Beautiful Chocolate, I have been buying from their website for years and I was sooo excited when I…read morefound this shop! The chocolates are beautiful, i've bought them a lot for presents and always get great responses from the people I have given them too (though to be honest on more than 1 occassion I have eaten them before I have managed to give them to the person they were bought for!)

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!

I would rate higher, but they charge more for their ramen noodles than Tesco/Sainsbury's does…read more Other than that, it's a great shop to go to if you have a hankering for oriental food. It's not just chinese food & ingredients you can find here, there's also indonesian, filipino, thai, japanse, korean etc that you can get here. Where else can I get frozen siu mai in Southampton? It was in this shop that I first introduced the husband to ramen noodles in a packet (super cheap in Canada where I'm originally from) and he's now hooked .. so yay to oriental food shop in a hidden corner of an industrial estate! We picked up the noodles, several packages of dried rice noodles, some pork marinade (dried and paste), siu mai, a good quality wok and other delightful things. What impressed me that they are also a wholesalers. So if I felt like getting a 5kg vat of peaches, takeaway containers and a massive amount of peanuts this is the place to come. Eat your heart out Costco.
