R Chocolate London

I had afternoon tea here on Sunday, despite having to change my booking on the day last minute. Eric was very helpful and change the booking which I really appreciated. When we arrive he was accommodating and his service was excellent. The place is lovely inside and the cakes were nice. I would definitely recommend this place.

Hey. It's a chocolatier in SW1 with serious choc credibility, at least media wise - the Mayan Hot Chocolate was great on a cold grey day, the cakey Fruit Financiers were good, but needed a Financier to pay for them, and the waiter recommended little crunchie choccy treats were fun in a 'Thank God It's Crunchie' kinda way. I'll have to wait for Easter Sunday to report on the Easter Eggs, but doubtless they will be impressive. They certainly look it. However, the best bit by far was the effortlessly charming chatty service from the lads behind the counter, who made looking at expensive chocolatey craft treats exactly what it should be - fun, and not intimidating. 6* for the service, 4* for the choccies.

Would normally give 4* but saw that places that i would give max 3 (Pattisierie Valerie) had almost the same score as WC who is WAY better. Their cookies is the best i have had eveything they do is nice. My largest issue is small selection that does not change very often. Oh and the only better places i have been to are all abroad France, Japan etc
