Hotel Chocolat is launching a new space at White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds.
The new site will combine a luxury retail store with a dedicated Velvetiser Café, allowing guests to “explore cacao in all its forms”.
The Velvetiser Café will serve bakes and cakes inspired by the retailer’s most-loved chocolates, which are designed to pair perfectly with the drinks menu.
Visitors can choose from 19 core hot drinking chocolate flavours, limited-edition seasonal specials, as well as six iced drinking chocolates, all of which can be served as choc shakes.
Each drink can be tailored with dairy or plant-based alternatives and finished with a choice of toppings, including the company’s signature cacao whip.
