WOW! This place is chocolate heaven! They specialise in Hot Chocolates so here is a quick list of their range:

BELGIAN STYLE:
• Genuine Dark Belgian
• Milk
• Chilli (Hotness scale ranges from 1-10)
• Cinnamon
• Jaffa
• Mocha
• Affogato
• White
(All available in Milk or Dark)

SWISS STYLE:
• Dark – 65%
• Dark – 74%

HOT SHOTS:
• Thick to drink
• Thick to eat

First of all lets start with the store itself, not only is it hidden and quite hard to find but also everything (and I mean everything) in store is either a Chocolate brown colour or white. The moment you walk in you feel like you are in chocolate land and the aroma is beautiful. When you finally decide what you’ll have off their huge menu you’ll see them pour spoon fulls of pure molten chocolate into your glass in full view. Once it is served to you in a tall high glass with a handle you’ll find it looks fantastically appetising. The froth is rich in chocolaty sweetness, and for once I’ve found a place that uses real choc shreds! The molten chocolate that you saw them put in is still sitting at the bottom and sides of the glass. The mixture itself is wonderful; very thick and very dark. The thing that makes it number 1 for me is the fact that it can be super dark yet without bitterness, something Koko Black couldn’t do. It tastes like unaltered smooth molten choc and that taste stays in your mouth and throat so even when you’ve arrive home you’re still enjoying it. The flavour and thickness both stay consistent. There is a slight sediment shot at the end though.

Summary: Their entire range is just dynamite. Every sip leaves you wanting more. This place ticks all of my boxes, a fantastic menu, a funky store, a great taste and brilliant presentation. The price is definitely worth it and because of all those things this place is number 1.
