Cocoa Club comes to C-Town
By Jeanne Souldern Sopris Sun Correspondent In 2019, Carbondale’s master of many trades, Mark Burrows, began his chocolate-making career with Pollinator Chocolate. Since then, Pollinator has become the go-to for high-quality, single-source, small-batch chocolate bars, truffles and bonbons in the Roaring Fork Valley. Burrows is now dipping into a highly-anticipated business venture with the opening of the aptly-named Cocoa Club. This soon-to-open venue is another expression of Burrows's 20-year quest for the perfect bar of craft chocolate. The Cocoa Club, with an anticipated opening in January 2023 in Red Rock Plaza, next to Mana Foods, is an eclectic space that will satisfy your richest chocolate fantasies.
