Williams Sonoma Vanilla Bean coffee sauce

Do you know, this has been sitting in my "draft" post for three years now?!?!  We bought a bottle of this from Harrods back in 2018...... if memory serves, it cost about £14.  And I remember it as being spectacularly faberooni!!!  A spoonful in coffee is wonderful - I can imagine it would work in hot chocolate and on icecream too!  I shall investigate where to buy this stuff and update later, but in the meantime, if you see this, get some!  You won't regret it!!!!!

Williams Sonoma Chocolate Mocha coffee syrup

This 251 ml bottle of chocolate mocha coffee syrup was bought from Harrods food halls, and priced at £14, so rather pricey.  It can be used over icecream or in cockftails but also a teaspoon can go in your mug of coffee or hot chocolate as a luxurious booster - and boy, is it luxurious!!!  It's DEFINITELY worth the money!!!

This doesn't seem to be listed on the Harrods website, despite it being on the shelves in their food halls.  Harrods also stock Hazelnut flavour and another flavour too (Vanilla???) but I have found it listed on this American website HERE for US$12.95

If you see it available elsewhere, let me know and I'll update here.

Harrods No 20 Traditional Coffee

This is a lovely coffee, using Colombian and Kenyan coffee beans.  Not quite as nice as the Founders Choice blend (which unfortunately Harrods no longer sells) but still a good coffee!
It comes in very snazzy storage tins and sells for £13.00 for 250g.  It can be bought at the Brompton Road store and online here

Harrods Mango Chutney

This Mango Chutney comes in a 230g glass pot and sells for £4.25 a jar.  This stuff is truly YUMTASTIC!!!  The chutney is wonderfully Mango-y but with a lovely little kick from ginger, cayenne pepper and chilli powder.  It also contains garlic, cumin seed, fenugreek and nigella seeds.  You won't regret tasting this stuff!!!
It can only be purchased in the Harrods store food halls (meat/poultry hall) as it is not listed on their website.  (unsure about availability at airport stores)

Harrods caramelised onion relish

This relish is rather yummy - and it goes very well with Scotch eggs!!!  (boiled egg inside pork meat, breaded and - I think - deep fried).  It costs £3.95 for a 220g jar and is available in the Brompton Road store and online at the Harrods website here Caramlised onion which also lists the ingredients.  If ordering from outside the UK, you'll need to check the import duty, if any.  But it's scrumptious!!!

Harrods Praline hot chocolate

Harrods have now rebranded their hot chocolate range (as of early 2017) and at the time of writing have two flavours - this one being the Praline.  It comes in 300g bags within a copper coloured container, priced at £12 a tin.  The Praline makes a good flavour, although not as nice as their previous range of flavours (salted caramel, hazelnut, mocha).  But it's still a VERY good chocolate - made with hot milk, not the instant type, with either one or two heaped teaspoons of the chocolate mix.
This is available in their Brompton Road store in London and online HERE and presumably through their airport duty free shops at some point.

Harrods Signature blend coffee


This is the last of four Harrods coffee that I've tried - coming in similar tins to the hot chocolate range but a slightly larger 250g metallic tin.  It's a medium roast 100% pure arabica coffee from Ethopia and El Salvador.  It has a very smooth taste and not the blatantly strong and bitter "coffee caffeine" taste that you can get with regular supermarket brands.  I'd describe this as a "light" coffee and rate it a close second to the Founders Choice coffee.  It's priced at £12.95 a tin and available by mail order from the Harrods website here Signature blend coffee

Harrods Brompton Blend coffee.

This is another of Harrods' ground coffee's, made with Indonesian, Costa Rican, Colombian and Indian coffees and is the more "unusual" tasting coffee.  The blurb on the tin says it gives a brown sugar taste with a hint of spice....... it reminds me of a similar taste to the Muscovado brown sugar, possibly in the black treacle-y taste group.  If you don't particularly like Muscovado sugar/black treacle, this may not be your coffee!!!  The blurb on the tin also says it has a lingering aftertaste too, which I'd agree with.  It's not a horrid coffee, but I wouldn't make it every day either - I think it's more of an acquired taste, once in a while coffee.
It costs £12.95 per 250g tin and can be ordered online here Brompton blend

Harrods Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate drink.

This is, so far, my favourite hot chocolate drink.  This comes in a very smart metallic blue tin and contains 200g of hot chocolate powder.  The instructions on the back say to use 4 heaped teaspoons, but you can get away with using one heaped teaspoon of powder and still have a very flavoursome hot chocolate drink.  As with the other Harrods hot chocolates, this is priced at £9.95 per tin and is no longer available online or in store due to rebranding (As of March 2017)

However, they do have a Sea salted Caramel hot chocolate, 300g, in a copper tin priced at £12 available online HERE and also in store

Harrods Founders Choice coffee



This coffee is so far my favourite of the Harrods coffees!  It comes in a shiny brown 250g tin similar to their Hazelnut chocolate tin - possible logic to that too, as this coffee has a very smooth chocolatey type flavour.  The info on the back of the tin says it has a nutty chocolate flavour although the nutty side is not blatantly obvious!  This coffee uses a Costa Rican and Kenyan mix, and is VERY yummy!
It can be purchased online from the Harrods website for £12.95 a tin here Founders Choice

Harrods Knightsbridge blend coffee

This is the first out of four Harrods coffee that I've tried - coming in similar tins to the hot chocolate range but a slightly larger 250g metallic tin.  It's a medium roast 100% pure arabica coffee from Ethopia and Columbia.  It has a slight "juicy fruity" taste to it - not nasty, but not the blatant strong "coffee caffeine" taste that you can get with regular supermarket brands.  I'd describe this as a "light" coffee - not strong but very smooth and enjoyable.  It's priced at £12.95 a tin and available by mail order from the Harrods website here Knightsbridge blend

Harrods Hazelnut Hot Chocolate drink

This is another of the Harrods powdered hot chocolate drink, presented in a metallic brown tin and priced at £9.95.  Again, despite instructions on the tin, only one heaped teaspoon of the powder is enough to make a really yummy mug-ful of hot chocolate drink - and this has a very nutty taste to it, too, reminding me some of the Ferrero Rocher chocolates in the gold wrapper!  This is well worth trying out and is available by mail order from the Harrods online shop HERE
This item is no longer available at Harrods due to rebranding (as of March 2017)

Harrods Mocha Hot Chocolate drink

This is a powdered chocolate drink in a very snazzy metallic purple tin - 200g of chocolate powder for £9.99.  Despite instructions on the back of the tin, one heaped teaspoon makes a mugful of seriously yummy chocolate drink.  (Heat up the milk in a pan, using a little milk in the mug mix up with the teaspoon of chocolate powder into a paste, and then pour on the hot milk).  This has a very obvious mocha coffee flavour, and the drink reminds me of the 70% (and over) chocolate bars - not sweet but not overly bitter either.
VERY tasty and worth the price!

This can be purchased online here Harrods Mocha Chocolate
