A rather different mix - a chocolate shop but also a hand-crafted jewellery shop. Something a…read morelittle bit different! The chocolate shop is all about luxury and ideal if you are looking for a special gift or just want to treat yourself (and quite rightly too). The hand-crafted jewellery is by mum and daughter design combo Kathie and Hattie Grimes. The jewellery has a very unique form and delicate. Types of jewellery iclude bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings. The little showroom/ workshop nestles under the eaves of the Grade 11 listed shop on the first floor. Downstairs is the chocolatier part of the shop with a wide wide range of traditional sweets. My favourite are the chocolate farmyard including a milk chocolate owl, a white chocolate sheep, a white chocolate green frog, a milk hedge hog, two white chocolate pink pigs and two mice, one milk and one white. Soooo sweet! Totally awesome! P.s. if you can't get to the shop you can order online - don't miss it!

I feel like a little kid every time I visit this sweet shop…read more It really does take me back down memory lane. Everything is presented beautifully and the choices are amazing. You can buy sweets or chocolates that you haven't seen for a while or stock up on all your favourites. I love the clear packaging your sweets are wrapped in to take home. They have a few sugar free items too so not everything is bad for your teeth. They have goody bags for kids and hampers as gifts. Located in the heart of the Chester city centre, a must for tourists or the locals.

Whenever i have a crazy sweety craving, i…read morecome to this shop and usually find what i was wanting, even if i didnt know i wanted it. this is the place to go to find soem of the old sweets from when you were a child that you cant find anymore. Its also a great place to go to get those last minute gifts you forget about. they have sweetie gift sets made up, and some hampers, all at reasonable prices. these are usually seasonable so for example, at halloween, you can find little sets with halloween sweets and the same at christmas. It may be quite a small store, but the vast array of different kinds of sweets more than makes up for the cramped surroundings. the staff are really friendly and know everything there is to know about their sweets. which is ideal if you are buying fro someone with allergies.

This is a nice Hotel Chocolat location, located on James Street in Harrogate town centre. It…read morefeatures a store and a small Cafe area, they manage to pack a lot into the space they have, without the store feeling too cramped. It is a premium chocolate brand, so the items are more suited for gifts than your day-to-day chocolate needs. The store inside seemed to match the high-end brand, it was presentable and modern, and the staff seemed average. They even had some of their own brand of alcoholic spirits too which sounded interesting. Sadly they didn't seem to be any sampling going on in-store on my recent visit. Opening Hours are in line with other shops in the town, closing at 17:30 Monday to Saturday, and an hour earlier on Sundays - not great but seems to be a problem throughout Harrogate's town centre. 4*

Nice store with great staff. If you love chocolate and just…read moreabout any product that can include chocolate in it this is the place to come. They stock everything from chocolate gin to balsamic vinegar. Not to forget the chocolate itself. There is a wide range of products so you will never be stuck for choice. It is a little pricy but you get what you pay for. Staff are nice but seem to struggle when it gets busy.

We do like Lindt chocolate and what's ace about this place is it allows you to pick the sweets you…read morelike and pay by weight with percentage discounts increasing the more you buy. Works out about £25 a kilo. There's a rich melting smoothness to their processed chocolate and the mouth feel is delicious. Our favourites are the the gianduia baton and the cube shaped Nuxor gianduia with a whole hazelnut in each cube. The servers are always a smiling friendly bunch, handing out free truffle sweets as customers go through the door. The store was frenetic with people queued up to get in as it's black eye Friday weekend and its 29 days to Christmas so it was noisy hectic. You'd think there was an international shortage chocolate the way some folks were behaving. To me it was Lindt & Sprüngli. It was confectioner David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his son Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann who started it all being the first to produce chocolate in solid form in the German-speaking area of Switzerland. By 1930, the company's name changed to Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG. Now it's a world wide super brand.

Lindt have been the 'master chocolatiers' since 1845 according to their slogan. As far as I'm…read moreconcerned they're still damn good at it! Their chocolate is amazing and quite expensive too! Everyone loves receiving a Lindt bunny at Easter time or a Lindt Santa at Xmas time, but why can't we enjoy Lindt all year round? Well we can now, because they have a discounted outlet in Cheshire Oaks outlet village in Ellesmere Port. This place is soo good, it smells of chocolate when you walk in, they have a wide range of Lindt products, some of which are discounted up to around 30% off their RRP. They stock a massive range of their branded chocolate bars which range from 55% cocoa up to 88% (too bitter for my liking) cocoa! They occasionally do great offers like but so many bars get something free. Well worth a look for all chocolate enthusiasts and Lindt connoisseurs alike!

Good grief my last review of this location (or at least the last one visible on Yelp) was over 6…read moreyears ago when a cappuccino was £1. Today with my membership card (free) it was £3.16. We got two ice cream sundaes and cappuccinos and sat outside in warm sunshine. As we are at the start of our two month 'nice to know ya' tour we loaded up on chocolate. We'll visit hotel places that we've been before in the South of France, Andorra and Spain to say thanks for the memories, as I'm afraid out best before dates are running out but it couid be worse it could be our use before dates instead. We've never had a bucket let alone a bucket list but what we do have is a book it list. As an example of hope over experience I've booked a 40 day Caribbean holiday to start the first week in January 2027. I do have all year round travel insurance though as that's sensible. It's approaching dusk in Vatican City and as I write still no fumata bianca. It'll be habemus papam by Saturday and hopefully not a bloody Italian.

This branch of Hotel Chocolat is located inside the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet in Ellesmere…read morePort, despite being in a Designer Outlet mall, it isn't an "Outlet" store, and basically is a typical Hotel Chocolat store, it is a slightly larger branch than my local store at the Manchester Arndale and Manchester Market Street, yet it does not have a cafe which some larger stores have such as the one in Liverpool, which are some of the closest other branches this chain has to this one. The service here was lacking, especially compared to other stores which was a shame, based on past experience, more recently at a branch in Newcastle, and the Manchester Market Street branch, I've been impressed with the service and friendly staff, they were engaged and wanted to help the customer, offering samples etc and talking about products, sadly this was not the case here. The product range was fine, and basically pretty typical of the Hotel Chocolat brand, which is a premium chocolate brand which sells chocolates with a sort of twist, such as a chocolate infused iced tea, which I have not tried yet, having been put off by the price and the unusual nature of the product, and the fact I don't see them sell that many either in any of their stores. As mentioned, the location is okay in the Designer Outlet, yet slightly out of place, perhaps it would be better in the "shops" part, away from the Outlet stores, the service also is poor, yet the overall feel of the store is okay to warrant a two-star rating.

They also do chocolate parties which sound like my idea of heaven!

Although the chocolates are hand made the prices are excellent and I was able to get a selection of 6 chocolates (like Thornton's but a fraction of the price) for just £2.30, I also picked up a couple of gifts for my nieces back home which was great (chocolate is always a good bet). We also had a coffee in the cafe which was again very reasonably priced. The staff are nice and I got the feeling I was served by the owner.
