The master chocolatiers welcomed their first customers this morning after taking over a huge unit.
The new concept store has a stunning outdoor terrace, cafe and shop with loads of space for shoppers to walk and browse through.
The British cacao grower and chocolatier’s new branch also includes a Velvetiser Cafe serving the iconic Velvetised drinking chocolate and other hot drinks.
The cafe is able to seat 48 guests to sit in and enjoy a drink and top-quality chocolate.
And the massive outdoor terrace has space for an extra 36 guests to sit outside where they can sit down and relax.
Products include smooth pralines, patisserie-inspired flavours and boozy chocolates that pack a punch.
It was fantastic to see the first customers step through the doors and enjoy everything this premium chocolatier has to offer

The cafe is also offering 18 different velvetised flavoured drinks served hot, over ice, or as a Choc Shake, which can be customised to any diet.
Staff at the new store can also help customers find their perfect ‘Love Match’ based on their favourite treats.
To celebrate the opening of the new store, Hotel Chocolat will offer surprise and delight moments to customers who buy something on the day.
And VIP.ME members will receive 20 per cent off at the Velvetiser Cafe with the customers being given the opportunity to join for free on the day.
