Hey folks. If you haven’t see the insides yet or what they are capable of, I put this short clip (2-3 minutes) onto YouTube;

Next up is filming the chocolate making process and having some in-store tasting nights. Jump on the new mailing list if you are interested (in the youtube link)

Hi Mel

Thanks for your comment. I will pass on your iced coffee tip to my friend – I hate to think that Sydney does something better than Melbourne in the food stakes I will find out the name of the early-morning barista and tell her you proclaimed her powers far and wide on MEL: HOT OR NOT.

Love my coffee and am pleased to say that my brand new neighbours make an excellent coffee. They use Di Bella coffee, which seems to be appearing all around Melbourne. The iced coffee is a must try. I have been several times now maybe I am a little biased but the young lady that is there first thing in the morning seems to be the star on the machine.

Hi Paul

I’ve not tried the coffee there (not being a coffee drinker) – do you know what brand of coffee they use?

Also, a friend of mine (ex-Sydney) says that she’s been unable to find a single place in Melbourne that does a decent iced coffee. I noticed that Shocolate does iced mochas – so presumably they offer iced coffees too? Have you tried them?

I would have to agree with the above…excellent chocolates, excellent coffee and excellent service…a must visit for anyone!

Hi Rilsta

I did actually take a photo of the inside of the giant rocher, but both RM and I thought the closeup of the semi-melted praline looked a bit unappetising, as if I had chewed it and then spat it back out. So you’ll have to go and try it for yourself

That giant rocher does look amazing! You should have taken a photo of the inside! I must go and try this place. There are so many chocolatiers popping up everywhere! .-= Rilsta´s last blog ..Review: Esposito, Carlton =-.

Hi Penny

I think Melbourne is intending to bring us some cooler weather soon, so I may join you for a hot chocolate tasting! Lots of people were ordering iced chocolates the afternoon of my visit, so they might be worth a try too.

Hi Agnes

Yes, amazing is the right word for it! I’m a chocoholic and even I wouldn’t suggest having one to yourself.

Looks like from your blog that you’ve been to Japan recently – now that’s foodie heaven!
