Can't recommend these two enough, it's not just beautifully made truffles and chocolates, as by my pictures they can create anything you want.

Get your chocolate here, you're wasting your time with places like Max Brenner who looks like a kid playing at making good chocolate compared to these guys.

I tried their 56% iced chocolate drink at 156 Adelaide St., which was fantastic. Would definitely stop by for a chocolate drink any time I am back in Brisbane. Highly, highly recommend. I bought chocolates at 156 first. Everything I saw was $6 for 100 grams, but I didn't know what 100 grams of chocolate looks like (darn Imperial system) so I ended up getting a pre-packaged and wrapped pack of 4 random goods for $30. Mixed bag whether it's worth it or not. Buying the 4 packs separately would have been cheaper, but the milk chocolate-covered strawberries in the gift set weren't in stock individually at the 144 store.

I was first introduced to Kaitlyn's handmade chocolates when visiting Scrumptious Reads on James Street. You can still get a selection of them from there or order direct. It was after tasting her chocolates at SR that I had to order some for my colleagues who would be visiting Brisbane in a few weeks. The process of ordering directly with Kaitlyn was without trouble. In fact, the most troublesome part of the process was deciding the combination of flavours that would go into each box. There's currently 16 flavours to select from including the likes of a cold press coffee and dark chocolate, whiskey and dark chocolate, Guinness and dark chocolate, and the list goes on. In an age of convenience and mass-produced everything, these chocolates are a rare and welcome bite of something made from high quality ingredients and made with heart. Whether you are buying for yourself, for a gift or for an event - the beauty of being a custom chocolatier is that there is a solution individual to exactly what you need. And it's worth it. So, so worth it.

I dare a local resident to say that they've walked into this particular Australiana souvenir store…read more It's not the type of place you often shop at if you're not a tourist, yet, that may all change with the mezzanine area being transformed into the newest Noosa Chocolate Factory cafe. Their sign caught my attention from the corner of my eye and curiosity sealed the deal for me to walk in, up the stairs and to the loft space that is home to the usual NCF range of chocolates, their signature hot chocolates and coffee. It's spacious, more so than the Adelaide Street stores, with ample seating for group get togethers. Their light pine fitout remains and the neon "Made in Queensland" sign shines bright from the back wall. I opted for a hot chai mocha with their milk chocolate and on a windy city day it was just the drink to warm your hands as I walked back down the mall. So next time you're in the Queen Street Mall and a craving for freeze dried chocolate covered strawberries presents itself, you know where to go!

This place really does cause a stir. Initially I thought I'd just go off my most recent positive…read moreexperience but after a light google I realized that there really is more to say about The Blue Cat Fine Chocolates. The truth needs to be said. So, my most recent experience at The Blue Cat was really positive. We browsed the array of delectable, beautifully presented chocolates. The service staff was welcoming but not particularly personable. For reasons I'll disclose later I decided to ask a few questions. I began to query the woman about the chocolate cooking classes they had on offer. Initially she was pretty vague but was quite clear in insisting that emailing the person in charge would alleviate all of my concerns. A friend of mine purchased two small pieces of chocolate before leaving, which I was able to steal a bite from. I have to admit that the chocolate is quite delicious and well worth the gourmet price tag. Over five years ago I went to The Blue Cat as a high school lad and I had a totally different experience. The woman at the counter treated us very poorly for absolutely no reason. A friend of mine approached the counter during the incident and the woman barked, "don't maul at the counter". In this moment I tried to ask the woman to calm down and raised my arms to my chest before she snapped, "don't raise your hands at me". After that we left immediately, intent on never returning again. So, here I am five years in the future unsure of what to tell you. I can tell you that my most recent experience was quite exceptional and the product was delicious. I can also tell you that I also had the most shocking customer service related moment of my life here. In addition, one merely has to google The Blue Cat Fine Chocolates and you'll find an array of contrasting reviews that essentially say what I am telling you. The people running The Blue Cat may be a little eccentric but I don't know if that necessarily justifies their behavior. For the adventurous shoppers out there I encourage you to go to The Blue Cat, grab something sweet and share your story, cause I have a feeling each encounter with the lions at The Blue Cat will be different. I do hope they purr sweetly for you.

My friend and I were wandering for a place to…read morehave a coffee and some sweets to catch up and since she came to visit me all the way from Canada, I wanted to show off what Brisbane has to offer. She has a sweet tooth and I was glad to have found this place. The place is not big, about 10 - 15 tables of two or four seats with a front patio. A comfortable place to meet up or for a quick meeting. They serve coffee, tea, chocolates, cakes, and ice cream/gelato. There are many options on the menu with other desserts. The server was very friendly, always came and checked on us. We ordered a Chocolate Tapas platter to share with a Spanish coffee for her and Decaf Latte for me. In the platter includes: 6 Cinnamon Sugar Churro sticks, 2 chocolate brownies (very rich), a Crema Catalana truffle, a Pachamama Truffle with Dark Chocolate Dip, and a couple fresh strawberries. We ended up not finishing the plate, it was delicious but very rich at the same time. I am not big on chocolate, for sure I could never finish it. We ended up taking the leftovers home. The bill came out to about $35. It's not a cheap place to hang out but it's a good treat once in a while. I will definitely go back with my husband - he loves sweets!
