Right in the centre of Greenwich, Dark Sugars was opened by Nyanga and has chocolate made using West African cocoa beans. The staff are always lovely to speak to and helpful with their recommendations, and they have a wide selection of chocolates, which you can buy per weight with no minimum, plus a large variety of flavours of hot chocolate and ice creams. Though I go mostly for the hot chocolate.
When I first went here, I saw the board full of hot chocolates and decided I would work my way through the list. However, when I tried the ginger hot chocolate, I knew it was the flavour for me. I drank many of them over the winter for my walks around the Old Royal Naval College and down the river in the evening. I drank less over the summer but now I am getting excited that it is hot chocolate season again!
I did branch out recently when I was craving white chocolate and went for the Just Snow White and it cured my craving with the first sip, and I did really enjoy the mint ice cream when I branched out further into the ice creams!
Oh, and when they ask if you would like chocolate on top of the hot chocolate, they don’t mean sprinkles – they mean shavings of solid chocolate melted into your drink!
