I am the type of person who could eat dessert all day and still crave for more; yes I am a big sweet tooth! They say something’s are worth getting diabetes for and I would still run to Chocoholics’s for my chocolate fix! Indeed a chocolate heaven, the name does the justice! If you’re a chocoholic or you like chocolate because come on who doesn’t; then the ideal place to visit is to head towards Havelock Road where you can find them on the main road! Chocoholics’s is a café that started back in December 2017, big thanks to the owner as he brought my chocolate dreams to life! They serve a large variety of dishes with the main concept of chocolate being signature; let me warn you they aren’t any normal boring chocolate, this is drool worthy, insta feed famous and tongue tickling good dishes! From the chocolate crepes, waffles, pancakes, chocolate sushi and the list go on!
Ambience
From the outside it looks very dainty; but be aware as looks could be deceiving they say! Its two stores and pretty spacious, more than 40 diners can be accommodated in one serving! The very chic interior with a theme of chocolate quoted frames and the sweet aroma around makes me adore this place more! The elegant hanging lights and the dark brown walls craft a perfect ambience to snap a picture for your social media. It’s very cozy and family friendly too!
Service
Well trained staff is another bonus to this place. After a conversation with the staff, I was more than impressed about their knowledge of the menu! They were fluent with the dishes and making suggestions according to our preferences. The food arrived really fast specially in comparison to other places. They have an open kitchen that is very well maintained and a delight to watch.
Food
The menu offers a wide variety for you to choose from and the pictures used in the menu are surprisingly the same when you receive it! The proportions are huge making it reasonable and light on your wallet! We started off with fettuccine inspired crepe which came with a huge dollop of ice cream and was completely drizzled in chocolate; this was a very interesting dish and not something that you commonly find. The crepe was sliced into strips and drizzled with the right ratio of chocolate and crepe. The ice-cream was an additional delight and made every bite more tasty.
Moving onto the chocolate viennois; it looked exactly like a mug of fancy chocolate drink with marshmallow toppings that you see in the Hollywood movies! Well it tasted just as good as it looked; it was loaded with whipped cream, marshmallows and chocolate syrup which worked wonders with the hot chocolate! That’s one drink that you want to grab seconds.
Mixed fruit pancake was a serving of a stack of pancakes, drenched in fine high quality chocolate and a side of grapes, strawberries and banana. Honestly how do I credit this place even more for presentation, they are on their ‘A’ game and the desserts a bit too cute to even cut into it. As elegant as it looked, the taste was just as good! Fluffy and soft, the sweetness from the chocolate and the tanginess from the fruits are an ideal combination.
I am not the biggest strawberry fan but I think Chocoholics just changed that after I tried their strawberry and cream cheese milkshake. That was definitely not your average milkshake; it was a punchy blend of fresh strawberries and a generous amount of cream cheese and I am not complaining. I simply loved it!
Lastly the best and my personal favorite dish; chocoholic’s classic it’s a serving of classic waffles filled with strawberries, drizzled with chocolate sauces, vanilla ice cream and a chocolate shot! I have heard a lot of this particular dish but really wanted to see what the hype was about and was it all worth it? It was and I am already planning my next visit. The waffles were very crunchy having the perfect texture and the sourness from the strawberries was balanced beautifully with the addition of ice cream and the extra chocolate shot. The flavors were spot on and not over powering; each element of the dish complimented the other well.
Now you know where to head to get your chocolate fix, pay a visit and I promise it’s worth it. Indulge in chocolate!
