Chocolat Chocolat

The best chocolate I have tasted in my life! Also on a dairy free diet at the moment and their vegan chocolate is unbelievable! So good when often vegan chic is not worth the bother! Highly recommend it and hope they can do a mail order as I have recommended it to so many people who don’t live in Cambridge. Roll on the website please!

I was still living in Cambridge when this little chocolate shop opened, and I remember walking past frequently in the days leading up to its completion and wishing they would hurry up!

And my anticipation was well worth it. The array of chocolates – some big names in the chocolate world (e.g. Dolfin and Suchard) and some not, but all of them very, very tempting. I think I went in several times before finally taking the plunge and buying myself some as a post-exam treat…and they were absolutely delicious.

Since then, I’ve moved away from Cambridge, but on the rare occasions when I do return, I’ve always made a point of visiting this little shop again. Most recently I introduced my boyfriend to it when he took me to Cambridge for a surprise anniversary weekend, and we’re currently eating our way through the little bag of chocolates we purchased at the time. So far, a gorgeous dark chocolate truffel has thrilled me, whilst he enjoyed a lime-fondant treasure (slightly too sweet for me!).

My only complaint? They used to do a pistachio chocolate marzipan bar, which I couldn’t find on my last visit :(. But I suppose I can live without…

An enticing little chocolate shop located near the grand arcade. It is a little pricey but well worth the indulgence. Not only does it sell chocolate, but I bought mulled wine spices as Christmas presents from this shop which wiere divine. There are also samples of chocolate on the counter so you can try before you buy!

This chocolate shop is adorable and smells like heaven. We managed to restrain ourselves and only picked out one small chocolate each (ginger cream and pistachio marzipan), in addition to a tiny cup of intensely chocolatey hot chocolate. There are dozens of varieties to try and you use tiny little tongs and baskets to pick out whatever you'd like. If you're into fancy chocolates, check this place out.
