Serving up a variety of delicious waffles, indulgent hot chocolates, milkshakes and not forgetting their hugely popular ‘Crèma Gelata’ soft-serve ice creams (Opening hours: Monday – Sunday 9am – 9pm).

Lindt Bicester Village store manager, Bart Spadlo comments: “We’re thrilled to open the world’s first Lindt ‘Chocolate Bar’ and to expand our presence at Bicester Village, just in time for Half Term. We think it will be hugely popular with guests looking for the ultimate indulgent chocolate treat.’  

Situated in the main mall, the ‘Chocolate Bar’ will serve 17 different delectable treats. Indulge in a luxurious velvety hot chocolate, crafted with a rich shot of liquid chocolate and steamed milk, finished with delicate flakes of LINDT EXCELLENCE 70% chocolate.

Satisfy your sweet tooth with an irresistible new waffle, drenched in a melted chocolate-tap shot, served with a generous helping of ‘Crema Gelata’, and drizzled with the popular Lindt Cremosa chocolate sauce.

For ice cream lovers, enjoy the rich and creamy flavours of Lindt White and Milk chocolate ‘Crema Gelata’. Available in a waffle cone dipped in melted chocolate and filled with a chocolate shot from the Lindt chocolate tap, topped with a swirl of chocolate hazelnut sauce, and a dark chocolate thin.

If you prefer a shake, choose from Milk, White, or White Chocolate Strawberry options. Each shake blends ice-cold milk with creamy ‘Crema Gelata’, topped with grated LINDT EXCELLENCE 70% chocolate. Crafted with passion by the Lindt Master Chocolatiers, it’s pure indulgence in every sip.

Offering a one-of a kind experience, the new ‘Chocolate Bar’ will complement the Lindt Chocolate Shop also situated in Bicester Village. It’s definitely worth a visit with a life-sized flowing chocolate fountain, decorative cocoa pods suspended from the ceiling and the delicious, and the iconic jewel-like rainbow of Lindt Pick & Mix.  Discover the enchanting world of Lindt with an abundance of gifts, assorted boxes, and bars to choose from – it’s pure chocolate heaven.

A mouth-watering selection of Lindt Pick and Mix awaits you, with customer favourites and some more unique and exclusive flavours: from Lindt Marc de Champagne truffles to LINDOR Raspberry & Cream and so much more!

For over 175 years, Lindt Master Chocolatiers have been dedicated and pioneered to craft the world’s finest chocolates, skilfully creating irresistible masterpieces. There’s a reason Lindt chocolate is so smooth, is all about the conching. Invented by Rodolphe Lindt in 1879 and still used today, the conching process revolutionised the chocolate industry. By continuously stirring chocolate for over 72 hours, it created a chocolate so fine and flavoursome that it could melt completely on the tongue. This silky smooth and velvety texture has since become synonymous with Lindt.

Nestled in the heart of the British countryside, Bicester Village offers 150 luxury fashion & lifestyle boutiques and dine-in restaurants. Only 47 minutes from London by train, and with free parking for all guests travelling by car, it’s the perfect day trip for all the family in a picturesque, open-air setting.
