This place is truly magical. The hot chocolate is exquisite, the best I have had outside France and potentially even Italy. The entire place screams warmth and intimacy, like a little Parisian Cafe down a back street. When we entered we were welcomed warmly by the owner and the powerful smell of chocolate.
We had two salted caramel hot chocolates that were £4.50 and we thought extremely good value for money given that high street brands charge a comparable price for inferior products. Both of us had the same word for our hot chocolates "heaven". The hot chocolate was dark, thick and comforting doesn't seem enough of a word for it. I felt such a warm glow in my tummy after.
They also sell hot chocolate, a very good chocolate cake, cocktails, chocolate powder, cocoa nibs and multiple flavours of artisan chocolate. We took home a chilli and orange Artisan chocolate £5 and a ginger and lime Artisan chocolate also £5. The chocolate was amazing! "
We adored meeting the owners friendly cat who lazed about meowing for food. We also were delighted by the vintage feel of the shop and the information the owner gave us about how different parts of the shop came together and how old parts were like the gorgeous, round 1970s lamps.
It is a fitting setting for a book or film, or a book, film or poem to be written or to watch the world go by while sipping a sensual hot chocolate! We will be back!
