The No. 1 Chocolate Factory

It’s fair to say The Chocolate Factory has an agenda. Inside the ground floor of the Charing Cross tenement you’ll find a café, a shop, and a chocolate workshop that runs tasty, foolproof sessions for kids, and master classes for those keen to explore the ways of the chocolatier.

The Chocolate Factory boasts one of the best smelling café’s in Glasgow – a delicious blend of roasted coffee beans, freshly-baked cakes and hot cocoa. Everything on offer is fresh, rich and generous, with a good savoury selection for those lacking a sweet tooth (the goats cheese and caramelised onion Panini is very special indeed). More delights await you in the shop, which sells everything from extravagant presents for special occasions to little pick-me-ups to munch on the walk home.
