The chocolates are lovely but the shop is a bit cold. I’ve been there for events and it was great and buzzy and lovely but when I have gone in on my own it is a bit less warm.

This could be because there are a number of people who simply come in, eac the sample chocolates which are out and leave. Perhaps after days and days of that, it becomes difficult to know if you are there for free chocolate or to buy.

Also one of the staff confided in me that they didn’t like chocolate. It makes it slightly difficult to be passionate about what you do if you don’t like what you’re selling :-)

While I have yet to try the dessert bar, William is a multi-award winning chocolatier. His chocolates have won multiple awards and he is a really great guy to boot. The shop has a fantastic atmosphere with passionate staff who really know their stuff.

No matter when you come, the staff will make you feel welcome, serve you extremely well and treat you like you are the only person in the shop. Really fantastic atmosphere, chocolates and experience.

Technically competant brownies and sweet chocolates I’ve reviewed both and these reviews are publically available. I think most telling is that whereas I have driven to Henley, journeyed to Dalston, travelled to Toronto, and hiked to San Francisco’s Pier district as well as visiting other chocolate shops all over the world, I have not made a trip to Croydon to buy any of the other chocolates I haven’t tried.

That should tell you all you need to know.

This shop is slightly difficult to spot but as it is along a very busy road it is always busy inside. With only around 4 or 5 ostools against a low bar in the back of the shop, this is more of a palace to take away from, rather than sit and relax in. There are patisserie desserts and a lot of chocolates all made to their own recipes and Valrhona chocolate is a primary feature of the flavour profile.

Well worth a visit but expect it to be rammed.

Frankly I am not impressed with the chocolate quality. There are amusing fillings, but the essence of a chocolate is the intensity of the chocolate flavour and the texture of the chocolate itself.

I am not a fan..

As always you come up trumps. Your sea salt wafers are delightful. I have to be strict with myself not to eat them all at once. I am doing a top ten list of my favourite treats to be found in London and your company will be there along with Flor Unikon Flowers, L’Epecerie for french delicacies, Russian Tea House and the Ritz Hotel for tea.

Hi, I’ve been to this shop on two occasions now and the ladies working here are ace! They are so helpful and nothing is too much and no question is left unanswered. Very knowledgeable.
