Loved loved the mushroom risotto with spelt that's on the side of the Turnips store in the Borough Market! I was given a sample as I was walking by and it was so good I had to get the full plate. The mushroom flavor is really umami and adds a nice earthiness but the real star is the spelt which I love the texture of. While the risotto is creamy with cheese on top, it doesn't feel too heavy and was the perfect lighter meal. read more

The Borough Market was packed this past Saturday when I went. Luckily, Turnips offers quick service and delicious, fresh strawberries covered in chocolate. They had about a hundred cups of clean, fresh strawberries on a table waiting to be doused in chocolate. This made service much quicker so that every customer could enjoy their dessert within seconds. I do wish they added just a bit more chocolate because it didn't properly sink down the cup and cover all the strawberries. read more

We spent two weeks in the UK, and these chocolate-covered strawberries were hands down the best sweet treat we had! Quite possibly the best food item of the entire trip! We stopped by during our first few days in London, then left the city and didn't return until the night before our flight home. After arriving by train, we rushed to our hotel, dropped our bags, and made a beeline here for one last cup of those luscious strawberries drenched in that incredible chocolate sauce. We arrived just ten minutes before closing, and thank goodness we did! We will return to London purely to get more of these berries. They are that damn good. To those about to nosh, we salute you! And are jealous!! read more

Just follow the long line to the Turnips stall at the Borough Market to find this sweet treat of delicious fresh ripe strawberries in a cup drenched with warm chocolate sauce. The lines are kind of crazy but it moves quickly and they have it down to a science. Pay first, get on line, get handed your cup of goodness. Devour and enjoy. Worth the calories but hey, strawberries are a healthier snack! read more

I love having a future date with the tooth fairy! The viral chocolate covered strawberries are so worth the 6 euros and the long but fast moving line. The strawberries are ripe, juicy and large covered in sweet milk chocolate. Tucked inside Borough Market, it's worth the maze to find the stall. Lime moves very quick because staff has a really efficient process. They sell fresh veggies and other items but the starlight is the strawberries. It's refreshing during the summer heat and be sure to grab a cute burlap tote from here! read more

Is there a long line? Yes - but, it moves quickly. Is it expensive for a cup of strawberries and chocolate? Also yes - but worth it! It's also a solid starting point if you go with hungry kids and are trying to figure out what to get them. Get them a cup of strawberries and then figure out the rest with already happy kids. read more

I was so excited to visit this location due to all of the online hype but that is exactly what the experience was as well. It was overhyped in my opinion. It was strawberries covered in chocolate which is already difficult to eat while walking around London. Second it is hard to locate and when you finally find it, you will need to move quickly throughout the line and will not be able to ask questions throughout the line. After the line you will also need to get out of the area before getting the chance to enjoy the cup of strawberries because there are no designated areas to stand in either. read more

Had to try the viral strawberry cups and they were worth the hype. Don't be deterred by the long lines. This place has got queuing down to a science. The lines are very long and wrap all around to the back of the area in a multiple Serpentine manner however they move extremely quick. Getting up to the last corner someone asks how many you want, yells ahead to the people running the tills (multiple of them) where you simply pay and then circle around front to tell the final stop again how many you ordered. They fill the cups with chocolate and pass them off. The cups are perfection. Each of the strawberries are perfectly ripe and they are large. The chocolate is delicious and more than enough to have a good amount with every single bite. Not every viral food lives up to expectations but this absolutely does! read more

One of the few things here that are hyped up on social media and actually live up to the expectations. Strawberries are so fresh and perfectly ripe. I watched them cut up hundreds of strawberries right behind the counter and place them in cups. The line is long but they sure do move quickly. 8.5 pounds. Yes it is speedy. But you came all the way here, so YOLO. Perfectly ripe and fresh strawberries with a delicious chocolate. I licked up the last bit. It was so good that I came here twice. read more

This place is for sure overhyped and i recommend not spending your money here. $11.35 is way too expensive for a cup of strawberries with chocolate on top. A lot of my strawberries were already going bad and were mushy, which was a bummer and felt like a ripoff. The chocolate was really good, but you have to eat it fast or it dries up quickly. There's a lot of chocolate at the bottom of the cup to eat, which I did enjoy. The service is super quick and they keep the line moving quickly and efficiently. I wouldn't pay for these again. Another viral internet place. read more

3.5 stars. We had to try the viral chocolate covered strawberries since we were in close proximity to Borough Market. I will say that the line is very fast, but chaotic. You make your payment first, but they don't give you any receipt or number, which I know is to keep the line moving. As you approach the staff that fills the orders, you just repeat what you paid for, but at that point, one staff member has not communicated with the other what you paid for, so it can get confusing. We tried them twice during our trip and on the second one, it could have used more chocolate. The cups of strawberries are covered in a melted, warm milk chocolate and they give you a little wooden spoon. I suggest that you start digging in right away because the chocolate can harden quickly and it is best enjoyed while still melty. The strawberries we got were nice and red, a bit juicy, but not overly sweet. Price is on the steeper side, but they are viral after all. If you don't want chocolate, you can just get the cup without the sauce. Do not go there on the weekend. Go during the week, as early as you can. read more

Why is there ONLY 5 stars on this page?! It's a perfect 10!! Worth the hype. Worth the long travelling distance. Worth the calories. WORTH IT. Run, don't walk there. Run off the calories and get two of them. That good!! Tried the mango OJ, and it was just ok. Just get the chocolate covered strawberries and your taste buds will be dancing in Belgian chocolate! read more

Famed chocolate covered strawberries! Line moves super fast so don't be intimidated by that. Actual dessert was quite nice, fresh juicy strawberries with decadent chocolate. That being said, nothing you couldn't do on your own and for cheaper. Glad I tried it! read more

This is the place for strawberries and chocolate sauce. Had to try it. Yes ... It was quite good. Not a long line. And a such a yummy treat. read more

We only tried the juice last time. So this time, we were sure to check out the stall again for the viral strawberries. Especially because we had seen so many people saying it was worth the hype. However, once we were actually at the stall again, we were hesitant to pay that much for a cup of fruit and chocolate. Luckily, they do give out samples so we were still able to try some! The strawberry was really sweet and juicy. And the chocolate tasted pretty good quality. But I will say I'm glad we didn't pay for a whole cup. It's really good but I don't know if it's that good. Especially if you don't have the biggest sweet tooth. read more

Strawberries are fresh and chocolate is smooth and sweet - 10/10! They are also extremely efficient with line management, they have the rows mapped out and take tap payment before you receive the fruit. The line moves fast and they hurry people out! read more

I almost skipped the iconic chocolate covered strawberries at Borough Market because I didn't fully understand the hype... These are only 6 euros and a perfect way to conclude a visit to the market. While the line may be a little chaotic to get them, the staff keeps it moving. I went in peak strawberry season in May. The strawberries were huge, juicy, and perfectly ripe. The chocolate was cool and not overly sweet, making them a match made in heaven. Defiantly a MUST TRY!! read more

At this point, you've seen these strawberries all over TikTok. Like many social media hyped things, it's hard to know what's actually good or just flocked to blindly by the masses. I can whole heartedly say that these strawberries are perfection and worth all the hype!! Now, I'll start by warning that given the current exchange rate, a cup will push you close to $11. That may feel like an absurd price to pay for strawberries but I've never had sweeter or tastier strawberries. I don't even like fruits and I gobbled these down so quickly. Every single strawberry was sweet. No sour or tart pieces at all. There's a line but it moves so quickly. You pay first and then grab your cup. They were kindly allowing those with strollers to skip the queue as it's too narrow to push through. Really thoughtful and aware of customer needs. My only regret is not going back for a second cup! read more

The bustling Burrough Markets offer a wide variety of well... everything. And locals will always recommend the chocolate covered strawberries at Turnips. Turnips is located towards the center of the Burrough Market, and you can't miss it with its vibrant colored fresh fruit drinks, and rows of jet red strawberries. The space looks like part farmers market and part industrial trendy juice bar. Odds are, by this point, you've already seen patrons walking around the market with clear cups jam-packed with strawberries and absolutely covered in chocolate. There is often a line, but the workers are so efficient that you will be in and out within minutes if not seconds. As you pass thru the checkout you are greeted with what I can only refer to as a "strawberry cup jamming chocolate covering technician," and they will ask how many cups you need (ordered). You get your cup(s), and you're on your way! Some tips: This is a market, and vendors prefer cash. Also, this delicacy is not only filled to the brim with chocolate, but the cup itself is probably dripping with it. Be sure to grab plenty of napkins AND forks to share this wonderful treat. Lastly, the Burrough Markets are only open until 5pm, so, make sure you call it an early dinner or pre-super snacks! It is truly a wonderful experience, and it's a lovely snack as you peruse the other vendors. Cheers!! read more

It's hard to go to Borough market and ignore the calls of the chocolate strawberries that consume social media. I don't totally understand the extent of the hype, as they're good chocolate strawberries, but just that. Sure, they're well done, but after about one or two strawberries I was kind of done with them despite how large of a portion they give. If you really love chocolate strawberries this is a great option. If you're just interested in dessert in general, there are many other options nearby. read more

I was in Burrough Market for the first time, looking for a mid-morning snack after walking all morning. Then I spotted Turnips. It wasn't all the fresh juices. It was the rows and rows of strawberries and the chocolate fountain of deliciousness : ) As your dietitian, I would probably not recommend this chocolate covered strawberry delight. But as your taste advisor? Go ahead, give it a try. Highly recommended! read more

Fresh juice is the best, especially on a warm day. Walking through Borough Market on a beautiful spring afternoon, we picked up the mango orange & mango exotic juice to go with our lunch. Both were refreshing, not too sweet and perfectly chilled. The selection here is wonderful and there are so many drinks to chose from. Highly recommend! read more

Tik tok made me come here. Mediocre strawberries that aren't soft or sweet covered in some mediocre milk chocolate? People all over social media are losing their minds. All I can say is really? I waited in line for this? Maybe some dark chocolate? Maybe a few toppings? Or simply using ripe berries? I mean it was ok - but it just goes to show you, just because it looks good online doesn't mean it is. read more

One, it's a farm stand with fresh fruits and vegetables. Two, because it was strawberry season, they had a couple (maybe more?) of employees cutting the tops off of strawberries and placing them into plastic cups. Then there were other employees serving the queue of guests who waiting patiently to order one of the cups of strawberries filled with warm chocolate. Had it been dark chocolate, I probably would have gotten in line. But for milk chocolate, I'll save the calories for something else more appealing. We did meet Konan. He was busy trying to keep the line open and moving by asking people who had purchased food elsewhere to not block his line. He also functioned as the barker who got more customers into line. It was amusing, listening as he barked in English, Spanish and a bit of Portuguese. Turns out that he is multi-lingual, speaking several additional languages and enjoyed his job and did it very well. In between his duties, we had a minute or two of conversation and he is definitely a book who should not be judged by his cover. After our chat, we walked through the rest of Borough Market, tasting some Wild Mushroom Spelt, and then buying some items from the Ginger Pig before returning to Turnips to purchase some fruit to take back to our hotel. We also got a Mango Smoothie that was pretty good. I'll add photos when I find them. read more

Tl;dr: the viral Tik tok strawberries are worth the hype! Located inside borough market, Turnips sells a variety of fruits, veggies, and food options including the chocolate covered strawberries. They also have fresh juices. We came around 4:00ish on a Wednesday. The line wasn't too long so we were able to get our strawberries quickly. The strawberries are fresh, juicy, and very sweet. I also tried the orange juice and that was very refreshing. Overall, these strawberries are viral for a reason and they lived up to the hype for me! read more

I had no idea these chocolate covered strawberries were viral until by bf mentioned it and I can see why. The strawberries are huge and the chocolate makes it 10x better. It is not overly sweet but still has the right amount of sweetness which is a plus. This cup of goodness was well worth it. The line also moved really fast! MUST TRY if you love strawberries! read more

First we had the wild mushroom risotto. Rich, earthy, and delicious! One of the better items we tried, so I'm surprised there wasn't a wait. We paired one of their juices with the risotto. We had the mango exotic which seemed to be a blend of ten different fruits. Ripe and sweet. Fun drink. Bold flavor which I think would blend well with a small bit of vodka Lastly, we had the chocolate covered strawberries which had a queue but moved very quickly (probably at the same speed as generally walking through Borough Market ). Delicious too! read more

The internet made me come here and my god was it ever worth it. I'm not kidding when I say this was my first stop when I got to London. This place, located in Borough Market, is not hard to spot. The rows on rows of strawberries in cups stand out like a sore thumb. I expected a long queue but I was pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. The service was so fast. Upon arrival I was greeted by the cashier who took my payment. Next, I was handed my cup of chocolate strawberry goodness and a fork. It was really beautiful getting to see the all the strawberries and made for a great photo op. One thing is that the chocolate does harden very fast especially in the cold, so you must eat quick if you want the feeling of chocolate oozing in your mouth. Can't wait to come back once I burn off the calories! read more

Interesting ready made juice bar. There were many on display (orange, mango, green energy, watermelon, etc.). I tried the watermelon juice and it was surprisingly fresh, sweet, and delicious. It was kind of disorganized as to which line to order and to pay. It turned out, there was no actual lines. You just go and grab whatever and pay one of the available workers. A great stall at the Borough if you want a quick and refreshing drink. read more

Leaving a review for the restaurant - although the market side of it is super cool as well. My partner & I had the best meal we have ever eaten in our lives. The service was beyond impeccable. All the servers were funny, friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and seemed to really care about us & what they were serving. The food was epic. Every course was insanely flavorful and unique and it just blew us away. It is hard to put it into words because we just felt starstruck the entire time. We have never felt so happy to be somewhere. The food, the service, the ambiance. Everything was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for more. It is pricey, but every penny was absolutely worth it. Would 110% recommend this place & would love to return. read more

I was in London for a vacation and now thinking back to the mushroom risotto that I had at Borough Market is making me drool. Upon a friend's recommendation, I tried the mushroom risotto and I must say, it was one of the best food that I had in London. If you're a fan of mushrooms and good food an general, this is a stall that you must try. It's such a simple dish, but the flavour of mushrooms have really soaked in and the hotness and freshness of the food really helps on a cold day. read more

Turnips is one of the few actual produce stands at the Borough Market- large selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, and juices. Props for having samples available, like a mix of sliced tomatoes on a platter. The watermelon juice was refreshing but probably should have been kept on ice. Gooseberries have been hard for me to find in the US, so I was willing to pay more when I saw them here- they were tart, juicy, and just like my friends remembered from growing up in western Europe. Other reviews mention sandwiches and soups, didn't see those available on my visit. read more

I noticed the utensils were not cleaned properly and had flecks of grease and old food on them. Also the pizza was totally raw in the middle.
