The 1657 Chocolate House, Kendal is believed to have been built in the 1630’s, originally as a private home. Long before it became a Lake District tourist attraction the Chocolate House has been a bakery, an antiques shop, a travel agent and a ladies fashion shop. It is now a luxury chocolate shop with a traditional tea room.As many of our English traditions are fast disappearing, we are committed to retaining a few of the best from the 1600’s. Many of our speciality chocolate drinks and gateaux have names that relate to that era or are connected to the discovery of chocolate such as Nell Gwynne & Countess Castlemaine (Charles II Mistresses) , Cortez (Spanish conqueror or the Aztecs) and Cromwell's Downfall.In addition to our shop, where you can hand pick your chocolate selection, you can send or receive our chocolate gifts by post via our online ordering facility. Our dedicated staff carefully pack your selection, with the same personal touch to ensure they are the perfect gift from the Heart of the Lake District.
