Capturing Comfort and Connection

Pantone’s Colour of the Year is more than just a shade; it’s a reflection of how we’re all feeling. For 2025, the colour Mocha Mousse (Pantone 17-1230) was chosen to capture the global vibe of connection, comfort and balance. This rich, warm brown brings to mind the cosy warmth of coffee and chocolate, giving us that feeling of calm and comfort we all crave. In a world that can often feel overwhelming, Mocha Mousse speaks to our desire to slow down, enjoy life’s little pleasures, and reconnect. It’s the perfect colour to remind us to take it easy and find comfort in the simple things.

Coffee and Chocolate Spots

Chantry Place is the place to be for coffee connoisseurs, whether a quick espresso to jump-start your day or a leisurely latte. From Costa Coffee to Caffe Nero and Bakers + Baristas and even Ben & Jerry’s, there are plenty of places to go. You can also grab a free coffee in the EE store when you’re checking out their top tech. Chantry Place is a great place to catch up with friends, get some work done, or just take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

For chocolate lovers, Hotel Chocolat is an essential stop. Located on the Upper Ground floor, this shop offers a range of luxurious treats, from rich truffles to indulgent hot chocolate. It’s a great place to pick up a gift or treat yourself to something sweet.

A Sweet History with a Cosy Vibe

Did you know that Chantry Place is on the site of an old chocolate factory? Originally home to the Caley Mineral Water Company, the factory began producing cocoa and chocolate in the late 1800s. In 1932, Mackintosh, the brand behind iconic sweets like Rolo, took over the site. Though the factory closed in 1996, its chocolate legacy still influences the atmosphere today, adding a touch of nostalgia for visitors.

The centre’s warm, inviting feel perfectly matches the deep brown tones of Mocha Mousse. This earthy shade isn’t just about colour – it’s about that feeling of comfort and luxury, much like the vibe at Chantry Place. It’s the kind of colour that makes you think of snuggling up with a hot drink or enjoying some chocolate – both of which you can find here.
