I don't care if Paul is a chain, I love it…read more Their coffee frappe is extremely creamy and rich, and much better than a frappucino from Starbucks across the street. My favorite is the macarons though. They have the huge kind, the size of a bloated cookie, and though it's not cheap at more than 2 pounds each, it's delicious and worth it. Everything in their window makes me drool, especially their Frasier cake. It took every ounce of self control to not buy an entire cake for myself. I later bought one of Paul's canvas bags at the Covent Garden location as a souvenir, durable and only a little less than 4 pounds!

On top that they offer quiches, sandwiches, croissants, fancy pastries. A french man contributed enormously to this successful chain bakery which has been around for decades mission of bringing quality food to the public. Paul's mission is to bring the best food to your palate. I ordered a simple tuna sandwich. I was amazed by the freshness of the bread and the tuna. It was a blissful experience. The service is exemplary. The counter attendants were always taking care of theirs customers. Queuing is not a problem as staring at the food keeps your mind wondering. No matter how many negative comments you may find, Paul delivers the goods. Long live Paul!! Keep proliferating!!

Having lived in San Francisco for a long time and seeing the ice-cream revolution taking of there, I would say that for me Ruby Violet is the Bi-Rite Ice Cream of London (the latter being the place where I lost my salted-caramel virginity). It's hip and trendy, but the folks in here are very down-to-earth at the same time. When I last was here, I saw all kinds of people flocking here: little kids with their daddy, the young couple on a romantic date, the hipster with the horn-rimmed glasses...and me with my dog! This is the kind of place I would make a detour for...even in the winter. It's really good.

I had there long and frothy hot chocolate. It is brought to you in a cute tea set. Chocolate is thick and sweet and you get a side of milk so you can choose how milky you would like it. Note- it does take some time to prepare. I also treated myself to a ice cream cone. It was yummy! You can taste that they use the best ingredients. Sadly you only get a tiny scoop for the price.

Explained that I needed it to take some medicine, but no they "don't do" tap water. Bonkers. I hate sticklers. Anyway, the place is kind of cool in its interior, it's all purple and comfy booths. There's all kinds of desserts, such as a brookie which is a bagel and a cookie together I think. I tried cookie dough for the first time, it was a bit too sweet, but good taste with the aero flavour.

My friends had the cookies and cream, honeycomb, dulce de leche. Again all amazing in how good they actually taste like the flavor. The honeycomb was so good, had actual bits of honeycomb in it and so creamy . The coffee was strong on flavor and rich. The cookies and cream had bits of cookie and was also really rich and I tried some of the dulce de leche and another great flavor. Everything in the case looked fabulous. The seating inside was clean and well kept. There are some outside benches too. This is a great after dinner spot on a nice warm day in chiswick, my old home many years ago!

The matcha latte I had was delicious and not too sweet. The kimchi monkey bread is so good that my sister demanded I got her one when I was back in London. I picked her one up last week for after a marathon she had run and it went down very well. The tiramisu danish is probably one of the best pastries I've had in London so far. It was flavourful without being too heavy and was a nice size for sharing. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy last month's special croissant (strawberry lemonade). It was far too sweet for me and there was too much flavour going on. I couldn't enjoy the actual croissant taste that I love. I also don't get any phone signal in there and it's a pain trying to pay the bill via the app to get my points when it doesn't load. It took me about 7 mins to pay last time! Customers need to be able to scan the app at the till to save time. Also, be prepared to spend in here. It is not cheap! Having said that, I do feel most things I've tried were delicious apart from the one special croissant that was overbearingly sweet.

They have different kinds of hot chocolate to choose from, which is great, but the best part is you can add chocolate whipped cream on top. 3. This hot chocolate is the best hot chocolate I've tasted. It was so rich and smooth, and the whipped cream was so perfectly light and chocolatey. 4. As for the store, they have so many different chocolate products, like they have a shelf of all of their bon bons. I left with a bag of different bite-sized chocolates to have a little tasting at home. My favorite is the raspberry panna cotta. 5. This spot is perfect for a hot chocolate break and for souvenirs.

A little less than six pounds I was expecting a more premium and refined taste. Nope. Unlike the other chocolatier joint I visited that offered hand-crafted hot coco, this one was straight up from a machine. Tasted like liquid coco powder heated up, key word being 'heated.' And just because it was heated doesn't mean it was hot per se. The beverage was offered nothing more than lukewarm at best . They didn't even fill it up to the brim. It was filled about 80 % .
