Very friendly staff who are always willing to help in deciding the best gift to choose for a loved one.

This particular outlet has a larger than expected array or chocolates to choose from when considering the size of the outlet. Chocolates are available to buy singularly or in boxes/packs.

Seasonal treats are also available such as chocolate easter bunnies and christmas related shapes. Each product can be written on with icing in a message of your choosing quickly and easily by a member of staff on the til.

Gift bags are also available which makes Thorntons one of the first places i visit when buying a present.hdhrehVery friendly staff who are always willing to help in deciding the best gift to choose for a loved one.

This is a chocolate shop for the fashion set, in two senses. First each piece is beautifully constructed with a range of exotic and subtle ingredients -- they look great! Second, each piece is really small, so if you're someone who would rather have one small taste of heaven rather than a big dose, this is perfect for you.

It's not cheap -- each piece is 1.50 or so. But the people at the shop are very friendly and will often let you try more than a few while you are there.This is a chocolate shop for the fashion set, in two senses.

Great little place. I often drop by for soup or the glass noodle salad at lunchtime. If you dine in the restaurant their dumplings and buns are exceptional.
However it always seems too quiet - I guess it's a little off the beaten track and the paddington basin neighbourhood hasn't taken off yet.
Staff are friendly food consistently good so hoping they get busier soon.Great little place. I often drop by for soup or the glass noodle salad at lunchtime. If you dine in the restaurant their dumplings and buns are exceptional.

This must be my most favourite cafe in London. First of all, the actual coffee is delicious. Secondly, I just love the place - it looks like it was furnished in 10 minutes - which is really cool, simple, old-looking tables and chairs, and funky random pictures. A place that feels creative and where you can be creative.

Never eaten there, so can't comment on the food.

The only thing I would improve is the service - It happened to me one or two times that the staff looked like they couldn't be bothered - but hey, maybe just a bad day!
