This really is an exceptional chocolate shop. A treasure trove of chocolate goodies, from salted caramels to chilli chocolate. It has an air of luxury about it and is a real treat. It's not cheap, but then why would it be? They sell gorgeous artisan chocolates and these come at a price. It's worth going alone for the hot chocolate, I had mine spiced with sichuan peppercorns and it was divine (check out the pic). I say go and indulge, you'll thank me for it!

This is the place to go for all true chocoholics. Sea salted caramels that will send you into ecstasy. Be careful how much money you take in here as you will come out a lot lighter (of money but carrying grams of chocolate). The brownies are also super - even my sister who does not like traditional dark chocolate thought they were amazing. Real dark chocolate is lovely - imitation stuff that you get in bars from the supermarket give dark chocolate a bad name. When you go to Paul's, you will see why dark chocolate is best. Explore and experiment with the different flavours. They truly are original. The only criticism is that there are not more accessible shops and it does not do on-line orders so I have to travel to London - but it is worth it.

This place is unique! - try the hot chocolate. Even people that don't like chocolate appreciate this shop, its almost like a art gallary for chocolate.
I was lucky enough to receive a box or Mr Youngs' exquisite chocolates from my brother in law who is a major foodie. I had no idea what a treat I was in for, and left them in my kitchen in full reach of my four children. Never ever make that mistake..............far too good for children....... I was surprised at first to find the odd grain of salt and some highly unusual flavours (the chocolates coming with no description of contents on a convenient piece of paper) but every one was a taste sensation and I am now addicted. The best chocolates I have ever tasted, worth fighting and driving long distances for.......... Vanessa
