Chocolatiers Cafe Bridport in West Dorset

The best hot chocolate in Bridport! Served with a hot toasted tea cake sat outside on a Saturday morning. Great place to watch the busy world of Bridport go by.

Super.Very busy but had to move outside due to a dog who kept pestering us when left by its owner.Dog smelly and yappy.However all good otherwise but a 'NON DOG' area would make it even better.

Absolutely delicious hot chocolate and chocolate Brownie. The staff are very friendly and the cafe is a welcoming space, especially on a wet day!

We live near Bridport and enjoy a hot chocolate when we’re out and about. We drank hot chocolate with the bells and whistles and a slice of cake with bramble jelly. It was super delicious, the seating inside was comfortable and service quick and friendly. My wife carried on shopping with a blob of cream from the hot chocolate on the end of her beak. It amuses me no end, alas not her. A great place for a hot drink, not to mention the superb hand made chocolates.

Amazing cafe in the heart of Bridport. The hot chocolate is out of this world- the best! Friendly staff and yummy cakes, what more could you ask for!

Our kids really love this spot. Good coffees, delicious cakes! We really love the little chocolate frogs on the side too.

Called in on the off chance. We ordered coffee, hot chocolate, and cake. The coffees were nice and the youngest hot chocolate had lots of whipped cream and marshmallows. We all had a little chocolate frog. The cakes were lovely and light.

Friendly service, amazing chocolate brownie and great coffee and walnut cake. Specialised chocolates a must to try Great to support a local enterprise. Good luck ladies.

Been to many cafes here but this is the best.Fab Tea Cake,coffee and tea.Staff good fun and young Miss Poppy looked after us very well.Bridport always buzzing on a sat morning and will defo be back here.

We stopped in for a coffee, tea and a peanut butter cookie, and a biscoff cookie, husband was very impressed says its the best coffee he has has had in a long time.

Great little cafe. Excellent Hot Chocolate - choice of white, milk and dark + extras. Also coffee, chocolates and cakes.

Lovely service , hot chocolate made with real chocolate, excellent coffee. Simply a really pleasant coffee shop. They also looked to be selling some delicious chocolates.

Not been in for a while so was pleasantly surprised. Nice pot of tea and a toasted tea cake. Friendly service and very clean.

Superb coffee ,excellent service and delightfully packaged, top quality chocolates. Brilliant brownies (home made ) as well

I am so disappointed. After booking online 2weeks ahead for 2 children, and paying £8.95 each for a chocolate decorating activity, we arrived at our booked time to discover a long wait (10 min for a 2 year old with nothing to do is a LONG time). Dirty tables, no space, and an insistence we could squeeze in to a tiny table after 15 minutes waiting. There were 9 people in 2 groups already, in a small back room, indoor, non ventilated area. And whilst masks are not required by law, no masks being worn. Covid cases in West Dorset today are at 1201 (source Zoe app). Simple precautions such as ventilation and not overcrowding indoor areas are advisable. It is simply greedy to over book an area like this, and put people at greater risks. It is half term, and whilst we are local, and try to support local businesses, many visitors are holiday makers and tourists. Again - think of the risks! Apologies were scant, just an offer of waiting an hour for space. What was the point of booking for 11am then? One little boy, in his best skeleton outfit, left extremely sad he could not do the ‘fun times’ he had been promised. A refund was not readily offered either - so frustrating. This cafe have put customers at risk in seeking profit of squeezing people with in, with no thought for comfort or safety. I simply cannot recommend them, and advise other families to avoid booking any activities to avoid disappointing any child who was so looking forward to making treats.

Ordered two Belgian Hot Chocolates and a couple of cakes then sat in the sunshine watching Bridport walk past. Service was good, thanks Dawn for your helpful advice. Happy to recommend

We tend to avoid the major coffee chains, in favour of the little local coffee shops. We were not disappointed, the Aleksandra's was very good indeed excellent cappuccino, and very good homemade cakes. We also had little tempters of small chocolates - which we think were on made on the premises (?) - far too tempting for a diabetic.

Found this coffee shop whilst walking in Bridport. Had latte and lemon drizzle cake. The cake was delicious. We also loved the little chocolate frog that came with the coffee

Having tried various cafes recently have felt the coffee wasn’t good in the paper cups but today a brilliant coffee and service and lovely cake to boot, pity we don’t live near Bridport but we will be back ! Thank you.

Lovely chocholate things but also light lunches and snacks. Seating inside and on pavement should the weather allow.

Booked for a hen party to make chocolates. A very good couple of hours learning how to make chocolates, making them and drinking prosecco. Very nice teacher and great fun.

We visited Bridport twice on Wednesday market days while spending a couple of weeks in the area. We had a very nice light lunch at Aleksandra's each time and enjoyed sitting outside in their pavement tables and watching the world go by.We enjoyed the very nice bacon sandwich and coffee market day special and we also enjoyed their excellent tuna and brie and cranberry sandwiches.Very pleasant staff and all the food is made fresh to order and they use local suppliers for all their food.Would highly recommend for visitors who are looking for a quality cafe while enjoying a visit to bustling Bridport.

Killing time in Bridport today we decided to take elevenses here. Quite simply the nicest hot chocolate I've enjoyedfir a while. Goodbye diet!

Delicious toastie served with a tasty green salad and excellent coffee. Lovely touch that they put one of their excellent frog shaped chocolates in the coffee spoon. Service efficient and tables clean.

I recently had a fantastic, fun night making chocolates with a group of friends. We all absolutely loved it!After having prosecco on arrival we got to make our own.A relaxed and warm atmosphere throughout, we all felt very welcome.I would definitely recommend it.

Always a good welcome and I have asked for commission pieces for presents. Service is always friendly. I bought a superb advent calendar this year and you choose the chocolates for it. I will continue it is a great coffee venue

My colleagues and I booked a chocolate truffles making session for a team bonding experience, we couldn't be more impressed with the organisation and quality of the night. We had plenty of chocolate and drinks included in the price, the owner of the shop was there to greet us with a glass when we arrived and made us feel very welcomed, he was very helpful and explained really well how we had to make our chocolates, we had loads to ear while making them and were givwn a prettty box to take them back home, overall we all had an amazing night, definitely recommend

Was looking for somewhere to have a lunch snack and coffee. Came across this independent cafe and was not disappointed with our sandwiches or coffee. Toilets were very clean also. If you are ever in Bridport swing by at this cafe, you won’t be disappointed.

Not impressed at all with this cafe. Waited 45 minutes for two sandwiches. The crab sandwich had been cut with the same knife as the brie and cranberry so has cranberry sauce down the centre. They dud make another but it was watery, tastless and had no seasoning. We were offered a refund but having finished our sandwiches and waited for far too long we left without it. We will not be returning.

June 25th 2018 a glorious day.We arrived in the Main Street of Bridport as the clock struck 2pm having paid for two hours parking. We planned to stay long enough to enjoy a light bite and a mooch around the shops. Lunch was budgetted for around £20 and we hoped to visit the shops, spending as we pleased.We had a warm welcome at one of the pubs whose excellent lunch menu was far more substantial than we could manage. The Chocolatiers Cafe caught our eye. Sandwiches, baked potatoes, coffees were ideal choices on the menu. The girl who served us explained that we had arrived too late at 14.10 for such food. We made do with a delicious latte, disappointed and very hungry after hours of driving from the far west.Some twenty minutes later the next customers arrived, It was a quiet cafe. They requested a light lunch and were also told it was not available. The owner intervened, explained that were short staffed( he did not mention that they were also short of customers) . He said that lunch would be available for this couple. I pointed out that we would would have liked the same service. He apologised, but did not offer us a meal, which would have added about £20 to the day's takings.We did not stay any longer in the town.

I visited yesterday and it was market day. Beautiful bacon sandwich with a side salad and a lovely cup of tea for just £4.95 Will definitely be back. Delicious

We stopped for a toasted sandwich it was basically 2 pieces of toast with flavourless cheese. Staff disinterested was a bit if a disaster

. I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned if the toilets aren't clean which they certainly weren't here then it's a no from me and will not be returning

lovely little café and all the reviews are right your cappuccino was the best I have had for a very long time.just had to buy there chocolates they are lush. will be back...

We stopped in here for coffee and chocolate on a wet day. The chocolates were delicious, loved my Baileys one! Staff were friendly which is always lovely when you are visiting.

To be honest, it was the main reason we went here because they allowed the dog in. But. The coffees and the chocolate brownies were divine. The owner was very friendly and chatty too. Would definitely return and buy more brownies the next time!

Saw their new menu and thought I’d treat myself. Their new club sandwich is absolutely delicious - best I’ve had in the UK. I will be back.

A friendly cafe with absolutely DELICIOUS handmade chocolates. Great cappuccino and they put chocolate sauce on it instead of boring powdery stuff! Yum!!!

Superb service and top quality drinks. Especially love the Full Works chocolate drink and yummy eats

Stopped off for a warming drink on a wet day. Coffee smelt good but I couldnt resist the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows which was as good as it sounds

Tea ,coffee and then hot Chocolate this was the best I have had for a very long time. No extras on top but nice and hot . Staff very very friendly and quick . One member of staff was writing backwards on the window from...

Popped in with some friends for coffee and tried some of the yummy chocolates too. The proprietors Aleks and Gareth...

No soy normalmente un ventilador de chocolate caliente, pero me pareció de mala educación pedir algo cuando aparecimos aquí para una bebida (aunque hay una amplia gama de otras bebidas disponibles). El belga chocolate caliente estaba muy rico y delicioso, complementadas por una pequeña rana...

Alway pop in here for a coffee and toasted teacake both of which are very good,today we had lunch Jacket...

Una acogedora cafetería, con un personal amable y una variedad encantadora de bombones hechos a mano. Sólo tuvimos una bebida a mediados de mañana, pero el capuchino es uno de los mejores que he probado, y la pequeña llovizna de chocolate casero en la cima...

Visitamos dos veces durante nuestra reciente estancia cerca de Bridport. Leche y chocolate caliente era muy bueno, y el servicio fue muy eficiente y amable. Otra ventaja para los turistas con perros, es que también es perros.

Una pequeña cafetería con servicio amable. Café siempre bueno y bocadillos excelente mientras que el chocolatero está haciendo chocolate en frente de usted. Pero si lo que quieres es una delicia probar el chocolate caliente de polvo, pero no se evapora belga chic en leche caliente. No soy un gran hombre, pero ésta una movimiento tierra! Cantar y probar el hecho brownies. perfeccionar No ir demasiado a menudo o tendría muy grasas.

Small space but very welcoming and comfy. Fab coffee and gorgeous chocolates for sale!! What more can you ask for?!!!

Possibly the best coffee in Town. A friendly couple of proprietors and their efficient and pleasant staff. A nice place for a good drink and natter and you can see the chocolate goodies being made and you can order personalised chocolate items as gifts. Much better value than some of the larger chocolate franchises

Called in for Hot Chocolate on a cold day. It was the best we'd had, superb! They offer plenty of other things including their own Chocolate made on the premises. There was Chocolate Roses for Mothers Day and plenty of hand made Easter Eggs. Local Ice Cream and tables outside for the better weather too. We had a friendly welcome and enjoyed our 20 minutes of Hot Chocolate Paradise. Don't walk past this place on Bridport High Street.

awesome place, recommend it to all visitors and localsfriendly and helpful staff, good selection of drinks and food - with the best chocolate

You can be guaranteed a friendly welcome on arrival, prompt service and each drinks order has a little, complimentary chocolate frog on the saucer. A nice touch and although the Bridport Coffee shops are many, the coffee is probably the best in town. Friends tell me that the hot chocolate is to die for! Immaculate loos and a great family firm with a nice atmosphere.Gareth the proprietor and his wife Alex, gave a talk/presentation to a school party the other day and it looks as though nothing was too much trouble, to keep regulars happy as well as their one-off guests interested in the art of chocolate making. A great venue for a small business meeting or just chilling with an excellent hot drink

They have a quaint tradition of putting a lovely little chocolate frog on your spoon when they make your drink. I had a Skinny flat white which was delicious. They sell their own handmade chocolate and wrap them beautifully, so good for gifts. They allow dogs in cafe.

This is an ideal meeting place for you to enjoy coffee, chat & chocolate.The staff are always welcoming and the coffee is very nice.Lovely getting a little chocolate frog on your tea spoon.The café is kept very tidy and the tables are always cleared away.If in the area, this is ideal to have a meeting in. You will not be disturbed and it never gets too noisy

Best hot chocolates iv ever had. Lovely chocolates. What more could you want. I love shopping local and especially when the products are so great. Always come here over any other cafe for a hot drink.

A lovely cafe that makes its own chocolate in front of your eyes! Every coffee will did a chocolate frog sitting on the spoon! It's a friendly cafe that allows dogs in to the front part of the cafe. Needless to say their hot chocolate is to die for !

Whilst this is a 'chocolate cafe' the coffee they served was excellent Good toasted tea cake with enough butter for both halves (often a problem I find!)Few tables outside to sit which are on the pavement of the main high street but in a warm autumn day was very pleasant

My friend and I popped into to this lovely little cafe ( seats outside too)for a quick hot drink and a toasted tea cake. I can't remember when Ilast had a hot chocolate drink that was so so good. Not only was it piping hot( which I love!) but made from Belgian chocolate 'pellets' not powder and adorned with cream and mini marshmallows, it was to die for and it doesn't end there! Sitting in the spoon was a tiny chocolate frog! This of course came from their wonderful handmade chocolates on sale also as you come into the cafe.But what a lovely little touch.We were told there was a variety of savoury dishes available but we arrived almost at the end of their day. However we were informed if in the future we did want something later in the day we just had to give them a ring and they would happily rustle up a jacket potato or something else that was on the menu which we thought was really accommodating and a really friendly gesture.Added to all this we were offered a loyalty card which was great as we would certainly be returning and recommending this great cafe to all our friends.

Stopped by for coffees and a sandwich. Coffee was excellent, strong and hot. The sandwiches on good local baked bread with good ample fillings,. Pleasant staff, highly recommended!

If you need a coffee, then pop in here and admire the chocolate artwork within.It's a relaxed place with lovely produce. The chocolate products are beautiful. You get a frog taster on your coffee spoon.Absolutely gorgeous brownies too.Usual final question: "Would I return?"YES, Every time I am in Bridport.

Fabulous little place which does a great selection of sandwiches for a good price.Add yourself a lovely little cappuccino on the side and it's a perfect lunch. (Best cappuccino in Bridport too)

What a lovely cafe to visit with children and family. The chocolate selection was delicious, the coffee was great, and the baby chino with a smiley face and bowl of sweets as a treat for the kids was perfect. This place has a lovely, homely feel as you sit with locals and enjoy the community of Bridport on a cloudy, but warm morning.

Just walked past and liked the look of this cafe. Had two very nice cappuccinos which were served with a little chocolate frog. Lots of lovely hand made chocolates for sales. Very nice place. Would visit again if we come back to Bridport.

Met a friend here for coffee ... It's lovely .... Not just the coffee the whole ambience is great ... A small chocolate served with your coffee and an array of beautiful chocolates available to buy too ... The layout inside in nice not all crammed in so great for having a chat undisturbed ... Lovely little place

A great place to come and relax. I particularly enjoy 'The Works' hot chocolate. The service can be a little lacking when the owners are away from the counter, but I keep going back so it can't be that bad!

Cosy cafe serving some of the best chocolate and hot chocolate I have ever tasted. Great staff with great service.

I took a friend here who had never been before.We had coffee and a lovely time.Owner & staff are always helpful and friendly.Usual final question: "Would I return?"Yes, Any time I am in Bridport

The service is absolutely 10/10. Great welcoming lovely people to chat to and can get what we want. We go back to them once or twice a year and when we are there we visit at least 3-4 times a week.

Took a friend to this place for their first time.We totally enjoyed our coffee and little sample chocolate.Service as good as it gets.Even came back later to buy a bar of chilli chocolate.I usually ask myself my final question "Would I return?" my friend said he couldn't wait to return. I will always return when in Bridport. Great place

Can definitely recommend this small cafe if you like luxurious hot chocolate. They come very close to having the best I've tasted. The best was Chococo in Swanage, but give these people a try if your in the Bridport area

We visited in a family group and enjoyed the selection of drinks with something for everyone, from delicious Mochas to a tasty but not too rich milkshake quirkily presented in a milk bottle and the heavenly chocolate brownies were a delight. Very reasonably priced too. Well worth a try!

Had a really lovely experience here. We ordered hot drinks which came with tiny chocolate frogs and 2 of the brownies to share, which were delicious. Had to pop back in for a couple of boxes of chocolates! The whole place smells incredible and the woman who worked there was lovely. Highly recommended!

I must say, The Violet Creams were just fantastic !.............and everybody very friendly and helpful, as a local, a great find and good to get away from the multi-chain delivery.Keep up the good work, I will see you again.

Really nice welcome. It was too early for us to try the food but the hot chocolate (made from beans rather than powder), was smooth and tasty. If have liked to try an even thicker version, perhaps as an espresso size.We'll definitely be back

Fancied a coffee after shopping in Bridport and noticed the Chocolatiers cafe, being a chocolate fan as well thought it made the perfect choice. Now ive drank lots of coffee in lots of places, and i am a black americano type drinker, so no milk or fancy syrups here, i like to taste my coffee. It was amazing.....not sure what they do but it prompted me to write this review. Nice little chocolate frog on the side with the coffee was equally good ! Lovely people, very friendly, relaxing environment, staff helpful and attentive.......was with the kids too and the fresh milkshakes that they had looked and tasted amazing. A lovely find.

This is a little gem of a cafe that serves very good coffee and delicious hot chocolate. The service was excellent and the prices reasonable. I can't wait to return!

I go here quite a lot with friends and family. We always get a warm welcome and everyone is really helpful.The coffee is great and the chocolates are even better!

What can I say? This place has to be visited.Great chocolate, polite staff, superb chocolate, reasonable prices, excellent chocolate, nice coffee and did I mention the lovely chocolate?I am hooked on their chilli chocolate!Usual last question:"Would I return?"Most definitely, whenever in the area.

We called in here for a light lunch / snack and were glad we did!! A lovely feel to it and good Coffee and teas!! The food was prepared with care and was duly eaten and enjoyed!!!!

The front part of the shop sells chocoates which are expensive but an exquisite treat,The cafe is a wonderful place to enjoy drinks and a cookie. We had a variety of tea coffee and chocolate with home made chocolate brownie which was delicious. Lovely friendly helpful service,Supoort the indepenent coffee shops rather than the bland chains.

We looked on TripAdvisor and they got good reviews alot so we decided to visit. The cafe is clean tidy and good atmosphere, coffee was very very good. We had chillies chocolate and brownie which very nice and small frog chocolate offered nice as well. Would recommend this place for everyone!!!

I have visited here twice, the first time I had a delicious cappuccino with a side of chocolate frog and a brownie, all deliciously tasty. Although I was served quickly, the serving staff chatting quite loudly was a distraction. The second time I went in, the cappuccino was nothing like as good so I have been left rather confused!

Have stopped here a few times now for coffee and a snack and not been disappointed. We especially recommend trying the chocolatiers treats (take a bar or two home!) our favourite probably the coffee bean covered dark chocolate ... must be well loved they were sold out on our last trip!

We wanted coffee and maybe some chocolate. It was good coffee, great chocolate, in a friendly homey atmosphere. Resist the chain store coffee bars and support your local good guy!

We love it in here. As you would expect the hot chocolate is fab, chocolate brownies to die for and it always smells really chocolatey Really chilled out atmosphere and in good weather great to sit outside and people watch

We came across this little cafe whilst visiting Bridport for the first time recently. It was mid afternoon and the lunchtime rush was over, but the young staff were cheery and helpful. We only had drinks and light snacks, but these were pleasant and were turned around quickly. The handmade chocolates looked lovely, but we didn't try due to ever expanding waistlines.

OMG, you have to try their brownies, the best ever!! Coupled with wonderful coffees and scrummy chocolates this is a little gem not to be missed...

Whilst on holiday called in this café for a mid morning drink as we always try out independents (have an aversion to chain coffee shops!) Had the hot chocolate as that's always the litmus test for me! It was beautiful; very hot (as it should be!) very chocolatey, very tasty. I've put them in my top 3 so far and I've tried a lot! Menu looked lovely, shame we'd had breakfast so didn't get to try the food.

It's not often I write a review about chocolate brownies but these are heavenly - not quite worked out how they get large chunks of delicious chocolate in the bottom of them but they do and they are delicious. Have yet to work my way through their chocolates on sale too. The coffee is also good as is the service. They also do a small selection of lunches too.

We stopped off here for a coffee and cake after a long walk. It was about 30 mins before they close. We had a good coffee and a great brownie but the lemon sponge seemed as if was bought straight out of a McVities box... Ok but plastic. If this was the end of the day it would be better to have nothing than plastic sponge cake.What gives this average rather than great is the staff washing up and sweeping all around us. It was near closing time but wait until you have closed rather than making us feel we should leave asap.Do visit .... But perhaps earlier than we did.

Had a coffee and hot chocolate and even though a small cafe it is comfortable. And to have a chocolate mouse on your spoon is lovely. The chocolate is all home made and makes lovely gifts. Drinks lovely and hot, staff friendly and we return regularly .

Enjoyed a snack lunch with a friend. Staff very, very helpful, accommodating, amiable. Couldn't do enough. Food very well presented. I bought a chocolate shoe for my granddaughter's birthday - very unusual gift. There was quite a choice.

Visited this place with our adult severely autistic son. In the small shop he had a meltdown. This is unpredictable and traumatic for him, his parents and anyone witnessing it. We managed to bundle him outside having left our purchases on the table inside the cafe. Eventually he calmed down on the bench on the pavement outside the shop. I went back in to apologise to the young man in charge. He said I had nothing to apologise for and asked if our son would like his cup of tea. He then brought out a table and our refreshments to sit outside. Can we just say that an attitude like this makes a world of difference to families like ours. The young man's acceptance was so appreciated. It was lovely coffee and chocolates, but it was the sensitive help that will stay in our memory most of all. Support this shop!

This tiny cafe makes its own chocolate treats on the premises. The very air you breath inside tastes of chocolate. They have level access for wheel chair users and they were more than happy to move tables and chairs to accommodate our disabled friend.Good coffee and tea, served with a smile. Great local knowledge and advice.We look forward to another visit.

Excellent, chocolate, coffee and mocha all fantastic. All the staff and especially the owners Gareth and Alex very friendly. Small venue so can get very busy but its worth the wait. Handmade chocolate too what more can a chocoholic want!!!

Lovely friendly staff, Super delicious chocolates, excellent but limited snacks. The building limits what they can do though.

Discovered this chocolate oasis whilst mooching round the Saturday market, a lovely find.Friendly service, good coffee and delicious hot chocolate. Complimentary chocolate frogs are a nice touch

This place is unique. The service is spot on; the chocolate is handmade by the best chocolatier on the South Coast and the coffee is the real deal. Not that muddy water nonsense you'll find at the big name places. You've got to give this place a try!!

Superb chocolate and bespoke service.Ordered quite a lot for Xmas for home and pressies, all bespoked for my family, guests and friends. Excellent friendly advice and all boxed and bagged in pretty Xmas decoration. The Xmas santa , reindeer and snowman looked wonderful and very tasty too.Certainly recommend with flying colours.Coffee and hot chocolate very delicious along with a little choccy frog.So very decadent.Thankyou

Should be a law against places like this! They encourage a love for chocolate which the bible says shalt lead to thy falling from the righteous diet .... oooh but that little chocolate froglet is rather hmmmmm. Only small so you can have yer chocolate and still go to heaven.
