Melange Chocolate

Amazing chocolates (bars, drinks) with the warmest service and most cosy atmosphere! I stopped by Melange today to pick up some chocolate bars; they are all handmade and there’s a wonderful selection of dark, milk and white ones. The owner was the most patient and friendly lady - we had a nice chat while I was choosing the bars. It has a really nice space for people to have a hot chocolate too. This may sound like an overstatement but the other reviews speak for itself. Don’t miss Melange if you are looking for a nice place to relax and enjoy the best chocolate!

Owner was so lovely, her cat was the cutest. My partner and I got 2 hot chocolates and we instantly fell in love. I came by a couple of days later to buy the chocolate covered espresso beans and some cocoa powder to make at home. My partner devoured the espresso beans in less than a week. He has also decided to come to the cafe every week from now on 😂 Let that be a testament to how amazingly delicious this place is.

This place is truly magical. The hot chocolate is exquisite, the best I have had outside France and potentially even Italy. The entire place screams warmth and intimacy, like a little Parisian Cafe down a back street. When we entered we were welcomed warmly by the owner and the powerful smell of chocolate. We had two salted caramel hot chocolates that were £4.50 and we thought extremely good value for money given that high street brands charge a comparable price for inferior products. Both of us had the same word for our hot chocolates "heaven". The hot chocolate was dark, thick and comforting doesn't seem enough of a word for it. I felt such a warm glow in my tummy after. They also sell hot chocolate, a very good chocolate cake, cocktails, chocolate powder, cocoa nibs and multiple flavours of artisan chocolate. We took home a chilli and orange Artisan chocolate £5 and a ginger and lime Artisan chocolate also £5. The chocolate was amazing! " We adored meeting the owners friendly cat who lazed about meowing for food. We also were delighted by the vintage feel of the shop and the information the owner gave us about how different parts of the shop came together and how old parts were like the gorgeous, round 1970s lamps. It is a fitting setting for a book or film, or a book, film or poem to be written or to watch the world go by while sipping a sensual hot chocolate! We will be back!

A big shout out to our local artisan chocolatier Isabelle at Melange chocolate! She never ceases to impress me with her creativity with chocolate! I’m not sure whether I’ll take the giant chocolate lollipop or the chocolate lipstick this time :) Isabelle creates all her quality chocolates and unique combos, my favourite being white chocolate with cardamom and nutmeg! She also does the best hot chocolate, thick and comforting!! My family loved her truffles at Christmas and the box was emptied very quickly! The café is also a great place to hang out, with a welcoming and friendly owner!! Highly recommended!!!
