Chocolate and S'more

Chocolate and S’more officially opened its doors on February 26, 2022. It has been a dream of owner, Sheila Hall since college at East Carolina University and first came to mind when she started pairing sweet and savory ingredients together to make a s’more. 

Although not a coffee business, coffee drinks are on the menu along with other gourmet sips including teas, Italian sodas, lemonades and the most popular frozen hot chocolates. The menu can pivot with hot or cold sips depending on the temperatures and since we stock over 40 sauces and syrups, sips can always be blended per the customer’s choice or a customer can try the weekly feature. Coffees are roasted in NC by 321 Coffee, a Raleigh based business that employees people with developmental disabilities. Teas are blended in NC, frozen drinks are made with a proprietary blend that is manufactured here in NC, and a 3rd generation company out of NC produces our paper products. When someone supports Chocolate and S’more, they are also supporting four other NC businesses and that list continues to grow.

Gourmet s’mores are new to the menu, pairing sweet and savory ingredients together in a real sandwiched s’more. Customers can expect that menu to change seasonally, depending on fruits that are in season.

To get a sip, follow them on Instagram or Facebook @Chocolateandsmore. Contact Sheila today to schedule an event at chocolateandsmore@gmail.com or (910) 444-8305.
