I have lived in Oxford for about 6 months now, and have loved the great range of pubs, coffee…read morehouses, and restaurants. However, I have a longstanding preference for not repeating myself, either in terms of venues or or meals. Coco Noir has forced me to violate that personal rule. I've been there more times than I've been anywhere else in Oxford, many times over, and I don't feel guilty at all. Worse still, I almost always get the langostinos, which are near-divine Sicilian pastry, filled with a range of creamy goodness. The proprietor is so warm and friendly, and recognises us every time. The coffee is great, and priced affordably. The Belgian chocolates are just beautiful, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting--bringing in a range of people. Today, there was a pensioner couple, a single lady, a couple of boisterously polite tweens with their mums, and four young attractive Italian ladies. Bottom line: go whenever you can, tip well, and savour EACH flavour of the glorious langostinos!

This House of Chocolates really is what it says. It is a charming little shop on the corner of a…read morecharming green in Richmond. If it was all anymore enchanting it would be in a Disney cartoon. When I walk in I have to resist the urge to start chewing at the walls just to see whether this shop is actually made of chocolate. So, it is a relatively small premise, but simply filled to the brim. Mainly this shop sells individual chocolates; cream filled, praline, nougat, dusted, dark and many more. They also sell a section of Thortons chocolates as well. Because I came in near Christmas there was plenty of Christmas gifts, such as chocolate Santa's and snowmen. I'm sure Easter is just as well represented. This is also a prefect place to pick up gifts. There are walls of chocolate gift boxes, ranging in size from a few chocs to around a hundred. Anyone want to buy me a present from here?

There are pocket money toys and lots of pocket money sweets. If you (or your children) are missing sherbet dabs, sugar mice or flying saucers made from that weird thick rice papery stuff and full or sherbet, then this is the place to come. Small children can't see these sweets unless they borrow the steps and then they can spend ages choosing what to buy. There are also toys, games and books. The selection isn't huge but then the shop isn't big. You'd be able to find a present for a child under the age of 5 and possibly older. There are seasonal goods so if you are short of a Halloween mask or a chocolate Father Christmas then this is a good place to come. In fact it is a good place to come at any time of the year just because there aren't many shops like this left.

You get a very personal service in here, and they are a nice independent retailer. Although a little pricey, the occasional treat is worth it, and you get what you pay for. The have a good variety on display and even have gift presents for your loved ones for you to buy. The shelves aren't too over stocked, but they do have a large variety of sweets, chocolates and candy for you to choose from. Try the fruit centre's - they wont disappoint. I will visit again and this place has my seal of approval.

Pierre and his wife run the store and they really are so friendly and offer a completely tailored service. Pierre obviously cares about his customers and will give you a guided tour of all the wonderful and artfully created chocolates on display, even letting you sample a few on the house. This is no Thorntons! Each piece is a work of art, from dark chocolate dipped cherries and orange peel to Champagne truffles; everything is beautifully made and packaged making a gift from Chouchoute a real treat. I always come here to buy presents for family and have a chat with Pierre. Everyone should sample some chocolates from this shop - you'll never settle for Roses again, that's for sure! I couldn't recommend Chouchoute highly enough. One of Birmingham's true gems.

When people tell me they don't like chocolate, I feel suspicious about them. When people tell me…read morethey don't like Minerva Chocolate, I trust them even less. This may seem a little unfair, but trust me - anyone who doesn't enjoy a hot chocolate in their cafe, or one of their Belgium treats is NOT my sort of person. This cafe-cum-chocolatiers on Cheap Street is a chocolaholic's paradise. The friendly staff are at hand to tell you everything you want about these sweet treats, and will lure you into buying more than you wanted with free samples of the wickedly tempting stuff. They also host confectionery making parties for an alternative hen party; but brides beware. You may not fit into your dress after an evening at Minerva!

Can we just take a moment to applaud the WONDERFUL pun in the shop name? Isn't it brilliant? I…read morewanted to really love this shop. I get very excited about little sweet shops, but this one fell short for me. Despite the amazing name. There's nothing wrong with the shop itself, it's just not... amazing. The fudge she asked us to try was nice, and actually reasonably priced. But there was nothing in the cute little shop that wowed me. The truffles looked great, but £3.95 for 100g seemed very pricey - rivalling London prices. And there were some animal crafted chocolates that really weren't very good. I wouldn't have sold them if I'd made them (not that I know how to do that, but still). It's a cute shop, it's got a great name and the people here were lovely. It just wasn't going to make me want to spend any money. Usually truffles are the first thing I'll spend me pennies on, but I wasn't tempted this time. I almost gave them four stars for the name alone, but the shop just didn't do it for me. Which is probably good for my waistline.
