Cocoa & Co

You will find Cocoa & Co down a quaint little mews off the High Street at the top end of Cowbridge. You can get there by turning right after Arthur John Hardware. (I had lived in Cowbridge for six months before I discovered this beautiful little mews!)
Being a chocoholic this is my kind of shop, and although expensive, the treats that they have on offer are our of this world… so, essentially well worth the extra dollar! Although i have never indulged in anything but the handmade chocs, they also sell a pretty broad assortment of other sweets, that are bought in from other cottage industries and small manufacturers. The interior of the shop is like something you would expect to find in a period film about the Victorian era… it has that other-​worldly charm going on about it!
A real delight!

I really love this shop for gift buying.
The chocolates are divine and there’s something very nice about giving someone a little bag of handmade treats.
Great for ‘stocking filler’ type gifts, but equally as good for a Saturday afternoon watching a film on the sofa and indulging.

Now, I certainly won’t say that this shop alone is worth the trip to Cowbridge, but I will certainly imply it heavily.
This is a charming little shop tucked away off the main road passing through the town, so you might not immediately see it. It’s easy to find though, and is very near the main parking zone.
The staff in Cocoa & Co are very lovely, and clearly take a pride in their products. They have a good range of handmade chocolates and gifts, but the thing that really makes this shop something special, are the sugar-​covered almonds. In all different colours, jars of them fill a wall.
These are my favourite of sweets, so I was very, very excited when I first found them. But they’re great for wedding favours, and Cocoa & Co specialise in making these up, if you’re so inclined.
