Visited Cocoa Black 2 years ago and loved it , so when we were back in Peebles yesterday we were excited to go back again . The refurbished shop is lovely and cakes amazing, definitely worth a visit .
My daughter and I were excited to visit the re-fitted Cocoa Blacks and we were not disappointed! The new decor and furniture is beautiful, it seems so much spacious now too. I was very happy to have a choice of two vegan cakes- went for the lemon drizzle which was delicious! We’ll be back!
always a place to come back to. always a place to find something new. always delicious.
Second class I have attended and would totally recommend it. Ruth is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled and the whole team make you welcome and guide you though the class. You get to take away the most amazing treats. Will be back 👍🏻
My husband and I had a fantastic time at the truffles and ganache class yesterday afternoon, very relaxed tuition from Ruth, really wasn't expecting the master to teach the class, we were expecting a minion to be teaching the class, the two girl's were also very friendly and laid back great atmosphere I would recommend the class to everyone. Thank you.
Excellent informative course with fantastic personal hospitality.
Loads of information, skills and techniques shown over the three days.
I would definitely recommend to anybody at any skill level.
Visited for the first time yesterday, beautiful cakes...too many to choose from, fantastic hot chocolate, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, will return when back in the area.
Utterly amazing. The best place to go for coffee and cake.
First thing my husband and I do when we arrive in Peebles is head to Cocoa Black for tea and cake. The only problem is deciding which cake to have. Normally chocolate can be very rich, but not here, it's to die for. Highly recommend a visit.
Great coffee, the finest selection of cakes and chocolate and excellent service, top class�
Second time I’ve been on course run by the fabulous Ruth Hinks. Made chocolates. Fantastic value for money. Over 100 assorted chocolates. Will visit again.
I am so impressed with the number of vegan and sugar free options here! Absolutely brilliant and very refreshing! �
Amazing cafe of celebrity chocolatier Ruth Hinks. They have so many different kinds of desserts to try..mouses, cheesecake, tiramisu, cakes, cookies, and many more! The hot chocolate was also superb and the perfect level of sweetness. A must visit if you are a sweet tooth. They also run classes which can be booked, details can be found on website. There's paid parking just near the cafe.
My daughter invited me to this wonderful place to celebrate Mother’s Day. I love cakes and chocolate. It’s my addiction😀Cocoa Black Is like a Paradise to me. Great selection of cakes and delicious chocolates . Very tasty aromatic coffee. Scrumptious. I can highly recommend this place

Cocoa black is a great cafe to visit when in peebles. It has a vast amount of everything chocolate sweets. biscuits . Luxurious is a word I would offer . Plenty seating and toilets. Friendly staff. If you like chocolate 🍫 this is the PLACE YYEEHH 👌
Have always said we must try this place so glad we finally did! The smores cheesecake and pear and caramel crumble were to die for
OMG. Where do I start. If you want an extremely scrummy hot chocolate, this is your place. They do a selection of Tea and coffee also. The cakes are to die for. A little pricey, but a perfect treat for sure.
What a fantastic coffee/chocolate shop. We always stop here in Peebles for a cake and a coffee and it never disappoints. The attention to detail on their cakes, the tasty coffee and lovely atmosphere makes this a must go. Main Street parking and then a minute or 2 walk makes it well accessed too. Puts any chain coffee or cake shop to shame!
Amazing cakes - French patisserie-style level of detail. Lovely coffee and hot chocolate too
Been twice now, happily come back again, the classes are so smoothly run with professionalism throughout. Ruth provides detailed knowledge and an effortless approach to make you feel welcome and leave with new skills. Highly recommend the French patisserie class!
Delicious cakes and hot chocolates to die for. Be careful though the moose cakes can get sickly real quick.
I got a cappuccino cake and my wife got the sticky toffee cake with a hot chocolate. Mmmm
Inside is clean and tidy and tables are always cleared quick even if they are busy. Got a good forest view as well to finish it off :)
Did the Summer Patisserie course. Absolutely brilliant. Its fun, you learn and you meet other people plus you take home what you made. What's not to like? Ruth and her staff make you feel welcome and look after you really well.
The best cake I have ever had.
Had a lovely coffee, and the cakes were fantastic as usual. They are a bit expensive but I think for what you get it is value for money. Decent sized portions and good quality ingredients .
Went for a half day chocolate bar making experience. Ruth was an excellent, informative and fun host and we came away with lots of our delicious and gift boxed chocolate handiwork. Great value and a wonderful setting for a day out. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic selection of hand made pastries and cakes. The ones we had were delicious as was the coffee and the indulgent hot chocolate.
About the same price as a Starbucks or Costa overall but in terms of quality this establishment stands out on its own.
The carrot cake was the best I have ever tasted. A must try.
We went with someone in our party who has a gluten intolerance, asked if their cakes were gluten free was told they are free of flour but can't say gluten free as they are made in a gluten environment, was also told the cakes with gold stars on them are made without flour and that was a vast assortment of cakes we bought four cakes they looked fantastic and tasted devine. The price was reasonable under £3 for each cake. We will go back.
Had a really lovely Viennese Whirl and Chocolate Eclair, couldn’t fault either.
Absolutely delicious food and great service! An absolute Gem!I can not wait to go back and taste all the rest of their incredible variety. The Carrot cake is 10/10
