Create Your Own Hot Chocolate at Johns

Warm Up Your Winter

with a Create-Your-Own Hot Chocolate at Johns Instow & Appledore!

Winter is officially here, and there’s nothing quite like wrapping your hands around a steaming, rich hot chocolate while the wind blows outside. At Johns Instow, we’re making this season extra special with our Create-Your-Own Hot Chocolate experience, featuring the exquisite Kokoa Collection — chocolate that’s as luxurious as it is unforgettable. Whether you’re stopping in for a cosy café moment or picking up a takeaway for your winter walk, we’ve got all the options to make your hot chocolate exactly how you want it.

Choose Your Chocolate

Our hot chocolates start with the star of the show: chocolate. We’re proud to use the Kokoa Collection, made from award-winning, single-origin chocolate, renowned for its smooth, rich flavour and exceptional quality. You can choose from:

  • Milk Chocolate – Creamy, sweet, and comforting; a classic favourite that never fails.

  • White Chocolate – Sweet, velvety, and indulgent, perfect for those who love a lighter, creamier chocolate experience.

  • Dark or Extra Dark Chocolate – Bold, intense, and luxurious, with deep cocoa notes for chocolate purists or anyone who enjoys a sophisticated twist.

Every chocolate option melts beautifully into your choice of milk, creating a drink that’s rich, silky, and utterly indulgent.

 Choose Your Milk

Next, personalise your drink with the milk of your choice. We offer a range of options to suit every taste and dietary preference:

  • Cow’s Milk – Smooth and creamy, the perfect match for all chocolate types.

  • Oat Milk – Naturally sweet and velvety, a favourite for plant-based hot chocolates.

  • Coconut Milk – Adds a subtle tropical twist and creamy texture.

  • Almond Milk – Light, nutty, and delicate, for a unique flavour experience.

No matter which combination you pick, your hot chocolate will have a perfect, luxurious consistency.

 Choose Your Flavour Twist

This is where the fun really begins! Add a flavour syrup to make your hot chocolate uniquely yours. Our selection includes classic favourites and festive specials:

  • Peppermint – Refreshing and festive, perfect with dark chocolate for a classic “After Eight” taste.

  • Gingerbread – Warm, spicy, and cosy — a must for Christmas lovers.

  • Pumpkin Spice – Bring autumn and winter together in one indulgent cup.

  • Hazelnut – Nutty and comforting, a match made in heaven with milk chocolate.

  • Caramel – Sweet, buttery, and decadent.

  • Vanilla – Soft, fragrant, and perfectly balanced.

  • Black Cherry – Fruity and slightly tart, a sophisticated twist on chocolate.

  • Strawberry – Bright, sweet, and fun — perfect for pairing with white chocolate.

Johns Suggestions

If you’d like a little inspiration, here are some of John’s personal favourite combos:

  • White Chocolate + Strawberry = “Strawberry Cheesecake”

  • Dark Chocolate + Peppermint = “After Eight”

These combinations are tried and tested — guaranteed to delight your taste buds.

The Kokoa Collection Difference

All of our hot chocolates are made with Kokoa Collection chocolate, which is crafted with precision and care. Known for its creamy texture and rich, complex flavours, Kokoa chocolate makes every cup feel indulgent and special. Using high-quality, ethically sourced chocolate means that every sip is not only delicious but also crafted with integrity and sustainability in mind.
