Hotel Chocolat has opened its 29th café within its new Derby store in the Intu Derby shopping centre.

The retail chocolate brand currently has one more café lined up, to open in September, MCA has learnt.

The café sells a range of hot and cold drinks, such as Hot Chocolat’s, Coffee Chocolat Lattes and Teaolat, as well as snacks such as brownies, Cocoa Nib Beef Jerky and Mayan Warrior Granola.

The Derby site will also feature its new cocoa nib Ice Cream of the Gods, which is sold in select stores only.

“With our retail stores now we are almost always adding our Ice Cream of the Gods machines in so they all have that additional element,” said a spokesperson for Hotel Chocolat.
