Cocoa Mountain BALNAKEIL

Well worth a visit if you're in the area, the hot chocolate is really good. The chocolates are possibly the best I've ever eaten. Smooth, delicious, just 'wow'. We both opted for the drink with four chocs combo, and I'd definitely recommend it. Do few more steps tomorrow.

We visited for their hot chocolate — I was sceptical initially but it truly was fantastic. Smooth texture, not overly sweet, not too bitter. Worth the slight detour to stop for this! It was fairly priced. We also had their rocky road slice and chocolate croissant - everything was very good.

Straight up some of the best hot chocolate and coffee we've had! We got 1 regular Mocha and Hot Chocolate with oat milk. Both delicious! Also pet friendly so you can bring your dog inside 😃

Beautiful spot tucked away in the mountains for a hot chocolate, some Chocolates and pastries. We order the the classic hot chocolate, a kinder beuno croissant, and a selection of chocolates. Blueberry (very tasty!), chocolate orange, chocolate ginger, and marzipan and they are great. The croissant was a tasty treat. Just off the NC500 and well worth the stop.

Apparently "the best hot chocolate in Scotland", maybe so... definitely way above the standard one gets in Scotland, but I haven't tried them all. Definitely not the best I have tried! I like their style, different chocolates go into the hot chocolate and the consistency is very smooth. But I left thinking I wanted more of a rich chocolate taste! The wee chocolates they sell are tasty and moreish! A nice place to stop for chocolates and a warm drink!

Love Cocoa Mountain chocolate so much. First tasted in Dornoch then stumbled across this one. Hot chocolate is amazing and so are the chocolates. Bonus, they allow dogs in the cafe 🤗

Stopped here for a much needed break from the Scottish summer weather (gale force wind accompanied by horizontal rain). 😁 Awesome coffee, hot chocolate to die for. Superb cakes. Dog friendly and, quite simply, the most lovely staff. Highly recommend stop for the NC500. You can nip next door to the craft village at the same time.

We visit this place for first time and our experience are good but we expect little bit more... the best part of the hot chocolate was the melted chocolate on top ..the hot chocolate on his own wasn't that great...overall is it cute little shop and DOG FRIENDLY! got lots souvenir for friend and family...good for gifts! #NC500
