You know when a company tries to take on the coffee crowd, they're going to give it everything. When the folk at Theobroma realised there was a demand for something other than the caffeine bean, they decided to take it to the next level and bring top-quality chocolate experiences to the people.

You'll find crispy Belgian waffles smothered in thick melted chocolate on their extensive menu, as well as truffles, fondue, pancakes, gift boxes, hot and cold drinks, coffee, cakes and fruit – and each location have their own food menu for breakfast and lunch.

The aim is perfection, and the menu reflects that in scrumptious, elegant treats, including Belgian chocolate mousse with white chocolate cream, edible hot chocolate, mud cake, brownies, chef's tasting plate and even cakes, fruit and ice cream.

It was a sad day when Cacao moved business solely online, as they make the finest macarons, cakes, pastries and, of course, chocolates. But not to worry, you can still get the delicious wares delivered to your door and from select physical stockists.

Cacao still have everyone's favourite traditional flavours, or you could branch out into delights, such as burnt orange, gianduja, mandarin, passionfruit, rose, yuzu, and miso caramel.

6. Monsieur Truffe

Tucked away inside East Brunswick lies Monsieur Truffe, the insanely delicious and decadent chocolatier, who also furnishes a cafe (East Elevation) with chocolatey treats. 

Championing bean-to-bar chocolates since way back in 2006, at Monsieur Truffe, you can grab single-origin, specialty flavours, like berries and cream, coconut, honeycomb, caramel specks, roasted hazelnut, chai and pistachio, as well as hot chocolates and seasonal goodies. 

The East Elevation menu also features a Monsieur Truffe hot chocolate list – the salted caramel is utterly divine.
