The very best chocolates!!!! Made in Australia and have been around since 1915. They tout the fact that they use the best cocoa in a specialized chocolate making process. Their unique chocolates are rich and smooth and some of the best I've ever tasted!!! Friendliest service and usually yummy free samples upon entering!!!! read more

My homie recommended this spot saying it was the shit and that it's the oldest chocolate company in straya for a reason so when we went I had high expectations. Haighs met it and then some. The presentation and raw selection on offer was immense and I was immediately lost in the selection of my edible souvenir I kept saying I'd save but couldn't resist downing. Got a 12 pack 1kg deal and loved the fact that I could select multiple flavors not just 12 of one . For the price 8.99 aud I was ecstatic value was huge obviously but the flavor blew me away! Everything from Cabernet, cherry, mango, passion fruit etc was of course clean but very flavorful and left a smile on my face after every bite. Everyone was so nice there and listened to the foreign American go on and on how nothing back in the states comes close! I'm gonna be a regular when I finally move and places like this help me count the days! read more

Ended up buying some chocolates as gifts and upon check out was asked if I wanted to try their chocolate. They offered a milk or dark chocolate - both were delicious. It's not a high end chocolatier but the chocolate was delicious! They also have a wide variety and selection of chocolates to choose from so you will definitely find something here! read more

Haigh's Chocolates - Candy Stores Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Awesome chocolate shop!!! It reminds me of Harry Potter chocolate shop. They even had chocolate frogs. The building that the shop is in is the QVB Queen Victoria Building. It's got beautiful stained glass. The chocolates are scrumptious and fresh. I like the variety of flavors and options to take home in a box or bag. Great assortment of souvenirs for travelers as well. The girl at the chocolates counter was very attentive and gave great suggestions of chocolates. read more

Haighs it's beautiful chocky. Not cheap but to be enjoyed and savored. The staff are very friendly and there is a vast selection of chocolate to choose from. Always great for a special gift or treat for yourself or someone special. We are not able to get to Haighs often but when we do it a must to get some to share the love around. A nice little touch for that someone special or to show your appreciation for some that has done you a favor. What more can I say it's chocolate and it's delicious. read more

#78 for 2018 Established in 1915, Haigh's Chocolates has been serving the Australian continent for over 100 years. They have been consistently on time maintain a high quality of product. With a reputation like that, I had to give them a try. I went to the Queen Victoria location, not far from the Town Hall Station. Located right in the front street level , it was easy to find just by looking where everyone was headed to. A team of 3 staffers ran the counter, answering questions from customers, ringing them up and offering samples. Pretty much everything. As busy as it was you would think there iwould be a line. Howver, there was none. And this on a day when kids were out from school. There were so many selections too it was hard to make a decision. They do offer samples but only of the few basic chocolates. For others I basically asked what they were like just to get an idea and help me make my decision. All around the store hand packaged chocolates layed from milk chocolates to dark. At the counter, in the display case, were the more titillaing favors. Sold by weight unless noted otherwise. Staff was on point offering many things but yet didn't seem to be confusing anyone. Several repeat customer are frequent offers are available. Too bad I don't live here. These, of course, are not cheap but how often do you find a wonderul chocolatier of this caliber? A treat once in awhile to one deserving can't be that bad. I purchased the regular milk chocolate and dark chocolate ginger. Both had 4 bars, 176g, for about $10.75 Aussie. I immediately tried the milk chocolate. One bar finished quickly in 4 bites. So creamy and yet, not sickingly sweet. Delicious!! When will I come back? Every chance I get. read more

Haigh's drew us into the Strand Arcade with huge windows full of chocolate delights. If you like chocolate (especially Belgian style milk chocolate) you'll be very happy here. That's what I like so we grabbed some treats to bring home. If you need a thoughtful hostess gift, they have lots of options or you can customize s box at the counter. I thought prices were very fair as well. Staffers are happy to hand out a few samples - we got a generous sampling as we checked out! read more

Passed by this place, and it smelled incredibly inviting. This chocolate place is somewhat like a in between See's and Godiva here in the US. They have some pieces are kinda fancy, and some are just very traditional. When you check out at the cash register, they also ask what kind of chocolate would you like to try. Bought some dark chocolate because they are not only tasty, they are also very high in iron and healthy for your heart!! I just love having some dark chocolate with some red wine. I highly recommend Haigh's Chocolates if you are ever in the area!! read more

In most of my cafe reviews, you'll see me mention passion. Something that adds an extra something to the product or service offered. Well, simply put, Haigh's are passionate about chocolate. To see how popular this store is, try to think back to their peak season (valentines day), and remember how long the lines were to just get into the store. These guys make a fantastic range of chocolate. When I am there I find it hard to go past the massive choc freckles (for the kids of course) and the dark chocolate for me. It certainly makes for a special treat when out and about in Sydney (especially when you get offered a free sample or tow from here). read more

Haigh's Chocolates is one of Australia's most well-loved and sophisticated chocolate brands but only has one shop in Sydney! Get on over to the Strand on George Street to check out this delightful chocolatier. As with all the shops in the Strand, the whole area has olde worlde feel to it with decorative wood panelling and marble floors. The shop assistants are classily decked in white and are on hand to weigh out quantities of the chocolate on silver scales. There is a huge variety of both flavours and shapes of chocolate to choose from, though the most common shape is their signature frog. I rather stupidly said to my companion "it feels just like Chocolat in here," but the creativity and quality in the chocolate really did make me think of Joanna Harris' descriptions! Why only the four stars? Well my friend, you'll have to have wads of cash to taste any of it! With one small bar costing $10 I wasn't going to be gorging on the stuff in a hurry, and there weren't any samples to cheekily steal. Luckily for me my friend decided to get some mint chocolate drops and was given a couple of freebies with it so I did manage to have some Haighs. Needless to say, it was perfect! read more

It is great to come here to this establishment at Adelaide's Rundle Street Mall; however it is just as great (if not better) in a prominent locale at the Strand Arcade. Trust me, once you have tried one of their milk chocolate frogs; it is like goodbye to the Freddo frog. For a chocolate treat, and even just to provide a great gift to a friend, family member or even a work colleague who adores chocolate; Haighs is fantastic for that. This is chocolate that lasts. If you are the Freddo Frog type; do yourself a favour and buy one of their packets of all of these frogs; there are about 15 chocolate frogs in all; and they are a great pick me up if your not having such a great day: just simply pop them in your fridge, and take one and you will immediately feel like a chocolate "Haigh's" therapy has immediately beckoned upon you; kind of like the healing froggy. This establishment is also the perfect locale for show and tell. I love the massive froggy chocolate display, and the establishment just has that elegant, opulent, abundant feeling like your in royalty land. like a grown up in a candy store who has been given a bonus cheque to lash out and simply enjoy. read more

If you love chocolate and sweet treats, Haigh's Chcolate is the place to visit. Lined with beautifully crafted and delicious tasting chocolate in a range of flavours and textures, Haighs sells luxury chocolate in the CBD. Their products make a great gift, whether it be a present or 'just because'. When my father would come to visit he regularly bought me the large mint chocolate in the shape of a frog. Every time I walk past Haigh's I simply cannot resist buying the super sized chocolate frog. The chocolate is simply divine and lasts forever! Most goods are reasonably priced considering the quality. Haigh's is well known throughout Sydney and attracts large crowds. The store is reminiscent of a European chocolatier and the products taste good enough to rival Swiss and Belgian chocolate. A trip to Haigh's is a must whether you live in Sydney or are simply visiting. A purchase at Haigh's makes a great gift! read more

I have to admit I am a huge fan of these South Australian chocolates. I always end up with way too many chocolates from here each time I visit. I stocked up as have run out at home. The service here is always lovely and courteous. Bonus is that they always offer samples at purchase time so that is a nice touch. It was buzzing with people today getting their chocolate fix. I went with a mixed bag of treats today. I would usually get lots of the milk chocolate nuts but wanted something different today. I ended up getting a Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie, Milk Scorched Almonds, Berry Chocs, and Milk Macadamia And Coconut Block. read more

Woah, visiting from the states this place is great! The chocolate is hand wrapped and more on the sweeter side. Even their dark chocolates are more sweet, so if you want something super dark, this doesn't seem like your spot; however, if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth this is a must! It is a bit on the pricer side, but really how often do you actually buy a bar of chocolates? And if you're gonna need to pick between a Hershey's or this place, no contest, spend your money here! It'll look better and you'll feel a bit less guilty! read more

Reminds me of See's chocolates in the USA... At triple the price, but hey, you can't have it all.

I went on a chocolate rampage in the CBD in search of gifts for 2 serious chocoholics. I visited all the chocolatiers in the area - Josophan's, Koko Black, and Haigh's. I'm no chocolate eater so my thoughts are from a gift buying perspective only. Haigh's was the stand out by far! The best prices of the lot and the largest selection of chocolates and chocolate-related gifts. They have complimentary gift-wrapping and offer a small chocolate tasting when paying. read more

Outstanding chocolate. It's our favorite across the globe. So far! LOVE the vanilla bars and the strawberry cream Bon bons. Happy to find Haigh's in Sydney now too. We found them in Adelaide and toured the factory years ago. Shopping for chocolate in Sydney is so much more convenient. We were trying to buy our stash for the trip back to the states today and the store was packed (I mean packed) with Easter buyers. Definitely the place that Aussies go to celebrate with wonderful chocolate too. read more

Don't try to buy chocolate at 1pm on a Friday. I am assured by a very helpful (if somewhat harried) shop assistant that this is the busiest hour of the week in this Strand Arcade chocolatier. Besuited types line up with surprisingly large wads of chocolates to see them (and perhaps their loved ones) through the weekend. With great restraint they stop themselves from tearing open the packets and wolfing down vast handfuls. Despite the wait, we all are rewarded with a free sample at the culmination of our purchase and wander off in chocolate-induced stupor. The only place I know where you can buy a chocolate frog the size of your head. read more

Haigh's Chocolate is definately pricey at over $11 per 100 grams, I would not be getting fat from their selection. However if you want to treat yourself or me, they are a good option. Although their chocolates are generally quite traditional, they are delicious, I think my personal pick would be the Wattle Seed Crunch as it is the most unique, it features wattle seeds (obviously) and dark chocolate centre in a milk chocolate casing, yum. They also have chai chocolate bars which is something a bit different. read more

Sydney has a fair few confectionaries and chocolate makers, but they aren't all created equal. No, no, some are surly better than others. And Haigh's, with its cocoa creations, wears the king's crown. The selection of dark, milk and white covered nuts and fruits are enticing. The bars and barks are alluring. The truffles and rocky road might whisper sweet nothings to you. But all that is in vain, because Haigh's chocolate shop has one single, solitary item that will grab you by the heartstrings, crawl on in and stay awhile. And that is the chocolate chai bar. You can get this singularly, or prepackaged in a bag of four. $2.40 will get you one, and believe me, that is probably all you need... at least for now. But oh-so-soon you'll be crawling back for more like a crack addict in search of the next hit. I could try and describe the qualities of this delicacy all day long- it's smooth, has a slight crunch, perfectly paired chai spices, sweet, almost nugguty texture- but the only way to go here is to pop in and try one for yourself. Don't be shy. Everyone needs a sneaky little chocolate-coated lover in their life. read more

For a country where the chocolate seems quite appalling, Haigh's chocolates is a diamond amongst the rough, an oasis for chocolate lovers after a genuine chocolatey hit, rather than the chalky brown pap that is often turned out. As well as wonderfully thick chocolate bars, Haigh's have created animals, objects, letters and flavour sensations that are as beautiful for the eyes as they are on the taste buds. It's like stepping back in time 100 years - the silver scales, hand wrapped chocolates and smartly dressed shop attendants. Just heaven. read more

Best chocolate ever! Be advised at holiday time such as Christmas, mother's day, easter etc. expect long lines that go out of the store but it is WORTH the wait as their chocolate is soooo heavenly! The loose chocolates are fantastic especially the truffles! read more
