Exquisite chocolates in London

“Ordered the small gift box with my fingers crossed because it doesn't say what the arrangement will look like. I'm super pleased, it has made me emotional. The receiver loves them. Staff was very friendly and helpful when I called in asking for heyfever-friendly options, too. Arrived the next day after I ordered.”

“Small but cosy rooms with high-quality sheets and towels. The staff are pleasant, and the breakfast is very good. The cookies at reception are excellent. Do note that laundry charges incur an additional 20% VAT on top of the listed prices. Also, if it’s raining, be prepared to navigate a few puddles on the short walk to Ealing Broadway.”

“Helpful and polite service thank you!”

“great spot, they also do a damn fine matcha”

“Good selection of spirits wines and beer”

“Great place, great people, great memories”

“I recently attended a whiskey tasting and had such a great experience! I’ve never been much of a whiskey drinker, but the selection we tried completely changed my mind. The flavors were rich and smooth, and I learned a lot about the different types and how they’re made. I’ll definitely be getting more into whiskey after this — highly recommend this tasting to anyone curious or new to it!”

“Absolutely beautiful bouquet provided for my wedding day including smaller ones for bridesmaids and button holes for the men. They all exceeded my expectations. Everyone looked so beautiful. Cara was so lovely, professional and even flexible enough to deliver different bits to different locations as per my requirements. I’d definitely order again. If you’re thinking about a florist to book don’t hesitate to book in with CarBloom Designs! Thank you again for the amazing service.”

“My partner and I chose Harley’s flowers for our wedding at Dulwich College. We were very keen to have real flowers for the day, and we really connected with her style of flower arranging. She worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding to establish our chosen colour scheme, the types of flowers we liked and the arrangements we wanted, and advised us well on what would work for the venue. The flowers on the day surpassed our expectations, and really created a wonderful atmosphere on the day. The bouquets and displays were beautifully done and I particularly loved that she included plenty of dahlias after I mentioned how much I liked them during the planning stage. Harley was able to repurpose flowers from the ceremony for the staircase display, and also returned towards the end of the evening to breakdown the flower display into small bouquets for guests to take home, which was amazing. Harley’s patience and flexibility as we went through the planning process was fantastic, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist for their big day.”

“I googled a florist local to my friends house and chose this Florist on the off chance. The flowers were absolutely beautiful even more so than I expected them to be, my friend was so happy and so am I. I would definitely use this Florist again and I would definitely recommend them. You get great amount of flowers for your money.”

“I like this place! It’s a cafe and a bar! Which is probably why it’s called a cafebar I wonder why it’s called 166 though! I would love the owner to tell me! 166 is the international dialling code for Cocos (Keeling) Islands, a territory of Australia which I really want to go to - maybe it’s a link to Cocos??? Sending love from Belarus and I will be back”

“Expected it to be like any other wine/alcohol shop. Was pleasantly surprised. Stock levels are massive. They have huge selections of every spirits both small batch and mass produced. They do also take custom orders for parties or one off bottles you’d like. Staff were incredibly helpful offering detailed opinions and personal preferences. Very inclusive and welcoming. Openly admitted “the salesman in me says buy the more expensive one. The drinker in me says to buy the cheaper one as you’d enjoy it more” which I find amazing! Gave me tips and pointers for the future. They do also have a very varied collection of hot sauce and BBQ sauce which I’m in love with. New selection every 1-3 months depending on demand. By far my favourite shop for alcohol and a chat!!”

“Fab range of beers, including local ones, as well as lovely wine selection. The staff are super helpful if you're looking for something specific or for introducing you to new beers to try. I've got a friend that's gluten free and they stock GF beers as well which is great”

“Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. A brilliant 'proper' wine shop. Very pleased I sought it out and will definitely return.”

“Formosa, what a shop: the beauty of the day! Just entering and seeing how clean and decorated everything was, it already indicated the exquisite level of the place and its products. Very good coffee, it's been a long time since I enjoyed it so much... The white chocolate makes my mouth water, I could easily eat twelve pieces in one go... The care of the staff couldn't be better, it's what I want, thank you for not finding yourself in one of those overcrowded stores... I will definitely return.”

“Such good service the lady I spoke to was lovely and so helpful, when she delivered them she could not get an answer so phoned me and let me know she had left them in the porch , I had reports back that the flowers were lovely,would certainly recommend and would definitely use again”

“Impeccable work from the ladies, they were so polite and helpful. They even picked up the flowers from the funeral directors and delivered them to the crematorium when the funeral directors left our flowers behind. Beautiful bespoke work just as we had asked, they looked even better than we imagined. Would highly recommend.”

“The best sushi we’ve ever had. Tasty, well presented, and good value!! The food was prepared quickly. We had a great dinner. the owner was so friendly, and the young gentleman who served us was so polite and helpful. highly recommend!!”

“Amazing experience, great service from our waiter and amazing food made by the owner. Better than vast majority of French restaurants in Paris, don't miss it!”

“Delectable!! So excited Ilze has opened a cafe here and lovely to see a talented local artisan chef making delicious fresh treats on our highstreet rather than the franchise chain shops we see so often now. I was delighted to receive and am devouring my macaron birthday cake - wow! ;P”

“Lovely place with some of the best coffee I’ve had - intense flavour without the bitterness that a lot of the bigger coffee franchises have. Pastries+cakes looked really fresh and nice as well. Ambience is great, and the owner is highly invested and really kind to his staff. He designed everything himself, which I think is so impressive! A gem in the local area and deserves more recognition, don’t get your coffee anywhere else.”

“My first time. Delicious Shakshuka with Algerian sausage. Excellent coffee. Warm and friendly atmosphere from the staff. I want to visit again!”

“Consistently the best coffee in Royal Arsenal. It doesn't matter who serves you, what time of day it is, or what you order: this is the best quality coffee on the development. Great service, which is quick, yet always personable and never feels rushed.”

“Great little place for a matcha and vegan pastries! It was lovely to see 3 options for vegan croissants (plain, chocolate and almond). Absolutely delicious. Lovely staff.”

“Good place for Eastern European foods. It's a simple small family owned shop, but they stock things that you won't find in the supermarkets. We shop here often for cold smoked mackerel, caviar, cottage cheese etc in addition to normal Ocado deliveries.”

“Visited majestic to pick up supplies for a fine wine evening. Fortuitously Katy was working and was more than happy to assist, she was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. Outstanding customer service!”

“The floral wreaths were beautiful. We then ordered a Christmas wreath as we were so pleased with their flowers. The staff were very kind and didn’t rush us.”

“Absolutely fantastic place for lunch. Really friendly staff, great menu and food. Good portion size. We were lucky to arrive and were instantly seated but it was full. Cappucino was one of the best that we've had. Kids menu was lovely. They understood dietary requirements and we're facilitated easily. Toilets were clean and spacious but there's just one. It does have a baby change.”

“Our group The Emerald circle club, went there for Christmas lunch. A beautiful walk welcome as soon as you got to the door, a lovely lady was there to open it for you & take your coat etc. The place was spacious, very clean & a lovely ambiance. The food was plentiful & so delicious, great variety of both food & drinks. Great service, every staff member was warm & friendly. The bathroom was kept in good condition, clean, with interesting artwork on display. It was my first time; but definitely won't be my last, Please God.”

“Food was amazing, and our server (Aga) was lovely, as well as accommodating to my brother in allowing him to try a small taster of drinks before he made his choice.”
