Where are you based?
Our chocolate factory, shop, and café are located in Leyburn Business Park. We are open seven days a week!
Mon–Sat: 10am – 4pm
Sunday: 11am – 3pm
Please note: We are closed on Easter Sunday and for our annual factory shutdown (Dec 25th through mid-January).
Is there car parking?
Yes! we have several free parking spaces right outside. We also offer a dedicated disabled space and an electric vehicle (EV) charging point (available for a small fee to cover electricity costs).
Are you dog-friendly?
We love dogs! Well-behaved pups are welcome on our outdoor decking and inside the café. We simply ask that you use the dedicated side entrance to the café to keep our open factory production space separate and sparkling clean.
Do you make your own chocolate?
We believe the true art of the chocolatier lies in the transformation of premium ingredients. While we aren’t a "bean-to-bar" facility, we use world-renowned Barry Callebaut chocolate as our canvas. This allows us to focus our expertise on what matters most: the craftsmanship, temper, and flavor of the final piece.
What makes Inspired Chocolate unique?
Handcrafted Centers: Most of our ganaches are made in-house using secret recipes and traditional techniques.
Local Flavors: We source locally whenever possible, featuring Ryedale and Bracken Hill jams in our chocolates and café menu.
Artistic Design: Every creation is finished with a unique design, making our chocolates look as beautiful as they taste.
5-Star Standards: We proudly maintain a 5-star food hygiene rating, ensuring the highest quality in every bite.
What is "Ruby Chocolate"?
Ruby chocolate is the "fourth type" of chocolate! Made from the Ruby cocoa bean, it has a natural pink hue and a unique, slightly sour berry flavor. It contains no artificial colors or flavorings—it’s just naturally brilliant.
Do you offer Dairy-Free or Vegan options?
Absolutely. We have a wide range of vegan-friendly treats, including many of our inclusion bars, shards, and "chunky" range. You can even find vegan options in our "Build a Box" section!
