This branch of Thorntons is located towards the start of the intu Eldon Square Shopping centre, it…read moreis located fairly close to the likes of O2, Caffe Nero and The Works in the shopping mall. This store is really small, and despite being located in quite a new mall, this store is highly old-fashioned and not a great place to be. The cafe is located upstairs, with no lift access, the staircase its-self is a really old one, considering the mall was built in 1977, it felt like this store hadn't been refurbished of that kind ever since. The selection also was a little poor other than probably around one wall of products, which were traditionally stocked items at a Thorntons store. The staff didn't seem too helpful, I wasn't welcomed until they saw me taking photos around the store, which I have uploaded onto Yelp, which seemed a little self-serving, how they only offered to help me when they saw me taking pictures, perhaps because they thought I was a reviewer or undercover shopper of some sort. Overall, this store is a poor branch, it is highly old fashioned and a little poor too in terms of service and selection, hence sadly warranting a single one star rating.

This is an excellent café in Newcastle, with high quality products on offer, and for decent prices…read more We had divine hot chocolates, with real Thornton's chocolate flakes, marshmallows and cream. They really were delicious, and went down like a dream. Included in the price was a sample chocolate from one of the company's collections. I had a dark chocolate based on those from the city of Milan, and Mary had a Seville caramel. There were brownies and caramel shortcakes on offer for only £1, but I restrained myself from getting these, as I felt I would burst with an ounce more chocolate inside me. The staff member that served us was friendly and helpful, and filled up Mary's water bottle, no problem at all. Definitely recommended.

A chocolate lovers heaven - every kind of chocolate and sweet you could ever imagine…read more This shop in the centre of keswick is a bit of a tourist trap (understandably) but it also has a regular following as it sells such lovely chocolate items. The mint thins are a favourite and are a good after dinner treat. It's quite expensive in here, but it's worth it for high quality chocolate. They have a counter service where you can build your own box of chocolates, or they have lots of pre-boxed stuff - both there brand and others. They also sell novelty items such as chocolate mice. Worth a look in if you are in Keswick - I challenge you to resist coming out with something!
