- Location: 332 Ladbroke Grove
- Flavours tried: Hazelnut & Gianduja Cookies, Triple Chocolate Cookies, Butterscotch & Dark Chocolate Cookies (Vegan), Pecan & Dulcey Caramel
If there was ever a time to take the Lord’s name in vain, it’s after taking a bite out of a cookie by the angels over at Le Choux. I tried a bite of every flavour and was delightfully surprised at the uniformness of gooey yet structurally intact, soft and slightly crispy texture across the board.
The triple chocolate was a bit indulgent even for me, but the hazelnut and gianduja option made me feel like I was in Italy and had me longing for a freshly pulled double espresso. I could hardly tell the difference between the vegan dark chocolate flavour, and the non-vegan chocolate option.
Though they’re technically best eaten warm (if you want molten pockets of melted goodness), I was surprised by how delicious they were fresh out the box. They also kept beautifully over the weekend without the need to be heated up.

Le Choux isn’t following the stacked NYC-style cookie trend, its chocolatey creations are lighter and moreish – and we challenge you to just eat one. From the very first bite, the Ladbroke Grove-based baked goods prove to be a premium treat made from high-quality ingredients – especially if you happen to reach for the Pecan & Dulcey Caramelised White Chocolate, the most striking in the bunch.
These are the kind of cookies you should be bringing to a dinner party for delight guaranteed. The irresistible offering is style and substance combined.
