[Review] Greggs Festive Mint Chocolate

As Greggs have launched some festive items, I was here for the mint chocolate drink.


Unfortunately I was a bit stuffed so just had the steak bake which is delicious tender beef in gravy inside a puff pastry.



The mint chocolate was rather sweet but then I expected it to be sweet because the hot chocolate base is sweet so adding mint syrup will make it sweeter.

Overall, the mint chocolate is worth trying as the hot chocolate they serve is not bad with a hint of mind.
On another visit, had the triple chocolate donut and the caramel custard donut.

[Review] Said Dal 1923 London

As well as Dark Sugars, Said Dal is another good place in Central London for chocolate.
Said Dal 1923 was established in 1923 in Italy.

You can expect to find thick hot chocolates and desserts covered in chocolate sauces.
The menu:

As it was the afternoon,  I didn't feel like a hot chocolate so had Chocolate Tea with a donut topped with chocolate to satisfy my cocoa cravings.
The donut covered in chocolate was nice and rich with a mix of melted white, milk and dark chocolate finished with a perfect sugarless chocolate tea.



Overall, quite a nice place but the staff could have been more attentive and I wasn't impressed with a big piece of tissue stuck to the fork.

[Review] Dark Sugars

I was really looking forward to the hot chocolate at Dark Sugars.

There are two branches on Brick Lane.
Visited the one on the corner of Bacon Road which was really disappointing.
I arrived on a weekday afternoon and the door was locked so I thought just my luck it was closed but just as I was leaving someone opened door.
Without further ado I ordered the nutmeg hot chocolate but unfortunately the lady didn't bother to cut more chocolate and just scooped the crumbs from the chopping board to my hot choc.
Hence it was not as instaworthy as I had hoped and if you hadn't seen instagram you wouldn't have known to voice out.
Sadly I should have waited as the customers after me got instaworthy hot chocolates.

As there are two branches, I decided to try my luck at the other branch and it was really rewarding, the girls there were really nice.
The other branch is bigger with a bigger place to sit.





Also tried the cocoa tea which is made with cocoa beans.
The taste was a bit sour like drinking Cascara Tea.
