What to expect
Melt is a London chocolatier that makes its chocolates fresh and by hand. Its shop on Ledbury Road puts a small-batch chocolate counter in one of Notting Hill's prettiest shopping streets, a pleasant street for a short stop.
The range centres on fresh bonbons and truffles, plus bars, candied orange slices dipped in dark chocolate and gift boxes, with vegan and sugar-free choices. Melt also runs hands-on chocolate courses, including a bean-to-bar workshop, from its Notting Hill base. For most visitors it is a short browse and a purchase, not a full sightseeing stop.
Don't miss
- Fresh bonbons and truffles
- Candied orange slices in dark chocolate
- Filled chocolate bars
- Gift boxes by the counter
Tips for your visit
- Plan about fifteen minutes unless you book one of the chocolate workshops, which are arranged in advance on their website.
- Pair it with a walk along Ledbury Road and the rest of Notting Hill.
- If you want vegan or sugar-free chocolate, ask: both are part of the range.
