You get a very personal service in here, and they are a nice independent retailer. Although a little pricey, the occasional treat is worth it, and you get what you pay for. The have a good variety on display and even have gift presents for your loved ones for you to buy. The shelves aren't too over stocked, but they do have a large variety of sweets, chocolates and candy for you to choose from. Try the fruit centre's - they wont disappoint. I will visit again and this place has my seal of approval.

This is by far my favourite chocolate shop EVER! The…read morecustomer service in Chouchoute is second to none. Pierre and his wife run the store and they really are so friendly and offer a completely tailored service. Pierre obviously cares about his customers and will give you a guided tour of all the wonderful and artfully created chocolates on display, even letting you sample a few on the house. This is no Thorntons! Each piece is a work of art, from dark chocolate dipped cherries and orange peel to Champagne truffles; everything is beautifully made and packaged making a gift from Chouchoute a real treat. I always come here to buy presents for family and have a chat with Pierre. Everyone should sample some chocolates from this shop - you'll never settle for Roses again, that's for sure! I couldn't recommend Chouchoute highly enough. One of Birmingham's true gems.

You can also order online via their website.

We were visiting the castle here on a little road trip and were excited about the market on the…read moresquare when we exited. I hopped into this little chocolate shop because the placard was so enticing, and when I walked in the counter lady had her back turned and said "hello" without turning around. I browsed for a few minutes, decided what I wanted from the case, but she still hadn't turned around. So I browsed some more, then stood in front of the case, right behind her, for an uncomfortable few minutes, with her still not turning, shuffled to make sure she knew I was there... then sadly turned and walked out. It was about 15:20 on a Friday, so it didn't seem like any kind of closing time to me... I couldn't figure out what was up, but... that's probably something that needs to be addressed. Shesh. I love giving my money away for chocolate, but I'm not going to beg you for it.

I entered the shop and said hello to which I got nothing then was rudely asked if I knew what I wanted! I asked a question regarding some particular chocolates I was looking for; got a very rude and blunt one word answer and not further help or suggestions! She continued to eat her chocolates and I just found the whole experience of this shop sooooo off putting and rude! I certainly won't be back! Such a disappointment! Shame she missed out on the £55 I spent up the road on chocolates with another shop!

I have lived in Oxford for about 6 months now, and have loved the great range of pubs, coffee…read morehouses, and restaurants. However, I have a longstanding preference for not repeating myself, either in terms of venues or or meals. Coco Noir has forced me to violate that personal rule. I've been there more times than I've been anywhere else in Oxford, many times over, and I don't feel guilty at all. Worse still, I almost always get the langostinos, which are near-divine Sicilian pastry, filled with a range of creamy goodness. The proprietor is so warm and friendly, and recognises us every time. The coffee is great, and priced affordably. The Belgian chocolates are just beautiful, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting--bringing in a range of people. Today, there was a pensioner couple, a single lady, a couple of boisterously polite tweens with their mums, and four young attractive Italian ladies. Bottom line: go whenever you can, tip well, and savour EACH flavour of the glorious langostinos!

This is a independently owned all in house made chocolateria. This is evident when you walk in and see trays of freshly made chocolates. One of the nicest things about this store is the friendly personable staff. My visit felt like a personal shop. I was offered samples and talked through all the options available for me when buying a box. One of my favourite things I bought from here was the hot chocolate sticks which was 2 for £3.50. The idea is you mix these chocolate blocks on a stick into hot milk and makes you a hot chocolate! Surprisingly good! The quality of the chocolate is fantastic! Brands like Lindt have a certain taste to them, and this place certainly has its own taste too. Their unique array of flavours are executed well without tasting cheap or inauthentic. I plan to visit this place again very soon! If your into quality chocolate and live in Birmingham I highly recommend a visit! They are closed on both Sunday's and Wednesday though!

This is a very pleasant and fairly recent addition to the ever-growing Jewellery Quarter…read moreindependent shop scene. The outside is super-clean and the inside follows suit. It's all very tasteful and I suppose reflective of the prices. I chatted with the very nice owner and asked about the chocolates. It's worth noting that many items on sale are not made in the shop but rather bought in and branded as Chocolate Quarter. This doesn't at all mean they won't be nice or that the quality will be inferior. That doesn't follow at all. But it's not quite the 100% artisan shop that you might initially assume. The chocolates at the counter are made in the shop. I bought the minimum 4, selected because they were interesting flavour combinations, but I had to have them in a card presentation box and pay £6 for the priveledge. Flavour wise they were all very nice but I wasn't blown away considering they were £1.50 each! And they're pretty small, similar in size to the kind of chocolates you'd get in an everyday 'branded' selection box. So there are very many things to like about this shop and I love that they make some of their own products, but I was left a tad disappointed by the experience. I can't award 5***** because the prices are just too much in my opinion. You may well think differently and I'd encourage you to pop by. A choc filled box would certainly make a lovely gift.
