Bit of a hidden gem as down a back street off a busy shopping street in Adelaide the Chocolate Bean has become a regular Saturday treat. The menu is full of amzingly chocolatey treats from drinks to cakes and a lot are gluten free or vegan/vegiterian as well as a cafes usual staples. Always buzzing and brilliant when sunny as... More

I recently visited here with my partner after hearing good things from friends... And my god... I never want to go anywhere else for chocolate ever again! The food here is beyond amazing! It tastes sooo unbelievably good! My partner and I both had brownies, and I had a hot white chocolate. I have to say, the hot white chocolate... More

The bar is really boutique style and very cosy. Great to get a hot chocolate or try one of their chocolate indulgences. I can recommend the White Hot Chocolate! More

Dinky place with steep stairs to cramped upstairs area. Choccie desserts are okay, but nothing really special. More

The Chocolate Bean is my go-to sweet place in Adelaide. I love the cosy atmosphere, the sublime orange hot chocolate and the amazing cakes. A great place to meet up casually with friends or take your book and while away the hours. More

We were really disapointed with chocolate bean. We ordered berry waffles it was supposed to be berries, with berry juice, chocolate sauce, ice cream and cream.

Our friend had the chocolate mousse which was extremely disappointing.... More

Walked past Chocolate bean, had read some reviews about the place so thought it could be worth checking. Ordered some brownies, hot chocolate and a friend ordered a cocktail. Person who took our order seemed uninterested in what she was doing, even though the place was quiet (they had another 2 customers and this was during the long weekend). Firstly... More
