What Katherineawaits doesn't like about 1657 Chocolate House:
Disappointing three choice of cakes and some tray bakes, with a limited choice of drinks only. Hot chocolate had bearly any flavour, cakes were manufactured elsewhere, but were very nice. Such as shame as it could be so much better with a little expansion of the menu and attention to detail of the chocolate, as after all this is what they are advertising from the outside if the cafe!

This really is the best chocolate ever! Knocks spots of its major brand competitors, just excellent quality chocolates with so much choice. It is the only place I buy from now for gifts….and myself . View all feedback.

A popular chocolate house in Kendal seems to be a mixed bag of reviews, with some customers expressing disappointment in the limited menu options and quality of drinks and cakes. Critical reviews highlight issues with customer service and product quality, while positive reviews praise the extensive selection of high-quality chocolates and charming ambiance of the tea room. Despite some drawbacks, it seems that the 1657 Chocolate House remains a favorite for some loyal customers, making it a recommended spot for chocolate lovers in the area.
