Our Story

At Knoops, we’re experts in crafting the perfect chocolate drink for our customers. Our founder Jens Knoop opened the first store in Rye in 2013. Now we have a growing estate of stores, a production factory and a growing online business.

The Knoops concept is based around our carefully curated percentage menu which offers chocolates to suit every taste and mood. We find joy in helping you to discover your perfect chocolate drink and encourage experimentation with different % chocolates and flavours in a process we call ‘Knoopology’.

This process is simple; choose your chocolate %, milk, and extra flavours like sea salt, orange zest or chilli to be made into a hot chocolate, milkshake or iced chocolate.
