Brilliant day of chocolate making in York with my wife, with very tasty results. Great fun - we'll be coming back with the whole family in the future.

This is a wonderful place to visit. The chocolate making workshop that I did was lots of fun and the instructor was interesting, enthusiastic and patient with the participants. We were given a choice of molds for our creations. I decided on the York Rose. There were yummy toppings to decorate with. After it’s baked, you can take it home and it’s wrapped in clear plastic with a gift tag that has your name on it as the maker. Afterwards, I had a coffee in the stylish cafe. Very good coffee and friendly servers. Don’t miss going to this place, it’s well worth it.

A very interesting and informative couple of hours. The kids really enjoyed making their own chocolate bars and said that they tasted very good.

We learned a lot about chocolate and a helpful technique for tempering. It was fun to be able to customize and create your own chocolate bar. The instructor was very helpful and walks you through each step. We also enjoyed the 10% discount in the cafe and sampled a variety of lovely chocolate drinks.

Great family experience. Easy to enjoy for all ages. Our group was from 40's to 80's and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Very informative and would definitely go back and take my young grandson.

My family of four were really looking forward to this chocolate experience where we thought we would learn about coco, tempering chocolate, the origins of chocolate and generally all that they promised on their website. We paid £90. To start we arrived on time and had to wait 15 minutes hanging around in the shop, uncomfortably hovering.When we finally entered the chocolate making room we immediately felt overcrowded and by their own admission the class was over-booked. The guide then gave us a *brief* (and by brief I mean very brief) overview of where coco comes from and talked about chocolate making (a bit). The guide kept pacing around the room and I could barely understand what she was saying partly because of how over booked the session was. We were able to try little squares of chocolate:dark,milk and white but were immediately told that white was unavailable to make on the basis of price.Given that one of my members wanted to make white chocolate and we paid 22.50 a head for this experience we were all astounded and disappointed by this. Coming to the actual making of the chocolate my family and I were given milk chocolate in a plastic bowl to melt with a hairdryer that was initially not even plugged in.So we melt the chocolate and are offered a type of mould to place our melted chocolate in, there are a few options of topping to put in the chocolate e.g marshmallows/sprinkles. We place it in a fridge that didn’t even have enough space to fit all of our chocolate moulds. We are then told to come back 45 minutes later. As instructed we return and pickup our chocolates. To my dismay, I find several white chocolate bars made by others and infer that they didn’t offer us it because they over booked the session and didn’t want to waste their resources on us even though we had paid full price ( 22.50 a head) for this experience. I am extremely disappointed by this experience and outraged at the extreme price they value it at. This is something you could do at home for £15 max for my whole family. The only reason I give this 2 stars is due to the bar of chocolate you got to take home. Don’t come here and waste your money.

Great day making chocolate bars at York Cocoa Works. Luke, our host, was both knowledgeable and also very good fun. The experience was interesting and the results very tasty treats to take home. The Cafe does amazing hot drinks too. Definitely recommend for a fun activity in York centre

Being with friends! It was suitable for school children not adults. A family would probably appreciate it.

Regrettably, we were so disappointed by this workshop. We were two adults and a 9 year old child. The class started late and in the meantime we were left to linger awkwardly in the corner of the cafe with barely an acknowledgement from the cafe barista. The class demonstrator was appropriately apologetic - but by this point we'd been stood in a corner waiting 10-15mins without acknowledgement (and without anything really to even look at!) The class itself was - essentially - tasting 3 small squares of chocolate and a cocoa nib, watching the man weigh some pieces of a chocolate bar (white, milk or dark, depending on which your preferred), and then melting the chocolate with a hairdryer. There was a brief educational talk at the start, but it was *very* brief: A picture of a cocoa plant and an explanation as to how the bean is extracted. No information as to how it's processed, or where it's processed. No explanation as to what cocoa butter is just that "that's white chocolate. Dark has nibs". No human story... no real origin story. We weren't even clear where their beans were from. My later question (in private, while hair-drying chocolate, as I hadn't wanted to slow down the class) was made to feel unwelcome. I just really wanted to feel that I was learning and taking home _something_ from this class. Once we'd melted our chocolate (using the hair drier to do this was the majority of the class - no over-exaggeration), we had 5minutes to make our "bar". The choice of moulds consisted of two easter options (bearing in mind Easter was weeks ago), one Yorkshire rose ("but we don't have enough of these to go round") or a square slab. The flavour-additives/options were run-through so quickly that we couldn't catch/remember half of them. There was no opportunity to taste them and we were told "pick carefully and don't put too much because if you ruin it, tough luck". Myself and my partner both chose ginger and within 1 drop of the flavour realised it was a bad choice. We wished we'd been given the opportunity to try - or at least smell - them first. It all felt so rushed. Ours did not taste good. In the meantime, my partner's 9 year old asked for extra marshmallow to add to his bar (we were sharing) and was told "this is plenty for 2 people". The person running the class just seemed a little rushed and harassed throughout. Sadly, of the 3 bars, only one tasted nice. We didn't feel that there had been any real educational value in the class, and even my partner's 9 year old said "I feel like we could have plugged in a hair dryer and melted some chocolate at home. Sorry dad". At over £60 it felt like an expensive lesson to learn, without any real educational value or welcome. I can't remember the last time I gave a bad review, but this was so overwhelmingly disappointing.

This was a great adventure. The staff was funny and welcoming. They provided a funny class and nice chocolate making experience. I attended with my teenager. The other two pairs in our class where couples. It was an upbeat atmosphere. And the instructor was extremely knowledgeable. Would recommend.
