Jaz and Jul’s
Address: 1 Chapel Market, London, N1 9EZ
Jaz and Jul’s Chocolate House in Islington is a chocoholic heaven serving up a sweet and savoury treats, including a bottomless brunch with unlimited refills of hot cocoa.
The weekend chocolate brunch menu offers a chocolatey twist to a range of sweet and savoury vegetarian and vegan dishes. You choose one savoury, one sweet and one extra , accompanied with unlimited cocoa (£20) or prosecco (£30) if you fancy some bubbles!
From the savoury dishes, the cornbread waffles topped with beer-battered mushrooms and spinach caught my eye – with a fried egg from the “extras” to be extra indulgent!
I was not disappointed. I’m not usually a fan of savoury waffles, because I have an extremely sweet tooth, but the mushrooms soaked in beer sounded interesting and my intrigue was satisfied. The cornbread waffles were crispy yet fluffy, and perfectly served!
For my second course (and to satisfy my sweet tooth) I had the Pimped Banana Bread served with heaped yoghurt, seasonal fruits and of course indulgent chocolate sauce.
Oh wow – it was soo chocolatey! The sauce oozed off the plate…
All of the ingredients in their chocolate concoctions are made from single-origin chocolate, carefully sourced from producers that only use ethically-sourced ingredients.
The cocoa can be served vegan-friendly and optionally dairy-free,with a range of almond, oatmeal, soya milk on offer to meet all requirements. The team uses naturally flavoured chocolate from Madagascar, accompanied with spices & fruit oils.
The titles are enticing – my favourites were the Orangeytang (which has orange, cardamom & cloves) and Mintchievous (peppermint). The brunch offers unlimited cocoa drinks, so you can sample them all – topped with artisan marshmallows for extra luxury!
