8 Melbourne Chocolate Shops To Satiate Your Sweet Tooth

Easter is almost here, but chocolate is a magical treat to have any day of the year. It’s an irresistible snack that will always keep you feeling happy and motivated. Whether you’re looking for a gift, or simply treating yourself, here are some amazing chocolate shops around Melbourne that will help you get your chocolate fix.

1. Monsieur Truffe

A long time ago, you could only find Monsieur Truffe at the Prahran Markets. It was a one-man operation but the quality was undeniable. Monsieur Truffe has since grown and now, you can find their chocolate factory and retail space in Brunswick East.

There, you will find a selection of chocolate bars made with organic ingredients and wrapped with recycled paper. Treat yourself to a hot chocolate while you’re there.

Discover everything Monsieur Truffe has to offer at 351 Lygon St, Brunswick East VIC 3057.

2. Good Boy Chocolate

Good Boy Chocolate was started by Alessandro Luppolo, a pastry chef with years of experience working in Milan, New York and Hong Kong. Now, in Melbourne, he makes small batch, artisanal chocolate. Good Boy follows the bean-to-bar process, where they roast, grind and shape their own cocoa beans. No single-use plastic is involved in the process, as the paper used to wrap the chocolate is a mixture of recycled paper and cocoa husks. Cocoa husks are normally thrown away during the chocolate-making process, but this way, it’s given a second purpose in life.

You can arrange to pick up their chocolates in Ivanhoe or order online. Click here to find out more.

3. Atypic Chocolate

The chocolatiers at Atypic focus on ethical sources and fair trade, sustainable practices. They source their beans from our island neighbours in the Pacific. Each source has a distinct flavour profile that is brought out in the creation process.

Atypic uses handcrafting methods at every stage to create high quality chocolate. You can view the entire process at their workshop.
