Delicious coffee, wonderful customer service and explanation of what they offer! I would recommend this stop for coffee to anyone.

This is an incredible and fun find. So glad we did! To start with, the owner is the coolest guy. Super nice and funny, great personality. He makes it worth stopping just to meet him! The coffee is wonderful they roast their own. I got the John Henry. My wife got a drink called the Mothman which was great with a spicy zing. The atmosphere is also so nice! You would be foolish not to stop here if you are in the area, maybe even if you are not. Oh yes, there is also a mini golf and rock climbing wall. read more

Perfect spot if you need to get out of the car for awhile. Not far from the freeway. Quite the assortment of drinks and desserts. I was too late to try their coffee but the menu was full of syrup-laden options. I prefer coffee that doesn't need those additions. I will update my review if/when we stop here again. The family mostly got ice cream and they let our 7yo try the iced bubble tea before ordering. I like that this place likes to educate you about coffee and teas in a tasteful wall display. The tables included games like connect-4. I will address the mini-golf and climbing wall in another review. What a great combination. The owners seemed to work on quality. read more

This place is amazing. One of a kind. Very nice coffee shop with tasty selection of hot coffee, iced and frappe style. I had white chocolate cookie butter frappe style. Yum. I also grabbed 2 vanilla pecan biscottis, so good. They have cozy seating. The staff was super friendly. They also have ice cream that they sell by scoops. read more

Great cofee and activities for the kids. Put put, wall climbing and ice cream with caffeine. How could you lose?

Awesome little hidden gem. This coffee shop looks like it was transplanted from somewhere like Tahoe or Aspen. It sits back off the road just a bit. The decor inside is nice and has a warm feeling. I got some coffee to go, but it looked like a great place to relax and enjoy your drink. The owner was super friendly and we talked for a bit. The place also has a putt putt course and climbing wall off the back of the coffee shop. I didn't see them but it seemed really cool and unique. I love going to get coffee at a place like this, rather than go to a chain coffee shop and be pushed through the line like everyone else. read more

A very fun and cool spot! I've been going here for years, since before the climbing gym was built, and it has only improved with age. The coffee is good, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the amount of stuff you can do in such a such a small area is amazing. read more

The coffee here is amazing. Much better than the chain places and I love supporting local business. My favorite is the broomstick brew. However, the app that the use is garbage. It will charge you and never send your order through. Also be prepared to wait. There is always a line and only like 2 people working in the entire place. If they had a decent app and adequate staff this place would be amazing. read more

A++!! Service was excellent, friendly outdoor cat named Pete, and coffees were incredible!! $10 for two delicious 16oz Mochas. We loved the ambiance and all the moose decorations. Parking was easy, they have their own private lot. I'd love to get coffee here again, but unfortunately, I live out of state. read more

My boyfriend and I drove past this spot and turned around just to try it. It was disappointing. I ordered a cold brew which definitely isn't espresso but he made me an iced latter where the shots weren't even tamped correctly. The shots tasted dead. It was one of the worst coffee experiences I've had. But I will say it's really cute inside. read more

Just got an americano there and am sorely disappointed. it's 60 cents more than at Starbucks and is very watered down. I'd prefer to support a local business but am not willing to overpay for an inferior drink. read more

OMG! This place is better than starbucks! Found this place when I was working in the area. Coworkers said how good it was and I had to try it. Delicious! Must try read more

Cool coffee shop. Freshly roasted beans and awesome cookies. The Red Eye gave me the kick in the seat of the pants I needed to keep my day going. Very friendly owner; great experience!! read more

The Chocolate Moose - Perfect stop in a chilly WV afternoon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Beckley, West Virginia

See all

Driving across the country means the opportunities to explore local gems. When I needed a pick-me-up on the road, Chocolate Moose popped up on my yelp search. I had never heard of Beckley (a small college town) but decided to stop because the shop is just off the interstate. I was served by a very polite gentleman and the hazelnut latte was absolutely perfect. I wish I had ordered a larger size as I finished mine within 10 minutes after I drove off. The inside is neat, with multiple rooms and multiple business (indoor climbing gym, real estate office), seemingly run by the same people. There are so many hand-written chalkboards that I wish I could sit down and read them all. As a previous reviewer, I also felt like a kid in a candy store... Don't miss this place if you ever travel on 64/77 south of Charleston, West Virginia. read more

Perfect stop off the interstate without having to succumb to a chain or corporate beast. Coffee was legit (Ethiopian on brew when I arrived), and the service was welcoming and warm. I'd love to make this my regular stop on my frequent trips between Ohio and North Carolina, especially if I have time for a little climbing! Also, there was adorable dog wandering around, and I love a shop with an animal ambassador! read more

When they're good, they're REALLY good. When they aren't, you get hot burnt coffee water when you order a cappuccino.

Drove an hour just to pull in to an empty parking because they were closed for renovations. Didn't see that posted anywhere on the website!

Good survive, good food, good time. The Chocolate Moose is a great place to have fun during your free time my personal favorite is the ice cream me and my family go alot after dinner and sometimes to play mini golf or rock climbing. If you ever want somewhere to go the Chocolate Moose is a great place to start. read more

Wonderful combination of coffee, climbing and put put! The staff make this place even more unique: friendly, thoughtful, skilled. I enjoyed a cup of coffee, climbing, and tight top walking. Life is better because. read more

The Chocolate Moose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Beckley, West Virginia

Sooo cute! Love the decor, fireplace and the smoothie options! Staff was nice and knowledgeable. Like the gf and vegan options. read more

Wow, has this place has grown in the last 20yrs! Coffee is superb, and enjoy climbing on the climbing wall, or while miniature golfing.... They also have a great chocolate moose... read more

Excellent coffee options, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere!! We will definitely be coming back here and maybe with a board game in tow, though they do have some on hand! read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in the area. Everyone who works there is incredibly kind and the coffee is delicious!

Super cute coffee/ smoothie shop. Very friendly staff. The kids enjoyed looking around the shop and checking out the climbing wall and golf

There is really no good coffee shops on this stretch of a road trip, besides this climbing gym/golf/ice cream/coffee shop owned for quite some time by a Kevin (personally fond of that name ;) ). I mean the coffee wasn't amazing nor the service fast, but passing through twice I appreciated them both times! read more

"We don't really deserve the accolades we receive", says Kevin, the unassuming owner of this little haven of coffee. He goes on to point out that the rock climbing and putt putt are where he makes his actual income and the Chocolate Moose is really just a nice add-on. I think he is being sincere, but he is not giving his own shop the credit that it deserves. This coffee shop is as attractive as any I have ever been in and the fresh roasted coffee is exceptional too. I would not have found this little jewel without Yelp, but I'm glad it was uncovered for me. Stop by and have "The Bearded Blondie". You will not be disappointed. read more

Awesome place to get some freshly ground coffee! Also with other options of a climbing wall and mini golf which we did not do on our visit. Owner was easy going and made us feel welcome. Tried the pumpkin fright and it was so good we came back the second day to have it again!! Great service and fantastic product. Will be back read more

Climb a wall? Yep they do that. Miniature putt putt? Yep they do that too. Have great coffee? Yep freshly made espresso and drip coffee. Check this place out. I got here early in the morning so had a chance to meet the owner. Friendly polite and courteous. Made a fresh Americano. Sat outside away from the ugliness that is the over developed strip of road leading to this place. Franchise-heaven. If you're into it that's great. But if you're looking for a little respite and local flavor, and check this place out. read more

Stopped by again on our way through the area. Still great and still highly recommended. Extremely friendly and personal. Excellent coffee drink options. Bought a bag of coffee to give to a friend. read more

Love this place. The atmosphere is great. The coffee and coffee selections are great. There are a plethora of smoothies to choose from. This is my kind of place. I'd much rather come here than that popular chain coffee shop across town. Highly recommend this place. read more

I am both happy and sad that I don't live closer because I would be there all the time. It is a cozy space and both times I was there, I saw someone typing away on a computer which is exactly what I would be doing. I decided to get The Mothman instead of my usual americano and I went back for a second on my way back north even though I had no intention of stopping there. It is just that good. Do yourself a favour and go there. read more

Forget Starbucks and Dunkin', this is the best real coffee in our area. I love how they rotate the different roasts and blends from day to day to give you something refreshing. The John Henry is my personal favorite tho. Oh and not to mention that the owner, Mr. Traube, might be the nicest human being I've ever met. Great place! read more

If you want a large serving of sugar and cream I guess this is ok. I can't believe a coffee shop would try to pass off a couple of watered down shots of espresso as cold brew coffee. Also an americano hat was essentially a weak espresso diluted with so much hot water that there was no flavor. If you have EVER been to a real coffee shop outside of Beckley you might know what good coffee is. It is not all sugar and half and half. Absolutely ruined coffee experience. Hire and train a REAL barista Not some clueless person who knows nothing about coffee. read more

Great coffee. I love the variety of syrups and milk choices! The atmosphere of the place is super cute and cozy. Could be a little cleaner, like maybe a good sweep of the floors at least. Comfy seating. My barista was a typical barista in a trendy place type. I mean, she was friendly when taking our order but then didn't hustle to get them made. She was more interested in talking to her friend so we had to kind of stand there awkwardly at the counter waiting while she talked while holding the milk carafe in her hand instead of steaming it. It took a little long. I'd definitely come again. read more

Excellent coffee, with unique flavors! Warm & friendly atmosphere. Try the Moth-man or "Moth-Moose" flavor.

I come here often to embrace its relaxing and warm atmosphere coupled with its tasty coffee selection and eclectic environment and clientele. A must visit for coffee and tea lovers of all backgrounds and walks of life. read more

This place is adorable. The chai latte is good and I had a great Apple caramel muffin with it. I hung out and did some work for a few hours in the middle of my travels. The business owner was super nice, a really good host. read more

Another little gem in Beckley. Friendly, knowledgeable, owner/barista who roasts his own coffee beans. I had a cold brew and cranberry with orange zest muffin. Both were excellent. And, you can get an Aeropress or the typical espresso drinks. Plus there's a variety of other beverages offered. And great jazz. How nice to find, right off the interstate. Located in an old house, set back a bit from the road. Wifi etc. Don't miss this treat! read more

Great place. I had one of the best mochas here that I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. The staff are very friendly & know how to make a great cup of coffee. read more
