TOP 5 CHOC SPOTS: CENTRAL LONDON
Whether you’re visiting London’s plethora of historic landmarks, soaking up some culture in some of the UK finest galleries and museums, doing a spot of shopping in Selfridges or Harrods, or looking for the capitals best spots for food and drink, the likelihood is you’ll need to take the weight off your feet and stop for a chocolate-inspired pit-stop.
We set out stomping the pavements, sipping from coffee shop to bakery to chocolate cafe to find the best hot chocolate spots in Central London to sample Islands Chocolate. Keep reading below to find our favourites.
GAILS BAKERY - SOHO
We cozied up with their 75% Hot Chocolate. On the darker side of our range, our 75% is rich, velvety, and perfect for fuelling your shopping adventures. If you’re lucky you might also be able to find one of their Chocolate & Hazelnut Buns, using our Chocolate & Hazelnut Spread.
CUP+LID - MARYLEBONE
This is one for the chocolate purists.
We visited Cup+Lid for their 100% Hot Chocolate. A super bold and indulgent treat that’s all about the chocolate.
CARAVAN RESTAURANTS - FITZROVIA
We always love taking a break in one of Caravan Restaurant’s locations, particularly Fitzrovia. We stopped off for a dreamy 45% Hot Chocolate that’s smooth, creamy, and oh-so-comforting.
Looking for more of a caffeine pick-me-up? Why not try a mocha with our 45% Powder too! You won’t be disappointed…
CROSSTOWN Doughnuts - FITZROVIA
Sometimes you just need a little something sweet to top off your hot chocolate. That’s why we had to pay a visit to our friends at Crosstown Doughnuts.
We got one of their 55% Milk Hot Chocolate, a perfect balance of sweetness and decadence, and particularly good paired with their vegan Peanut Butter Caramel & Banana Doughnut.
Lever & Bloom Coffee - FITZROVIA
Ok, so this isn’t a hot chocolate, but it’s simply a must-have. Lever & Bloom’s Babka Bun with Chocolate & Hazelnut Spread is the stuff of sweet dreams.
