Glasgow offers an array of spots for chocolate lovers to explore. From Italian trattorias to cosy tea rooms and cafes, the city is brimming with places that serve up some of the most delectable chocolate-infused treats. Here’s a guide to some of Glasgow’s top destinations for those with a penchant for cocoa!

Italian eatery Eusebi Deli isn’t just about pasta and pizza; it’s a haven for dessert aficionados. The highlight? Their chocolate and cherry sundae, a decadent blend of vanilla gelato, amarena cherries, and luscious chocolate. For tiramisu lovers, Eusebi’s rendition of this classic dessert is a must-try, offering a perfect balance of coffee, mascarpone, and cocoa flavours. Even their brunch menu includes chocolatey treats, not least their blackberry, apple and cacao bircher, which makes for a sublime start to the day. And for those craving something crispy and sweet, their chocolate-filled cannoli are great with coffee.
The Kelvingrove Cafe is a smart and sophisticated spot for anyone in the mood for chocolate. Their delicate hazelnut and chocolate sfogliatella (a flaky and buttery cone-shaped Italian pastry) are a standout, rich and satisfying. They pair perfectly with the cafe’s smooth and creamy hot chocolate!

Tucked away in trendy Finnieston, Hidden Lane Tea Room is a gem for those in search of comfort food. Their Belgian waffle, generously topped with Nutella, fresh off the griddle, is a crowd-pleaser. The tearoom also showcases a tempting selection of fresh bakes, including gooey brownies and a rich chocolate cake that’s the epitome of indulgence. Pair these with their expertly crafted hot chocolate, and you’ve found the perfect spot for a sweet escape.
Wee Paree stands out with its selection of French-inspired chocolate treats. At brunch time you can find everything from moreish croissants filled with Nutella and fresh strawberries to homemade crepes with chocolate sauce and banana. Their chocolate brownie (topped with a zingy fruit coulis) is an after dinner must!
Cafe Source Too is well-loved for its welcoming, family-friendly ambience and generous portion sizes. The salted caramel brownie, served with vanilla ice cream, strikes a perfect balance between sweet and salty, and their chocolate ice cream (topped off with a Belgian chocolate drizzle!) is some of the best in the city. Coffee aficionados will love their mocha — a rich blend of coffee and chocolate — and kids will go crazy for their deluxe hot chocolate, complete with a mountain of whipped cream and marshmallows.
