Chocolate aficionados will be thrilled with the latest addition to York city centre. Knoops, a brand dedicated to 'Knoopology'-the art of crafting the perfect chocolate drink, has opened its doors on Parliament Street. The brainchild of Jens Knoop, a chocolate enthusiast who founded the company in 2013, Knoops offers an impressive range of over 20 different chocolate percentages.

These range from a creamy 28 per cent white to a rich 100 per cent extra dark, and can be paired with one of nine dairy or plant-based milks. Over 20 flavour add-ons such as sea salt, orange zest, and chilli are also available. Each drink is customisable to suit individual tastes and can be enjoyed as a hot chocolate, an iced chocolate, or even a thick milkshake blended with ice cream.

William Gordon-Harris, Knoops' CEO, expressed his excitement about the new store: "We're thrilled to bring Knoops to York, a city renowned for its rich history and vibrant food scene. "The opening of this store is another step in our journey to become the go-to brand for personalised chocolate drinks in the UK." Founder Jens Knoop added: "York's historic charm and festive spirit make it the perfect location and time of year to open our newest store.

"As you explore the city's enchanting Christmas markets and storied streets, savouring a cup of Knoops hot chocolate is the perfect way to add a touch of warmth and indulgence to your journey", reports Yorkshire Live . York is around one hour from Teesside, with many train .
