GBGreat chocolates, good value when on offer I placed about 4 orders that never showed up, when I emailed to ask about them they said my payment hadn't gone through. These were 4 different credit cards, all with enough money on them. Could have been a technical error (weird, on 4 different occasions?) but it would have been nice if they'd emailed to let me know there was a problem, especially as the last one was meant to be a Christmas gift. However, I do love their chocolates. The other boxes that did show up were delicious, each box has one or two really unique flavours that I've never tasted in chocolate form before!

GBDislike this company Chocolates are overpriced. Good but not that good compared to what you can get elsewhere. Cocoa Boutique appear to gain customers via getting them to sign up for free or discounted chocolates. In small print this means they are then a member and will receive (often unexpected) boxes at full price thereafter. Although you must give permission and submit payment details, the lack of clarity and the small window in which you can then cancel membership, means that you are likely to be hoodwinked into overpriced chocolates you don't want at a later date. If you are vigilant and cancel membership after the discounted box, it is worth it. For the majority of us who forget and/or don't read the small print, it is not worth it. There is a guarantee to be refunded if you are not satisfied. This has not been true for myself or others. Don't believe it! Because I dislike the tactics and strategy used to gain customers, I will not buy from them again.

GBFantastic: consistently dynamic, frequently quirky, but always top-quality chocolates! Such a range in every box, and such quality too! Fairly pricy, true, so best taken at a steady pace. It's also impressive how sturdy the actual box is, seeing that it can fit through one's front door letterbox! It's worth taking a lot at the explanations and the stories, both on the paper version that comes with the box and the stuff on the website.

GBWhat's not to like? What's not to like about Cocoa Boutique? Well I haven't found anything yet. A monthly box of high quality chocolates at a good price. A good mix of tastes, flavours and textures in each box that will tickle, tantalise, soothe and surprise your taste buds. You won't like all of them - but that's the idea - trying out new flavours. I have certainly found a few taste combinations that I would never have even thought about before. Your eyes will also get a treat feasting on these beautifully crafted chocolates. Oh - actually I do dislike one thing. As there are two of each chocolate in every box I have to share with my partner or else he sulks!

GBreally good chocolate but too expensive! As I said in my tasting review I have been a member of another chocolate tasting club for many years (about 10). In your favour: the quality is really good and a nice variety of different kind of chocolates and textures. Some of your chocolate is quite 'simple', which is not a problem, but the price relationship is just wrong. Hotel Chocolat gives you about 100 gr more in their box and charges less than you! I love that you use local chocolatiers, but they should therefore be if anything more reasonable as chocolate made and shipped from the continent.
