Cocomelt Soho puts a chocolate twist on Pancake Day with inventive crepes and desserts

Londoners seeking different ways to celebrate Pancake Day on 17^th February will find a variety of options at Cocomelt, the dessert café with a chocolate-based menu. They’re offering a range of pancakes and crepes, both in-store and for delivery throughout London, perfect for those who would rather avoid making pancakes at home. 

Cocomelt takes an inventive approach to classic desserts, particularly during events like this one. Their selection features items such as traditional crepes, mini pancakes and a dish called the Sushi Crepe, all served with Belgian chocolate and various toppings. The Sushi Crepe (£11), presented with chopsticks, is described as a freshly made crepe rolled and filled with ingredients like banana, brownies and strawberries, then sliced into pieces resembling sushi and finished with a drizzle of chocolate. An extra pot for dipping is also provided, maximising the decadent experience.

In addition to the special crepe, Cocomelt offers a range of more conventional versions, starting from £8, with banana, strawberry, brownie, Lotus Biscoff and more. These are served with Belgian chocolate from the venue’s chocolate fountains. For those looking for a smaller portion, mini pancakes (£8) are also available, with more Belgian chocolate and the option of a platter of 50 pieces for £45, intended for sharing.

The café’s menu follows a trend occurring in London’s food scene where kitchens reinterpret traditional dishes with new ingredients and presentations. The focus on chocolate and playful formats like the Sushi Crepe appeals to both the old guard and those keen to try novel takes on classic desserts. And chocolate is at the heart of every thing they do – or, as the team said, “This Pancake Day, Cocomelt is proving that chocolate is the ultimate topping for any celebration”.
