We ordered a dark chocolate hot chocolate, a dark chocolate hot chocolate espresso, and a white chocolate cookie. Now say that three times fast. Everything was wonderfully chocolate-y, though my friend mentioned she probably would have preferred the milk chocolate hot chocolate. All in all, a solid spot for a quick break during the day.

I was freaked out on a recent trip home to see my favourite chocolate shop closed up and the interior gutted. It wasn't dead though, just waiting to be resurrected. They've expanded into the unit next door, and now it's a far nicer place to sit and sip your hot chocolate or pick up some sugar-filled nibbles. The main change is an increase in seating, and the splitting of the store in chocolate and coffee sections.Hopefully this will mean service will get quicker, especially when the Christmas rush kicks in and those chocolates start jumping off the shelves. As for a recommendation, if you can handle the sugar, get a milk and white. If you want something a bit different, the dark praline is a real treat.

They had a great selection of ice cream though, I struggled to decide between Bubblegum or Oreo flavours but went for the Bubblegum in the end which was very tasty! They also had a great range of cones from the traditional 99 cone to waffle or chocolate cones. The one things I was surprised with was they didn't have any whipped ice cream machine for 99's, but there is still plenty of other ice cream to choose from :) I will be back Visited March 2015

I had 3 types of macaroons, chocolate, hazel and black current and the three were so delicious and i liked their mixture of ice cream inside the macaroon which made it even better. My friend tried salted caramel choclate and she liked it. I would defenetly suggest the place for those who adores macaroons.

The color schemes here are fun and they seem to always be busy which is a good thing. I got the Nutella donut and it was just as good as it looks, so if you're in the mood for something very sweet and have some time in town you should stop by. Many different types of flavors and all of them are beautiful!

I opted for the regular size of their "tropical" vegan flavor which was a mix of pineapple & coconut. I also got three toppings: Nutella (YES), shaved coconut & chopped hazelnuts.
