Just a short 20 minute drive away from Canberra is this little Chocolate chop slash cafe. I have driven past the turn off quite a number of times, and I have made a note that we should drop by and visit with the kids... but the fact that it is just over the border just seems to make it feel far away...
... but on a recent school holiday, whilst my wife was working, I decided to finally follow through and take the kids here. Plus, there was the ulterior motive of getting some really nice chocolates for a Mother's Day present!
The Space
You have to take a short and narrow winding road off the main highway to get here... about 12 kilometres or so, and then off a short track to arrive at this non descript set of buildings and sheds. Thankfully, there is a sign at the turn off...
... and walking around to the front, you can see the seating area. Mostly outdoors, but there are shaded options under the verandah and umbrellas as well... and a small shared table on the inside... but in the autumn/winter sun, it is nicer to be sitting outside!
And it is a nice view to be looking out into! There are cows and horses as well, just around the corner of this photo!
The Food
If you are coming for a drink... then the hot and iced chocolates are the thing to get! After all, you are in a chocolate shop! A block of chocolate, stirred into warm creamy milk! My kids did that... and I should have done something similar, but I wanted a coffee instead... wasn't the best, very creamy but not the best coffee.
There isn't a lunch menu either... so, it is either cakes or chocolates that you are going to have with your warm or cold drink! A chocolate mud cake was the choice of the little one...
... and the older wanted a carrot cake. I didn't know that she liked carrot cake... but I suspect that the huge amount of cream on top was the clincher! But, both cakes were great! I would have preferred the orange and almond one though...
And the real reason that you come out, the hand-crafted chocolates in lots of interesting flavours!
The Experience
Really friendly owner and staff... and the food and drink were great (although, get the hot or iced chocolates instead of coffee!). A really nice afternoon trip, and it isn't really that far away from Canberra!
Will definitely bring my wife back here so that she can also experience the place!

A chocolate shop must be totally a ruin for my diet 🥰🥰🥰 by the way the hot chocolate looks yummy nut also the chocolate cake with the cream, a nice place for kids but also for adults chocolate lovers 🤤🤤
Oh, I think that the prices of the chocolate will keep you from eating too much!
