Koko Black Chocolate

Koko Black is always one of my favourite places to go for hot chocolate. The one on the Royal Arcade is always pack. It's really hard to get a table. I decided to catch a tram to the Koko Black on the Paris end of Collins St. This one has less people. I ordered the traditional Belgium Hot Chocolate and the Caramel Delice. The hot chocolate is great and the caramel delice is good. It's caramel, so expect it to be sweet. After I finished both of them, I honestly sweet out. Hahaha 🤣

FANCY CHOCOLATES AND A GOOD PLACE FOR A BITE AND HOT CHOCOLATE :) Located opposite Collins Place, Koko Black maintains the "luxury" feel of this end of Collins Street. Good range of chocolates, cakes and small pastries. Decent coffees and of course, hot chocolate. For people with mobility issues there is a small step up at entry but otherwise fully flat and ample room to negotiate a wheelchair or frame .

Coming straight from Switzerland and very close from both France and Belgium, I really had high expectations when I came to visit and try Koko Black in Australia as I've been told that the brand was well known for its excellent chocolate. Well I surely haven't been disappointed ! The service was very good, the place is lovely and the chocolates are simply amazing ! I loved it !

The waitress was cold, probably due to a bad morning or something but service wasn’t the best. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Koko Black’s hot chocolate so decided to give this place a go. The drinks came promptly after we ordered, and I couldn’t really taste much of the “54% Belgian chocolate”. All I can taste was sugar and cream and milk, with the faintest hint of chocolate. I couldn’t finish my drink. My mother ordered Mocha and said it was average (I don’t drink coffee so I can’t really say how it was). Plus, it was overpriced and overrated. The place was clean and beautiful, but by 11:30, the place (although not packed) was very loud and noisy, and people have to yell at each other just to converse. It wasn’t a pleasant experience for us and we don’t we will try anymore Koko Black drinks from now on.

Had the Chocolate and Salted Caramel Tart and the Black Forest Cake. The black forest was more mousse than anything, hardly any sponge but it was still good. We also had a Hot Chocolate and a Espresso and Caramel Frappe. I would’ve preferred the espresso and caramel frappe without as much ice as it was hard to drink but it was still good.

Coffee was below average and the milk was full of bubbles. We tried tasting plate because it looked spectacular. Chocolate dome cake was still completely frozen from inside after we pour the chocolate on top of the cake. Next was caramel cake very bland taste. Raspberry sponge cake was dry and chewy and again bland. Chocolate layer cake was very nice, delicious and moist. Definitely recommend. And the last cake that I don't remember the name - round one with wafer in the middle was also tasty. 10 min after we left the place both my husband and I felt stomach ache and we had to run home.
