A sell out Saturday for Chocolate Covered Strawberries in the North East

July 2025 has been a whirlwind for us at La Chocolatrice. After months of planning we finally unveiled our very own chocolate covered strawberries to our loyal fans across the North East, and the response has been nothing short of incredible.

When we opened our doors at 10 a.m. last Saturday there was already a queue forming outside our chocolate factory in Coxhoe. Within minutes our new chocolate covered strawberries North East launch had sold out. To keep everyone happy we restocked as quickly as we could, but by 1 p.m. every last strawberry had been dipped, drizzled and devoured. We were completely blown away by the buzz and by the number of people who travelled from Durham, Newcastle and beyond to taste our latest creation.

We just want to say thank you. The excitement and support from our community made this day unforgettable. Seeing everyone share photos on social media and reading your kind messages has warmed our hearts and fuelled our passion to bring even more handcrafted treats to the North East.

What makes our chocolate covered strawberries special?

Premium chocolate:

Each strawberry is hand-dipped in our own milk, dark or white chocolate, made using the finest ingredients.

Pistachio chocolate covered strawberries

quickly became a favourite last weekend. A swirl of pistachio cream adds a nutty richness that pairs beautifully with the sweet fruit and silky chocolate. If you’re searching for pistachio chocolate covered strawberries in the North East, you’ve found them in Coxhoe.
