    Amazing cocktail place! I was initially skeptical of chocolate cocktails but I have to say that they are very 'chocolate' soft and amazing flavour! You can still taste the chocolate but it's not overwhelming and it complements the cocktail well! An amazing place for all cocktail lovers to try!

    What a small little beautiful bar 🍺🍺 loved it. And the staff were superb nice and so friendly ! Food was okay but the drinks were great. The chocolate flavored cocktails were so so good and so was the chocolate beer. 5 min walk from farrindon tube stn and if u have a London pass, you get a free cocktail too 😀 A must go place 😀

    Had a lovely hour and a half in the chocolate cocktail club for some pre dinner cocktails. My favourites were the Toblerone and chocolate orange cocktails and the chocolate fondue that the table next to us had looked amazing as well. Only a small place but a great little find with a friendly and lively atmosphere. Just make sure you book well in advance!!

    A friend brought me an expensive here and so glad she did. It started with a very warm welcome and got shown to a nice table by the window. Our package included 2 cocktails, 1 of which was pre set and the second you could choose. The were both delicious. We also had a light lunch which was avocado on bruchetta. There wasn't a huge choice of food, but for what we had was nice.

    It's alright but hyped up places never seem to live up to the expectations. First, the seating and space is appalling. The place can only accommodate a queue of 1 group as the rest would have to wait outside for their assigned slots. Since they only have 4 tables and some bar seats, it is now acceptable to seat customers on low wooden benches tucked in at some table attached to a wall in a corner. Didn't feel like I was at a cocktail club, but more like seated somewhere out of the way while waiting for our table. The catch is that that was actually our table lol Cocktails were delicious, they were sweet and flavourful... but where's the booze? I don't regularly drink, but it honestly felt like there was almost no alcohol in them. They're also a little filling so it's more akin to liquidy milkshake than a cocktail. Plus, they don't have any other types of cocktails. You only get to order more of the same. The selection of food is not great which is why we didn't order any. It would be great if they had more to kinda complete the experience. They have Cafe in the name but nothing about this place is a cafe apart from the fact they do a couple hot chocolates. Tl;DR: As my bf puts it: it's a gimmick. I can just as well go to a regular cocktail bar, order chocolate based cocktails there if I feel like one and I can have a better experience than here.

    A very substantial and delicious afternoon tea! The bottomless hot chocolate is also a nice touch (several different flavours to pick from). A nice atmosphere and we didn't feel rushed at all. They also catered very well for my dietary requirements, I had pre warned them but they came out and checked that I liked the alternatives they had suggested. We had hoped to stay for the cocktails after but we were absolutely stuffed and chocolated out so we will 100% be back to try them at some point! A really reasonable price too

    Visited for my birthday in May. Was served by Rachel and Holly who were both very attentive, friendly, happy and great advising which cocktails to try. We had quite a few but wanted more ! The atmosphere is lovely, decor cute but the cocktails are amazing! So much so I am planning on returning for my daughters birthday in July. Definitely worth a visit

    Wow what an amazing place! Had a choclotini....so delicious! Staff went out of their way to make sure we had a good experience. Such a great vibe....if you love chocolate then you definitely need to try this place!Read some other reviews on here....really don't understand some of the negative comments to be honest this place is such a little hidden gem and I love the decor! Get a picture underneath the chocolate sign very good lighting! They offer some snacks but they are a chocolate cocktail bar first and foremost and that's what they do best. There is something on the menu for everyone! I went with my husband and have already bought tickets to go for a girls night! Cannot recommend enough!

    Absolutely divine 😍 highly recommend visiting here. The prices are great (for London), cocktails made perfectly with friendly, and quick, service. I suggest trying all the cocktails... none I didn't like! Be sure to book it, as it's not a big place!

    Three of us went as an 18th birthday treat. Staff are very nice. We booked its a small place, if busy you'd have to wait or come back another time otherwise. Booking includes a choice of three cocktails, The Chocotini, Chocolate espresso martini or the Shamzing strawberry. There's a choice of about 20 other cocktails. Lovely cocktails had to wait a little while to get them. We all had different ones and tried each others. Is a little expensive hence 4/5 starts. We didn't eat here but you can do. It's closed Sunday and Monday. Not wheelchair accessible.

    Great experience and the two loveliest ladies who run it! The biscoff cocktail was out of this world and the Easter cocktails definitely worth a visit for! (Updated in summer and the cocktails are just as good!)

    We came early on a Friday and felt like real VIPs! Honestly some of the best cocktails and at amazing value for money. We tried Clockwork Orange, Jaffa Cake, Raspberry Ripple and Biscoff, all were amazing but our favourites were Biscoff and the Ripple. Staff were super friendly and helpful, the nachos were great and we saw a few groups having afternoon tea which also looked really good. Couldn't recommend enough!

    Amazing 👏 What's not to like,alcohol infused chocolate based cocktails and dessert 😋 The staff are good 👍 upmarket friendly café style setting that doesn't need fluff or over the top decor. The proof here is all you need for a good time out is -Simple but classy, good service, cocktail staff, waiting staff and chocolate. Alcohol free cocktails also available

    Loved this little treasure in the back street's of london. Great to site for a cocktails or 3 with Nacho. If you fancy a chocolate cocktail this has got to be a must in london. Great service and worth booking in advance i think. If you don't want to be disappointed when you arrive. Clean and very friendly staff Thanks guys

    Wow what a place! Went there tonight as part of a little trip to London and it did not disappoint. Plenty of different cocktails for people with a sweet tooth and caters to all different chocolate fans! Does also do a little sweet treat menu. The atmosphere was amazing as everyone in awe of all the cocktails and as soon as you walked in, you were hit with this delicious smell of chocolate. Booking is highly advisable as it's quite a small venue so I can imagine durning peak times it's rather busy. (Does also get you a free cocktail pp) Waitress was highly attentive so we never had an emtpy glass. Would definitely come back again when visiting London.

    It was a lovely date night at the club, the staff accommodating and the cocktails to die for, each one perfectly balanced with a little twist.

  • 5/5 Carlos S. 1 month ago on Google • 38 reviews New
    Great little hidden gem in London. Lots of choices on the menu and something for everyone. If you are chocolate lover, then this place is great for you. The menu also varies, for example at Christmas or Easter. The food was great as well, and good value for money. I’ve been twice and looking forward to the next time.

    We came with the London Pass (me and my BF are chocolate lovers!) to taste the chocotini, we did not booked but we had a table right away ! Chocotini were so good that we tried 2 other cocktails : Tipsy Tiramisu and Ferrero. Both were delicious too ! Waitress are really nice ! The next day we had a train cancellation (thanks you Eurostar 🤣) so we decided to go back for a little treats to cheer us up. It was a little crowdy so we were asked to come back after which we did. We waited a little inside but it was worth it ! We tried clockwork orange, black forest gateau, nutty for chocolate and shamazing strawberry. Thanks for these greats moments, we loved everything and thanks again for you kindness, you definitely will see us again when we will come back to london !

    I really liked everything! Prices even were cheaper compared to other places in London! I came for afternoon tea but apparently u need to make reservation for it beforehand, however menu was offering alternatives too! Thanks for the waiter who found for me last scone left!

    Visited The Chocolate Cocktail Club last night (Wednesday 31st) with some friends and twin sister, and was super impressed as have never visited before as was recommended this establishment by my sister who saw it advertised online. The staff members were very welcoming and friendly, and made sure that all our drinks were all good. The drinks themselves were absolutely incredible! (They also offer soft drinks, other cocktails and light snacks). What’s unique is they are all based on various chocolate desserts, myself choosing the Tiramisu alcoholic cocktail, and it was very soft and delicious and not too sickly either. I also loved the atmosphere and decor, and had a nice relaxing vibe especially after a long day at work or traversing London. Will definitely return when I come to the city again. Thank you for such a great evening and if you are in need of some alcohol (or mock tails) with a “sweet” twist, please visit The Chocolate Cocktail Club! 🍸🍫

    Came here for the second time recently and it simply does not miss! I don’t even have a particularly sweet tooth, but all of the five or so different drinks I’ve tried here have delivered a great flavour without being too sickly at all. Everyone has restaurants or bars they like, but I ask myself if there has been a single place I’ve ever known like this in London or elsewhere and the answer is a resounding no! Truly one of a kind; I cannot recommend The Chocolate Cocktail Club enough.

    Great cocktails! Sweet spot for young adults. Cute place. So make sure you make reservations before showing up.

  • 5/5 Buki O. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing time at the Chocolate Cocktail club over the weekend. My friend booked the treat for us. Online booking is highly recommended. The space is small, decorated very nicely and used effectively. We were greeted by a lovely lady and then shown to our table. We had the table for 90mins. Lovely collection of cocktails to choose from, the light bites menu is a bit restricted so would recommend having a meal before visiting. We had the Nachos, which came with 2 different dipping options and jalapeños. All in all, we had an amazing time. A visit is definitely worth it. Keep up the great work Christmas themed cocktails is a lovely twist 😊

  • 5/5 Annie S. 1 year ago on Google
    A super fun place with dozens of delicious, chocolatey (and some less obviously chocolatey for those of you with bad taste) cocktails!! The small chocolate shots come in a little chocolate cup and are great too. All reasonably priced for London. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 J H. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend visiting! The cocktails are lovely, an absolute treat! We tried a few different ones between us and enjoyed every one! They're presented beautifully too. What really makes this place special is the staff. Every staff member was so kind, welcoming and friendly (especially Rachel and Anne-Marie, they made us laugh and made the experience even better!) We will certainly be back!

    Great for people who loves chocolate!!! This is a very good place to enjoy cocktails. The atmosphere there is great. Staffs are very nice and friendly. There are many cocktail options and the cocktails are the best that I could find in the UK. I strongly recommend this place for dates or gatherings with a small group of friends. Walk in is possible on a Wednesday evening
