Rococo Chocolates

When I need a little something for someone — whether it’s to say «Thank You» or to apologise — I come to Rococo Chocolates. I especially like their various «fun» chocolate designs and they quirky packaging.
A chocolatey gift from here will make even the fiercest heart melt…

My friend and I got lost while we were visiting London from NYC, and happened upon this amazing chocolate shop. I can’t imagine anyone having anything other than praise for this place. I recognized immediately that it wasn’t exactly cheap, but you also can tell right away that it will all be worth every penny. And it was.
The woman behind the counter, who I assume was probably the owner, was extremely helpful and patient. She gave extra details on all of the chocolates that I asked about.
I ended up getting one of each of the following ganaches: marc de champagne, passionfruit jelly in milk chocolate, a hand-​painted heart with a bee, an earl grey, and I’m afraid I can’t remember the last two. But every single one was divine, and it was all packaged in a perfect little box. Happy birthday to me!
What a shame we don’t have one of these in the states.

Rococo, I adore you.
You have made excellent gifts for parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends. Above all else, you make me very happy every time I walk by your Kings Road shop. Considering I used to live right off Kings Road, I frequented you often.
The little chocolate truffle eggs (I think they are called Seagull eggs, and there is another with caramel called something different) are to. die. for.
Salted caramel raviolis? Ti Amo.

It is quite simply the best chocolate shop in the world. Especially recommend the Provencal chocolate olives.

I love chocolate. And I love chocolate shops. And I particularly love visiting chocolate shops where I get to taste chocolate before I buy, and when I have a voucher to get the chocolate at an affordable price. Because if I have one problem with Rococo, it’s the cost. Still, good chocolate costs money and it’s one area that I’m willing to splash out on.
I visited a little before Christmas, and picked up three bars of chocolate — Arabic Spices, Raspberry and Ginger. All three were amazing, full of flavour but still tasting like good chocolate, not over sweet and very more-​ish. The extremely helpful, very friendly man behind the counter let me try a few nibbles so I could decide which bars to choose — which was a godsend, given how many exciting flavours there were.
Although I only bought bars, I was sorely tempted by the other goodies in the shop, from yummy sounding truffle to beautiful chocolate art — my favourite was an impressive looking lobster!
Will I go back? Almost certainley — I can’t resist a good chocolate shop, and this is definitely one of those!

Ah Rococo how you tempt me. Just walking into your tiny artisan chocolate boutique on Kings Road is a treat in itself. Opening the door to the shop is like opening a pretty Victorian hat box full of sweets! Even the ‘plain’ chocolate bars, with their floral printed wrappers give off the feel of something a bit more special from another era when everything was done with detail. The solid chocolates run a gamete of flavors from the classic milk chocolate to a red chili pepper. The cream filled chocolates ooze raspberry, orange… or perhaps a chocolate fondant to even a silky milky white chocolate enveloping caramel. And for something extra special, their mocha coffee beans are some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Slippery ‘beans’ with just a little crunch when you bite. You’ll eat the whole bag of them I promise you!

Rococo Chocolates has some of the best chocolates and the loveliest shop too. Even their sugar free/​diabetic chocolate is really good. And if I want to treat myself to a present, I buy a bag of their scorched almonds — well they’re nuts, so that makes them healthy surely?! This shop is everything I could ask for from a chocolate shop, and just so much nicer than those awful high street chains.

I must first confess that I haven’t personally been to this actual shop.
But…I did receive a very nice gift of chocolates from here, so I felt
inspired to put in my two cents. Yummmmm! I recommend the sea salt and cinnamon milk chocolate and the orange rose geranium dark chocolate. You might also wish to splurge on the Venchi triple layered gianduja praline. No added sugar (doesn’t that sound like it’s good for you?) and the best I’ve had in a long time (I think I was suffering without it).

Beautiful chocolate shop with delicious flavors like cardamom and milk chocolate, cinnamon, basil & Persian lime, lavender and of course cru chocolates from various sources. You’ll want to pick up lots of things, but they do add up!

Wow. I was looking for some unusual chocolates for stocking fillers, and stumbled across this store. 20 minutes later and I’m leaving with 8 different items, and all beautifully packaged. The best part is, most of them were between £4 and £8.
I bought a couple of bars of artisan Arabic spices chocolate, some hand painted chocolate hearts, a box of Violetti di Parma and their own brand Jelly babies. I also had my eye on the pistachio nougat and the pralines shaped as mushrooms, walnuts or potatoes amongst other things. Forget Thorntons, this is much more fun and cheaper too.

I agree with everyone in about Rococo! To all chocolate laovers out there! This is the place! Try the sea salt and chocolate bar one of my favourite! The combination of salty and sweet!!! hmmm yummy yummy!

A wonderful treasure of a shop in the heart of Kings Road. The pleasure factor starts as soon as you walk-​in here: visual and scented delights are all around in the compact space.
Owner, Chantal Coady, should probably take much of the credit for the real chocolate revolution in London. Since she showed us the truth about chocolate there has been no turning-​back for many. Our palates have moved-​on and grown-​up (with the exception of some faithful CDM and Galaxy addicts).
This tiny piece of chocolate heaven has a tempting selection, enticingly displayed, from bags of ‘grapes’ and other creative gift offerings to the fabulous in-​house range of beautiful blue-​and-​white packaged artisan bars — infused with flavours that you may not even have dreamt of. The spice and floral dark, high cocoa-​solid variants work really well and although they make for a pricey bar (£3.75 for 70g) the quality is wonderful — a small piece has a high satisfaction quotient; a little goes a long way and needs to be savoured slowly.
Probably not ideal to cross the premises when you’re on a food (or financial) diet; it’s a must visit when you’re in the area and deserve a sweet treat (for yourself or as a gift).

I convert everyone to my love affair with Rococo chocolates, giving them as gifts. I was so pleased when a new boutique opened near to me that stocks them as I can much easier get my supply of Champagne truffles and assortments oh and the Jello love babes beat the cheaper well known brand by far.
When in London though, a visit to Rococo is a must, the place looks and smells like heaven. Their nougat lovely and fresh and the decorated chocolate animals make beautiful gifts.

If you are into your chocolate then Roccoco chocolates on King’s road will be right up your street. They sell their chocolates in all of the top shops like liberty and Selfridges. Their own shop is actually really tiny and old fashioned and has so many different chocolates to choose from. They are not cheap but you can buy as many or as few as you wish as they sell them loose at the counter. Their dark chocolate is really the best if you are into that sort of thing. Although I did buy a bar once that was 99% cocoa and that was like eating chocolate mixed with chalk, I guess it’s an acquired taste. But their scorched almonds are great as are their unusually flavoured artisan bars geranium and orange flavour, chilli flavour they make great little presents.
