What an awesome find! I absolutely love chocolate and try to find a local spot anytime I travel. So…read moreof course I had to stop at the number one highland chocolatier's shop. We were greeted and shown the layout by the friendly staff. It was a beautiful spot with a retail space, a sit down area and a little window to peek into the kitchen. It was a shame to have shown up when there wasn't any priduction but they did have a tv that showed some of the processes used here. We browsed around the retail, bought a couple things than sat and ordered a few different truffle flavors, hot chocolate and the ice cream. Everything was delicious! I was a huge fan of the ice cream even with the weather not being so warm. The white drinking chocolate was a bit too sweet for me, I would next time do the classic drinking chocolate but the white hot chocolate was tasty! I would highly recommend stopping by here and can't wait to visit again

Very happy to have stumbled onto this chocolatier after a cold wet day in the Scottish Highlands…read more Everything pictured was made of chocolate, except the stone dragon. Their beans coming from suppliers in Central America, like my home country of Honduras. This hot chocolate was second only to Italian hot chocolate for me.

My friend and I visited this shop on our day out in St Andrew's, we were looking to purchase a…read morevariety of sweets for our friends and family to take home to Dundee. Unfortunately the staff were very rude and a member of staff said to another girl E***e make sure you are facing pointing back and forth at us, she replied with OH. I walked walked out after alerting my friend to what was said. the girl with dark hair shouts out the door bye and thanks. Not a nice way to treat customers especially visitors to the town. Some staff training would probably benefit the employees. I myself have worked in retail and my friend works in security so somehow I don't think we are going to steal. Will never visit again and will make friends and family aware of the poor customer service received

We popped in to this place recently after digging our car out of the snow at the side of a…read morePerthshire country road. The sign outside advertised 'the best' hot chocolate, so how could I NOT go in?! Nothing goes better with snow than hot chocolate! This place doubles as a coffee shop and a chocolatier. They make all the chocolate they sell on premises, which is a nice rare touch. They have a selection of sundaes and shakes, and offer 'chasers' with your drink order (a chaser is a selection of handmade chocolates) which is a chocolate lovers dream! I remain loyal to hot chocolate and find it a meal in itself, so I didn't opt for a chaser this time. But how was 'the best' hot chocolate? Good effort, but doesn't knock Tinderbox off the top spot! And at over £4 it's certainly not a bargain. I've only given 3 stars, due to the price, and the service wasn't great either. There always seemed to be a more important job to be done than serving customers. That's a pet peeve of mine in any service business (sad, I know!) If you're looking for gift ideas, they do chocolate workshops or adults, but again they are expensive at £40 for 2 hours. I'm intrigued though, so if anyone gives this a go, let me know how it is!

I liked this place. Auchterarder has a lot of nice wee tea rooms catering for the Gleneagles set,…read moreso it can tough to stand out. Cocoa mountain is a high end chocolatier, hot chocolate and sandwich place. The chocolates looked great although I never ate any. I'm informed by one of my group. The paninis are a kind of pick your own affair from a list of ingredients. I went for ham, cheese and onion chutney. All in our group enjoyed our lunch. The highlight was the hot chocolate. It's actually cocoa, sweetened with with chocolate another in cream and chocolate fondant. Pretty darn tasty! Certainly worthy of a wee diversion if in the area.
