Real flaked chocolate melted into steaming milk and whisked glossy, drunk in the city where Fry's made the world's first mass-produced chocolate bar in 1847.
Joseph Fry's Bristol works pioneered industrial chocolate, producing the first mass-made eating chocolate bar in 1847 and inventing the Chocolate Cream in 1866. The factories moved and merged into Cadbury long ago, but the city keeps the habit: Park Street's chocolate house melts flaked single-origin chocolate into proper drinking cups, and independent chocolatiers on North Street carry the craft forward with their own bars and workshops.
