A hot chocolate bar is the winter version of what we do: rich, warm and sweet, for the part of a room that includes children, designated drivers and guests who finished with coffee hours ago.
It is made from our house cacao syrup, folded into steamed milk rather than scooped out of a powder tin, with extra cacao on request for anyone who wants it darker. Organic oat and almond milk are standard, so it works for the guests who cannot drink dairy as well.
Where a hot chocolate bar fits
Holiday parties
For the half of the room who want something warm at nine in the evening.
Winter markets
Outdoors in the cold, where it is exactly what people want.
Family and school events
A warm treat for the children in the room.
Alongside the espresso bar
On the same cart, as part of a winter menu.

What goes in it
The house cacao syrup is made in small batches from organic cane sugar, the same way every flavor on the cart is. Over properly steamed milk it makes a drink with actual body to it — the thing a powder sachet is an imitation of, and we will add extra cacao for anyone who wants it darker.
Cold foam takes a dusting of cacao cleanly, which gives you a hot chocolate with a cap on it rather than a flat cup. A dessert-led flavor from the current list goes in the same direction if you want a second version on the board.
Three seasonal toppings come with the bar at no extra cost, and you can add more if you want the station to be the thing guests build their own drink at.
Who it is for
Holiday parties with families, winter markets, school and community events, and any late evening where guests want something warm and rich. It is the drink that gives the half of a room who are not having another espresso something to hold.
Children are the obvious part of that and the designated drivers are the part people forget. Both end up at the cart, and both notice when what they are handed is as good as what everybody else is drinking.
Alongside the espresso and matcha bars
The hot chocolate bar runs on the same cart as everything else, so a winter booking does not have to choose. The espresso bar is the booking; the hot chocolate, and matcha and hojicha if you add them, come off the same setup with one quote behind them.
Roasted hojicha does a similar job for adults who want something warm and low in caffeine without the sweetness, and it is worth adding for a late evening. Between the two, nobody in the room is stuck with "no thank you".
Outdoors, in the cold
A winter market or an outdoor holiday event is where this earns its place most obviously, and it is also where the logistics are easiest: nothing has to be kept cold. We run from one standard 110V outlet where there is one, and from a silent inverter generator where there is not.
Our cups are compostable with a proper insulating wall, which matters more in December than in June — a guest standing outside keeps hold of a cup that is comfortable to hold, and that is most of whether they come back for a second.
Toppings that come with the bar
Included at no extra cost, and you can add more if you want guests building their own drink at the station.

How our service works
Every event gets a custom quote based on guests, hours, location and add-ons. Hot chocolate comes off the same cart as the coffee, so a winter menu adds nothing to set up.

Hot chocolate bar FAQ
What is your hot chocolate made with?
Our house cacao syrup, made in small batches from organic cane sugar, folded into steamed milk — a real drink rather than a powder sachet, and we will add extra cacao on request for anyone who wants it darker.
Organic oat and almond milk are standard on the cart, so a dairy-free hot chocolate is the same drink rather than a substitute one.
Does it come with toppings?
Yes, three seasonal toppings are included with the bar at no extra cost, and you can add extras if you want guests building their own drink at the station.
Is it a good option for guests who skip coffee?
Hot chocolate is rich and sweet rather than a coffee drink, which makes it a natural choice at a family event or a late evening. Cacao contains a little caffeine naturally, so for a guest avoiding it altogether, herbal tea comes with every booking. Roasted hojicha does a similar job for adults who want something warm and less sweet.
Can it run alongside the coffee?
Yes. The espresso bar is the booking and the hot chocolate bar sits next to it on the same cart, as part of a winter menu, with one quote behind all of it.
Does it work outdoors at a winter market?
Yes, and it is where it makes the most sense. Nothing has to be kept cold, we run from one standard outlet or from a silent inverter generator, and our cups have an insulating wall so a guest standing in the cold keeps hold of theirs.

Read more of Samuel Shon’s reviewLoomie coffee was catering for an event and the owner was working the coffee bar himself. They did a fantastic job providing drinks to a group of 50+ guests, not to mention the variety of drinks they offered. Their syrups and flavorings are made in house and taste exceptional. Highly recommend!

They'll remember it forever!
Alexis Belmonte October 2026
Read more of Alexis Belmonte’s reviewGreat coffee with fun seasonal flavors. Having southern cobbler flavors is crazy to me. They are phenomenal. I believe they are Turkish and they use their rich culture to influence their flavors. All syrups are made in-house, and they only use organic ingredients. If you have questions they will explain their flavors to you and you might even get some samples of their delicious syrups and cold foam. This is my favorite coffee in the area and I make sure to visit them whenever they are at a nearby farmers market.

Read more of Nafisa Nowshin Ahmed’s reviewIncredible coffee, made by two of the warmest people you will meet! The flavor pairings are unique and work beautifully with the coffee roast. We tried the Banana Bread Cap Hazelnut Latte and the Hojicha Latte, which was easily the best we have ever had. The founders could not have been kinder, making us feel truly welcomed. Can’t wait to visit our local caffeine dealer and see the Loomie duo in full bloom! ✨😍✨

Read more of Olivia Shamy’s reviewLoomie Coffee is the BEST! Sezer and Ozlem created such an amazing experience for our event. They prepared handcrafted matcha drinks with thoughtfully crafted flavors — the strawberry matcha was incredible. Beyond the drinks themselves, they brought such a warm, welcoming energy and made everything feel elevated and special. Could not recommend them more for events!

Not sure what to call it?
People ask for the same cart under half a dozen names, and several of these are one booking with a different word in front of it. Whichever one you came in with, here is the page that answers it.
