About Mochaccinos

How Mochaccinos Began

Mochaccinos Coffee & Chocolate Shop was established on the 7th June 1999. We initially opened the shop with the intention of selling chocolate, coffee, tea and fine confectionery but gradually, demand for hot drinks grew and so we opened the Coffee Bar in the rear of the shop.

Mochaccinos Coffee & Chocolate Shop partners (both in life and business), Sarah & John, started to create a successful business that catered for the people of Fleet in Hampshire and surrounding areas. Mochaccinos also started to supply commercially to businesses that required bespoke chocolate boxes, corporate orders and freshly roasted coffee for filter and espresso machines; in particular to restaurants, hotels and offices.

In 2000 we saw the launch of our first website which had a small selection of what was on offer in the shop and gradually over the next few years, we expanded the site to further reflect the full range of products. Then in 2005, the site was placed in the hands of a team of professional website builders who took our original content and hard work and reformatted it to the site that you now see before you; slicker and fuller!

The Shop

If you are ever local to Fleet ,which is located just off junction 4a of the M3, please pop in to the shop which is located in the centre of Fleet's lovely and thriving High Street. There you will be able to sample some of our range and enjoy the super sized cappuccino or delicious Gourmet Hot Chocolate imported from America, served under marshmallows, topped with freshly whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder.

A large feature of the shop is situated in the corner. With ducting sprouting out of the rear and disappearing off into the ceiling, our Samiac 7 kilo roaster keeps us in freshly roasted coffee and fills the high street with the sweet fragrance and wafting smoke from the coffee beans. Since opening the coffee bar, we have restricted our roasting times to "after hours" although we often start late in the afternoon. This is due to the heat generated and the smoke of the roasted coffee which is not to everyone's liking....

May 2006; the shop had a refit and change in colour scheme, oh and we introduced the best ice cream we have ever tried from the Isle of Wight - Minghella's so you really must pop in and try some!

Fresh Coffee

Freshly roasted coffee is our speciality, with a diverse range of coffee beans from different coffee growing regions we roast coffee and grind it to order. This allows us to blend bespoke coffees for our commercial customers (restaurants, coffee bars and sports associations) and personalise a label on the front for them. Coffees that we sell but do not roast include the Jamaican Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Kona which are imported direct from the countries of origin in a sealed bag packaged up in a cloth bag.

For those of you that like a touch of extra flavour to your coffee such as Amaretto or vanilla, then we have flavoured syrups to 'spice' up your coffee. We also have Boaters flavoured coffee in both whole bean and pre-ground packs - again, if you cannot find something particular that you are looking for then drop us an email or give us a ring and we will try to help you. Our shop contains numerous items that have not made their way on to the website yet.

Specialist Teas

Also from Boaters are the A-Z of loose leaf teas. Here you will find everything from Assam to Zariza Samovar but again as always, if you want a particular leaf from a certain region let us know as we may stock it and can certainly try to get hold of it for you. If you ever want to buy a bulk amount of either teas or coffees, then let us know and we will give you a price.

Neuhaus chocolate cabinet

Chocolates are supplied by the Belgian chocolate house, Neuhaus, who handmake the finest chocolates we have ever had the joy to taste. From pralines to fresh cream chocolates and Champagne truffles our showcase are presented in a Neuhaus Chocolate cabinet and imported frequently from Belgium. Our favourites include Manon Sucre Cafe, Tentation and Caprice although I would not like to narrow the best down to just three with so many to choose from! We also stock the award winning dairy wheat and gluten free chocolates from Booja Booja.

Mr Jelly Belly, who visited us a few summers ago, represents the most incredible gourmet jelly beans that you will ever taste; often imitated but never replicated. When they say it tastes of Sizzling Cinnamon or Watermelon it truly does! Jelly Bellies are smaller, softer and brighter, with true to life mouth-watering flavours in both the centre and the shell. Jelly Belly use natural ingredients for flavouring wherever possible - like real fruit and fruit juices. There are just 4 calories in a Jelly Belly Jelly Bean and zero fat. Mochaccinos Coffee & Chocolate Shop sells loose Jelly Beans, Jelly Belly Gumball Machines and a range of related gift ideas. With over 49 flavours, there is a flavour for everyone even if it means using one of their recipes to concoct a mixture of Jelly Beans with an alternate result such as 2 blueberry beans and one buttered popcorn to make the taste of a Blueberry Muffin.

Mochaccinos will take you back to your school days with its range of traditional boiled sweets. Do you remember Cough Candy, Sherbet Lemons, Strawberry Bon Bons, Kola Kubes, Aniseed Balls and various other boiled confectionery that were purchased with your pocket money (or in our case, lunch pennies) on the way to school ? Buy them now from us to re-live those childhood tastes and memories.

Helium Gift Balloons

Helium balloons can be sent by Mochaccinos in a wonderful box as a surprise for your favourite friends and family. Once inflated, the balloon is placed in the decorated box with a box of chocolates, party poppers, streamers and decorations. It is then posted on a next day delivery to anywhere in the United Kingdom with a personalised message from you; so don't forget to include your message when going through the payment stages of the secure shopping cart.

The Best Expresso Machines

Finally, we bring to you the best espresso machines on the market. Regardless of your budget, the machines that you will find here are fully capable of fulfilling your requirements: good pump pressure, large water tanks, espresso after espresso.
