Scam artists Beware, the website says when you order a box you can 'decide' whether to join their tasting club. What they don't say is that they decide for you, you won't know until they send you another box and charge you £20 for the privilege which they refuse to refund. Absolute scam artists, won't be using them again.

they send more chocolates you don't want and won't refund the charge I ordered a trial of this company's chocolates with an offer from the Gourmet Society. It clearly stated they wouldn't send more until I provided feedback. I didn't provide feedback yet today another box of chocolates arrived in the post. I called to advise I didn't want them and was basically told "tough". They now say I needed to advise them I didn't want them but this was not the information I received as it was a flyer that came with my Gourmet Society membership. Not happy that they swindle people this way - its not a good way to achieve ongoing business. I will find a different company to purchase chocolate from in future.

Good but with room for improvement Whilst the flavours I have tried in three different boxes are nice, on the whole they are quite mundane and have been done in countless boxes of high street chocolates. For true chocolate aficionados there is certainly a lack of dark chocolate as well. The customer service team have been exemplary in my dealings with them and I think it's brilliant how the boxes are made to fit through your letter box. I'll wait to see what the next one or two boxes contain but unless there are more adventurous flavour combinations I will stop my membership as it would not be worth the cost in my case.

Much prefer Hotel Chocolat I thought I would try this as an alternative but found the chocolates far too sweet and no real flavour of chocolate, more like a Thornton's or Cadbury's selection. I realise that many people prefer this type of chocolate but I prefer chocolates made with high cocoa content from good cocoa beans. The fillings I found insipid and lacking in flavour. I do not like the taste of Sorbitel as a sweetner and really has no place in chocolate. These chocolates from Cocoa Boutique are just not for me.

The best of the best Cocoa Boutique has the most amazing range of flavours and textures you will find in the one place. Everything from smooth white chocolate to intense dark chocolate covered ginger. It is worth trying out the sampler selection to check for yourself, you will be hooked.
