FAQs

We have a couple of gift voucher options, depending if you would like the recipient to be able to spend it online, OR in one of our stores (in Kensington, Clapham Junction or Rye.)

You can buy a gift voucher to redeem in our online shop here, that can be sent via email.

The best way to give credit to someone to spend in our shop, is to download our App (you can find it here for Apple, and here for Android). Once the app is installed, in the menu on the top left there is an option “Gift Cards” and through here you can very easily gift some credit to someone. They will receive an email with instructions as to how to redeem it and they will be able to use it to buy drinks in our stores in Kensington, Clapham Junction and Rye.

Our founder, Jens Knoop, carefully selects the chocolates that feature in our chocolate library. Our current range includes 22 chocolates from around the world, from a white 28% up to a 100% cocoa. We offer a range of blends - which are now traceable, so we know which cooperatives contributed to each cup - alongside a number of single origins from a range of cocoa-growing regions, from Peru and Colombia, to Tanzania and Madagascar. In October 2019, Jens visited the Alto El Sol plantation in Peru, meeting growers who supply the cocoa in our 65% Single Origin.

We work with a handful of chocolate makers, small and large, who are genuinely committed to improving the sustainability of their cocoa, in an industry which has experienced many challenges in recent decades. Programmes such as Cocoa Horizons and Cacao Trace demonstrate the industry’s ambition for achieving long-term sustainability of cocoa, with a focus on environmental issues, productivity, farmer poverty, and social and community development. One of our suppliers is the oldest B-Corps certified company in the world.

The Knoopifier allows you to make the very best Knoops hot chocolate at home - just like our Knoopologists prepare in our shops. It also heats and froths milk for coffee, all at the touch of a button. It is made by the German company, WMF.

Just add your preferred milk, and experiment by introducing a little extra flavour – a fruit, root, herb or spice. For the best results, we recommend using our Knoopifier buttons – choose from a range of 6 different % chocolates. 

There is more detailed information on the Knoopifier here. 

All of our chocolates that are 54% and over are suitable for vegans, when also made with non-dairy milks.

Please see our locations here.

Knoopology is about making the perfect drinking drink for you. And this can be done in our cafés or at home, with our Knoopifier and a range of chocolates that can be ordered online.
