The Chocolate Museum

Fantastic birthday party!!

Brought 13 six year olds for a birthday party. They all had a really amazing time! Staff Imogen and Sophia were fantastic! Really great with the kids despite the inevitable sugar high. Highly recommended! A solid 5 stars for an awesome experience!!!!

A great time spent here this afternoon. I would advise arriving after the peak period of between 2-3:30pm to enjoy a relaxed educational experience. There are museum exhibits in the basement which give the background history of chocolate and the opportunity to participate in making your own chocolate creations. For myself and my daughter this cost £15 which was good value for money. One to recommend.

Very friendly staff, especially the manager/owner (I didn't catch the name, I'm sorry) who seems to run the place with a passion. The instructions were very clear and easy my four year old took charge and did most of the work herself. She enjoyed herself so much she wants to come back again soon and we will. The museum is small but informative and has a variety of historical exhibits on display. The best part though is taking away some yummy treats for the journey home!

Great fun to do with adults and or children. All explained and hands on. Easy to create yummy treats within a short space of time.

I was there in a working capacity as I work in a school (I am currently in year six) and I thought it was a most informative, interesting and ultimately Chocolate/Cocoa laden experience. We learned some of the Maya history of Chocolate and to make our own from Cocoa Nibs and other ingredients and to ultimately take away our own hand made Cocoa creations! Amazing.

I don't bake, so this was a unique and fun experience for me. The workshop includes shaping ganache, tempering chocolate, coating and decorating. It was overall fun. They also have an interesting and educational gallery at the basement.

Best hot chocolate ever! Super thick with no cornflour. Would be nice to have some thing to dip in it, but as my wife pointed out, you are given a spoon... The museum is limited but interesting, worth a visit. Looks like s good spot for kids parties.

Myself, my sister and my nephew all came along to this little hidden gem in Brixton today. After reading some of the reviews before attending we weren’t sure what to expect but we had such a lovely time!! The host, Craig looked after us and took us through the process patiently and gave us enough space to get on with the chocolate moulding and decorating. He was very polite and friendly. I would honestly recommend going to this little museum and taking part in the chocolate work shop. The truffles were to die for!! And my nephew loved the lollypop moulding too. Very hands on and some informative information downstairs too if you’re interested. 10 out of 10 from us three, thanks!! :)

I booked my wife and I on to the chocolate making class a few Saturdays ago and we both had a great time. It was 3 hours of almost non-stop information and chocolate making and it never felt as though the instructor was just trying to fill time or skimp on ingredients.

We both went away with a lot of chocolate (which we're still working our way through) and really enjoyed it. If you're looking for a chocolate making class then definitely go here rather than somewhere like Hotel Chocolat - it's local, better value and the chocolate is amazing.

Had a fabulous time with four 9 year old girls doing a drop-in truffle making session on a Sunday morning. Supervised by (charming and informative) Chiara, who was great with children, we made gorgeous truffles and lollipops. Thanks for the brilliant experience.

Attended the 3 hour truffle making workshop. Had a fantastic time, very enjoyable and tasty! We learnt about the history of cocoa and how to make ganache and tempered chocolate (with some tasting along the way). We made a lot of chocolates which we could take home. Overall the staff were fantastic, gave great teaching without being overbearing, and it was definitely worth the money.

We have just spent this morning at the Chocolate Museum workshop making truffles and learning all about tempering chocolate. We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience and took home our delicious chocolates 🍫 Really great experience and fun way to spend some quality half term time with my 14 year olds.

My daughter and I had a great time making our chocolates in the workshop. And they were delicious too. Very friendly lady who runs the workshop

Great place to bring kids and to make your own sweeties

The Chocolate Museum is a real and hidden gem of the colourful and vibrant Brixton neighbourhood.
This independent museum established here in 2013 and its collection consists of a range of objects and memorabilia acquired over many years from different merchants and collectors.

Here you'll find a range of ethically sourced chocolates produced by independent bean-to-bar makers and focus on single origins chocolate bars, from Ghana, to Ivory Coast, to Ecuador, to Venezuela that blend fruits, spices and herbs.

What I also really love about this place is the programme of workshops offered for families as well as for schools, or special occasions where you will learn many things about cocoa and how to make chocolate out of it.

In addition to this, my 5 stars go to the lovely and professional ladies running this unexpected and tasty chocolate museum.

It's not certainly Willy Wonka's chocolate factory but when you're able to make your own delicious bonbons it feels like a magical afternoon. A great place to go with curious children as my nieces and nephews are

Went for a workshop on the Mayans- really interesting. Learnt about the process of bean to bar and then got to make our own (dark) chocolate. Good for a school trip with Upper KS2.

We did a Workshop. Very interesting, informative, fun, nice bunch of people, sociable, delicious, lots to take home. Quite messy, like play group for chocaholics!

Had a great time today, interesting and funny. Thank you for a good time x

When you take a sip of the best hot chocolate you’ve had in London, one that’s the perfect thickness thus tasting of real chocolate, but not too thick to leave you feeling sick, it’s easy to see why such an experience leads to a subsequent write up...
