Crunching It up at Cocoa Colony

Cocoa Colony is the latest chocolate café to launch locally, with its first outlet at the newly renovated Shaw Centre on Scotts Road. Getting their chocolate from all over the world, the Cocoa Colony team takes an average of 2 months to develop a recipe, going through various rounds of taste testing, then blind tastings, before the item is introduced on the menu at their café.

It’s located on the second floor of the mall, which is easily accessible by public transport. The nearest MRT is Promenade, which makes it really convenient to get to the mall haha. There’s a small seating area, but as you can tell from the picture, it can get crowded really easily.

Besides their hot chocolate and cocoa-based drinks, they also sell sweet treats and gelato! The cakes looked yummy, but we didn’t try them this time. Next time then!

‘We love anything chocolate and know that cocoa has a lot of benefits including being a great antioxidant. We feel that there is currently no such café concept of a chocolate café for the masses that is not too overtly high-brow or too gourmet for the public.
