This young chocolatier has worked with the best in the business and still advises and supplies chefs including Marco Pierre White, Pierre Koffman and Anton Edelman. This shop is his solo venture and the chocolate goodies in there are very, very good. It's rare for a chocolatier to be singled out by the Chocolate Society in the first year of business but Curley is definitely worth the hype. The late opening makes it an excellent place to snap up a gift at the last minute, and the hand-drawn patterns on each piece lend their selection boxes a personal touch. The shop also includes an eat-in pattiserie.
