HOTEL Chocolat is set to open its first store in the Bradford district next week.

The luxury chocolatier opens at 4 Brook Street in Ilkley on Monday, September 30.

The store has space for 20 customers. 

A spokesperson for Hotel Chocolat said: "Opening on Monday 30th September, this cacao-inspired cafe will feature an array of entirely new bakes and savoury recipes created in-house by Hotel Chocolat's expert development chef, David Demaison.

"These delicious treats are based on dishes from the renowned restaurant at Hotel Chocolat's cacao farm in Saint Lucia and are inspired by the brand's exquisite chocolate range.

"The new Café Collection promises a decadent experience for those looking to pair their Velvetised drink with a delicious treat.

"For those eager to be the first through the doors, Hotel Chocolat will be offering surprise and delight moments to customers who make a purchase on opening day.

"Additionally, VIP.ME members, the chocolatier’s free-to-join loyalty club, will enjoy 20 per cent off purchases from the Velvetiser Café during the launch event."

The store opens Monday to Friday 7am to 6.30pm, Saturday 7.30am to 6.30pm and Sunday 8am to 6pm.
