Delicious unique chocolate. A bit pricey but a wonderful experience. Staff is friendly and loves to share about what they do & the ingredients that go into their products. You will love their hot chocolate!

we were driving through manchester and decided to do a quick stop for ice cream. I chose this place based on tripadvisor reviews and so glad I did- this place is awesome! literally the best chocolate we've ever had!! we got ice cream (raspberry and chocolate chips) and a frappe - both were out of this world. also got a chocolate bar which we have not tried yet but I am sure it will be so good! the owner came out to chat with us - we've learnt so much about chocolate from him! the place is not cheap but I think it's definitely worth the price tag - so do yourself a favor and get some yummy treats!

Excellent chocolate. But I'm not sure my palate is sufficiently developed to appreciate it fully.

Excellent service by a young gentleman. He was very knowledgeable about all the chocolate they had to offer. We had some delicious chocolate coffee and chocolate bars to go. Definitely will be stopping back the next time I’m in the area!

Awesome Mayan drinking chocolate. Meet the owner Richard he's very passionate and warm kind person. The whole team is lovely!

The hot chocolate is just heavenly. And don't get me started with the mallorcas.....those transported me to my native Puerto Rico with its aroma and flavor.Not surprised at the quality of their products after chatting with Richard....his knowledge, enthusiasm and love for the cacao industry is just second to none.

Absolutely blown away with how good this is. We said we were from Puerto Rico, and lo and behold we and Richard had a mutual connection to a cacao farmer in Puerto Rico. He was clearly knowledgeable about the chocolate and was extremely friendly!We had some mallorca sandwiches (which are ham and cheese sandwiches on sweet bread), a traditionally Puerto Rican dish, and they were absolutely authentic. Straight from grandma's kitchen! I had the sweet hot chocolate and the flavor was rich. I compared it to listening to your favorite song with high quality headphones for the first time. There was so much depth of flavor!We walked out with a couple of chocolate bars. Fair warning - they are expensive compared to a typical chocolate bar, but that is because regular chocolate bars pale in comparison to these. They are absolute works of art! Richard was also happy to tell us how they tasted and gave us recommendations. It was very clear that each one was meticulously crafted for both flavor and looks.10/10, highly recommend coming here if you are a fan of chocolate!

The drinking chocolate is excellent and the chocolate they make here is just as much artwork as it is edible candy. The adjectives used to describe the chocolate can be a bit obtuse, but it’s designer, gourmet chocolate so if they want to call a piece of chocolate “spectacular,” “mysterious,” or “ambitious,” it seems fitting. I never ate a piece of chocolate more slowly as I tried to taste the notes of flavor in the chocolate. The blue chocolate bar we ate looked like a computer motherboard but tasted fantastic.

I participated in a secret santa gift exchange and received chocolate from here. As someone who enjoys making and trying fancy chocolate, this blew me away. Each peice was a work of art.The product was amazing and when I realized that it came from Richard's shop, I was elated! He is the chocolateir who inspired me to start making chocolate.If you are looking to impress someone or don't know what to give as a gift, you can't go wrong with this chocolate.
