This little store sells high quality chocolates & nuts imported straight from Greece(most of them are either vegan, vegetarian or gluten free). A bit on the pricey side but you pay for the quality and they always offer free samples if you cant decide what you would like to buy. Their normal espresso drinks aren’t that great(cappuccino, flat whites etc) and there are much better shops around the area for those. But what they do the best here is their ice coffee(the only shop in the area that does fredo cappuccinos, fredo espresso, greek frapes) & of course their greek/turkish coffee. The only thing to remember is to specify how sweet you would like your drink as all of their speciality coffee drinks you need to add the sugar during the preparation not after the drink is served.

This review is for the karak tea, which they advertise outside. I was intrigued and got some as a take-away. As far as I know, karak tea is beloved in Qatar, where they tried to make their own version of Indian tea and karak is meant to be very milky and sweet. The one I got here was okay. They took their time to make it and I’m sure they put in some effort, but even with the spices, it was a very thinly flavoured tea and nothing like as good as Indian tea. The shop itself looks amazing though, with so many tempting treats around. I will probably be back to try something else because I can’t resist.

PHENOMINAL vegan chocolates! And to top it off, vegan options galore. Prices are higher, but I guarantee you, the soft vegan chocolate is well worth the price.

Lovely Greek chocolatier and nuts place. The staff are very friendly and passionate about their product. The iced coffee was to die for. So so scrummy!

Nice shop, with beautiful displays of chocolate and nuts. The employees were polite and helpful. On the down side, I tried my first Greek coffee here, and unfortunately I’m not a fan. The smell is acrid, almost burnt. The flavor of the coffee is dominated by the sugar added, so the taste is initially very sweet, then falls off to a sour/bitter finish. I’m not sure, but the coffee«powder»(grinds) might be a blend of Arabica and Robusta, and Robusta just doesn’t agree with my palate. Next time I’ll try a standard flat white and see if I like their espresso better, but for now I’m giving the shop 4 stars and the coffee 2, for an average of 3.

Carpo est un paradis pour les amoureux des noix, graines et autres fruits secs, sans compter le chocolat et le café. Le point fort de cette boutique en dehors du choix et de la qualité des produits est le professionnalisme de ses vendeurs: ils connaissent leurs produits sur le bout de la langue, ils vous en parlent avec passion et vous font GOUTER les produits. Mais attention, après avoir gouté… impossible de né pas acheter tellement c’est bon. Une seule frustration peut-être? Pourquoi né sont-ils pas à Paris??? Londres c’est bien mais c’est un peu loin.

Coming straight from Greece, the new shop in London is Carpo. Carpos in Greek means nut. It is small, but cosy, and you can sit inside and outside. It offers coffee, chockolates and nuts/dried fruit, and most likely you will be offered a free sample of their chockolates — we got the dark one unfortunately :(:( You will hear people speaking English, and of course Greek! But what I reckon, and so much love is that you can find Freddo Cappuccino! You should try it and you will remember me writing these words ;) The best coffee in the whole world! try the strips of dries banana… OMG they were nice and gone withing 10 minutes of purchasing a whole packet…

I don’t know how I never knew about this place before now. I happened to stumble upon it on a walk up towards Picadilly. What caught my eye was the sign saying«Nuts, Chocolate, Coffee», my favourite things: D The chocolate on display inside was something amazing. The sweet smells of dried fruit and rich chocolate. I was in heaven. And just as I thought things wouldn’t get better, I was offered FREESAMPLES!!! The staff are super friendly, and the chocolate tasted amazing. I love the way you can see what you’re buying and watch it be packaged up. Definitley going to head back here to sample the coffee next time.

Their sign says ‘Nuts, chocolate, coffee’. Well. 2 out of 3 isn’t bad — I don’t drink coffee! The interior is classy as befits its position on Piccadilly. They pile their tempting produce up hiugh and are forthcoming with samples I have a weakness for nuts and their roasted macadamia nuts are now part of my Christmas treat box

Amazing. I could have spent all day in this place, however my hubby isn’t much of a shopper so we made a couple quick purchases. We got a mixed bag of dried fruits, the pineapple in particular being amazing. We also picked up chocolate covered almonds or something like that. I don’t remember exactly, but I do remember consuming them rather quickly. I really wish we would have spent more time and bought more items, but hopefully that wasn’t our one and only trip to London and we can return. Would be so cool to order online!

I love everything about this place. Terrific coffee(try the Greek! Or Fredo cappuccino on a hot day), awesome fruits, nuts and chocolate and an overall great vibe. Oh, did I mention it’s right down the street from my flat. I have found my new regular spot!!!

Just go in to enjoy the beauty of the place and to sample the goods. Buckets of interesting chocolates, nuts, fascinating dried fruits(I had a sugar infused Greek lemon with the peel on – amazing) and towers of coffee. The service is spectacular, friendly and no pressure. A great place to buy gifts. A few seats to sit down and enjoy a tea or coffee and the ambiance of fine specialty foods.

This place is super-cute! Happened to be wandering by and saw stacks and stacks of chocolate as well as buckets full of nuts. It’s a really cute family run store — but v high end. Would totally have spent megabucks but they were very generous with samples and I’d just spent £16 next door at the Meridien’s pop-up shop run by my friend Aneesh the-chocolatier( ) Anyways, I tried the strawberry dark choc and the nuts in dark choc. Mmm. Thinking about it makes me want more! Deffo recco x
