wish list - Melt, Notting Hill
Written by Oryx
Melt is a delectable chocolate boutique where the chocolates are designed and made by the in-house chocolatiers. Louise Nason is the founder of the shop based in the heart of bustling Notting Hill.
“I am a complete coffee fiend (fussy!) and find it extraordinarily hard to find a good coffee anywhere (apart from home where I make it super strong),” she says. “But I had a very good flat white at the new Bill Granger restaurant recently – a stone’s throw from Melt. I also like Tom’s Deli on Westbourne Grove for ambience – a buzzy, gossipy place for locals.”
Hot Chocolate
Dissolve one of Melt’s Hot Chocolate Blocks in a cup of hot milk or cream for a blissful hot chocolate drink. The stylishly wrapped blocks have individual flavour notes, the cocoa coming from a single origin including Venezuela, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, the Caribbean, or Colombia.

Love Bar
Love Bar is an irresistible crunchy milk chocolate bar. The silkiness of the milk chocolate has been combined with a crunchy feuillantine to create a very special bar, perfect for sharing.
