Three years ago, I visited Choccywoccydoodah off Carnaby Street and finally got to try hot chocolate and cake in their chocolate cafe. Of course, I had been to the London shop dozens of times to look in the windows at the chocolate creations on offer, especially during the holidays. They create some stunning chocolate creations, including huge cakes, and actually have their own television programme that started in 2010. Their flagship store is located in Brighton, and it was opened in 1994. I visited it in or around the year 2004 and bought a chocolate-popcorn bar, and I also received some for Christmas. It was a big deal in Brighton, so it was inevitable that it would open a branch in London in 2012. I'm a little late writing this post as I expected to return but have noticed that they recently (as of last summer) closed their shop at Carnaby Street and opened a new one at Seven Dials. The photographs of my visit and experience were located in their previous Carnaby Street location.
With their move, that means I will no doubt be checking them out again, but I really thought that since it is the end of the era, I had better post my photographs. I actually did not realise that they had even moved until I went to check them out whilst looking at the holiday lights and saw that they'd gone. I then had to look them up online to see where they'd moved to.
While on this visit, I had a hot chocolate and a slice of cake. This came with ice cream with some white chocolate drizzled on top.
Their cafe was created upstairs with the shop downstairs filled with the chocolate creations. Below's photograph showcases their Valentine's Day range as I visited the shop in early January a couple of years ago.
Their chocolate is quite nice, but be warned that it is very sweet. I could not eat all of my cake because it was just too sweet, especially paired with the hot chocolate, so part of it went home with me. I am looking forward to checking out their new Seven Dials branch in London. Seven Dials is a favourite area of mine, so I am looking forward to visiting.
