Lindt Lindor Dark Assorted Cornet 327g

This is the only chocolate package that it's a regular in my grocery shopping. I don't fancy the fancy-flavored or filled-in chocolates or bonbons. I don't like average milk chocolate at all. I enjoy chocolates that taste of chocolate, and dark chocolates are those that do it for me. T The three varieties in this cornet do taste of chocolate and I love them all for this very reason. They are the perfect size and very good quality, with the right amount of sugar for me, which is not the usual you find in average chocolates. The blue-foiled variety is the one with more milk, but still tastes of chocolate; it's very creamy and smooth. The silver-foiled is 60% cocoa and tastes a bit stronger, while the golden-foiled (and my favourite) is the 70% cocoa, which has a bit of bitter after-taste, something that I love. I wish this cornet had more dark varieties in it. The main downside is that the core of the balls gets very soft and even runny when the weather is warm or hot, so, I keep them always in the fridge and, if carrying them to work in Summer, I put them in my insulated lunch bag. Not the chocolates that I gift more often just because not everyone likes dark chocolate; otherwise, it is my preferred selection of chocolates.

Skittles Sours Chewy Lollies Snack and Share Party Bag 190g

If you, like me, have a sour teeth, skittles will make you soar to the sour. I love the crunchy coating, the chewy core, the fun colors and, most importantly, their level of sourness. The flavors in the package are lemon, orange, strawberry, green apple and grape. The flavors are very good and they taste of what they are meant to taste plus the sour punch. The initial coating is sweet, although not overly so, and the sourness comes after you chew them. On the flip side of things, these lollies are loaded with artificial colors and thickeners, so that's why I buy these now and then to appease my sour yearning. The package size and amount of skittles in it are considerable for the price, so this is good value for money.

The Sugarless Company A Casino Fruit Jellies, 70 g

Sugarless jellies are indeed sugarless, gluten free, artificial colors and artificial flavors free but they still have several chemicals in them.

Like with any sugar-free product, I expected the flavor not to be as good as those that have it. However, these gummies flavors are too light to be fully noticeable to be labelled as yummy or appetizing. Besides, there is no extra punch, like a bit of acidity or a bit of extra sugarless 'sugar' sprinkle or something that would enhance the eating experience. The packet still makes a nice snack if you need/want sugar-free snacks, but I won't order them again.

The packaging is misleading as the gummies, as per my photo,don't look like those on the package photo. Not much product for the price either.

Mentos Mini Rainbow Bag, 120g

These mini rainbow rolls are a hit with me and with anyone I've shared them with in the last month. It isn't just the colorful packaging and the mini size, which makes me feel less guilty at eating anything sweet, but also the chewable flavors: strawberry, grape, orange, watermelon and yuzu. Sweet, but not overly so. Flavors are totally different between each item but I'm not sure if they fully correspond with the names given to them. Very lovely overall. Ingredients are not too chemical for a lolly, something that I always appreciate.

Chupa Chups Best of Lollipops, 8 Lollipop Bag

Yummy selection of Chupa-Chups. This was a hit with my co-workers an with me. It has four popular flavors: cola, watermelon, strawberries and cream, and strawberry. To me, the cola and watermelon flavors are the best of the lot. The other two are yummy but also a bit too sweet for me. Overall a great taster bag

Chupa Chups 3D Fizzy Drinks Lollipops, 6 Lollipops, 90g

I bought this packet to sample the three flavors. By far, the cola flavor is my favorite. It really replicates the taste of any main bubbly cola drink out there, and the balance of flavor and sweetness is great The tropical and orange flavors are true to the flavors of known brands fizzy drinks, but, this being the case, they are also very sweet or too sweet for me These lollipops are bigger than the average Chupa Chups and are flatfish not round. Value for money.

28/10/2022 CHUPA CHUPS CHEWS
These chews are really addictive, in a good way, and they've been a hit with my coworkers. The bag has a good amount of lollies. They come in three flavors and I love them all, but my pals have their own preferences as some of them prefer just one of the varieties in the package. I love the fact that they aren't overly sweet and that the flavors are what they've meant to be. They don't stick to my teeth as badly as others do, which is really great. On the other hand, the individual wrapping is not the best as it tends to stick to the lollies and they are sometimes difficult to open. Also, the amount of the three flavors is not equal, and some of the flavors are over-present in some of the bags. I wish they did this in other flavors, too. I've already bought 4 packages of these, and a bag disappear as soon as I share them, which doesn't always happens with other sweets my pals and I share. I will buy again.

The place is very functional and has a sleek contemporary design and vibe, still being comfortable and accommodating. Almost half of the place is occupied by the chocolate shop, with  display and sale cabinets. The rest is occupied by the café properly speaking and the open preparation area, which is very cool and quite large.

I love their seating area, so well thought and considerate, perfect for solo visitors, couples, families, groups. Whomever! Whatever!

The selection of chocolates and sweets is delightful and delectable.

The Chocolate Dome is absolutely wonderful in taste and presentation and not heavy on your stomach. A great mix of textures and flavours, and so aesthetically pleasant that you feel bad for breaking the visual spell with your spoon. My favourite thing in their menu.

The Alice Lemington is OK, a bit of a let down.

Their individual chocolates taste of what they are suppose to. Don't frown! This happens so rarely nowadays! All the chocolate pieces I have tried have been much of my liking, perhaps my favourite thing has been one of their simplest: the Orange Segment as orange and chocolate are like a perfect couple; use it as your coffee's date.

Their normal coffees are really forgettable, not barista quality. No no no! However, their iced coffees and chocolate are yummy. No surprise, no? Try the chocolate ice chocolate mixed with raspberry and bring your tongue and tonsils to heaven.

Service is fast and attentive, very welcoming and smiley. However, I found odd that during one of my visits I ordered an espresso coffee and the waitress did not know what that was (!)

Pricing is OK, a bit high for the individual pieces of chocolate and iced coffees/chocolates.

I would like their chart of prepared sweets enlarged, and also their normal coffees improved. They would make themselves a favour. Any chocolate needs of a great coffee!
