“A must for anyone visiting Melbourne”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

This is the second time I've been to the Chokolait Hub and the first time that I managed to try the World Famous Chokolait Pavlova (I missed out by 1 person last time and have been craving it ever since!). To be honest, I preferred the chocolate mousse cake that I had on my first visit - but maybe the pavlova just didn't have enough chocolate in it for me! The Jaffa Hot Chocolate is amazing too, I highly recommend it, although I couldn't finish the whole thing myself which is rare for me when chocolate is concerened!

The service was fantastic too - very friendly staff who were happy to offer helpful suggestions and put up with the time it took us to decide what we wanted.

I can't recommend this place enough - I would much rather visit here than one of the chain chocolate restaurants. I only wish there was one in Canberra so I could go all the time!

HI and thanks for your very kind review, seems our "World famous Chokolait Pavlova" might need a bit of tweeking to make sure you get enough of a chockie fix next time. At themoment there is enough "goings on" in Canberra so we will stay out of that one for a while, Take care and kind regards, Ross/Owner/Chokolait

“A Melbourne Must Do”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

This little piece of chocolate heaven is located down an arcade just off little Collins street. If you are in Melbourne and like chocolate even a little you MUST visit this place even if it means searching for it.

On the menu is both hot and cold choices of uniquely blended chocolate drinks made with imported Belgium chocolate and fresh spices and other ingredients. They also have dessert and hand made chocolates that are to die for. The only drawback is it is very hard to choose what to get. But don’t worry just ask the lovley owners to suggest something and tell them what you like. But it is safe to say no matter what you have you will be happy.

Settled into the cosy chocolate brown couches my friend chose an iced chocolate and hand made truffle. I chose a cinnamon hot chocolate and orange chocolate. Our afternoon tea cost us each 10 very well spent dollars. Enjoying the slice of heaven the owner and fellow patrons engaged us in conversation on our trip and helped us with suggestions for site seeing. Our drinks and chocolate were so good I think we licked the glasses.

I would go back to this place in a heart beat.

“Bloody good Chocolate Pavlova”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

The chocolate pavlova has so much finesse and not overly sweet. The owners are absolutely lovely and made my time there so memorable.
