Zara's Chocolates 

Found at 228 North Street – half chocolate shop, half florist – is a beautiful addition to the thriving independent community, here you can see Zara and fellow chocolatier, Helen, hand-crafting truffles and a whole range of tempting treats. The combination of Zara’s Chocolates and Ivory Flowers under one roof creates a wonderfully visual and fragrant sensation - what could be more indulgent or express more love than chocolates and flowers?
