The family at AtlasAdventured recommends coming here!…read moreAmazing place for drinks! The name caught my eye, the inside of the restaurant made me want to stay all day, but the hot chocolate is what stole the show. We ordered a few coffee drinks, which were so delicious, but the kids' hot chocolate was the best. It's more of a drinking chocolate, thick and rich but not too sweet. It's in a great location, right on the esplanade and directly across from the bus and train stations. Cute interior and very clean. Friendly staff. They have beautiful chocolates for sale and a great selection of baked goods. We only came for the drinks, but next time we'll get some delicious looking bakes!

This place was so darn good we visited twice inside five hours. It was reminiscent of the 1960's…read moreold world quality inside with a courtesy, charm and politeness that's really so hard to find now. We had come off the hovercraft from Southsea, crossed over the railway foot bridge onto the esplanade and we popped in here for cappuccinos. We bought some of their hand and home made chocolates to have with the cappuccinos and the coffee and chocolates were both exceptionally good. After several hours touring this fabulous island, that claims signs of habitation as far back as 350,000 years ago, a steam railway, with specialist garlic growing farms, a distillery that produces 57 proof gin and has an abbey of Benedictine monks we were ready for more great coffees. We also decided to buy a box of 24 chocolates (£25) and a half pound of organic Columbian ground coffee. We were already weighed down with far too many bottles of strong gin, various beers and a range of goodies from the wonderful garlic farm. As the lady boxed the delectable chocolates I noticed chocolate coated figs so in went some figs too. We had a great day. In fact we do this isle a disservice as we should go for a week.

This is a lovely little choc shop just up from Cowes Parade…read more They sell the best chocs, stocking brands such as Valrhona, montezuma etc, and also make their own on the premises - their truffles are wonderful and the "turtles" (home baked pecans with a layer of salt caramel covered in milk or plain choc) are scrummy. If you are in cowes and like proper choc make sure you come and see, taste, buy and eat their wares. Mmmmm Edit: Qyper of the week (12 May 2010) Yay! This shop is almost worth the trip to the Isle of Wight by itself! Cowes is fab, especially in the summer... but then I am biased as I live here most of the week ;)

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!

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! It's all about the chocolate…read more.. Chocolate Delight run chocolate making workshops in various locations around the country. I attended the workshop in Brighton, and my gosh, what a perfect way to spend a Saturday morning. There was 11 of us in the group this morning, a perfect number to get the best out of our class. We were in the company of a chap called Alan who was a chocolate expert (my perfect man, perhaps??) who not only taught us how to make the most amazing chocolate truffles, but all so taught us a lot about the history of chocolate. There was also a chocolate fondue on the table with marshmallows for dipping (OMG!!), plus licking of bowls, spoons, hands etc was in no way discouraged, in fact it was expected! First we were shown how to make the truffle centre for our chocolates, next how to temper the chocolate for the outer shells, and finally how to add a coating such as coconut, chopped nuts or cocoa powder. The finished product were 50 beautiful, if slightly mis-shapen chocolates to take away with us. We were also shown how to package them in bags and cellophane, tied with ribbon. What a great experience and lovely gifts for friends (yeah right!) And so what if I came out with chocolate in my hair, its all part of the process...

This is not a standard cafe - nothing on the menu is savory, it's all about the puddings. Milkshakes, cakes and ice cream sundaes are the order of the day, all served with lashings of chocolate. Also, on those few summery days we have it's worth noting that the air conditioning is brilliant, so the chocolate is eaten at the optimimum temperature and you leave feeling cooler, more relaxed and more than a little full.
