Gorgeous, unique and unmissable. A wonderful family afternoon
NearyNógs Stoneground Chocolate的点评
点评:This was such a wonderful, cosy and really fascinating afternoon!
We made the trek down from Belfast specifically to Christmas shop, and were pleasantly surprised by the café, had gorgeous custom hot chocolates with our two wee boys, and a lush cinnamon bun!
Peter was the real stand out star here - as we got seated waiting our drinks, he popped up with a gorgeous tasting board of three chocolates (what a treat!).. but it was more than that - it was the story he painted with each of them. The “day at the beach”, visually painting with words for the kids about the elements of the chocolate. They were so engaged. Sensing their enthusiasm, he then showed the kids the cacao pods, beans, what they were doing in the factory.. even giving them wee teaspoons to sample straight from the vat (they were BUZZING). He also taught us about all the various parts of the cacao bean (who knew a nice fruit juice came from it?? Peter also let us sample this).
It was so evident the passion that Peter has for this craft, and really deep knowledge. The way he engaged the kids and looked after us was the best example of outstanding customer service we’ve had in a long, long while.
We literally just called in to buy a couple of wee treats for Christmas presents.. but ended up with a gorgeous cosy family afternoon that the kids won’t don’t forget. Thank you Peter and Nearynógs!
Pro tip though: no matter if google maps tells you to turn right when leaving… DON’T!!! A mud track is not a road, google.
翻译:这是一个如此美妙、舒适和迷人的下午!
我们从贝尔法斯特特地赶到圣诞商店,惊喜地发现了这家咖啡馆,和我们的两个小男孩一起喝了美味的定制热巧克力,还吃了一块美味的肉桂卷!
彼得是这里真正的明星——当我们坐下来等饮料时,他拿着一个漂亮的品尝板,上面有三种巧克力(真是美味!)。但不仅仅是这些——他还为每一种巧克力画了故事。“海滩上的一天”,用文字为孩子们画了巧克力的元素。他们非常投入。感受到他们的热情,他向孩子们展示了可可豆荚、豆子,以及他们在工厂里做什么……甚至给他们小茶匙直接从桶里取样(他们兴奋不已)。他还教我们了解了可可豆的各个部分(谁知道可可豆竟然能榨出美味的果汁??彼得还让我们品尝了可可豆)。
彼得对这门手艺的热情和深厚的知识显而易见。他与孩子们互动和照顾我们的方式是我们很久以来遇到的出色客户服务的最佳典范。
我们只是打电话来买几件小零食作为圣诞礼物……但最终度过了一个美妙而温馨的家庭下午,孩子们不会忘记。谢谢彼得和 Nearynógs!
不过,专业提示:无论谷歌地图是否告诉您在离开时右转……都不要右转!!!泥路不是路,谷歌。
