While I've had a number of their truffles and have loved each one... my favourite are their violet creams! Theirs are just perfection... the dark chocolate is just the right thickness and snaps when you bite into it allowing the cream to ooze out, but a very slow, it-isn't-going-to-end-up-on-my-shirt sort of ooze. The violet cream inside is nicely flavoured and it is creamy, not this crumbly, soap-like stuff you get at other places. I usually get a small bag to take with me and ration out for the next couple of weeks and surprisingly they hold up!

I leave a message, they text back to say they are sending another (and another small gift) and it should arrive Monday, today. Royal Mail deliver late morning here, and milk man delivers about an hour earlier. I spent £56 on getting f##### over and I'm so angry. Don't waste your money on these 'premium' chocolates. They can't even get their deliveries correct and I paid for priority delivery. No offer of refunds, plus their chocolates have a three month best before date. Not pleased at all.

The mint thins are a favourite and are a good after dinner treat. It's quite expensive in here, but it's worth it for high quality chocolate. They have a counter service where you can build your own box of chocolates, or they have lots of pre-boxed stuff - both there brand and others. They also sell novelty items such as chocolate mice. Worth a look in if you are in Keswick - I challenge you to resist coming out with something!

A rather different mix - a chocolate shop but also a hand-crafted jewellery shop. Something a…read morelittle bit different! The chocolate shop is all about luxury and ideal if you are looking for a special gift or just want to treat yourself (and quite rightly too). The hand-crafted jewellery is by mum and daughter design combo Kathie and Hattie Grimes. The jewellery has a very unique form and delicate. Types of jewellery iclude bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings. The little showroom/ workshop nestles under the eaves of the Grade 11 listed shop on the first floor. Downstairs is the chocolatier part of the shop with a wide wide range of traditional sweets. My favourite are the chocolate farmyard including a milk chocolate owl, a white chocolate sheep, a white chocolate green frog, a milk hedge hog, two white chocolate pink pigs and two mice, one milk and one white. Soooo sweet! Totally awesome! P.s. if you can't get to the shop you can order online - don't miss it!

It…read morefeatures a store and a small Cafe area, they manage to pack a lot into the space they have, without the store feeling too cramped. It is a premium chocolate brand, so the items are more suited for gifts than your day-to-day chocolate needs. The store inside seemed to match the high-end brand, it was presentable and modern, and the staff seemed average. They even had some of their own brand of alcoholic spirits too which sounded interesting. Sadly they didn't seem to be any sampling going on in-store on my recent visit. Opening Hours are in line with other shops in the town, closing at 17:30 Monday to Saturday, and an hour earlier on Sundays - not great but seems to be a problem throughout Harrogate's town centre. 4*

I can tell you that personally. This place is like a Thorntons, like a Hotel Chocolate, only more indie, more personalised and more beautiful because of that. They serve all the specialised chocolate treats that you might hope for and expect including truffles, bon bon chocolates, chocolate creams of all flavours, chocolates with liqueur filling. Oh. God! It's chocolate heaven. The staff are friendly and they've lots of lovely box sets to choose from! A delightful store that will put a smile on anyone's face, and it'll be a killer choice for Valentine's day!

Before it was just a small shop selling quantity chocolate & ice cream. Now it's a warm inviting establishment with a couple of tables to have tea & coffee then have quality Belgium chocolate. The owner/staff are very welcoming & eager to assist. The layout of the products is very inviting. I'm sure it will be a unique place amongst the many coffee shops in the town. Just purchased chocolates for Xmas gifts this time but will return for coffee another time.
