Cocoa Mountain BALNAKEIL

Not usually a Hot Chocolate fan. But this one was delicious and I'd recommend. The pastries were still warm when served. Very nice little stop.

The hot chocolate was welcome after a blustery walk, although it's a shame they only had takeaway cups. We also bought eight individual chocolates to take away, and they were absolutely delicious. Some of the best chocolates I've ever had. Buy hot chocolate + 4 chocolates for £7.95, the individual chocolates are really worth it.

Fantastic service and even better drinks. They say it is the best around, well the three kids I took along agreed, oh also my wife who loved the dark chocolate drizzled on top of the hot chocolate. Great place to visit and enjoy a drink...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing coffee shop! Cocoa Mountain is a hidden gem — super cozy, incredibly welcoming, and best of all, dog friendly! Our pup was treated like a VIP, which made the experience even better. The real highlight? The hot chocolate. Easily the best I’ve ever had — rich, smooth, and packed with flavour. You can tell they put real care into what they serve. Opt for the chocolate chaser and you can also try four delightful bespoke chocolates to share. Staff were friendly and helpful. Perfect stop whether you’re a local or just passing through. Highly recommend for chocolate lovers and dog owners alike!

Great hot chocolate and mocha available. Great seating outside during the summer. Chocolate snacks and desserts available as well. Great amount of seating available. Would definitely be back for the hot chocolate if ever back for the NC500 drive.

I visited cocoa mountain 5 years again whilst cycling the NC500. Having been cycling in the rain all day this was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. I went back today after walking the Cape wrath trail and again the hot chocolate was incredible. Also they are very dog friendly and even gave my dog a treat. I can't wait to come back after the next adventure.

David was an absolute star - fantastic with our two kids and even let them add the chocolate to their own hot chocolates, which they absolutely loved. A real credit to the place. Hats off to you, sir - keep being your brilliant self. We shared two adult hot chocolate chasers, a chocolate croissant and a rocky road, and picked up some chocolate treats to take away. A cracking little stop for a chocolatey breakfast fix.

Ordered a mocha and a hot chocolate. It was really good - a bit expensive but a nice treat! Also, dog friendly!
