    Absolutely love this local artisan chocolatier. love the handmade individual chocolates which are a special treat but have to also mention the seasonal produce which are brilliant - the Easter eggs in particular.

  • Kate

    I have had several chocolates from here and would highly recommend them either for a special gift or a treat for yourself. Some of the individual chocolates are absolutely amazing and the Easter eggs are so chunky and delicious. I bought my brother and his wife an Easter egg last year and he said it was the best chocolate egg he's ever had.

    Apart from the fact that the chocolates in this gorgeous shop look truly amazing, like a piece of artwork, the flavours were perfect, an absolute delight, definitely returning
