The decor is cosy, romantic and very European / Viennese. The staff friendly and the coffee...MAGIC. I had a ristretto (not many places even know what that is) followed up by a latte. The presentation was superb with a little glass of water accompanying the ristretto on a small tray. The temperature of the latte was perfect and the espresso mixed well with the milk.
Oh the real reason for my visit....my partners craving for chocolate. Boy do they have chocolate...over 35 varieties of imported Belgian chocolate in vibrant colours and shapes. So different to boring offerings of the local chain stores. A unique boutique chocolaterie with an excellent product offering and very friendly staff. The bald guy should have his own stage show !

The cafe was cosy and had a nice ambiance. We were served by a polite and charismatic gentleman that obviously had been in the hospitality industry for some years- exceptional service. The coffee is defiantly the best that I have tasted down Bridge Road which says a lot as I used to be a barista for 4 years and am very particular with my coffee. Our breakfasts were substantial and were great value for money. The big breakfast took me a while to get through however I was content to spend time just relaxing and soaking up the hustle and bustle of Bridge Road.
The Belgium truffles were heaven. My favourite from the box I bought would defiantly be the butter cup creams and the ginger dark chocolates ;0) It is nice to see a good independent chocolaterie that is well priced as there are many franchise stores out now that just don't have that same quality. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves big breakfast, great coffee and exceptional chocolates.

Chocolate lovers must try this place. It has beautiful atmosphere with a great selection of belgian chocolates and menu delights. I tried the belgian waffles with chocolate sauce and icecream, the baci hot chocolate with real hazelnut grains and a selection of assorted chocolates. My opinion? Great potential but for what could have been a great experience became average one due to the fact that I dont think the waffles are made on the premise and the ones they served tasted a bit stale and little underheated. The icecream was also pre-frozen and was quite icy, definitely not premium vanilla icecream but tasted like ice confectionary. However, the hot chocolate was yummy, very fragrant and strong hazelnut taste and there were about 10 different hot chocolates to choose from. The only technicality I will pick on is that the menu said 'italian hot choc' and for those of you who have tried the stuff know that it is very thick. This was just like a normal hot chocolate but yes it was delicious. My partner had a cappucino and was not happy with it.

The assorted chocolate selection was nice but nothing spectacular given that it was belgian. Although I will admit the choc hazlenut crisp was my favourite (shaped like a seashell)

Apart from that the service was a bit slow but friendly. They had one person on a Sunday lunch hour.

Approximate cost: $10
