Walking into the latest choc-atelier, Cocomaya, is a bit like stepping onto the set of the film Chocolat, if Alexander McQueen had been the art director. Antique mirrors nudge up to glossy pink cabinets displaying shoes, insects, violins and other extraordinary objects - all made of chocolate, of course. Better yet, you can take a bit of chic home with you, as the single estate delicacies are presented, jewel-like, in pink, green and turquoise boxes.

Such is the swishness, it's no surprise to learn that the trio behind this shrine to cocoa have more than their fair share of classy credentials. Gail Mejia founded Baker & Spice, Joel Bernstein used to be Head of Concept at Liberty and Walid Al-Damirji is a respected (formerly fashion, now accessories) designer.
