Absolutely loved our experience at Melt Chocolates! We did the Bean to Bar chocolate-making class…read morewhile visiting London, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The class was the perfect mix of educational and fun. Our instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and kept everything lighthearted while teaching us a ton about chocolate and the entire bean-to-bar process. And, of course, getting to make our own chocolate made it even better. We had such a great time that we've already recommended the experience to friends and family. If you're in Notting Hill--or visiting London in general--I'd definitely put this on your list. Great people, great chocolate, lots of laughs, and a really memorable experience. Absolutely worth doing!

The ones I tried are delicious! Will absolutely be back and recommend this spot to others. So excited to gift a box to my S/O and family!
This branch of Whittard Of Chelsea is located in Westfield London Shopping Mall, overall the store…read moresize is average for a Whittard store, it is probably the same size yet more modern than my local branch on Manchester - Market Street. The store, however, is slightly more modern with glass windows, through being located in a huge shopping mall, hence in this regard can compare to another one of my local branches Manchester - Lowry Outlet, although this branch does appear to be smaller than that. The amount of samples around the store and service was of a poorer quality than what I'm used to from the Whittard chain which was a shame. The overall product selection also could have been better for a store of its' size, especially when comparing to other branches of Whittard and the fact it is supposed to be a specialist in teas and coffees. Location: good Store Size: average Service: poor On comparison to other branches: poor Product range: poor I'm actually struggling here to warrant anything other than a single one-star rating for Whittard as simply my expectations were not met, and this store seemed to be rather poor to me.
I mainly like this place because they always have free samples of tea and hot chocolate, but…read moreWhittard also is a good place to go for buying gifts and mugs. They usually have sales on, and their tea sets are adorable- they are all handpainted and look really cute and quirky, which make them great presents. Their teas aren't bad either- there's plenty of choice, from herbal teas to hot chocolate and coffee. The Westfield branch isn't the biggest, but if you're in Westfield anyway, it's fun to have a quick look around.
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…read more It's sooooo guuuuuuud But a little expensive sometimes unless Sainsbos or Tescos has a special deal. If they do then grab as many as you can. Their best puds are the plethora of chocolate ones. The souffle is my favourite, rising at 140 deg C in the oven for a very precise 13 mins. Chocolate melting from within - so gorgeous and with a free glass ramekin everyday. The little cups you can microwave into liquid chocolate are good too, and you get three so who gets the third one can be a good bargaining chip among couples. Oh, Gu... you are very moorish and I'm proud that you're a local company of mine that does such good supermarket puds. I want you for my valentine. Now where did I put that umlaut?

I was fortunate to be make the Qype tasting event there and i was in a chocolate heaven. Mark Demarquette talked us through the event and the enthusiasm and pride in his chocolate made it very enjoyable. I tried the lemongrass from his oriental selection made with an award winning vietnamese chocolate. - The others i tried were the earl grey, ugandan chocolate orange, morrocan mint leaf tea. In all we sampled over 10 different chocolates and each one was tasty and satisfying. If you have are looking for chocolate presents then this is the place to visit They really do want you to sample the chocolates so dont be shy.

Every so often, you get lucky enough to meet someone who is not only passionate about what they do,…read morebut also happy to share this passion with you in an unselfish and unpatronising way. Marc Demarquette is just such a person. I was lucky enough to attend a qype event at this chocolate wonderland in Chealsea. As well as being allowed to sample some of the innovative (and incredibly delicious) flavours, we were also given an insight into the sourcing and development behind them, and even given some tips on making our own chocolate ganache - something I plan to impress my next dinner party guests with. Even without the background knowledge, Marc's passion shines out through his chocolates. From the jammy, fruity caramels of the british orchard collection to the inspired and unique fresh flavours in the orient collection, there really is something here for all tastes. Everyone I asked was hard-pressed to pick a favourite - I myself was torn between a highland malt infused creation and the extra-dark orange chocolate. The store is clean but inviting, and I hear rumours of marvellous displays in the lead up to Christmas. The staff are willing to explain what goes into the chocolates, and will even let you have a little sample too. Whether you're the type to savour the chocolates by having one a day, or someone who would lock themselves in and scoff the lot at once, get yourself down to this shop and enjoy!

I had no interest in Cadbury and came across articles recommending this luxury chocolate brand, so…read morewe ventured to this location out of only three. A vast range of chocolates and flavors could be found. The print on the packaging was quite distinct. ----- Espresso Shots Gift Tin: little solid chocolate drops shaped like coffee beans and flavored with rich roasted coffee (£16.95). Certainly powerful in coffee taste and yet not too bitter. Chocolate consistency was smooth with a tiny hint of grittiness from the ground coffee beans. Quality was good and best to eat a couple at a time. ----- Milkshake: choose your ice cream flavor. Add whipped cream (optional) (£5.95). My brother picked their one of their best sellers: Dark Chocolate ice cream flavor, made from a blend of three types of imported Dutch Cocoa. He thought it was good, although was too rich for him to finish. Toppings like gold sugar, rose petals, and wafer thin piece can be added at an extra cost. ----- The Belgravia store is along Motcomb Street lined with independent boutiques and restaurants. A couple of tables are outside in addition to indoor seating.

This was a worthwhile stop during our stroll along Brick Lane. Located in a small shop at the…read morecorner of Brick Lane and Bacon St. (just to add to its appeal), the vintage feel jives with the overall ambiance of the Brick Lane experience. But inside this shop is an experience all its own. Those of us well into our adult years will still get that proverbial "kid in a candy store" sense when walking into a place like this. The immediate reaction is "I'll take one of everything". The number of choices and sheer number of chocolates displayed in a confined space are both exhilarating and overwhelming at the same time. It was clear from the choices that this was a true artisan shop. In an act of fiscal and dietary restraint, we took away a half-dozen pieces. My wife always compares chocolatiers using their Chocolate Orange Peels (Chocolate Orangettes is what they called them at this place) as a benchmark. This place passed with flying colors. They also offered an intriguing Mango-infused Dark Chocolate with a pipet of Mango compote that you could inject before eating. It was also a highlight. The prices are fair for what this place is and the service is friendly, polite and efficient. If you are meandering up and down Brick Lane, this establishment is worth a stop. If you are a Chocolate fan, then this place is a must-stop. I guess there are people out there who are not chocolate lovers (or at least likers), but that is like not being a fan of oxygen from my perspective. I would like to stop again sometime to try one of the chocolate drinks. We opted to not get one this time on top of the candy pieces we bought to avoid the sugar overload. But they looked amazing from what I saw of others who did indulge.

The hot chocolate here is dark, rich, and if you order it with "triple chocolate," the cup itself is dunked in dark, milk, and white chocolate. So with each sip you can also lick and enjoy the thick chocolate on the cup--and eat it all with a spoon. Everything edible here can be drenched in chocolate. The people at the next table got a big slice of chocolate cake--with more chocolate poured over it. Incredible. I went to the Fitzrovia location and visited late so it wasn't crowded at all. A unique experience for chocolate lovers. Highly recommended!

(Tied in 1st for my favorite London chocolate was the Pump Street chocolate curated by Harrod's department store, and one from Whole Foods hah!) Paul A Young is famous and won awards for their salted caramel chocolates, unique and unlike any other I've had because they're much softer than the usual caramels, but at the same time not completely liquid. I personally thought their brownies were the best part - they seemed overly dense but were so rich and perfectly decadent. I also purchased the sampler of different varieties of milk and dark chocolates, and it was my least favorite because I felt the darks were a little too dry and bitter and the milks were too creamy and sweet. I'd recommend you taste the samples on the main table before purchasing. The truffles were beautiful and the flavors unique but personally I was not a big fan (except for the salted caramels). Overall, highly recommend a visit here for the salted caramels and brownies!

My CTG won't allow me to buy these expensive products for myself but it's a good destination for a nice present for someone special.

They let you try the various flavors on tap, from white chocolate to dark. There's a choice of the melted chocolate as is or added to milk.

Also choice of some topping, I got a huge marshmallow. Super tasty melted into the hot chocolate but again maybe too sweet / rich by the end. Also it's a pretty steep price: £5.70 for one with milk and a topping. All in all this is a hot chocolate to share both richness and price-wise.

I first tried their amazing hot chocolate at the Broadway Market in Shoreditch, served to me by lovely Jaz herself. The chocolate, which comes in many different flavors from caramel & chile to mint & raspberry, and seasonal flavors like Gingerbread, is super rich, deliciously-sweet, and even comes as a vegan version if you so choose. Their coconut whipped cream is the perfect topper. Hot chocolate is not all they excel at, however. Their breakfast & brunch menu packs a serious punch with loads of different toast, smoothie bowls, waffles, & yes, even salads. A lot of their food menu is also chocolate-inspired & sneaks it into their fare in unique & interesting ways. Come on a weekend & give their amazing French toast in a coconut, almond, & banana batter with cinnamon & cocoa dust. And don't forget their dessert menu: ice sandwiches, chocolate fondue, sorbets, and my personal favorite, their hard milkshakes made with your choice of booze & premium ice cream. If you love coffee, try their vanilla milkshake with a shot of cafe liqueur. It's the best milkshake I've had yet. If you're not feeling chocolate, no worries. Their coffees & teas, spirits & beers, & even cocktails will ensure this will be a happy day for you.

Topping options include regular whipped cream, coconut whipped cream and mini marshmallows. I went for the raspberry dream. The texture wasn't rich and thick like drinking chocolate, but much lighter and almost not sweet enough. I couldn't taste the raspberry in the hot chocolate. I was a fan of the coconut whipped cream, however, which was unique and added a yummy touch. These guys sell a selection of chocolatey baked goods as well as their brand of drinking chocolate in house.
