Oban Chocolate Company

We absolutely loved our visit to the chocolate shop. The decor - particularly the chocolate themed quote - were a fab touch. We tried the coffee which was lovely as well as the home made marshmallows (toasted), the gingerbread cake and some of the little chocolates. Everything tasted delicious and moreish. The cafe felt really cosy and the interior is so pretty with flower garlands throughout. Their menu was also big and there were multiple types of drinks and cakes available. The chocolate shop was also great to wander around - they have some other gifts alongside their home made chocolate. Prices were reasonable too, the shop is located right by the water so it’s a perfect place to wind down with a hot drink and soak in the view. This place is well worth a visit.

A Sweet Experience to Remember! 🍫 I visited this chocolate shop with my family, and we absolutely loved every moment of it. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for enjoying a sweet treat together. The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. What impressed us even more was their care and attention to allergies. As a family with dietary concerns, we were delighted to find plenty of allergy-friendly options without compromising on taste or quality. It was a lovely experience from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone who loves chocolate and great service in a cozy setting. We'll definitely be back!

Visit August 2025. Initially visited in August 2020 & the shop looks the same but they come with a lot of variety now. The shop is split between the chocolate shop with fabulous displays of different flavours that they offer and a café which has delightful baked good. Personally we're suckers for a good scone and a cuppa of hot chocolate; like the single origin that they use. They also offer dairy alternatives. They also had an accessible toilet which is available for everyone and is accessible to any paying patrons. Overall, the Oban chocolate company is a nice place to stop by to grab locally handmade chocolate and if we were in the area we would be paying them a visit.

The BEST billionaire's shortbread I have ever had! We stopped in to buy their homemade chocolates (which are superb) and stayed for a coffee. Boy are we glad we did! The coffee was excellent but the cakes were sublime. The custard cream biscuits were delicious, just melted in your mouth. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be back!

I arrived moments before the store was filled with a group of tourists. I spent too much time admiring the displays of chocolate, ended up ordering a hot chocolate after the tourist group. This meant it was a long minute wait before my hot chocolate would be ready. Had to cancel the order (my transport was leaving in five minutes) and settled with savoring a few chocolate candies while in transit.

Popped in for a hot chocolate, fantastic place to come and enjoy a hot drink with so much chocolate and chocolate to eat mmmmm 😆🍫 The staff are very helpful and Lovely to talk to. Fantastic cafe/shop 👌

This shop has a lot of chocolate you can buy for eating and also other treats like coffee, ice cream, and a bakery case. We ordered a strong dark hot chocolate, mocha, peanut butter and jelly brownie, and banana date walnut ninja slice. For a chocolate shop, I was quite disappointed with the hot chocolate. It tasted like it was made with water instead milk. It didn't feel very chocolatey or creamy. We thought that peanut butter and jelly brownie was good but more just brownie and peanut butter (I didn't get any jelly). We also bought some chocolate truffles/bonbons for takeaway, which were good. This may be a good stop for some chocolate gifts but the food and drink were just OK.

Brilliant Chocolate Fondue, a must try! The home made marshmallows that come with it are the best! Recommend upgrading your hot chocolate to the single origin version as they are much tastier if you love chocolate!

The options in here are amazing! We almost missed going here but I remembered reading about it as one of the things to do in Oban so during our final few hours I dragged my friends over there. Chocolatey heaven! Expect to lose some time in there though if they're short staffed. Only one person was manning the chocolate counter when we were there and there was a line to build your own chocolate boxes. Worth the wait though.

Oban Chocolate Co is a charming shop filled with the most incredible items for you to indulge in. We didn't stay in the shop to eat or have a drink, as we had just left dinner and were a wee bit full but we did peruse around and bought some souvenirs for people back home. There are a lot of different types of chocolates and candies you can buy here. Some of the molded stuff is so cute. I wanted to get a fish and chips set but it was large and I could only have a cabin bag with me this trip. Shockingly enough, especially for a tourist spot, the pricing isn't bad here at all. Everything was reasonability priced and I appreciated that (makes me want to buy more.) There was kind of a long line because the coffee/chocolate drinks here smell amazing so I'm sure they must taste amazing. We were just buying some chocolate so the lovely person working behind the counter, wrapping chocolates, was able to check us out really quickly. So nice! If we were to have stayed, there was plenty of comfy looking seating, with great views of the harbor.

Great ambiance, delicious pastries and coffee. We got there just before a Monday Morning rush and just sat in the couches and made some decisions about our travels in a no-rush situation.

Excellent chocolate and the service was fantastic - I wish we lived in Oban (though our health might suffer) - to enjoy their fantastic food every day!

A great chocolate shop and cafe. My mom and I spent several hours here one rainy afternoon a few days into our trips around Scotland. The cafe is cozy and inviting. We sat on one of the couches, where my mom reviewed the pictures she'd been taking and did some reading and I caught up on some journaling. While the WiFi was decently strong, we also had good mother-daughter conversations over tea, coffee, and hot chocolate (the chilli hot chocolate is smooth and spicy). The cafe looks out to the harbour, which isn't half bad either. We sort of overdid it with chocolates, which is easy with so many options: ordered a sampler plate and asked for a mix of dark and milk chocolates, which we absolutely couldn't eat all of. They gave us a bag to take the remainder away. The chocolates made a nice snack.

RELAXING/ ROMANTIC AMBIANCE, DELICIOUS BEVERAGES/ FOOD & AMAZING COLLECTION OF CHOCOLATES! AMBIANCE: We passed by this romantic cute little store during our walk around the harbor and we had to try this. I was very impressed with their chip decor full of various quirky slogans and whole theme was to motivate people to talk to each other and just enjoy the bliss. The sitting area is very spacious and full of huge soft couches which make it very inviting and adding to the whole theme! The chocolate shop was full of various flavors and gift boxes making them perfect for souvenirs. SERVICE, FOOD AND DRINK: You have to order at the booth. The servers were very friendly and explain you various options they have. We ordered dark hot chocolate which was made to perfection and that choco Turtle taking a dip in the cocoa was amusing to watch. We ordered spice tea which was perfectly brewed and that was accompanied by Warm waffle platter with dark and milk chocolate,fresh fruit, cream and strawberry macrons! We also bougth three different chocolate bar combo as a souvenir. Everything came out perfect and we enjoyed every bit of our time at the cafe! I would highly recommend trying this place out!

CHOCOLATE! £2 for a four chocolate taster of your choosing... OR £4.5 for 100g, or about 7-8 chocolates they say... My Asian Math Skills says it makes sense to buy two £2 tasters.

Good coffee and cakes. Chocolate is home made and delicious. Must try! The waffles are great. Nice place on rainy day. Free Wifi is available

This was probably the highlight of the various places we ate and snacked in Oban with the possible exception of the distillery. The hot chocolate was amazing and all of the little chocolates that we got were interesting and tasty. I particularly like the spicy chili chocolate. The comfy couches and view out over the water (albeit across a street as well) complete the experience. If I ever wind up in Oban again, I'll definitely be back for a hot chocolate and to put my feet up for a while.

Do not miss this place while in Oban! We stopped in on a rainy afternoon and the place was full. We ordered a six piece chocolate sampler, which entails them taking you over to the candy counter and letting you pick your chocolates to try (brilliant!) We also ordered two dark chocolate mochas. The candy is where it's at! We loved the caramello, the caramel mint and milk chocolate ganache. We weren't as crazy about the whiskey and Irish cream filled ones, though that was just a preference - YMMV. After all that candy, the mocha was just too much. It was lovely but I was already chocolate wasted. The people near us had waffles, which looked great, and I also saw milkshakes, fondue and a selection of cakes on offer. Go here. It was so worth a three hour train trip from Glasgow.

I absolutely adore this place! Love the waffles, chocolates, hot chocolate and especially the view! Great place to stop for a sweet tooth fix and nice gifts. You can also watch as the chocolates are made freshly in the back through a viewing window!

So delighted to have so many dairy free options in the chocolate realm! I've never really understood why some people think dark chocolate needs dairy. The DF hot chocolate was AMAZING!!!

Can you say you've had the best hot chocolate in all of Scotland ... well you can if you go to Oban Chocolate Co. SUPER cute place, lovely large sofas to lounge on and some cute bar stools and high tables spread around a rather large space. There is a lot of seating, but there are also a lot of people who want to taste the BEST hot chocolate in the world =) They have a full cafe with coffee and teas in addition to their wonderful hot coco's, which are made from real melted chocolate! You can get 60% or 80% dark chocolate. Plus they have an amazing ( I'm using that word a lot but that's because they are AMAZING) chocolate truffles! They have loads of different kinds of truffles and literally they are melt in your month delicious! I haven't tried their other yummies, they have cakes and waffles and locally made ice cream! They looked delicious, but as much as I love chocolate, I can only consume so much in one sitting =) O and they CAN do their hot chocolates with soy milk! Which I love since most places had some kind of milk already mixed in with their chocolate... the benefits of melting real chocolate into the drink!

The dessert here was okay, nothing over the top. Got the ultimate fondue with waffles, fruits, popcorn and shortbread. Neither the white chocolate nor the dark chocolate sauce really impressed me. In fact, the dark chocolate disappointed me a little. We got americano and latte, both were just fine. The cashier girl had a bit of attitude and we had to ask for knifes... But I imagine this place gets quite fun in the evening with live music?

Well, that was nice. We stumbled upon this romantic little shop while wandering aimlessly on a cold July evening. There was a bit of live music and a packed house to listen, with easygoing kindness displayed by all. It's a bit boutique, so things are fairly pricey, but consider it a top-quality experience with unbeatable atmosphere, looking over the bay. There is a chill wind outside, but you are sipping a dense hot chocolate and no evil can assault you here. A fleeting sense of well-being coalesces in your soul.

Wow! Simply perfect. One of the best hot chocolates I've had. They have a huge selection in this gorgeous shop and cafe in Oban. I chose a 72% cocoa Venezuelan hot chocolate, whilst Mary had a 40% Ghanaian. Both were delicious, with the option for cream and marshmallows too. We also got a cute little chocolate each too. For treats, I had a billionaire shortbread (can somebody please explain the difference between billionaire and millionaire in this context??) and Mary had a scone (obviously!). Both were delicious. The shortbread was excellent, the chocolate layer was fresh and soft, and the caramel oozed gloriously. Price is great for the quality, and the staff, ambience, and view are great too. There is also a shop section where you can buy what look like amazing products. Maybe I'll have a quick browse.....

Belinda Carlisle was right when she sang heaven is a place on earth and its in Oban. During a recent weekend away to Oban, myself and my dad's partner Rebecca decided to treat ourselves to an afternoon sugar fix at the Chocolate Company. We were spoiled for choice with hot chocolates, cakes and desserts! I went for a waffle with banana, cream and toffee sauce and a cup of tea served in the cutest purple teapot! Every mouthful was like a little slice of heaven, warm, sweet and delicious! It was the highlight of my weekend and any future trips to Oban will always include a visit here!

I still remember how happy I was to stumble upon a real chocolatier in this coastside town. The familiarity that comes from recognizing IKEA furniture that one has on the other side of the ocean is somewhat freaky. Sent a box to a friend in Preston later and she liked them a lot.

Easily the best hot chocolate I've ever had. I got the Ghana single origin hot chocolate and it makes all other hot chocolates seem a waste of my time and taste buds. I also shared a piece of chocolate cake with some friends, and it was also super tasty. I plan to go back... any time I can make it to the West Coast.

This is a great, spacious place to hang out and sip some tea or hot chocolate. Hot chocolate is obviously good-I had the dark hot chocolate and was a huge fan. Can get a bit busy, but it's a good sized cafe with a lot of seating

The chocolate we bought was good, which it should be at that price. The cappuccino was okay. A high three stars, but I won't go higher right now.

What a lovely place! You'll find a shop with handmade chocolate as well as a coffee shop. The quality of the product is very high and you can even see where all the products are made. I've tried some whisky chocolate balls: delicious!

A must stop if you you're in Oban and have a sweet tooth. Have been before and the chilli got chocolate was better than I remember. Our group had mint and strawberry ice cream, regular hot chocolate, chilli hot chocolate, and a piece of salty peanut caramel. All were great especially the chilli hot chocolate & chocolate slab! Saw some people eating the waffles, which looked very chocolatey and a big portion. Tog can also buy all kinds of chocolates as gifts. Great way to warm up on a cold day.

Lovely setting looking out over the bay and absolutely fab cakes and cookies in their cafe. You can have a look at chocolate making through a window and sample some of the chocolates in the cafe. The staff are wonderfully helpful and will even give you the rundown of what to do once you decide that you've spent too much time in what is a brilliant, brilliant cafe and shop.

Very comfortable establishment. Tables and chairs, large sofas and places to encourage conversation! We had wonderful treats and great conversation with other guests! Great location and our treats were delicious!

Fun little stop in Oban if you want something different. Kind of a mix of chocolate/coffee shop and the chocolate was great. Was there in winter and hot chocolate was great. Coffee was not bad was well. Fun spot to sit if you can get a couch or for "to go". Brownies are amazingly good too...

We decided to visit this afternoon and treat ourselves to a waffle. As I had done a 10K run on Sunday, I decided that I deserved a treat. We went into the shop/café at 4:20pm and all the tables were occupied. I did notice that the closing time was 5pm. We had a quick look at the shop section and then headed to the counter to look at the blackboard menus. Then I saw that one gentleman was occupying a table for 4 so we asked if we could sit down at the table as well. No problem, so we did. The table was very messy from previous customers. My mum looked at the menu and was deciding what to have on her waffle when the waitress came over to clear the table. She asked for her recommendation (banana and butterscotch) whereas the man at the table recommended the salted caramel. I had decided to have the special of the month. I checked with the waitress on how to order - go up to the counter. My mum was still deciding when the waitress came back and said that as it was 4:30pm, they were no longer serving waffles. Waffles finish at 4:30pm apparently! I pointed out jokingly that it was only 4:29pm. The waitress said that the manager had said that waffles finish at 4:30pm - I could see no sign/notice to that effect in the shop/café - but she then told us that we could have fondue and proceeded to show us the fondue section in the menu! If we had wanted fondue in the first place, we would have asked for fondue. What a cheek! This was 30 mins before closing time. So we walked out. ckearly they can afford to turn away custom! I am not at all impressed with the attitude of the manager. Nothing at all to do with the poor waitress. We were not rude to her, we did not have a go at anyone, we just simply decided to take our custom elsewhere.very disappointed to be treated in this fashion!!! This took the gloss off our lovely day in Oban.

Best coffee in complete Oban! You must also try their waffles, which are freshly made and the delicious. Bought some small pieces of good choclate, too. Choclate is not that cheap but very tasty compared to normal. Really lovely is the huge window front where you have a superb view of the harbour.

i love this little coastal cafe it has an amazing view over the harbor and the chocolate was brilliant, i love the fact that you pick out your own chocolate onto a little plate to take back to your table to eat, the other thing i love about this place is that you can watch the chocolate chefs making the chocolates, i must have stood there for ten minutes if not more. this little cafe is the perfect place to sit down and read as well as drink and eat some amazing chocolate.
