Chocolate. The Aztecs invented it, the Spanish refined it and arguably, the Belgians perfected it. With Belgian master chocolatier Dries Cnockaert at the helm for 2 years, Koko Black was imparted the secrets of European chocolate. Today, with a full team of well-trained chocolate experts, they proudly bring their very own chocolate offerings to ever-discerning Melburnians. With a dazzling array of handmade bonbons awaiting selection in glass cases, shelves stocked with tempting confections and a shiny kitchen in which molten chocolate is lovingly handled by chocolatiers in spotless white aprons, you’ll find it increasingly hard to sit down and simply read the plain, two-page menu. However, trust us, it doesn’t disappoint.
If it’s cold outside, Koko Black’s signature hot chocolate is divine. A lusciously smooth and creamy blend of whole milk and feathery flakes of dark chocolate, it’ll warm your cockles in no time. Otherwise, opt for the iced chocolate. A perfect marriage of chocolate and vanilla ice-cream, blended then swirled with chocolate sauce and topped with chocolate shavings, this is dessert heaven in a glass. Tempted to have something with your drink? The Belgian Spoil is the ideal way to try everything Koko Black has to offer, without blowing out your budget or your waistline. A tiny but extravagant platter containing a delectable scoop of chocolate ice-cream, a blob of chocolate mousse, a piece of buttery shortbread, a wedge of rich chocolate cake and two beautifully crafted chocolates, this is a must-try. For only when you’ve sampled the sinful treasures of Melbourne’s most iconic chocolaterie can you proudly declare yourself a true chocolate lover. | ||
