- M Gilmore193 contributionsAmazing Hot ChocolateWe've been buying the chocolates from this lovely little company for years so were delighted when a proper cafe/visitor centre was opened. It's small but perfectly formed, with seating inside for about a dozen people and more outside (for when it's dry). The location is great, with stunning scenery and a decent amount of parking. It's on the main route to Kyle of Lochalsh, so easy to get to as well. The hot chocolate here is amazing and well worth stopping for. Between us we've tried all the different flavours and all of them get a 10/10. On our most recent visit hubby was particlarly taken with the Golden Hot Chocolate. There's a wee shop inside too, with local knick knacks as well as their chocolate bars and boxes of chocolates. There's a slightly discounted price if you buy 4 bars (it would be rude not to...). As locals it's also nice to see it open outside of 'tourist season'.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 3 October 2023
- Dante S3 contributionsSimply the best!Amazing choclate, might be the best I've ever had! Recommend the Haggis Spice. Great story behind the business, it's much more than just the product. Beautiful location. We stopped in for a coffee on route to Skye and have had to order more choclate as soon as we got home.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 25 April 2024
- heklaranAkureyri, Iceland20 contributionsSmall and cute place with good coffee and lovely staffLovely staff!! They have a fun variety of chocolates at a good price and the coffee there is great aswell, worth a visit for sure. The place is very small and you won’t teally be going in there to look around for long, there is shelves and one table of items and chocolates for sale aswell as around 5-6 tables to sit at (around so). Nice spot for a quick coffee break and have a toilet so extra point for that!Visited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 4 June 2024
- Tash CGlasgow, United Kingdom123 contributionsChocolate pit stopThis family owned chocolate pit stop in the highlands is fantastic. Plenty of free parking. They serve hot drinks, cakes, and most importantly, chocolate. We got 4 of their individual chocolates for £5. I tried the sticky toffee pudding chocolate (genuinely tasted like a sticky toffee!) and the pecan chocolate with salted caramel (delicious). You can purchase boxes and slabs of chocolate as well as locally made gifts like soaps and jewellery. The chocolate boxes were quite pricey but you can literally see them being made through the window in the gift shop so it’s worth the splurge. The chocolate itself is so thinly casted and tastes fantastic. Finlay’s story (owner and chocolatier) is super wholesome and the family feel of the entire business really came through. I can’t comment on the hot drinks but I thought they were reasonably priced and looked to be served quickly by the staff. Worth a 30 minute stop if you’re on a road trip!Visited August 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 29 August 2024

We visited several times last year, enjoying hot chocolate, cakes, soups and sandwiches. On our first visit this year we found that, unfortunately, soups and sandwiches are no longer available. Our main concern however was the attitude of the 'senior', older, female member of staff who was brusque and aggressive to the point of rudeness. However when two tour buses of visitors arrived her attitude to them was markedly different! It leaves me wondering if the focus of the business is now purely aimed at the 'single visit' mass tourist market rather than repeat visitors like ourselves. Most disappointing.
The hot chocolates were however very good and served by a very polite young waitress.

Great wee location to charge the car. Especially in the afternoon when they serve delicious soup and lovely toastie combo for a fiver.
Coffee and hot chocolate highly recommended.
As you sit, enjoying your lunch / coffee, you can watch the chocolates being made through the two large viewing windows.
Definitely worth a stop 👍

Superb hot chocolate (the dark is the winner in our family) and great service. A lovely little cafe experience and you can see them making their chocolates while you wait.
There’s a nice walk to a view point looking over Loch Durish just behind the campsite beside the cafe. Ask the staff, they can point you to it.

We stopped for a sweet break
Hot chocolates with cream and marshmallows are just excellent
They also make handmade chewable chocolates, which are also very good.
A great address for good products and a good time

Was staying with friends at the Cluanie Inn down the road and popped in for a coffee while my EV was charging outside (50kw charger), what a lovely little coffee and chocolate shop!
Amazingly friendly staff, who let me try a few pieces of chocolate whilst I was having my coffee and I ended up leaving with a bag full! - had a lovely chat about the local area and was well looked after
Well worth a stop if you’re in the area

We stopped here for a break on a journey from Skye, and received a warm welcome from friendly staff in the coffee shop. The views from the cafe are stunning. They have a good range of their delicious chocolates, and other locally produced food, drinks and cards, as well as beautiful sea glass jewellery.
