Very small shop, but products are displayed nicely. Can get busy and be difficult to get around, but generally is quiet. Staff are friendly and they sometimes have good offers on items. Can be expensive but they have nice gift ideas. read more

The meal was superb. The food was not greasy and there appeared to be no use of food colourings. The cafe is spotless and the chef and waiter were friendly and helpful. There is ok parking outside on the road and the prices are really value for money. We went there at lunchtime and had to wait no more than 15 minutes or so for a beautiful freshly cooked madras curry with pilau rice, chips, fresh salad and chapatis. Our free water to drink was cooled in the fridge and served in a very attractive and spotlessly clean sealed bottle type container with a spring top.like grolsch Do try the cafe out.

Charbonnel et Walker is a charming little shop covered in pretty little boxes of different truffles in a variety of colours. From drinking chocolate, to after dinner treats and Laurent Perrier champagne, it prides itself in fine chocolates and gifts. I can guarantee that anybody would be thrilled to recieve a box of delicious truffles from here. The best sellers are usually the Pink Marc de Champagne truffles (try them and you'll see why!) They have a sale on right now in the Victoria Quarter so it's definitely worth a wander to pick up some lovely stocking fillers.

Their handmade chocolates are certainly to die for. The range goes from oranges dipped in dark chocolate, to lime and chilli, to parma violets, to cherry liquors, truffles and everything in between. They also sell vegan chocolates, so if you are vegan or have a dairy intolerance/allergy you can still indulge yourself. What can I say? I am a chocoholic and you can taste the quality. A great shop for gifts for someone special or just yourself.

Ah well, at least they still do the dark chocolate mint thins, which are pretty heavenly. And I won't say no to a cherry dipped in chocolate from Bon Bon's either. Go on, try me, see if I'll turn it down The great thing about Bon Bon's is, it's located right next door to a juice bar. So you can stock up on pounds of calorific naughty goodies, and then head next door for a wheat grass smoothie - which of course will magically undo any damage done! Genius, eh?

It is run by a…read moregrouchy woman, who seems to have an amazing knack of making you feel like a tremendous inconveinence everytime you go in. But somehow she seems warm underneath the cool exterior. I think she spends her days waiting for under 16 year olds to go in and ask for cigarettes, just so she can say no to them :) The shop used to be a mobile wooden cart, judging by the wheels just visible in the pavement at it's base. How it came to find it's permanent resting place there, I can't tell you I'd love to know though. They sell every type of sweet you could want, in big jars As you walk in every wall is stacked high floor to ceiling with jars full of sugary wonderment. They will sell you canned drinks, a small selection of icecreams and cigarettes too, if they like the cut of your jib that is! In the summer you can swoop by here to pick up an icecream on your way up to the moor, which is a nice thing to do.
Wouldn't it be just grand if Hotel Chocolat was indeed a Chocolate Hotel. That would be…read morescrumptious! Sadly for me and the other chocolate freaks out there it isn't, but what it is, well, it's a luxury chocolate establishment that not only tantalises your tastebuds, but gives your eyes and nose a sensory treat too. With Valentine's Day approaching, Hotel Chocolat provides a welcome shake up to all the run of the mill chocolate gifts unadventurous other halves will be scrambling for on Saturday afternoon when mad panic ensues. There's plenty to impress with, the large hearts are works of art just for the eyes. The pink and fruity one is super girly, and will go down a treat with girlfriends for all those hapless boyfs out there. Even it's just to appreciate the craftsmanship that's gone into those square feet of chocolate wonders. The fruit and nut version of this large heart looks like a piece of sculpture. It is magnificent, at £28 it's worth it just this once. The store is nicely open plan, so it's perfect to spot your target and have a general nosey at what else is in the offing. From the small trinket treats to the large hampers, there's a splash of decadence for everyone's budget. The sheer effort gone into the show pieces is extraordinary, and worth paying, to make someone smile. I'm already bracing myself for the Easter Eggs, as they are natural, colourful, and make a good solid Easter gift for a kidlet or special half. Aside from gifts and trinkets there's a good selection of chocolate boxes, cooking chocolate, bagged chocolate treats, Smudge (I shalln't explain as it's worth going in, buying, tasting and finding out for yourself), drinking chocolate, chocolate slabs, and probably many other chocolate things I've failed to mention. There's also a nice and adventurous combination of flavours here, different to the normal chocolate box selections, and that's part of what makes the price so acceptable.

The bread was too tough and stodgy for my tastes (I like a soft brioche) and the meat was a little over done for me. I realise the gimmick for the menu would of course be the cocoa nibs, but their being involved in almost everything was also a little much. I guess I was hoping for things like chili with chocolate sauce? I don't know! That being said, service was grand and the amuse bouche was a treat! Regardless, I love love love love love their hot chocolates. You really won't find better in Leeds. Salted caramel is my current winner, but the chili comes a close second! And the service in the cosy bar downstairs is just so fabulous. You should also give the sweet potato shavings a try -- they're a fantastic snack. I didn't love the restaurant, but everything else about this place is lovely. I'll always be a fan of their chocolate!

I'm a massive tea and coffee fan, so it follows that I would enjoy looking at what they have in store! They have a number of different coffees, both strengths and flavours, instant and filter varieties. They have a number of different teas too, from green, white, herbal, fruit, black, leaf, instant and bagged! Phew. Lots and lots of tea. You can buy variety packs of both tea and coffee, which make great gifts for tea and coffee lovers like myself! The only bad bit is that the majority of their products don't have the fair trade marker, which is a must for me. They also do other items such as china sets, cafetieres and so on. I bought an incredibly reasonable £15 cafetiere as a Christmas gift, together with a lovely glass mug for £4 and some coffee for £2.50! My friend was given a tea pot and cup and saucer from Whittards too, and she absolutely adores it. The shop was very tidy and the staff were efficient so everything was alright by me. Pleasant shop and their products are lovely.

It's a lot of fun! They have sweet and savory items, though as the shop name might indicate, they focus on sweets. It was suggested to me to get cake, which I did. Chocolate and banana. They had a red and blue cake (raspberry and blueberry), as well as a chocolate fruit and nut cake and a gluten free chocolate cake. These apparently change daily and on busy days, I'm told as often as four times per day. No promises the favor you wish will be available. As for the chocolate and banana cake, I was a little disappointed they use artificial banana. Fresh banana in cake makes it moister and has a natural banana flavor, which I'd have much preferred. The chocolate part of the cake was good and moist. The filtered coffee was good and strong. I think they had a multitude of other sweets near the register, too!

They have a small section of imported sweets which seem to be a bit of a craze at the moment but the majority is focused on the olden day sweets, such as fudge, nougat, sweeties, sherbet, liquorice, chocolates and so much more. The price of the Yorkshire sweets is not horrifying, I put together a birthday hamper for £15 with a nice variety of sweets. Worth a visit even if you don't want anything you will end up buying one item!
