Thorntons

When I think of the chocolate that you buy from the Thornton’s chocolate shop I think of silky smooth chocolate that is creamy and soft and that melts in your mouth. All of which makes it continuously addictive and it is lusciously comforting.
The chocolate is so neatly created and uniquely made for gorgeous Easter egg gifts and Christmas presents and birthday treats. I particularly love the small chocolate pigs with a soft; creamy, strawberry, bubbly centre that makes it even more addictive and delicious. All for a cheap price that is under a one pound.
Then there is another linked item that I simply adore; a lovely, flat chocolate bar, which is beautifully decorated with pink, strawberry icing and which tastes of associated taste like the small, pink bubbly pig does. It tastes of strawberry flavour and of the Thornton’s chocolate. This is less than two pounds. There are few other flavours of animals and bars of similar kinds of Thornton’s chocolate products with similar themes.
They have flat Thornton’s chocolate that can have writing of sugar, flavoured, icing of your own choice as to what the message may say for your chosen loved one to give it too. I have often bought this and I think its price is under or around five pounds in price.
The staff are friendly and helpful and the shop is creatively presented and attractive. This loveable chocolate shop is very addictive and has many more chocolate products from its own company.
So I do recommend it to all…

I do not like Thorntons as a brand. I know. That sounds weird. How can anyone really dislike a chocolate brand? Well, I find that Thorntons chocolate is quite slimy — in the same way that Galaxy is. (No, I do not like Galaxy either.) So, it was only as a last resort that I went into this shop to find a present for my mum. I don’t know why I thought that would be the place to go, as my mum doesn’t like Galaxy (and by my logical extension, Thorntons) either. In the end I didn’t buy anything. I didn’t think that the quality of the chocolate warranted the prices, when so many independent chocolatiers offer much better for about the same price. Also, I wish I’d been in there the day that Jamie was because then I might have been served by someone who wasn’t surly and sullen…

A son in need goes to Thortons indeed. For Mother’s day at least. I got mama M. a lovely chocolate box that the very helpful staff personalised for me. Mama loved it, I had a nibble and it tasted great.
So you pay for the packaging and brand name when you walk in, but as far as pleasant experiences go, you can’t beat this Thortons. The St. Davids branch employees are probably one of the most genuine and friendly staff I’ve encountered in any shop.
