Cocoa Tree

While spending the week in Fife, where I used to live, I knew I wanted to pop back to the Cocoa Tree in Pittenweem for a famous hot chocolate. Traditional chocolate shop at the front and cosy cafe at the back, we ended up visiting at lunch time so I was curious to find out what vegan options would be available.

Vegan options were labelled on the menu but there weren't many - soup or one sandwich option. For some reason the focaccia which comes with the soup wasn't vegan. I chose the thick mixed bean soup which is made with cocoa butter and had cocoa nibs in it! It was a little rich for me but very wholesome - a good, hearty option for a colder day.

We ordered hot chocolates for after but there was a mix up so they came at the same time as our food. You can choose from orange, rose, peppermint or hazelnut praline. I had the hazelnut which was delicious, like a molten Nutella drink! My Mum had the peppermint which she enjoyed very much. These came with cute little sea creature shaped dark chocolates too. Yum! Although the Cocoa Tree is a little pricey the hot chocolates are definitely worth it as a treat and are available to takeaway if you fancy one for a walk down to the pretty harbour.
