As an avid enthusiast of desserts, I always look forward to indulging in a well-made crepe, which to me represents the pinnacle of sweet treats. It's the delicate balance of a thin, light texture with a slight crispiness that often sets a perfect crepe apart from its other pastry cousins. Unfortunately, my recent visit to Chocoberry was a departure from these expectations, leaving much to be desired.
Upon my visit, I ordered their much-raved-about specialty crepe, anticipating a delightful, airy thinness, complemented by the right amount of crisp around the edges. What I received, however, was markedly different and disappointing—a crepe that bore a striking resemblance to a pancake in both thickness and density. The essential characteristics of a classic crepe, notably its almost paper-thin delicacy and light, crisp texture, were conspicuously absent. Instead, the dish was heavy, and the thickness overwhelmed the filling, which should have been the star of the show.
The joy of eating a crepe lies in its subtle texture that should gently snap with each bite, a feature that allows the accompanying fillings or toppings to shine through—be it the simple zest of lemon and sugar or the rich decadence of chocolate and strawberries. A thick, pancake-like crepe not only deviates from this culinary art but also significantly dampens the overall dining experience.
Moreover, the density of the crepe I was served at Chocoberry suggests a deviation from the traditional technique required to achieve the light, enveloping quality of this beloved dish. It’s this mastery of technique that entices crepe lovers like myself to seek out establishments that honor the craft.
In conclusion, while Chocoberry may have a charming ambiance and a promising menu, the execution of their crepe left me underwhelmed. For fellow dessert lovers who cherish the authentic experience of a French crepe, the search continues. I hope that Chocoberry takes this feedback as an opportunity to refine their approach and embrace the artistry that truly makes a crepe exceptional. Until then, my quest for the perfect...
Read moreChocoberry Bolton, is my weekly pilgrimage of bliss where knafeh reigns supreme. My go-to order, delivered like clockwork, transforms mundane nights into divine delights. This isn’t just dessert—it’s a revelation. Consistency is Chocoberry’s creed. Every week, my knafeh arrives on time, swaddled in warmth, never once faltering through Bolton’s September chill. No delays, no mix-ups—just pure, predictable perfection that makes my heart skip. Freshness? It’s sorcery. Each box opens to steam and scents of just-baked phyllo, crisp and buttery, with molten cheese that stretches like a dream. Piping hot, it’s crafted in the moment, a love letter from the oven to your soul. The knafeh itself? Heavenly. That golden crunch cradles gooey cheese, and the toppings—oh, the toppings—steal the show. Pistachio’s nutty crunch one week, molten Belgian chocolate’s velvet kiss the next. Each spoonful, hot and heavenly, is a ticket to ecstasy, textures and flavors dancing from Bolton to paradise. It’s not dessert; it’s salvation. I’ve tasted sweets worldwide, but Chocoberry’s knafah trumps all. Order via app, play with toppings, and ascend. Five stars? Too small. This...
Read moreWriting a review on behalf of a customer ahed of me. I recently visited Chocoberry in Bolton. A couple with 2 kids were giving an order and deciding whether to pay cash or card. The guy on till shouted at customer saying hurry up I am very busy and went in the kitchen within 30 seconds. Even though I was waiting to be served next. This is not the way to speak to customer when customer comes with family they expect atleast decent service with a smile. The guy disrespect customer in front of his family. It was on around 10.40 PM on 25th October 24. I am writing date and time so management can check the camera and take action against the worker. I have been few time I was regular customer but this was my last time knowing it could be me who get served like this next time. I don't even want to give 1 start for...
