Ooty Chocolates, started in West Tambaram two years ago, has opened another shop in Chromepet. Located in a strategic location on Grand Southern Trunk opposite the railway station and close to Vetri Theatre, the shop is a one-stop shop for sweet treats.

K. Garibaldi and Tilak Raj, proprietors, told Downtown that they decided to launch a new shop after the response to their two-year-old branch in Tambaram was encouraging. Chocolates with roasted almond, cashewnuts and fruit and nut continued to be most popular, especially among children.

The shop also has natural and fresh home made ice-creams in more than a dozen flavours. Both the chocolates and ice-creams were free from preservatives and synthetic substances normally associated with conventional chocolates and ice-creams.
