Fabulous chocolate brilliantly presented & the service is unfailingly charming...& splendidly efficient...Mail order chocolates arrive the next day...the best range of chocolates & bars (the Sorrento orange & ginger & single variety versions stand out but they’re all good) you can get.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments! Oooo yes the orange and ginger - a particular favourite of ours and we're very pleased we provided an efficient service for you. See you soon! Emma and Mark
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Emma on the last 5 occasions whereby I have had chocolates delivered locally - sometimes at very short notice. The orders are always accurate, always delivered on time and nothing has proved to difficult for Emma as I can be quite fussy.
If like us you are a chocoholics, you will love this shop.
Beautifully crafted chocolates are the thing and they make an extensive range of classic fillings with dark, milk and even white chocolate.
Prices are not necessarily cheap, but you are paying for quality and I have no doubt that these chocolates are made with abundance of love from the finest of cocoa beans and processed on the premises.
Highly recommended chocolatiers. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now!
Date of experiences
All of August and September so far
Thank you so much for the wonderful review - it's great to know how much our chocolate is being enjoyed and that our service is so efficient. Emma and Mark
A nice and pleasant visit to this town shop. Emma welcomed us and kindly explained everything about the chocolate and the origins of the shop. Would go again!
Thank you so much and we're glad you enjoyed your visit with us. Emma and Mark
Good Lord - I've never seen an Easter Egg 3 feet tall! I asked the lady what the cost was, and she advised in the region of £1,500 - but it was going to BBC's Children in Need. They also made Easter Eggs for Fortnum and Mason and the House of Lords - so what else do you need to know? :-)
We got 2 boxes of mixed chocolates for the people who looked after our house and the cattery - and they looked (and smelt) scrumptious. Regretfully, I can't eat chocolate, so cannot pass an exact comment on them! :-( Trying very hard not to sulk, here....
We're so pleased you enjoyed your visit to our shop and thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review! Emma and Mark
I booked a chocolate workshop as a present for my mum and sister and it has gone down a treat.
We have all had a amazing time and have come away with loads of knowledge about fine chocolate as well as loooaadds of different chocolates which emma has helped us make today. Ive also treated myself to a bottle of gin which im looking forward to tasting this evening.
Thanks Mark and Emma for being so friendly and making this a special day.
Ps. Previously I have bought a bottle of cocoacello which I would highly recommended... Its absolutely beautiful.
I have just spent a great few hours on a truffle making couse with the very patient and amazingly talented Emma Baravelli. A great teacher, she provided us with an insight into her world and the art of choclate and truffle making. I am inspired and totally in awe. We learnt about tempering chocolate, and how to make different ganaches, which resulted in our happy little group producing an array of delicious home made truffles to take home. We truly had an amazing time and I will never eat one of their beautiful champagne truffles again without savouring the moment and thinking about how much skill, time and effort has gone into each hand crafted chocolate. I am inspired to have a go at making more truffles and ganache sauces at home and can't wait to go back to Baravellis for another go, and also to attend a gin tasing night!
