Missed the hot chocolate glad I found it here. Best chocolate in london in my opinion
Update:
Since Feb 2020 they refurbished and added a small cafe and seats (which is exactly what I suggested a couple of years earlier :)), though you may need to ask to use the toilet.
Though I can imagine seats being full during busy times.
Still a pretty great selection for a Hotel Chocolat store.
You may need to ignore older pics from me and others. I'll try to remember to add updated pics (including cafe) when I next visit.
NOTE: This branch will be closed from 22nd Jan till 10th Feb 2020 for refurbishment, and will reopen with a Cafe!! (as suggested in my previous review! :) )
The new cafe probably won't be using Velvetiser machines anymore, so if you are considering buying a Velvetiser and want to try some full portions for a couple of quid, get there before 22nd Jan!
I guess some of the existing review pictures will then become obsolete, wonder if it'll be easy to clean them up? (though thank you for your service to everyone involved!)
Older review:
Relatively large branch!
They do not have a sit down cafe (that’s probably the biggest improvement I can suggest), but they do serve ice cream and hot chocolate (remember to get a VIP card for 10% off).
In fact the hot chocolate is made using same Velvestiser machines that they sell, so an excellent opportunity to try before you buy!
Exquisite chocolate & lovely cafe, I loved the milkshake!
I usually go here for the hot chocolates and cold choc shakes when I'm working in the office. Decadent to say the least! The cacao-infused whipped cream topping is unique and certainly eye catching as I notice envious/curious looks in the office.
The service is brilliant and Teddy is fantastic!
Wow, pleasantly surprised by the quality of the chocolate here. Got it home and the wife and I are huge fans despite 15 hours in a suitcase! Great selection for ages, celebration types, etc. and at all kind of price points as well. Samplers, different types of chocolates, even an egg you can break open with candy inside. You can't leave here without finding SOMETHING for the folks in your life that deserve a treat!
I had ice mocha with oat milk, I was so delicious. I do recommend, it's worth it to try. Staff Lorna was so lovely and helpful. Thanks
Make sure you get the coco whipped cream! It's literally the best thing I've ever tasted. If you're looking for artisanal hot Chocolate/coffee this is the place to go! Staff were friendly and nice, plus gave me 20% off. Hand sanitizer available and staff were all wearing masks despite the awful heat.
If you like chocolate, then this place is your heaven.
Have a hot chocolate in here - they are delicious!
Staff are great. Very friendly and welcoming.
Lovely staff and always a great choice of chocolate treats. This branch also has a little cafe serving hot drinks and ice cream.
We come here regularly to try something new and to stock up on our favourites.
It was a warm day and we stumbled across this store hoping to get some ice cream but ended up ordering strawberry choco shake, the gentlemen who served us has been very helpful and made our purchase pleasant.
