Danieli On The Green

If you are looking for the ultimate hot chocolate experience in London, you need to find Gelateria Danieli. Tucked away down a little "hidden" alleyway (Brewer’s Lane), this place feels like a secret discovery away from the busy main streets. This isn't your average watery cocoa—it is proper Italian hot chocolate. As you can see from the spoon standing straight up in the cup, the texture is incredibly thick, rich, and velvety. It’s almost like drinking melted chocolate or a warm chocolate pudding. The taste is absolutely amazing: deep, not too sweet, and intensely chocolatey. Best of all is the price. In a city where luxury hot chocolates can easily cost £6-£8, getting this level of quality for just £4.50 is a steal. It’s honestly one of the most amazing hot chocolates I’ve had in London at a very affordable rate. Whether you grab a cup to warm up on a rainy day or pair it with their famous gelato, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

This is one of my regular stop when visiting pretty Richmond. Classic old school 2 shop one near the other must visit for chocolate &gelato lovers. They serve hot chocolate and coffee as well and keep it all in high standard and delicious 😋

Extremely popular chocolatier and ice cream parlour overlooking Richmond Green. Positioned alongside a charming alley and with a few tables out front this is a wonderful spot. I only wish that looking so premium they sold gelato instead of the slightly inferior ice cream (gelato has a far richer flavour and dense texture - it’s just more indulgent). If you found my review or photos helpful please leave a quick like 🩶 Thank you🍦

Perfect to have on a hot summer day. Pistacchio was delicious but dark chocolate gelato was too sweet for my liking. Two flavours in a cone was £5.50. As well as gelato, there was a large selection of chocolate to choose from.

One of the best hot chocolates ever. Almost rich and dark and thick. Excellent ice cream too. Very very much recommend it

Came here for the hot chocolate we saw online. It did not disappoint. Extremely thick and rich, almost too hard to swallow! Would definitely recommend trying.

I love Danieli on the green. I use to come here regularly for some chocolates. Always nicely welcome and always so happy with the chocolates I’m buying for a reasonable price. Definitely recommend this fantastic shop!

I came here on a friend's recommendation and I'm very pleased. I said that I didn't know what to choose, and the lady serving was so wonderful and helpful. She asked me lots of questions about the types of chocolates that I liked, and chose 6 based on my answers. The chocolates were packaged beautifully and not too expensive (for luxury chocolates). This is a brilliant place to get a little gift for someone (or yourself!)
