Top quality chocolate chain. My personal favourites are the rum truffles. Also great for handwritten names on easter eggs too.

Exquisite!!! I'm hooked…read more What can I say, this place is addictive! Located at 40 Great Western Arcade, they offer the most pleasurable and desirable chocolates, that I have tried. You get a very personal service in here, and they are a nice independent retailer. Although a little pricey, the occasional treat is worth it, and you get what you pay for. The have a good variety on display and even have gift presents for your loved ones for you to buy. The shelves aren't too over stocked, but they do have a large variety of sweets, chocolates and candy for you to choose from. Try the fruit centre's - they wont disappoint. I will visit again and this place has my seal of approval.

Pierre and his wife run the store and they really are so friendly and offer a completely tailored service. Pierre obviously cares about his customers and will give you a guided tour of all the wonderful and artfully created chocolates on display, even letting you sample a few on the house. This is no Thorntons! Each piece is a work of art, from dark chocolate dipped cherries and orange peel to Champagne truffles; everything is beautifully made and packaged making a gift from Chouchoute a real treat. I always come here to buy presents for family and have a chat with Pierre. Everyone should sample some chocolates from this shop - you'll never settle for Roses again, that's for sure! I couldn't recommend Chouchoute highly enough. One of Birmingham's true gems.

I have lived in Oxford for about 6 months now, and have loved the great range of pubs, coffee…read morehouses, and restaurants. However, I have a longstanding preference for not repeating myself, either in terms of venues or or meals. Coco Noir has forced me to violate that personal rule. I've been there more times than I've been anywhere else in Oxford, many times over, and I don't feel guilty at all. Worse still, I almost always get the langostinos, which are near-divine Sicilian pastry, filled with a range of creamy goodness. The proprietor is so warm and friendly, and recognises us every time. The coffee is great, and priced affordably. The Belgian chocolates are just beautiful, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting--bringing in a range of people. Today, there was a pensioner couple, a single lady, a couple of boisterously polite tweens with their mums, and four young attractive Italian ladies. Bottom line: go whenever you can, tip well, and savour EACH flavour of the glorious langostinos!

Funnily enough the chocolate quarter is located in the jewellery quarter. It's got a fantastic…read morestore front, boasting both modern and classic design. This is a independently owned all in house made chocolateria. This is evident when you walk in and see trays of freshly made chocolates. One of the nicest things about this store is the friendly personable staff. My visit felt like a personal shop. I was offered samples and talked through all the options available for me when buying a box. One of my favourite things I bought from here was the hot chocolate sticks which was 2 for £3.50. The idea is you mix these chocolate blocks on a stick into hot milk and makes you a hot chocolate! Surprisingly good! The quality of the chocolate is fantastic! Brands like Lindt have a certain taste to them, and this place certainly has its own taste too. Their unique array of flavours are executed well without tasting cheap or inauthentic. I plan to visit this place again very soon! If your into quality chocolate and live in Birmingham I highly recommend a visit! They are closed on both Sunday's and Wednesday though!
This is a very pleasant and fairly recent addition to the ever-growing Jewellery Quarter…read moreindependent shop scene. The outside is super-clean and the inside follows suit. It's all very tasteful and I suppose reflective of the prices. I chatted with the very nice owner and asked about the chocolates. It's worth noting that many items on sale are not made in the shop but rather bought in and branded as Chocolate Quarter. This doesn't at all mean they won't be nice or that the quality will be inferior. That doesn't follow at all. But it's not quite the 100% artisan shop that you might initially assume. The chocolates at the counter are made in the shop. I bought the minimum 4, selected because they were interesting flavour combinations, but I had to have them in a card presentation box and pay £6 for the priveledge. Flavour wise they were all very nice but I wasn't blown away considering they were £1.50 each! And they're pretty small, similar in size to the kind of chocolates you'd get in an everyday 'branded' selection box. So there are very many things to like about this shop and I love that they make some of their own products, but I was left a tad disappointed by the experience. I can't award 5***** because the prices are just too much in my opinion. You may well think differently and I'd encourage you to pop by. A choc filled box would certainly make a lovely gift.

You can also get pretty much anything it seems, from sugar mice to chocolate coveted nougat and what we used to call penny sweets, before they went up in price. You know- foam shrimps, 'blackberries', cherry lips and the like. I braved the cherry sours, which were VERY sour, and I'm not usually squeamish about that. I mean, I finished them, but they were much sourer than anything I've had for a long time. It's very difficult not to gather up all the jars and have a bit of everything.

They are a pure vegetarian eatery, specialising in Gujarati sweets and snacks. Their mogo and dokhla is utterly divine! The softness of the texture and impeccable taste makes Sooraj's the best place for these particular dishes. I can almost taste them as I write! They also have a rare stock of Indian drinks, that aren't commonly available in supermarkets. So what better way to wash down a hearty snack than with a mango, passion fruit or guava-flavoured drink! And if the sun is out, I need little persuasion to grab a kulfi ice-cream on the go. Pistachio flavour in particular is my weakness! The sweet centre is homely, clean and very reasonably priced. A definite recommendation for Gujarati snacks!

On the occasion I am in Sparkhill, I always try to come here to buy some sickly cake style sweets. Barfi is an unfortunate name because it sounds like barf, which means to vomit. The barfi they serve here is delicious and super sweet, it tastes nothing like barf. Barfi is more like a sugar cake with a doughy edge to it. It is usually sold in rectangular blocks from a large tray of barfi. Gulab Jaman is also a very sweet dessert that I often buy from here. To make it they deep fry dough in oil so a crisp orange biscuit emerges. This is then covered in treacle and served in a bowl. The Gulab Jaman here is also very good. If you like sweets, and have never tried Indian sweets then I would recommend this shop for your purchases. They sell some of the best in Brum.

Overall, I thought this was a lovely independent shop with an enthusiastic service. You'll visit this one again and again.

Hotel Chocolat isn't cheap, but the quality and variety of chocolates on offer is pretty impressive.

One of my favourite Hotel Chocolate product ranges is their drinking chocolate. This comes in a variety of flavours (milk chocolate and caramel drops, for example), and the melting chocolate drops makes for a very tasty drink. I usually end up eating most of it. If you're stuck for an indulgent birthday, valentine's, Easter or Christmas present then Hotel Chocolat is a good shout. You can take your pick of a range of gift packs, which include a range of choccie goodies.

The man serving explained that they have a place in London which is quite prestigious and the sweets are brought up from there. The smell when you go in is really inviting and the barfi on display looks like really good quality stuff. I think they're used to people going in knowing exactly what they want so they didn't look too comfortable with a browser like me. Other than the kulfi lollies in the freezer (wow) the freshly made samosas caught my eye. I bought two vegetable samosas for 90p (and they threw in a chilli dip). They ended up being meat samosas when I eventually tucked into them so luckily I wasn't allergic or a vegetarian. Nevertheless they were really tasty and the pastry was crispy and delicious.
