Our founder Jens Knoops has had a strong relationship with chocolate since his childhood in rural Germany. In 2013, he decided to share his passion and opened the first Knoops store in Rye, East Sussex. Since then, Jens has gone on to open more Knoops stores, built a team of chocolate lovers around him, developed an at-home range of chocolate flakes, and even released a chocolate cookbook. The Knoops concept is based around our carefully curated percentage menu which offers chocolates to suit every taste and mood. We find joy in helping you to discover your perfect chocolate drink, and encourage experimentation with different % chocolates and flavours in a process we call ‘Knoopology’. This process is simple;choose your chocolate %, milk, and extra flavours like sea salt, orange zest or chilli to be made into a hot chocolate, milkshake or iced chocolate. With our app, you can get rewarded for your experimenting with Knoopology by collect points with every drink you buy in our stores.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wetherspoon at 11K against Knoops's 19. Wetherspoon also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.2). Knoops's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Knoops holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Wetherspoon's written reviews are positive against 52% of Knoops's.
Wetherspoon ships an update monthly, Knoops fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
