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.

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.

For our almost-regular Tuesday lunches, we decided to head to Mrs. Luu's to grab a sandwich, and…read moreended up giving in to our desires for an iced hot chocolate! Oh, the calories! I've been wanting to try Bunker for the longest time, and today was the day. I love the vine covered hub, which reminds me of a burrow, and of a cafe that I used to visit back in L.A. Instead of getting my usual latte, I went for the bottled ice dark chocolate (5). I'm not the biggest fan of hot chocolate, as it's usually too sweet and heavy for me to finish (I know, strange, because I can finish a whole Chipotle burrito), but I decided that the unusually warm weather called for an iced chocolate. We were greeted by a really friendly barista who helped us right away - and well - the iced dark chocolate and dark chocolate mocha were pre-bottled, so there wasn't much work. The iced dark chocolate, made with organic milk (I think?) and fair trade chocolate, was quickly consumed! It wasn't too sweet, and I would definitely go for it again. The iced dark mocha was also really good, and not at all grainy, which often happens in a lot of mochas. My only complaint was that the bottles were a bit harder to open (I prefer Bean's bottles), and the straws were too short and kept falling in! The drinks were so delicious it didin't matter though....

They also offer take-home coffee beans which they will grind for you depending on what device you'll be using them in.

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.

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 mainly due to the size allowing them to really fill up the place with a wide variety of goods. I am used to health food stores being the size of boutiques, not much larger than and average sized bedroom kind of thing. Surprisingly, 'Mrs Flannery's' is the size of a small IGA or your local food store. It has a few aisles like the ones you find at the Supermarket! Here you will find, organic cereal, wide range of nuts and whole grains as well as natural household and beauty products. I am fond of their peanut butter which is literally grounded peanuts with no additives, preservatives and flavourings. Of course shopping here is not as cheap as the local supermarket but you feel so good about yourself for being so healthy after shopping here. I obviously would not do my entire groceries here as that would burn a hole in my pocket though. 'Mrs Flannery's' is a must for anyone into natural health and organic foods who lives around the 'Taringa' area. You will not be disappointed by the range this place has to offer.
