Desserts & Gelato

The sweet course as a destination: gelato and ice cream, cakes and patisserie, chocolate, and the dessert bars where pudding is the whole point. Bread and the morning are next door, in Bakeries.

Italian Bear Chocolate

Italian drinking chocolate thick enough to stand a spoon in, on Rathbone Place.

Cioccolata calda is less a drink than a warm pudding: cocoa cooked until it coats the cup, and served small because a big one would beat you. The Fitzrovia shop, a few steps off Oxford Street, does them plain and flavoured and stays open to eleven. Laptops are not allowed after half past three.
