LUXURY hot chocolate brand Cocoba will open its first chocolate café outside London at Bluewater this autumn.

It will be only the second Cocoba in the UK, and it will serve luxury hot and iced chocolates made from real Belgian chocolate, hand-roasted artisan coffee as well as cakes, pastries, savouries and a full range of chocolate products.

Cocoba founder Darren Litton said: “Bluewater is going to be a great location for Cocoba.  Its quality, profile and success create a very strong platform from which Cocoba can grow.  We are very excited to introduce our brand and products to Bluewater’s guests.”

The 1,050-square-foot café is due to open adjacent to John Lewis early autumn.
