Knoops

In the last year, hot chocolate has become a big part of my life so when @knoopschocolate opened and declared they had 22 different variants, I was only more than happy to come and visit at their new store in Brighton!

The chic stylish store is the 5th store to open nationally and launched 8 years ago in Rye. It looks great and very inviting with its sit in and takeaway chocolate drinks on offer from milkshake to iced chocolate to hot chocolate and then pick the variant of chocolate you want starting from the very sweet 28% White Chocolate to the very earthy 100% Cocoa and 20 different variants in between! You then finish by selecting extras to go with (optional) which can be anything from herbs and spices to Curtis flavours and of course cream and giant marshmallows (which they make themselves in their factory!) They also do some lovely baked goods too!

The staff were great at advising what ones I would like and suggests different flavours that I would never normally put together (white chocolate and lime!). I also told them that I love mint chocolate and they then produced the most delicious peppermint hot chocolate made with 64% cocoa which was perfect blend for mint! I also tried the hot chocolate with orange and the milkshake with ginger and I was really impressed with them as they aren’t flavours that I would usually put together! Really impressed with the level of chocolate knowledge by the staff!

There is also the option to purchase some hot chocolate to take home with you and their are recipe cards on the side for you to take as well which I thought was a fantastic idea! Each month they have a ‘Special’ which I would highly recommend trying as I tried the last two months ones and they were really good!

I think this shop in The Lanes is great and a lovely addition to an area that is seeing a lot of closures. I’m looking forward to checking this place out more when I’m in the area and trying more of their fantastic chocolate drink offerings!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
