Knoops is a specialist chocolate drinks shop at 80 Kensington High Street, close to Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. Its approach, known as Knoopology, invites every customer to choose a chocolate strength, select a milk and then personalise the drink with flavours or toppings. The result can be as sweet and creamy or as dark and intense as the customer prefers.
More than twenty chocolates span white, milk, dark milk, dark and extra dark styles. Lower cocoa strengths bring softer caramel and cream notes, while single origin dark chocolates can show fruit, spice, nuts, vanilla or floral character. The range reaches a pure extra dark option with no added sugar, giving experienced chocolate drinkers a particularly bold choice.
Selected chocolates are available as iced drinks and rich milkshakes as well as hot chocolate. Oat, almond, soya, coconut and hazelnut milks offer alternatives to dairy, with several chocolate strengths suitable for vegan drinks. Orange, ginger, chilli, cardamom, cinnamon, sea salt, mint and other additions allow customers to build a more aromatic or gently spiced combination.
Coffee, classic and spiced mochas, matcha and tea broaden the drinks menu. Vanilla soft serve can be finished with white, milk or dark chocolate flakes, while pastries and cakes provide something to eat alongside a cup. Croissants, cinnamon buns, brownies, fruit bakes and pastel de nata may appear in the bakery selection, although the precise range changes between stores.
