"Absolutely delicious, beautiful designs and incredibly nice people. They made to order, on the spot, a special heart chocolate for my anniversary (had to wait 1.5 hours which allowed us to meander through Essex). Brew their own tea from Harney and the iced coffee was superb. They even had oat milk! Thank you Claire and Karen. Your shop is a delightful find!"
"Dark chocolate sea salt caramels…fresh out of the kitchen. Pure magic! Skip the bag & eat it while you pay."
