Reviews of The Chocolate Museum

A.

Very friendly staff, especially the manager/owner (I didn't catch the name, I'm sorry) who seems to run the place with a passion. The instructions were very clear and easy my four year old took charge and did most of the work herself. She enjoyed herself so much she wants to come back again soon and we will. The museum is small but informative and has a variety of historical exhibits on display. The best part though is taking away some yummy treats for the journey home!

B. E.

Great fun to do with adults and or children. All explained and hands on. Easy to create yummy treats within a short space of time.

The museum itself is just one room with some cool artefacts and information. But they offer chocolate classes in the shop upstairs which was a reasonably priced fun afternoon and we ended up taking home a tonne of really tasty chocolate we'd made. Thanks for a lovely afternoon!

K.

A great afternoon activity for kids and adults! Plus the chocolate is quite tasty. It took us about 40 minutes to complete the seven step process. For each child was £9.50 and for a child & 1 adult was £15.00. When my two kids (7 & 9) were all finished we walked out with 11 chocolate lollipops and 24 candy bites. The only down fall is this place is small and a birthday party was going on when we did the “drop in” chocolate making experience. In the future I would call before hand to avoid the noise and commotion of large groups. We do plan to return again!

C. K.

This was a fun thing to do one afternoon, but I felt that the drop in chocolate workshop could have been done a little better. There is only enough filling for 8 truffles, and then you make buttons in a mould with melted chocolate. I also thought there would be more flavours to choose from, like nuts or freeze dried fruit, but it's just plain chocolate. However they were very tasty.

Fantastic birthday party!! Brought 13 six year olds for a birthday party. They all had a really amazing time! Staff Imogen and Sophia were fantastic! Really great with the kids despite the inevitable sugar high. Highly recommended! A solid 5 stars for an awesome experience!!!!

Brought my children here on Saturday as they love anything chocolate. Craig (I think that was his name 🤦‍♀️🤣) was lovely and patient with them and taught us step by step. They all had a great time making and eating the tasty truffles and lollies they made. Thank you 😊 Can't comment on the "museum" area as it is upstairs and can't access it in a wheelchair. But mine were more bothered about making chocolate anyway. 👍

Myself, my sister and my nephew all came along to this little hidden gem in Brixton today. After reading some of the reviews before attending we weren’t sure what to expect but we had such a lovely time!! The host, Craig looked after us and took us through the process patiently and gave us enough space to get on with the chocolate moulding and decorating. He was very polite and friendly. I would honestly recommend going to this little museum and taking part in the chocolate work shop. The truffles were to die for!! And my nephew loved the lollypop moulding too. Very hands on and some informative information downstairs too if you’re interested. 10 out of 10 from us three, thanks!! :)

Best hot chocolate ever! Super thick with no cornflour. Would be nice to have some thing to dip in it, but as my wife pointed out, you are given a spoon... The museum is limited but interesting, worth a visit. Looks like s good spot for kids parties.

S. L.

Run into this cute tiny museum, spent good 15 min in there and enjoyed the stuff displayed in there, it was quite informative. The cafe was having a workshop so I didn't try the drinks or chocolate.

E.

Visited for a 3 hour workshop as a Christmas present. Overly long session from very domanering woman but fairly enjoyable and left with a bag of goodies I made.

L. g.

Had a fabulous time with four 9 year old girls doing a drop-in truffle making session on a Sunday morning. Supervised by (charming and informative) Chiara, who was great with children, we made gorgeous truffles and lollipops. Thanks for the brilliant experience.

B. K.

A great time spent here this afternoon. I would advise arriving after the peak period of between 2-3:30pm to enjoy a relaxed educational experience. There are museum exhibits in the basement which give the background history of chocolate and the opportunity to participate in making your own chocolate creations. For myself and my daughter this cost £15 which was good value for money. One to recommend.

The Chocolate Museum is a real and hidden gem of the colourful and vibrant Brixton neighbourhood. This independent museum established here in 2013 and its collection consists of a range of objects and memorabilia acquired over many years from different merchants and collectors. Here you'll find a range of ethically sourced chocolates produced by independent bean-to-bar makers and focus on single origins chocolate bars, from Ghana, to Ivory Coast, to Ecuador, to Venezuela that blend fruits, spices and herbs. What I also really love about this place is the programme of workshops offered for families as well as for schools, or special occasions where you will learn many things about cocoa and how to make chocolate out of it. In addition to this, my 5 stars go to the lovely and professional ladies running this unexpected and tasty chocolate museum.

I. S.

Really enjoyed my recent visit to this cute little Chocolate Museum & cafe. The museum itself wasn't very big, but there were some interesting exhibits and information to help you learn about the chocolate history, chocolate trade and chocolate itself. The staff were welcoming and friendly. And they've made me one of the best hot chocolates in London... it was thick, smooth, not too sweet and perfectly delicious! There was also a small shop on the ground floor where you could buy some good quality chocolate products, although quite pricey.

Brilliant interactive tutorial on how to make chocolate treats. I took my seven year old daughter which was great for her as she got some time to spend in the chocolate meseum downstairs and learn a little about the history of chocolate. Very small facility, although they advertise it as walk in, it will get full very quickly so get there on time.

I booked my wife and I on to the chocolate making class a few Saturdays ago and we both had a great time. It was 3 hours of almost non-stop information and chocolate making and it never felt as though the instructor was just trying to fill time or skimp on ingredients. We both went away with a lot of chocolate (which we're still working our way through) and really enjoyed it. If you're looking for a chocolate making class then definitely go here rather than somewhere like Hotel Chocolat - it's local, better value and the chocolate is amazing.

Z. T.

Attended the 3 hour truffle making workshop. Had a fantastic time, very enjoyable and tasty! We learnt about the history of cocoa and how to make ganache and tempered chocolate (with some tasting along the way). We made a lot of chocolates which we could take home. Overall the staff were fantastic, gave great teaching without being overbearing, and it was definitely worth the money.

F. R.

We have just spent this morning at the Chocolate Museum workshop making truffles and learning all about tempering chocolate. We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience and took home our delicious chocolates 🍫 Really great experience and fun way to spend some quality half term time with my 14 year olds.

S.

The museum is okay, go for the hands on classes instead. The staff was good with a group of about 20 children, not easy! Good quality chocolate used to make chocolate lollipops and a variety of shapes. Kids loved it

L. H. d. P.

It's not certainly Willy Wonka's chocolate factory but when you're able to make your own delicious bonbons it feels like a magical afternoon. A great place to go with curious children as my nieces and nephews are

T. M.

Its a fun Chocolate DIY shop. Don't expect high class, just fun!!! Really enjoyed making Chocolate with my Daughter (23 going on 6!) Go there week day, bet its not too busy

A. P.

Great place to bring kids and to make your own sweeties

C. E.

Fun, well organised chocolate making.

M. R.

We did a Workshop. Very interesting, informative, fun, nice bunch of people, sociable, delicious, lots to take home. Quite messy, like play group for chocaholics!

N.

Went for a workshop on the Mayans- really interesting. Learnt about the process of bean to bar and then got to make our own (dark) chocolate. Good for a school trip with Upper KS2.

E. G.

Not much of a museum. It seems like a great place to go for a workshop or event, but as we didn't plan ahead for that, we found ourselves trying to read the information and museum plaques above people's heads, as the museum is just set up on the walls of the cafe. Not too impressed by the quality of the display.

M.

Only went to the chocolate mueseum. It is one small room with some information and display items. I wouldn't come here to just see the museum unless you are in the area. They also have chocolate workshops that aren't too expensive and look fun.

L.

Came here with the school on a trip, the children loved it and were education on the history of chocolate. They also made some yummy treats which was messy but awesome!

E. P.

A piece of gem to discover and share with the kids and all you chocoholics as well. Takes you back to the genesis of chocolate in all it's colours and creed across the globe. Don't have to travel far to appreciate what inner London has on offer!

C. H.

Had a great time today, interesting and funny. Thank you for a good time x

S. Y.

If you want to learn about the history of the chocolate in London that's the right place. The museum was open less than a year ago and already host variety of chocolate events so you can taste here different chocolate from all over the world.

m. k.

Great for kids. Learn about and create their own chocolate from moulds and toppings. Excellent for small birthday parties.

M. S.

Good fun and you actually learn a bit about chocolate and how's it made! My daughter's 8th Birthday (9kids) was a great success!

T. S. L.

When you take a sip of the best hot chocolate you’ve had in London, one that’s the perfect thickness thus tasting of real chocolate, but not too thick to leave you feeling sick, it’s easy to see why such an experience leads to a subsequent write up... Why not visit the Twenty Something London website to read on and find even more unique and independent places?

R. L.

This was a bit different to what we’d imagined but it was still fun. If you’re looking to learn a bit more about the history of chocolate and play a fun game at the end where the victor eats chocolate buttons this is for you.

I. A.

My daughter loved it! The staff were amazing, very good with kids and we had so much chocolate!

K. O. I.

This was such a fun experience for parents and kids. And the chocolate we made was excellent quality.

D. J.

It was good for information could have been more interactive. I felt alienated by the staff. They just wanted a sale from me.

K. B.

Excellent, very informative and we'll displayed. Musurm is downstairs. Had real hot chocolate drinks.
