description York Cocoa Works Overview
help York Cocoa Works FAQ
Where is York Cocoa Works located?
York Cocoa Works is an independent chocolate manufactory at 10 Castlegate in York, England. It makes and sells chocolate in York rather than being the same business as the large Nestlé factory on the city’s outskirts.
Does York Cocoa Works make chocolate from cocoa beans?
Yes, its process is bean to bar: makers roast, winnow, and refine cocoa before hand-crafting bars, truffles, and hot chocolate. Its collection includes single-origin chocolate bars and a dedicated hot-chocolate range.
Can visitors make chocolate at York Cocoa Works?
Yes, it offers a manufactory tasting journey, chocolate-bar workshops, truffle-making sessions, and bean-to-bar masterclasses. That makes it both a working production site and a learning venue, not just a shop.
Is York Cocoa Works connected to Rowntree’s Cocoa Works?
It draws on York’s long chocolate history but describes itself as a completely independent business. The original Rowntree Cocoa Works was a separate industrial factory that was acquired by Nestlé in 1988.
