I’m a highly social person, which doesn’t always go well with a Master’s degree, three sports, social media stuff and blogging. To add to my busy life, I decided to attend a chocolate meet-up with randomers, and I am very glad I did. Not only did I eat great chocolate, but I also met some very nice people 🙂
Cocomaya (W2 2AF) is both a café and a bakery, but most importantly, it’s a chocolate shop!
The interior is cosy and quaint, reminiscent of old-fashioned British tea-shops, with wooden floorboards and floral-patterned china. It strikes a welcoming balance between simplicity and cosiness.
Of course, it’s also littered with chocolatey offerings, some of which look too sparkly and too pretty to be eaten.
Our order was to be a simple process: a cake or pastry from the bakery and a drink for £5.25.
I chose a flourless chocolate cake with a dense chocolate sauce. It was very chocolatey but it had a very faint, almost-metallic tang to it, which didn’t quite work for me. However, there were plenty of other tantalising options:
Of course, there was no actual decision process for what drink we all wanted to order. There were hot chocolates all round.
Cocomaya’s hot chocolate was a powerful chocolate hit. Chocolatey, thick, but not too sweet. It didn’t coat the back of the throat but slipped down blissfully smoothly. It was just like pure, liquid chocolate, which is how the best hot chocolate should be. I have to have it again. I think it might be my favourite hot choc in London so far.
Don’t miss out on some extremely good chocolatey times. Head over to Cocomaya.

Okay, these pictures pretty much left me helpless. I’m dying right now – all this chocolate looks soooo good! I’d have to choose one of the pastries though to keep up with my no chocolate New Year’s resolution, though, and I’d be fine with that – they look great, too!
Oh no! Why would you make such a terrible resolution? And surely it can be broken when presented with very fine quality chocolate? 😉
Haha it makes my face break out! I have a bittersweet relationship with chocolate…
Aww OK! Pastries are yummy too though, so there is still much food happiness to be had 🙂
oooh definitely!
