After opening their first shops back in 2013, Knoops has melted the hearts of York, especially during the Christmas Market period.
With over 20 different percentages of chocolates available, 6 of which are available over ice or milkshakes, this unique store is a must stop shop.
So, which percentage of chocolate are you? Lets find out…
My First Impressions
Taking over the former Boots store Knoops on Parlament Street, York, making it an ideal spot during the Christmas season.
The attraction has drawn the attention of festive visitors, and the long queue speaks volumes.
Despite facing competition from other hot chocolate vendors nearby, Knoops stands out with its sleek design, cozy indoor seating, and an impressive variety of high-quality chocolate percentages.
But was it worth waiting in the queue?
My Experience At Knoops York
Waiting in line turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me. With so many chocolate percentages to choose from, I found myself overwhelmed and didn’t want to risk ordering something I wouldn’t enjoy.
Who really knows their favorite chocolate percentage without trial and error?
Luckily, I overheard the people in front of me discussing a “Knoops Quiz.” It turns out Knoops has a quiz designed to help you discover your perfect chocolate match.
I learned that I’m a dark chocolate lover, and when it was finally my turn, I opted for the 70% chocolate milkshake to takeaway.
Wow! That’s the best way to describe it. The rich chocolate flavor was an explosion of taste from the very first sip.
I completely understand why they don’t offer larger sizes as it was a delightful chocolate overload that left a lasting taste. If you’re a true chocolate connoisseur, this is definitely a must-visit!
How Much Did Knoops Cost?
I ordered a small 70% chocolate milkshake to take away, which cost me £5.50. At first, I thought it was a bit pricey for such a small cup, but the quality of the drink is unmatched in York.
While it’s not a place I see myself visiting regularly, it’s definitely a must-try for anyone exploring the city.
