Cocoa Joe's in Harrogate

Love coming to cocoajoes! I find it hard to resist going in every time I visit York. The service is so friendly and welcoming. I love the hot chocolates and the cold chocolate option. Honey I'm comb in a personal favourite. I wanted to try something a little different and the person who was helping me gave me options and let me try the chocolate beforehand. An excellent idea and I can't wait to visit again!

Absolutely superb in every way. 4 of us had different choices of tea/hot chocolate/mocha. All fabulous 👏👏 Very friendly and knowledgeable owner with the personal touch. Will return a few times during our holiday week!

Very welcome and excellent hot chocolate on a cold day. Dog friendly which was nice as many of the shops in pateley bridge are not. The quality and range of chocolate is superb. Second to none and is a must place to visit.

What an amazing cafe! The knowledge of the different chocolate drinks available is so expert! Great staff!

Came across this fantastic little Hot Chocolate shop on a Bank Holiday weekend visit to Pateley Bridge. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable - offering a couple of samples, so we could try before we buy! Still spoilt for choice and flavours - opted for a mid milk Venezuela chocolate - absolutely delicious 😋 in fact we were so impressed we visited the next day and bought another flavour before setting off on a dog walk down by the river, and before our weekend was over, made one last visit and bought a selection box to take home and try - can’t wait to get home, relax and indulge in another of the smooth luxurious decadent chocolate drinks! 😊 well worth a visit! Or two! Or more! 😃

You can choose from lots of different flavours - white, dark, milk, caramel, fruit - and ‘try before you buy’ with a taster of the chocolate. I had the Belgian Blonde white hot chocolate - best I’ve ever tasted! So good we went back for a another the next day, and bought some chocolate buttons to make our own at home. Thank you Cocoa Joes!

One of, if not THE BEST hot chocolate I have ever had! I chose the ‘Golden Amber’ chocolate to be melted into my hot drink, highly recommend. Really friendly staff, they let you ‘try before you buy’ with the chocolate before you choose which one to go into your drink. Will definitely be returning to the village especially for another drink from Cocoa Joe’s. My partner had a Golden Amber Mocha Coffee & has said “mmm” after every single sip haha

The best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. I went for dark Ugandan and my partner went for a special board milk with honeycomb. Would return tomorrow if I could. Will return for sure. Service was second to none. Informative regarding the origins and tastes. Can’t recommend enough

We must have been about 10 times now and it's still the most highly prized hot chocolate treat. Last time I had lavender added and it was divine. It is not going to disappoint and you can bring home a bag of your favourite chocolate to have on the way home. Literally what's not to love!

This was my 1st visit to Cocoa Joe’s, and it was an absolute delight. I hadn’t realised that Hot Chocolate could be so sumptuous. In particular, the taste was long and lingering, like a very decent wine. Our two hosts, Isobel and Sophie, were perfect too. Friendly and attentive, but not at all pushy. Perfect😀

Travelled here numerous times specifically for the hot chocolate. The chocolate is expensive but it's amazing. It's the best hot chocolate in the world. Today we tried the ice mocha which was also amazing. I'd recommend anyone in Pateley to have a treat. The chart outside seems quite accurate on choosing your chocolate. Then we often get a pack of buttons to take home. It is a must visit for me. It reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate factory and the chocolate that Willy Wonka describes. They use vegware too.

Highly recommended if you are in the area. Great to be able to try the different types of chocolate before choosing your favourite. Very friendly and so passionate about chocolate!

Really tasty drinks and the staff were really knowledgeable about where the products were from, what they tasted like would definitely reccomend! Lots of variety in their chocolate too.

Cocoa Joes in Patley Bridge is an absolute gem! This charming chocolate cafe is one of the best places to have a chocolatey treat in town. The chocolate hot drinks were heavenly, with rich and luxurious flavors that left us wanting more. We even tried the cold chocolate drink, which was an adventurous and refreshing twist on classic hot cocoa. Overall, the experience was so delightful that we can say without hesitation that we loved it. We were so impressed that we even returned for a takeaway the second time, even though we had a gift card for the first set of drinks. If you're a fan of chocolate, you must visit Cocoa Joes!

Found this cafe by accident passing through in the car. Decided to give it and a go and so glad we did. It’s mainly a hot chocolate cafe but the service is 2nd to none. We were allowed to taste as many chocolates beforehand as we wanted and each one was described to us. The drink is then made from the chosen chocolates which was absolutely delicious. Would definitely return if in the area.

Lovely quaint shop on the High Street, two small areas to sit. Service was fantastic, not a wide range of products on offer other than the hot chocolate, we ordered a dark Peru and a milk hot chocolate, we were offered samples first. The hot chocolate itself didn't have enough chocolate in for me. We had a rocky road too that was small and tasty. Overall nice but could be better.

Just brilliant from the moment I walked in the door. The staff are friendly and passionate about good chocolate. They helped me choose a chocolate for my drink and I also picked up a couple of bags of chocolate buttons. Truly some of the best chocolate I've ever tasted; not overly sweet so you can really taste the different flavours.

Brilliant..The woman who runs this place for Cocoa Joe is professional, well informed, friendly and will spend the time to help choose the right chocolate…we both had the most delicious Mocha in the cosy warm corner of the shop…we love to support small business’s and...

I had the chocolate from Peru and it was the best hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted. Enjoyed trying the different varieties from all around the world. The chilli and ginger hot chocolate was delightful too, perfect on a cold day.

Better than Hotel Choclat .. by far !! Had the golden amber caramel hot chocolate, tastiest ever . Ended up buying my chocolate sticks and some chocolate spread. Would recommend .

We didn’t know what to expect but the man we spoke to definitely an expert. We tried plenty of flavours and settled with 2 of the nicest hot chocolates we’ve ever had! And also buying additional buttons! Unfortunately I couldn’t wait take a picture of...

As part of our week away we visited Cocoa Joe’s. From the street it looked very small and not particularly busy - but it is a gem that is worth visiting. As the description says, you can taste their range of chocolates to decide which...

What a delightful little shop and cafe. Trading a dozen or so single source chocolates from all over the world, helpfully explained by the vendor and the large map on the wall, you can have a hot chocolate or any range of bars or packs...

Great choice of quality chocolate drinks, hot or cold. A chance to choose the perfect chocolate too from a huge selection helped make the perfect drink. The chocolate drink with ice cream in was gorgeous to say the least!!!!

First of all - take no notice of the introductory notes on TA that suggest you can only have takeaway drinks. The cafe is now open again for “sit in” customers. At first glance the sheer range of chocolate on offer can be a bit...

Visited here both days that we were at pately bridge, best hot choc ever, so much to choose from will definitely return!

Best hot chocolate we had in 4 days in York - and we tried a few. Lovely service and knowledgeable staff. They allow you try the chocolate before committing to a cup full. So much passion goes into each drink too! Highly recommend.

We got a small tasting before choosing our hot chocolates. Very friendly staff and delicious drinks. We ended up buying some chocolate to have at home.

Such a fabulously, decadent find! If in or around Pateley Bridge you must pop and try the plethora of chocolate!

Great little friendly place where you can try outstanding hot chocolate made with a variety of single source chocolate.

A fun experience with a truly delicious hot chocolate. A delightful little shop well worth the visit.

A unique experience- incredible range of tasty hot chocolates with very friendly staff happy to explain the range available. This place is a must if you are in Pateley Bridge! Don’t miss it!

Fantastic , what a find! Amazing hot chocolate and mochas( caramel gold yum) made an even better experience by such a warm welcome , a must visit!

Very good chocolate, we liked the "flowchart" that helps you choose the type you are most likely to like, and of course this would help you try variations also, very clever. Very friendly/ helpful owner, a smart business that deserves local and tourist support

Best hot chocolate we have ever tasted! It was difficult to choose between the variety of choice on offer as it all sounded so good and we noticed they also serve coffee. The friendly owner was very informative and helpful and recommended I try the...
