Gourmet Café Chocolate Spot: 1657 Chocolate House

The 1657 Chocolate House: THE English Hot Spot for Gourmet Chocolate Lovers

If you’re one of the many with a penchant for chocolate – then you might want to make a special trip to Kendal, England if you’re in the area. Located on Branthwaite Brow street, The 1657 Chocolate House carries everything a chocolate lover could dream of – and more!

In their restaurant, you’ll feel like an Aztec in the Renaissance when ladies in traditional 17th century garb serve you your choice of eighteen specialty chocolate beverages. You can also choose from fourteen homemade gateaux.

Get the full chocolate experience by learning all about the chocolate process, then by watching their video about how chocolate is created, and then finish your chocolate education by hand-dipping your own chocolate! It’s a sweet learning experience for adults and children alike.

You’ll also get a chance to take part in their fondue feast!

For their gourmet chocolates be sure to stop by their shop, Aladdin’s Cave, where you’ll find hundreds of chocolates ranging from fruit filled to liquor filled to crèmes, all of which you can have gift-wrapped in their hand-ribboned gift boxes.

This quaint little chocolate spot is sure to please, so if you’re in the area, make sure to stop by this A1 Gourmet Travel Spot!
