Why LOCOCO?

Tastes like the real thing: Rich cocoa crafted with chefs and recognized by Food & Wine and Bon Appétit for its taste.

5g of sugar per serving: Sweet enough to feel like a treat. Light enough to have every day.

A gentle pick-me-up: Less than 10% of the caffeine in a cup of coffee — a second wind that won’t ruin bedtime.

Made for your ritual: Your coffee companion. Your après ritual. Stir a scoop into your morning brew, or make it your afternoon reset.

P.S. In case you’re wondering LOCOCO came from — LOCAL + COCOA — because we wanted to create a cocoa for, and inspired by, our friends who were local to Park City, UT. But it’s not LOCOCOA. It’s LOCOCO: LO-CO-CO.

How to make a cup

Add 1-2 tablespoons of LOCOCO® cocoa mix to 8 oz of hot water or your favorite milk.

Blend with a handheld frother or stir vigorously with a spoon until smooth + foamy.

Serve it hot in a mug or pour it over ice in a tall glass.

…or add a spoonful to your daily coffee for a boost of nutrition + dreamy flavor.

About Functional Mushrooms

Some functional mushrooms are adaptogenic — meaning they are believed to help the body and mind adapt to stress and maintain balance. In LOCOCO®, those are Cordyceps and Maitake. These substances may have a normalizing effect on bodily functions, helping support regulation of various systems.

The functional mushrooms found in LOCOCO® include:

+ Lion’s Mane: Potential cognitive benefits, such as supporting memory and focus.

+ Cordyceps: Linked to potential improvements in energy levels and exercise performance.

+ Maitake: Immune system support and anti-inflammatory properties.

What mushrooms are in LOCOCO?
Three: Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Maitake. Every bag and sachet of Original Spice and Lux Vanilla has all three.

Why don’t I taste any mushroom?
Because our mushroom extracts are highly concentrated (8:1), it takes very little to get the equivalent of nearly 1 g of functional mushrooms into every cup. The flavors that lead are dark chocolate and the spices—cinnamon, ginger and cayenne in Original Spice and deep, sweet vanilla in Lux Vanilla.

Are they organic and tested?
Yes. All three functional mushrooms are certified organic. Every lot is tested for heavy metals and microbes, and for its active compounds: beta-glucans in Lion’s Mane (at least 15%) and Maitake (at least 8%), and cordycepin in Cordyceps.

What's in your cup

We obsessively craft our recipes with chefs for taste as well as purpose

  • Richness

    Cacao + dark cocoa blend

    Single-source cacao meets European Dutch‑processed dark cocoa. It’s real cocoa, not a cocoa-flavored powder, which is why it holds up stirred into espresso.

  • Warmth

    Ceylon cinnamon, ginger + cayenne

    Ceylon cinnamon, never cassia. Ginger for brightness. And cayenne bought inside a heat band, 35,000 to 40,000 Scoville units and no hotter, so the finish is warm, never hot.

  • Body

    Organic coconut milk

    It’s why LOCOCO is creamy without a drop of dairy, and why you can blend it with water alone and still enjoy it.

  • Sweetness

    Coconut sugar + monk fruit sweetener

    Just a touch of caramel sweetness from organic coconut sugar, blended with monk fruit sweetener. 5g sugar per serving.

  • Depth

    Ancient sea salt

    Unrefined salt mined from an ancient seabed in Utah. Salt is the unsung hero in every great recipe, calling forth every flavor to deepen.

  • Vitality

    Lion’s Mane, Maitake + Cordyceps

    Three organic functional mushrooms, extracted from the fruiting body and concentrated 8:1. That’s the equivalent of nearly 1 g in every cup, and you won’t taste them.

My favorite cocoa on the market, I love the spiced kick. I use it in my coffee in the morning to add some creamy sweetness and drink it on it's own for a warm treat at night. I also appreciate the low sugar content; it's become my kids' go-to dessert that I always say yes to.

Bethany - thank you so much for the kind words. Love that your kids enjoy it, too — that was definitely a goal: to make something healthy that pass even the kids taste test!

This product is absolutely amazing. I look forward to drinking it every night as my end-of-day treat for myself. It’s filled with high-quality ingredients and doesn’t feel heavy like other hot chocolate brands do. It actually feels nutritious while consuming it. I can’t recommend it higher.

Jordan! So glad you're enjoying—thank you for leaving a review.

LOCOCO has genuinely become part of my everyday routine. The Original Spice flavor is my go to every morning, rich, cozy, perfectly spiced, and somehow still feels clean and good for you. It’s become my favorite daily ritual and honestly helps me slow down and start the day on a better note.

At night, I’ll sometimes switch to the Lux Vanilla flavor when I want something comforting and calming while winding down. Both flavors feel indulgent but I don’t have to feel guilty enjoying it, and you can truly taste the quality ingredients.

Also, for the hot days, I just pour it over ice and it’s delicious that way as well!

LOCOCO somehow made a cocoa drink feel elevated, functional, and comforting all at once. I’m completely hooked!!

Such a rich and deep flavor! Kids love it after playing in the cold. It is also great to add to the base of chili or mole. I LOVE it!

Elinor! Thank you for the review — please send us your recipes for chili and mole! Gotta try!

I learned about Lococo over two years ago and fell in love with the product. It is rich and flavorful. We enjoy it in our morning coffee frothed with a little milk. We have given it out as gifts to several people who also enjoy it.
We will continue to use it and order more.

Nancy, thank you for this kind review. We are grateful to have you as a longtime customer and of course chuffed you enjoy LOCOCO!

Why we made LOCOCO

We wanted a cocoa rich enough to feel like a treat and good enough to drink every day. Nothing on the shelf was both, so we made it ourselves in a Park City home kitchen, then crafted it with chefs until it was right.

Here's to good mornings—and even better afternoons and evenings,
