Okay, a bit expensive

Was looking forward to this cafe as we planned to go here on our NC500 trip. However, it left us disappointed. Both the hot chocolate and croissant were nice but nothing special considering the price and the hype.

Cons: Drinks served in takeaway cups even when have in , Expensive for what you get

Hot choc and croissant

Had the dairy free hot chocolate with oat milk (they sell the dairy free hot choc so I checked that first as there are mixed reviews here on the hot choc being vegan). Croissant was very tasty - I recommend. The hot chocolate was a bit darl and bitter for me but others may enjoy. There were also vegan chocolates available

Pros: Vegan hot chocolate, Vegan croissant , Nice shop

Cons: Hot chocolate a bit bitter , Bit of a queue

Lovely croissant.

Their chocolate croissant served hot is divine. Their vegan hot chocolate was ok, but wasn’t melted properly when served. This was a lovely stop after a cold day out on the beach.

Pros: Croissant

Cons: No vegan drinks on the menu

Cappuccino & some little chocolates

I had a Cappuccino with oatmilk, that was quite good.
They also offered two vegan chocolates, and I really liked those.
(One was with peppermint, the other on with dark chocolate cream).

Not the best.

The server assured me the HC was vegan when made with the oat milk so we had to try it as we have HC every where we go and so feel quite able to judge if this is the best. No it isn’t. It had quite a strange taste to it.

The rose and violet vegan chocolates were very nice though.

Vegan Croissant and Hot Chocolate

I had a vegan dark chocolate croissant which was marked as such. My non vegan boyfriend ordered a hot chocolate and i asked about vegan milks and ordered an oat milk latte. I was made aware that they do in fact have a vegan hot chocolate option so went for that.
In the shop area they had a dairy free hot chocolate to purchase so can only assume it's the same formula.

Pros: Vegan baked goods and drinks, 2 vegan milk options

Cons: Vegan drinks options are not mentioned on menu

We asked if vegan hot chocolate and they said yes, disappointed….it’s not….🤦‍♀️

People were very friendly but need to tell customers the chocolate mix has milk content….

Pros: None

Cons: Only milk is vegan oat

Delicious chocolates

Really special fancy chocolates, and lovely to have six flavours to choose from! We did the hot chocolate / mocha ‘chaser’ with four chocolates, which was lovely. Soya and oat milk available. Staff great at detailing dairy free options.

Hot chocolate contained milk powder

I was so excited to try but after asking and reading the ingredients on the hot chocolate mix it contains milk powder which was disappointing. They did have some vegan chocolate and a croissant 🥐

Disappointed😒

Arrived very excited after reading reviews but was told by staff that their hot chocolate mix contains milk, despite offering dairy free milks. Plenty of dark chocolate bars etc though.

Vegan chocolate

This place is in hippie craft village Balnakeil and is very popular. They have 5 different kind of vegan chocolates and offer oat and soy milk for the chocolate milk. Also has vegan organic chocolate in the shop. Everything was very tasty, but I’d recommend sharing the chocolate milk cause this stuff is very heavy. Very friendly staff.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, Vegan items, has oat milk

No alternatives to dairy milk

Had a bracing walk on the nearby beach and entered Cocoa Mountain looking forward to a hot drink. No alternatives to dairy milk on offer. Didn't bother asking if there was anything suitable for vegans to eat

Cons: No alternative to dairy milk
