Best Answer

In 1657

The shop is called the The Coffee Mill and Tobacco Roll. Costing 10 to 15 shillings per pound, chocolate is a beverage for the elite.

Chocolate was first distributed as a drink like coffee, because they would receive it as cocoa beans from Mexico.

Sir Hans Sloane brings a cacao tree,from which the chocolate bean is grown, back from Jamaica to England in 1689.

In 1674

The English start advertising solid 'fingers of chocolate in the Spanish tradition'.

Chocolate Pastry is also served for the first time in coffee houses.

in 1728

Chocolate came to the UK in about 1520, but the first chocolate house officially opened in London in 1657 followed rapidly by many others.
