About Mrs. Potts Chocolate House

On Park St in Bristol, Mrs. Potts Chocolate House is a cafe built around chocolate desserts, hot chocolates, milkshakes, coffee and tea. Cakes arrive with a choice of chocolate drizzle flavours poured on top, and the hot chocolate can be ordered with marshmallow fluff added. Recurring items include the salted caramel pretzel cupcake, Matilda chocolate cake, and Brownie Sundae, alongside vegan brownies and cookies. Seating is limited and can fill up, with customers sometimes waiting for a table to free up. Milkshakes ordered to eat in have been served in plastic cups with lids. Dogs are welcome inside.

Customer Review Summary

The Matilda chocolate cake draws repeated praise, with reviewers noting the choice of three different chocolate drizzles, alongside the 72% hot chocolate described as thick and decadent and the Brownie Sundae. Close behind, the salted caramel pretzel cupcake and various brownies and cookies also earn mentions. Several longtime visitors report a real shift though: one describes the cookie sandwich ganache changing from dark to a sparingly used milk chocolate and the branded takeaway boxes disappearing, while another notes a coffee and slice of cake now costing eleven pounds, cutting visits down to once a year. A parent objects to a child's milkshake being served in a plastic cup with a lid and a dirty table, and one reviewer describes an unfriendly staff interaction around 6 to 7pm that soured the visit. Others mention a relaxed atmosphere, though one calls it noisier than preferred, and one found a dessert too sweet despite loving the hot chocolate.

    “I have been coming here for years, have seen lots of price hikes and much smaller portions over the years as to be expected with inflation however in my recent visit I have now noticed ingredients changes, cookie sandwich ganache has now changed and is more of a milk chocolate rather than a dark ganache, also used very sparingly and presentation no where near standard as previously was. Branded takeaway boxes have also now been removed. It’s one thing to put up costs and reduce portion sizes but now to change the products themselves is a real shame and I probably wouldn’t make the trip to purchase them anymore. Real shame as this was always my favourite treat”

    “The cakes and hot chocolates were tasty. However, I was very disapointed, in this day and age, that my son was served his milkshake (to eat in) in a plastic cup with a plastic lid. Additionally, our table was dirty. Please stop using single-use plastics. At the prices you are charging, I'm sure there is sufficient to cover the cost of washing up glasses.”

    “The Matilda chocolate cake is delicious. You can choose from three different chocolate drizzles. Nice variety of pastries and drinks. Plenty of space to sit.”

    “Didn't enjoy my experience today. The staff working around 6pm - 7pm are not friendly, made me feel bad for asking for suggestions. She didn't advise me nicely about what is good compared to my experience in Cardiff branch. The vibe is off as well. Won't be coming again”

    “The 72% hot chocolate was thick and decadent and also super balanced for being dark chocolate. The dessert tasted too sweet and sugary so I wasn't a fan, but still 5 stars for the hot chocolate and the little chocolate treat that comes with it!”
