About
The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Café at the Outlets at Castle Rock is the first RMCF café concept in the United States — opened in 2018 by Bri and Jacob Blaylock in Suite 820. The Blaylocks paired the iconic Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory candy case with a full specialty-coffee bar, turning a classic chocolate stop into a sit-and-stay destination.
The cafe pours custom espresso drinks, lattes, mochas, and specialty beverages alongside the full RMCF chocolate counter — caramel apples, hand-dipped truffles, fudge, chocolate-covered strawberries, and seasonal candy boxes. Mission per the brand: "Stay and enjoy specialty coffee beverages alongside mountain-sized, handcrafted chocolates."
In May 2026 the Blaylocks expanded with a second concept at the same outlet center: Griddled Crêpes & Paninis in Suite 175.

📍 Local Insights
🥇 First RMCF Café in America: Castle Rock's location is the original Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory café concept — the chain's first U.S. test of pairing the candy counter with a full specialty-coffee program. Locally owned by Bri and Jacob Blaylock since 2018.
🥞 Sister Concept Around the Corner: The Blaylocks opened Griddled Crêpes & Paninis in May 2026 in Suite 175 — about a 10-minute walk along the outer strip. Different food, same family, same Outlets.
🍎 Caramel Apples Made On-Site: Watch staff hand-dip caramel apples and chocolate-covered strawberries through the candy-case window — a classic RMCF Outlets ritual.
🎁 Holiday & Mother's Day Tins: Seasonal candy boxes and tins are produced in-store; check the front displays around Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, and Christmas.
🚗 Parking: Suite 820 sits on the inner ring of the Outlets — pull into the central lot off Factory Shops Blvd and walk in past the main entrance.

"Highly regarded as a Castle Rock outlet staple since 2018. Reviewers consistently praise the freshness of hand-dipped chocolates, caramel apples, and the friendly family-run feel. The cafe addition (espresso bar paired with the candy counter) is called out as a unique reason to linger longer than a typical chocolate stop."
