I love coming here. There's a great ambience, friendly staff, and usually a quiet corner. They have two floors.. and like the window tables. The chocolate drinks are lovely. I would come again and am glad to have been introduced to it by a WOMOW review.

Great little find, comfortable/relaxing environment with an array of exceptional hot chocolates, tea, coffee and sweet treats to pick from. The prices vary but is quality for money and just off of Rundle Street it is a little haven for any chocolate lover!

Delicious food for the sweet tooth and all at a great price too. Service can be average but they're ALWAYS busy - so it's understandable.

The Chocolate Bean on Union St Adelaide is a specialist chocolate shop with an array of different hot chocolates. Their menu is online. There is also an array of wonderful looking desserts and fairly plain savoury dishes which will not steal the limelight from the chocolate. The shop allows dining on two floors. The ground floor is a little ramshackle but the first floor is neat and cosy.

The hot chocolates come in 3 sizes for $3.50, $4.50 and $5.50. I had a medium sized hot chocolate with orange and that was served in a generous mug. It came with a bubbly froth with a dollop of cream in the middle and chocolate sprinkling on top. It was milky and not particular rich but I was glad of this given the large mug. The orange flavour was a delight although it got a bit sweet toward the bottom of the mug.

There were no marshmallows or chocolates served with the drink. The Mug came with a square saucer which was a stylish addition.

This was a pleasurable visit and I will return to try some other flavours.

Chocolate Bean is where i go to escape the rat race. It is a quaint little cafe reasonably quite during the week. It has a feel of Paris or Melbourne side street cafe which is a change to the franchised/lifeless cafe's around town.

This used to be one of my favorite places to go and it's still pretty nice and quaint but it isn't as nice as it used to be before they revamped the decor. The desserts are still good value and the coffee is really nice too and not too pricey.
