About Cocoa Joe's

A Haven for Hot Chocolate Lovers in Pateley Bridge

Step inside Cocoa Joe’s on Pateley Bridge High Street and discover a cosy haven dedicated to creating the very best hot chocolates. This tiny independent café has become a favourite with locals and visitors searching for rich, handcrafted chocolate drinks and a genuinely warm Yorkshire welcome.

Famous for a reason

For a tiny place in a small Dales town, Cocoa Joe’s has built something of a national reputation in the six years since opening. It’s been featured on ITV, been described by the Daily Mail as “..the country’s best hot chocolate”, and been covered by Channel 5, the Express, TimeOut, BBC Countryfile and many others. People also make special visits from far away.

Handcrafted Chocolate Drinks Made With Real, Single-Origin Chocolate

Cocoa Joe’s specialises in hot and cold chocolate drinks made using only the highest-quality solid chocolates sourced from around the world — never powders or shortcuts. Each of our many chocolates has its own distinctive flavour profile, and we love helping you find the chocolate that suits your taste; whether you prefer bold and intense, smooth and creamy, fruity or earthy notes, caramel or nutty. Loads of vegan options too.
