Aleksandra's Chocolate Cafe

Aleksandra's is a chocolate cafe and shop in Bridport, close to the Jurassic Coast, combining a working chocolate workshop with a small cosy cafe. Handmade Belgian truffles and novelties are made on site using couverture chocolate, and customers can often watch the process from their table while they wait for a coffee - regularly named among the best in Bridport by regulars.

The shop side covers chocolate parties, wedding favours and gifts built around the handmade truffles, while the cafe menu runs to sandwiches, a spicy chilli pot and homemade brownies with a local reputation of their own. Produce is sourced locally where possible, and the seating is small and relaxed rather than a large dining room, suited to a coffee and a slice of cake rather than a full meal.
