to visit on our yearly trip to the east coast.

We always enjoy the once a month special evening five course meal for £25 per head. So much so that we invited friends to join us. However, numbers are limited and we were offered a table for two but if we didn't mind they could get four chairs around it! Not a problem. We enjoyed sharing even more with good friends helped by being able to take our own drinks (no corkage). Hard to understand how a small cafe (and smaller kitchen) can produce so much excellent food?

Had lunch at this restaurant and I was impressed.

We visited for a cream tea and it was beautiful. Very family friendly.the coffee was fantastic.the scones were beautiful.

Great little cafe in Hornsea wellworth a try, indulgent desserts and lovely soups, like coming here for a treat and the free little chocolate.

Stopped for a hot chocolate and carrot cake, very good and nice friendly service. The lime creme chocolate was divine!

Food, drinks and desserts to die for. Friendly service. Food cooked fresh to order. Amazing !!!! Chocolates delicious. Would come back for sure

Stumbled across this place whilst exploring the area and very pleased with it. The food was very nice and service prompt and friendly.

Very nice little cafe! Very sweet cakes and Hot Chocolates. Staff very helpful and Welcoming! Hopefully will visit again!

Five of us met for lunch. There were three highlights for me. The soup, the joy chocolate and the free chocolate on the way out. The atmosphere and service were great. Friendly and efficient. We had s great time on a busy Saturday lunch time. Will definitely go again!

We did not go out on Valentine's Day but went out for lunch today instead so wanted somewhere good that felt like a treat. Went to Cafe Chocolat. The staff were friendly and efficient. The place is very welcoming and clean . Smart even. The toilet is clean and modern. I had Americano coffee with soya milk it was lovely . My wife had fruit tea also fine. Then we had a prawn in filo pastry starter with small salad and chilli sauce dip . This was lovely. Then I had a luxury burger with goats cheese and roast potatoes and salad . It was delicious . I ate every scrap and often I leave carbs but this lot was just too good, My wife had an excellent salad with chicken. Two really lovely course and drinks and between us it was only just over £20 . And when we paid we were given a special chocolate treat. Only negative thing was that the newspaper provided was that scurrilous rag The Daily Mail. Picked it up but dropped it fast when I saw what it was.

Hornsea is a sleepy little east coast town, great for winter walks along the beach. In winter, there's two things that will tear your decision-making capabilities: Do we go for fish and chips, or do we have The Best hot chocolate in yorkshire?

Popped in for a hot chocolate last week with sis for a catch up. As was the case on our last 'pop in' we ended up staying for nearly 3 hours... sipping our way through hot chocolate, tea, more hot chocolate, coffee and beautiful crosissants.

Sat on the balcony in the Yorkshire sunshine having a coffee while the wife does shopping. Excellent coffee and complimentary chocolate. What's not to like? Friendly staff and sensible prices. Perfect!

Whilst on holiday we ventured into Hornsea and stumbled upon this fantastic cafe. We ordered a specialist tea, a regular tea, a latte and a soft drink along with a homemade scone and an order of fruit toast. Nothing was too much trouble for the waitress. She was welcoming, polite and very friendly. Our order was delivered swiftly and was delicious. The fruit toast was to die for. Whilst in the cafe we looked at the five course special dinner menu. What a fantastic idea - 5 amazing courses for £29.95. No wonder these evenings are fully booked over the next few months!!! When we went to pay we were each offered a chocolate of our choice. The chilli chocolate was incredible. You really must visit this cafe. You won't be disappointed. Our only regret is that we don't live near enough to visit more regularly.

We had a fantastic lunch on a cold wet day. We were warmly greeted and offered a booster seat for our 2 yr old. The menu had lots of choice including a nice children's section, staff were helpful and gave us information on ingredients to cater for a dairy intolerance. The food arrived quickly and we really enjoyed it. A free chocolate at the end is a nice touch. Good value for great food and friendly staff.

The cafe is quite small but the food is good and service is too. The complimentary chocolate of your choice is a nice touch .

Great Gluten free choicse and fab coffee with a free chocolate of your choice, will definitely go there when on the east coast.

Nice food ,catered well for my fussy grandchildren ,free luxury chocolate to choose as you leave kids loved it

Finally managed to get to the monthly event held here. Bring your own drinks. Good choice on menu - nothing too exotic but very good quality nonetheless. The table is yours for the evening. Lovely, friendly atmosphere with good and not intrusive service. Need to book well in advance. Would definitely revisit.

Are here first in April whilst looking for a holiday home! Staff were very friendly and professional. I had a salad which was really fresh, the bread roll was soft and delicious, my husband pinched half to dip in his gravy! (He had sausage and mash). Called again this week ,upon completion of our holiday home. Again fabulous food , staff and gorgeous chocolates! Cannot wait to visit again when we are in Hornsea ! This place is a must to eat at

After years of trying we managed to book the "special monthly evening" 5 course dinner. It was worth the wait - and we booked again for October! Chocolat is not usually open in the evening so this is a definite "bonus" and dates are quickly booked up. The cafe does not have an alcohol licence but diners can take their own wine without any "corkage" charge (a nice touch we thought).The meal was excellent as the choices were just that little bit different and well presented. Service was prompt and friendly from staff who seemed genuinely happy to be doing something different from normal. £25 per head (plus own cheap wine) is a bargain. We looked forward to it and it exceeded expectations. Looking forward to October now!

Food quality excellent, waitress service friendly and helpful , central location in Hornsea popular with locals and out of towners.

Busy little cafe, with beautiful food and friendly obliging staff. Meal deals are available. The puddings here are mouthwatering. Small eating area outside. In my opinion this cafe is more suited to adults than children. A little bonus is a delicious free chocolate of your choice when paying for a meal. These chocolates are available to buy and make lovely gifts. There is also a fine dining experience once a month, on an evening, but book early as these are very popular. Closed on a Sunday.

I got tempted in with the name and I was not disappointed! Really lovley lady serving us, had three children (2 infants) but we're so accommodating and lovley. I had a white Hot chocolate and goodness it was delicious, good job I have a sweet tooth. We had the set menu which was really good value and everything was delicious. Such a lovley little gem in a quiet seaside town!

We popped in for a spot of lunch with friends and were pleasantly surprised. The kids all had adult meals and we all had the £7.99 two course menu which was fab! Burgers, fishcakes and panini were delicious and just what we needed after a long walk. The puddings were even better! The kids went for ice creams, crêpes and we had the apple pie, pain au chocolat bread and butter pudding and cheesecake. All the plates were cleared! Staff were really helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely go back and will recommend to others. Top Nosh!

Nice chocolate shop, serves food too, very busy so seems to have a good local reputation. Limited gluten free options available.

Arrived in Hornsea for the first time didn't know where to eat just wanted a light cheese salad. Was made to feel very welcome despite the fact it was nearly closing time. Coffee came with a complimentary chocolate, which was a welcome bonus.Very pleasant staff nice decor and atmosphere fresh and tasty food. Would go there again.
