I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur as far as chocolates are concerned and am very picky when it comes to wanting... something 'a bit special'.I was impressed that I could choose the individual chocolates I wanted on CoastalCocoa's website and the resulting sample box of 12 did not disappoint. They were well packaged, well presented and arrived promptly. The chocolates themselves were delicious and had real flavour. I will definitely be ordering again!read more

We’ve finally gotten around to having our Death Star Hot Chocolate Bombs and they were AMAZING! I didn’t get a chance... to get a pic/video pre/during milk pour as we were far too excited to watch them melt. I hadn’t told my boyfriend’s son what was in the centre, so it was fab to hear his “wow!! Marshmallows!!” excited exclamation! Thank you so much - they were were very lovely and we can’t wait to get more treats from you!read more

A wonderful afternoon spent with friends. The experience was a birthday gift. We learned a bit about some of the decadent chocolates and truffles that Coastal Coco make, whilst tasting and making our own, not forgetting the all important temperatures! We had such a lovely time. My truffles may not have looked as beautiful as the ones for sale, wonky is more like it, but they taste DIVINE!! Thanks to James for being such a good tutor with great humour and patience 😄

The last two Christmases I’ve ordered chocolates on-line from Canada for my son in Hastings, who described them as the best he has ever tasted. The website and selection is amazing, ordering and payment were seamless and free local delivery. You have a great operation there, James, and I hope to visit it myself before too long, so wish you continued success.

... and from our corporate clients
I can’t recommend Coastal Cocoa enough for your custom order needs. I am a freelancer and I like to show appreciation for the clients who have engaged my services over the course of the year. My December was busy and I was struggling for time to manage my usual sending of cards and gifts – it was Coastal Cocoa to the rescue! I fell in love with their seaside chocolates (living in Brighton, I do love a seaside themed gift) and I asked the friendly folks there for suggestions on how I could package and send their chocolates. They suggested that I write my cards, send them the cards and client addresses, they then boxed up and sent all the chocolates out with a card in time for pre-Christmas arrival. I really appreciated the solution so I could focus on my work.
Here’s some of the feedback I got:
- Happy Christmas Trevor, thanks for the chocolates, they were fabulous! Looking forward to working together next year!
- Thank you for the lovely chocolates! Coca-Cola ones were my favourite! I loved the popping candy – caught me by surprise
- Thank you very much for the chocolates, that was so kind of you. They have gone down very well in the office 🙂
