Cocoba Chocolate

Love this place always cone here for something chocolate be it cake, fondue or just chocolate pure choc heaven. Also love the tea here.

I love chocolate so this is my dream come true. It’s complete and utter HEAVEN. So. Much. Chocolate. SO MUCH.
So Cocoba has been around for a couple years now and sells a range of chocolate treats and truffles for you to buy as gifts for other people (or yourself if you’re me…) but it’s also a café that sells ALL the chocolate things.
Hot chocolates with a range of flavours, from orange to hazelnut to raspberry to mint to caramel. Iced chocolate drinks with added oreos and more, chocolate fondant, chocolate fondue, chocolate waffles, chocolate truffles and then savory food to counteract the chocolate, like soups, paninis, croissants and sandwiches.
I needed cheering up after a bad week so Matt R took me here for a treat. And I went to town.
We ordered the soup of the day (tomato and basil), a ham and cheese panini, orange hot chocolate, oreo iced chocolate, a raspberry iced tea (the drink of the month), two salted toffee truffles and a chocolate waffle.
I have no complaints whatsoever about any of it. The panini was pretty good, hot gooey cheese, tasty ham and crispy bread. The soup tasted like spaghetti bolognaise sauce and actually had loads of flavour, which is rare for tomato soup. And the waffle… oh, the waffle. Be still my beating heart. A fluffy waffle, COATED in melted milk chocolate with vanilla ice cream, strawberries and bananas on the side to mix and match as you please. The whole thing left me twitching on a sugar high but I have no regrets at all.
The raspberry iced tea didn’t have any profound tea flavour but it’s just what you need to cut through all the chocolate on the waffle. If you’re ordering that, definitely order one of their iced teas or lemonades. You’ll need it.
All in all, Cocoba has hop, skipped and LEAPED to the top spot in my favourite chocolate spots ever. And trust me, that list is a long one. I’m a chocolate fiend. The savoury food is great but it really shines in that area. If you’re in Bluewater and about to head to Starbucks or Costa or even the food court for lunch, I urge you, don’t. Come here instead. You won’t regret it!

Nice little café type shop nestled in one corner of Bluewater Shopping Centre, hadn’t been there before. They sell a range a coffee, teas, cakes, and many varieties of chocolates in small bags (very similar to the way Hotel Chocolat package their chocolates), my Latte even had a nice pattern made out of the froth (See my Picture) plus fresh sandwiches and the shop has a variety of nice designs and icons dotted around the shop (see my pics), I think I would go back there again when I go Bluewater, I recommend this place if you go to Bluewater and seems a lot less busier than all the other Coffee shops there if you are really thirsty and needing quenching quicker!
