We consume a lot of chocolate per year. But most of it is... sub par. Let's change that.

Welcome to Cocoa Runners! Whether you’ve been following us for days, weeks, months, or years, we thought we would do a quick recap on who we are, what we do, and the things you need to know →

❤️ We’re craft chocolate lovers & experts. Our mission is to bring you a selection of the world’s best craft chocolate. Over the past decade, our small team has tried over 10,000 bars, so the screening process for new bars is meticulous. Every chocolate product that we sell has been approved for ethical sourcing, made to the highest standards, and (very happily) tasted by us for exceptional flavour.

🍫 No matter where you’re based, you can join us for a craft chocolate adventure, guided by our chocolate experts. We host virtual tastings which you can attend from the comfort of your own home, in-person tasting sessions at Cocoa Runners HQ in London each month, and special events with guest speakers & pairings, like wine or coffee.

🌊 Exceptional flavour & savouring is at the heart of Cocoa Runners. Learning how to articulate flavour is like learning a new language. We’ve developed our very own Tasting Wave to help you articulate flavour, which we use as a tool during our chocolate tastings and masterclasses.

📦 Our monthly chocolate subscriptions have been going since we started Cocoa Runners more than 10 years ago. Choose between dark, milk, a mix of the two, or 100% - and we’ll send a selection to you every month…

🗺️ … And at the heart of these bars, are the incredible chocolate makers & cocoa farmers. We love connecting you directly to the makers of our exceptional craft chocolate bars, and supporting the farmers growing specialty cocoa beans - which is why the maker information & bean origin can be found on the product pages for every bar.

📖 Finally, we love learning. We’ve spent over a decade reading and discovering more about craft chocolate, having countless conversations with craft chocolate experts all over the world. Our ‘Chocopedia’ has the answers to all of your burning chocolate questions, and our weekly blog discusses our thoughts on the latest topics in the craft chocolate world.

Get in touch if you have questions, we love hearing from you! by @cocoarunners

📢ONE MONTH TO GO📢

In exactly one month, we'll be opening our doors for the fourth edition of the London Craft Chocolate Fair, welcoming makers from across the world to our market and bringing together experts for chocolate tastings.

As if we weren't excited enough, we've just added two more tastings to the mix -

🍫 Why Craft Chocolate is a ‘Good Mood’ Food with Tim Spector - taking place on Friday night before the Fair kicks off on Saturday

🍫 Taste the Process: From Farm to Bar - with cocoa experts, on Saturday afternoon

Or, if you just want to join us for the Makers Market, tickets for entry are just £5. Order in advance to secure your timed entry slot.

We can't wait to see you there! by @cocoarunners

The last of six remarkable bars!

We have fewer than 15 of each of these dark chocolate discoveries left. Some come from makers rarely seen in the UK; others explore origins and flavours we may not encounter again for some time.

Once these final bars are gone, we won’t be restocking them any time soon (if ever!) by @cocoarunners
