he milkshake masters are finally coming to the capital.
Luxury Hot chocolate drink brand Knoops has announced the official opening date for its highly anticipated Cardiff store – and local chocoholics won’t have long to wait. The doors open on Friday 20th June at 37 The Hayes, right in the heart of the St David’s Centre.

Famous for its customisable chocolate drinks menu, Knoops has become something of a cult favourite across the UK, known for offering a unique “percentage menu” that lets you tailor your drink to your exact chocolate preferences – from creamy and sweet to rich and intense.
Expect a seriously indulgent line-up of hot chocolates, iced chocolates, mochas and milkshakes, all made with real chocolate and crafted to your taste. Whether you’re after a comforting 34% milk chocolate or a bold 85% dark, there’s a blend for everyone – including oat, almond and dairy-free options too.

The store design is just as sleek as the drinks – think cosy interiors, stylish finishes, and the kind of calming space perfect for a mid-shop treat or an after-work pick-me-up.
This will be Knoops’ first Welsh location, following successful launches in London, Oxford, Manchester and beyond – and it’s set to be a hit with Cardiff’s coffee and dessert crowd.
Whether you’re a casual cocoa fan or a full-blown chocolate lover, Knoops is about to become your new go-to spot for luxury chocolatey sips in the city.
