Chokolait served rich, delectable chocolates and desserts. I’d been here a few times and every time it was a pleasant experience; the chocolate desserts were always thick, rich and creamy, and there were also some non-chocolate based desserts if you’d were after something lighter. Service was friendly, and it was usually pretty quiet and peaceful inside the cafe.
I have a sweet tooth and this place is just perfectly fit me🤗 The lava cake and sticky date pudding was incredible, not too sweet with greta texture. Would definitely come back soon!
The cheesecake was nice but the brownies really stole the show. They were thick and moist. - rich in flavour. The icecream balanced out the richness of the brownies. Simply delicious!!
Rich chocolatey flavour for the hot chocolate and great chocolates. It was really busy as you can see the tables were not cleaned and packed promptly so it looked messy. So maybe more staff?
Super delicious! The matcha lava cake is the best! I highly recommend coming here.
After another session of zooming around my favourite shopping centre, it was time to rest my feet with a coffee and cake. I had a cappuccino which was nice and hot with just the right amount of froth on top. The Chokolait lava pudding - Hojicha Matcha took my breath away. In one word - yum! The pudding was soft and delicious. The lava filling was gooey, sweet and gave me enough energy for another round of shopping!
Mission accomplished!
The chocolate pavlova was so special and out of the world. The waitress gave us a very detailed explanation about the dessert and recommended some other desserts too. Would come back to try the others!
This winter has got me craving for hot chocolate. Recently visited @chokolaitfans to get my chocolate fix. Had to get the best of both worlds, the ice dark chocolate and a dark hot chocolate and it was good. Loved how creamy the dark hot chocolate was, and this is perfect for the dark choco lovers. The ice dark chocolate was nice and the extra chocolatw drizzle on the glass gave it a special touch.
hot chocolate perfection. sublime! i was only sad it had to end haha(like when u are finishing a good book 😁). lovely staff too! ❤️

Came to visit this cafe which specialises in chocolate desserts for dessert in the afternoon.
For two, we ordered:
- Sticky date pudding (for one): out of all three, the sticky date pudding was probably my favourite. The pudding itself was soft and definitely had a date taste to it. The Caramel sauce was what topped the dessert off, it was served warm which complimented the pudding well, but also when poured on top of the ice cream tasted especially nice with the warm and cold together. The sauce can be a bit sweet though, so be careful of how much you pour at once.
- matcha lava cake: to be honest, when I read that it was a ‘lave’ cake, I expected the lava to be on the inside of the cake and ooze out when cut open, however this matcha lava cake had the lava poured on top of it, with nothing in the centre. This dessert is perfect for people who don’t like overly sweet desserts, and the ice cream had the choice of either black sesame or match. The cake itself tasted quite standard, but still delicious, it was a little dense though, but it seemed as if the cake had been made like that in purpose. The strawberry garnish was also nice as it cut through the heaviness of the whole dessert.
- iced fruit tea: with first taste, this is not your normal fruit tea. This one is very tangy and although looks like it’s all foam, it’s actually a whole cup of it. Although it was quite sour, it actually worked out quite nicely as overall the desserts here are on the sweet end and this tea can cut through it perfectly.
Overall, this place is definitely somewhere for a chocolate lover and especially a chocolate dessert lover. Although some of its desserts aren’t the most amazing ones you can find compared to other places, it is still worth a try!
The Choc pavlova is to die for..its not too sweet and unique flavour with choc, berries soft fresh cream. Expensive, yes but great service and lovely desserts.
My dessert happy place! I try to visit at least once a fortnight if not weekly. All desserts are delicious, but my absolute favorites are the Chokolait Pavlova and Tiramisu Cake.
The Chokolait Pavlova is bouncy and slightly chewy. The layers are sprinkled with dark chocolate, topped with thickened cream and fresh strawberries. The flavors are a rounded balance of sweet, bitter and tart, absolutely delightful.
Tiramisu is rich and creamy, the coffee is not overpowering and chocolate coated coffee beans are a treat!
Love it! I mentioned to their staff that I love the semi frozen raspberry mousse and then they gave another small one for me just because I like it!
This is one of my favorite place for my sweet tooth cravings. My favorite menu is the classic Chokolait Pavlova. The texture of the pavlova is so soft. It is covered with vanilla cream that are not too sweet. Then it is filled with the bitter dark chocolate and loads of strawberries. It is so well balanced of sweet, bitter, and sour.
The matcha pavlova were not as good as the Chokolait Pavlova. The matcha cream is weird in taste. But for those who are a big fan of matcha might like it.

I was invited to experience the rainbow pavlova in all its colourful glory and was not disappointed. Not only is it visually stunning but all layers are actually a different delicious flavour. I loved the mango semi freddo accompaniment too.
Another thing you simply must try is the rainbow smoothie. This tastes like a rainbow paddle pop and definitely came with a joyful hint of nostalgia for me. Such fabulous creativity here and we can’t forget about the delectable chocolate ganache truffles. I ate way too many of these little lovelies and they were just heavenly.
Original review
I was invited to Chokolait today to try their new winter desserts and let me start by saying it was one of the most decadent and indulgent chocolate experiences I’ve had. The rich milk hot chocolate was a smooth sensation and I absolutely loved the warm chocolate lava cake.
I definitely recommend getting the vanilla ice cream with this rather then the chocolate to compliment the intense chocolatey flavour. Chocoholics rejoice this will be your happy place, if you are a not a huge chocolate fan well first of all you’re crazy but secondly never fear as there is a huge matcha and roasted green tea range to suit those with less of a sweet tooth, everyone’s happy!
My friends and I finally had the chance to try the Rainbow Pavlova from Chokolait, and it was delicious!! Not only does it look very aesthetic, it didn’t taste overly sweet, which really pleased us. The texture of the cake was similar to spongecake, and was perfectly complemented by the cream and fresh fruit on top. There were also two dollops of semifreddo (mango and raspberry), both of which were very nice, but I personally liked the raspberry one better.
I’m definitely looking forward to coming back for other desserts next time!
Had a great experience at Chokolait! Tried their Matcha Pavlova which is to die for. Melts in your mouth and not too sweet either. Will definitely be back.
Fluffy Pavlova
The signature dish of Chokolate is the "Rainbow Pavlova" surprisingly it wasn't too sweet like I assumed, plated beautifully with sort and fruits this dish is an epic dessert.
Original Pavlova - Alternating layered textures of chocolate and meringue, covered with thick cream and fresh strawberries, drizzled with milk chocolate. Not your usual pavlova. It's one with the lot! Best thing is that it's not too sweet that will make you cringe, it'll just make you crave for more.
The rainbow pavlova is so pretty but couldn't really taste the different flavours in it. It tasted just like the original pavlova but the presentation was really pretty.
One of the most creative dessert joints in Melbourne! We were lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the Rainbow Pavlova for spring! With a different flavour for each colourful layer , this pavlova is definitely the most creative pavlova I've ever seen.
Thanks for having us and we look forward to future creations!

We were lucky enough to attend the VIP launch for the new rainbow pavlova ! The event was very well co-ordinated and a lot of fun, the chocolate here has always been a guilty pleasure of mine and I was thrilled to see so many scattered around for tasting. The pavlova was unlike any I have tried before, the different coloured layers were all their distinct flavour, I really enjoyed this concept and of course the dish
Thanks for having us !

There's two things that I admire in dessert, creativity and technique. Chokolait has this in spades.
This pastry chef / chocolatier has worked all over Asia and you can see that in his outputs, but he also knows his audience, which is at the Emporium, which has a high throughput of Asian customers.
I was invited to the launch of the rainbow pavlova. Ive never seen or had a rainbow pav before, so I was very curious. Each flavour was individually flavoured, but as a whole it was tasty. It was accompanied with a mango and berry semi freddo, stopped with white chocolate, chocolate gold balls and freeze dried berries. Technically brilliant, innovative, well done. A great take on an iconic Australian dessert.
The petit four cakes were particularly good too. Soft sponge, decent flavours and fillings - a plesant experience. The dark chocolate truffles were rich and decadent.
The interior is dark yet warm. It makes you forget that you are in a shopping mall. So if you want something sweet and you are in the CBD, you wouldn't do much wrong going into Chokolait.
If you don’t stop by here and try not only their amazing new dessert, the rainbow pavlova, but also their huge array of chocolates - you’re seriously missing out. The time and effort that goes into each and every one of them really shows up in the flavour of each.
The rainbow pavlova is something to definitely get your hands on though, each different color brings a different flavour making it a truly fun experience.
A great spot for gifts too, for those who love the finer chocolates in life.
Next time you’re at Emporium - treat your tastebuds when your feet are sick of shopping!
Absolutely love the chocolates and other desserts here. A lovely eatery in the very pretty emporium complex. Chokolait have just launched they’re Rainbow Pavlova and it is so lovely. Not too sweet despite the colours, it’s light and airy and well balanced. The mango mousse that comes on the plate was one of my favourite elements and the fresh berries really balanced the dish. Soooo good!
Thanks for having us at your launch!
Chokoliat has just came up with one of the prettiest dessert that I have laid eyes on - the rainbow pavlova. With each layer represented by different flavours and colours, it was a sight to behold. I'm usually not a big fan of pavlova but I was amazed by how light and not overly sweet this was.
Not surprisingly, another offering from Chokoliat that wowed me was the chocolate truffles. So decadent and rich. The matcha mousse cake was delicious too, and I wished that I tried the rest of the mini cakes but I was saving my tummy for the pavlova!
The rainbow milkshake was another beauty. Fruity, and refreshing - it was not just pretty but also tasty.
Thank you for the invite!
Chokolait is a gorgeous chocolate café located in Emporium shopping centre. I had the pleasure of being invited to visit there last night to try the new rainbow pavlova. It was so delicious – so light and fluffy! And the taste of the cream on the top was just beautiful. I love how the layers are all a different flavour. The matcha pavlova is also beautiful and something a bit different. The chocolate truffles are so rich and divine. A really beautiful café :-)

We were invited to join their launch event of the new rainbow pavlova. We got to try their mini cakes, chocolate truffle, tropical rainbow smoothie and the new rainbow pavlova.
We really like the fact that each layer of the smoothie has different tastes. The pavlova was also yummy and not too heavy.
We also got the mini chocolate box to take home, the chocolate was amazing.

We were invited along to Chokolait in the Emporium centre to try out their new rainbow themed desserts, namely the Rainbow Pavlova and the Tropical Rainbow Smoothies. These beautiful looking desserts have several layers of colour in each and while visually they looked stunning it’s also important to note that each layer was flavoured differently.
This meant that in the case of the tropical rainbow smoothie you could move your straw into a different layer in the drink and get a different taste.
The pavlovas where quad coloured and tall marshmallow style pavs with no crisp layer but some amazing decorations and additional including raspberry and mango semifreddo, fresh fruits and other textual elements. We watched these being assembled and it was fascinating to see the effort that went into every dish. much less effort went into consuming these tasty dishes which was the perfect size for sharing between two.
As well as these new desert we also got to sample the chocolate ganache style truffles and multi layered slices which were rich and delicious.
Chokolait’s dark chilli hot chocolate is simply the best hot choc in Melbourne. (If you are into chilli in your hot choc). Silky, dark, full flavoured perfection from the first sip to the last. The service can be a bit frosty but that doesn’t detract from my enjoyment
They have amazing ice chocolates at this place! I also tried some of their gelatos and they were all delicious. I love their variety of chocolate products too. Overall, my experience at this place have all been good so far 😊
The matcha shake I had here was one of the best! Loved the whites chocolate in there as well ! The matcha fondant was also really moist and flavourful however the only let down was that it did not ooze as much as I thought it would
Finally had the chance to have a taste of this matcha lava cake with chocolate mousse in little chocolate cups and a choice of either matcha, houjicha or black sesame ice cream, in this case I got houjicha 🍦 been seeing posts all about it on Facebook and instagram! It was definitely worth it, super delicious. Highly recommend 100%!!
The matcha and hojicha lava pudding is one of my all time favourite desserts, so sad it's only available during winter! It's such an oozy cake, probably more than the chocolate flavour and the matcha sauce inside isn't overly bitter. Really delicious and perfect for the cold weather. Definitely coming back for another one before the end of the month!
Located in the Emporium, we stumble past here by chance and it was not a regret. We loved all the desserts but my favourite was the Chokolait Pavlova and the Sticky date pudding. I have never liked pavlova until I tried the one from here. It’s best to share the desserts with a group of friends. Service was the only let down. Staff was not very helpful with recommendations.
Came here after hearing about the limited edition Winter Warmers menu. I had my eye on the matcha & houjicha lava cake, however after browsing the menu I couldn’t help myself but also try The ‘World Famous’ Chokolait Pavlova, which is their signature dessert.
The pavlova looks very large and dense, however as soon as you cut through it you’ll realise that it’s actually light as a cloud! Super fluffy and airy, and very mildly sweet. The perfect amount of cream and drizzle of chocolate. We quickly devoured it!
The matcha & houjicha lava cake was amazing! It also comes with a small chocolate tart, and your choice of ice cream on the side (we chose houjicha). It’s rich, warm and the chocolate oozes our perfectly. Matcha flavour isn’t too overpowering, and the lava cake goes perfectly with the ice cream!
The staff are very friendly and the venue is cute. Tables are a bit on the small side and it can sometimes get a bit crowded. Overall, a really nice place to indulge in some decadent desserts!
My daughter and I came for afternoon tea and we were very impressed with the delicious cakes and drinks. Staff were very kind and accommodating.
We had the mud cake, which was very rich and decadent but exactly what a mud cake should be. The thickened cream was really good to have to help balance the rich cake.
Great coffee and my daughter had a hojicha hot chocolate. We're not familiar with that flavour but it was delicious, kind of caramel, chocolate and matcha all mixed together.
It's a lovely spot for dessert if you're in the city and so convenient inside Emporium.
Came here because of some gift vouchers, received two courses off the Choklait menu! Really lovely chocolate desserts served additionally with ice-cream and bite-sized chocolate pieces. Thoroughly enjoyed the Hot Chokolait which was creamy and decadent, as well as the fine Belgium chocolate shavings sprinkled on top!
Great Chokolait cakes at affordable pricing, apparently they use the top of the line quality and materials and you can tell through the taste of each cake. Top place.
OMG! The best Pavlova in Melbourne! We tried both the chocolate and matcha and just wow! Hot chocolates, sticky puddings, the works! A must for any chocolate lover!
Love this place! Great cakes, chocolates and drinks!
We tried their new winter desserts and it was one of the most decadent and indulgent chocolate experiences I’ve had.

Love this place! Great cakes, chocolates and drinks!
I know that my friends can sometimes find the desserts very dense and too sweet. I’m a huge sweet tooth so I don’t notice!
Especially impressed with their new special “Winter Warmers” menu, which includes lava cake and ice cream. I choose the matcha cake and green tea ice cream, but there are also the chocolate lava cake or Hojicha ice cream options. The technique used for the various components results in smooth ice cream, lava cake with a runny centre and well balanced flavours, and a wonderful addition of a tart with a well-tempered chocolate base.
The tiramisu was also great. A lot of cream though, so beware.
Overall, the usual cakes and drinks aren’t the most intricately complex desserts; but very much a place to go to if you feel you need some indulgence.
Didn't know about this place until it popped up on my Facebook. I am not the biggest fan matcha but I tried the Hojicha and as it was recommended and it was amazing! Highly recommend, it was yummmy!
The environment and chef is always very friendly every time I come visit and the presentation of the desserts are very appealing. Definitely a good location to have a catch up with family and/or friends!
Good decorations, but just looks not like chocolate shop. We order matcha pavlova to share, strong matcha cream to lighten sweetness. We both love the cherry for the decorations, it tastes uniquely.
Really really good ice matcha chokolait! The place is a little small but quick service for a take away drinks. Can get busy during the weekends
Matcha Pavlova, It original cake with pure matcha cream. tasting it delicious, particularly mixed it. although sometimes I found the cake is not like traditional sale pavlova, maybe they should notice it.
Chocolate mud cake is rich and yummy but is balanced out with the cream, highly recommend. The presentation of all their desserts are very detailed as well. The drinks however are quite pricey but the size is fairly big. The staff there are friendly and were smiling as well. It isn’t a place I would go to often because of the price but I would go occasionally.
Environment: 4.0 pretty good
Service: 3.0 order in the counter rather than in our own table
Choices: 3.0 narrow range, doesn’t have lots of choices
Location: 4.0 very convenient

2. Chocolate pavlova - 3.0 chocolate 👍🏻
3. Matcha Pavlova - 3.5 matcha is not sweet 👍🏻 stunning display
4. Chocolate Mousse Cake - 4.0 moist and rich chocolate sponge cake with caramel chocolate sauce and serve with vanilla ice cream, excellent sensation of cold and hot combination 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What a chocolate indulgence. Felt so wrong to enjoy such a hefty amount of sweet, rich, intense and dark chocolate. But, that was the point right? Tried the Choco Fondue and Iced Chocolate. Loved the little madeleines to be dipped in the melted chocolate syrup. Iced Chocolate was awesome. Sweet.
OMG the best vegan hot chocolate in Melbourne, ask for dark with soy milk and enjoy. So thick and decadent, I like it with chilli or Jaffa flavour 💯
Pretty good hot chocolates. Whilst I haven't had the time to sample their yum-looking matcha pavlova, I did try their Mochaccino. Definitely wasn't expecting how sweet it would be. They 'coat' the cup in their signature melted chocolate so the drink really was more of a hot chocolate with slight hints of coffee. Still, a decent cuppa though.
I love the chocolate drinks and desserts from here. Yes it pricey and abit sweet for some people but I like my desserts sweet.
We order 2 hot chocolate: classic milk and dark, Chokolait sticky date delights served with vanilla ice-cream and smoother in butter scotch sauce, and the Chokolait mousse cake.
The hot chocolate was sweet and rich and the dessert was soft, rich and delicious.
The place look more fancy out side but when you go in side the place look normal. Customer service was ok but you have to order and pay at the front counter. They should have someone come and take order from your tables because this place is not cheap. 😀😋
I can only speak on behalf of what I tried and though on the pricey side - it was worth it for a special occasion. Their signature pavlova was indeed very different but tasty. The marshmallow like texture was soft and airy, while the strawberries and unsweetened cream cut through the sweetness. I loved the suprise layer of chocolate within the cake and it was a perfect size to share with another person. It doesn't look that big but if you're ordering other things it's perfect to share. I also tried the matcha truffle - it was expensive for the size and for what it is but it was amazing. True matcha flavour and the bitterness was perfect. The texture was melting in your mouth and I loved it. I wouldn't come here regularly but if you're after a treat and willing to fork out more money then I'd give this a try. Service was also friendly.
yum, the perfect place for afternoon tea. The pavlova is not too sweet, it just perfect. 🍓 chocolate will look better with a 🍓 on the beautiful glass
Great place for chilling out, I'm a huge fan of matcha so I ordered Matcha Pavlova & also Iced Matcha Chocolate and shared them with my sis. The Pavlova design is so cute, I must say everything there are made with effort! ❤ Price of the desserts there are decent to overprice but for a dessert lover like me I would be eager to pay for great desserts. 😂😂😂 Would definitely come back again to try out their other desserts 😊❤
Stop by to make our stomach happy😂.. my boyfriend really loves chocolate so I took him here. Mine is the rapsberry dish and his was something chocolate (I'm sorry guys, can't remember the name!) it was okay for me but fabulous for my boyfriend! We were happy for these dishes
signature pavlova was absolutely delicious and I loved their matcha collection (I ordered hot matcha and matcha pavlova)
the only downside would be the price as it's definitely on the steep side (almost $20 for the matcha pavlova)
Overall: Fantastic for a treat! Very rich.. Crowded atmosphere, their other place in the arcade is more cosy.
Food: Chocolate cake. Mmmmm. So good...
Drink: Cinnamon hot chocolate is the winner!! Every time 😁. Iced chocolate is great too. Decent serving, considering how rich it all is.
Service: Good, but expect to wait in line for a table/to order, and even longer for the goods to come out. Try approaching staff for a table straight away, and have a friend jump in the queue.
Months have passed, between swapping Daisy Dukes and Havaianas for goose down jackets and granny sweaters. I don’t mind winter. The family gets together for hot pot, it’s snowing in Cradle Mountain and I can finally wear my overpriced jackets #totesfashun. Amongst the circadian shift towards comfort food, hot chocolates have a childish appeal. In true Melbourne style, hot chocolate is OTT (that’s....

We came as a large group and ordered a wide variety of desserts from their menu. It took about half an hour to get half the dishes plus another 20 minutes for the remainder. Even the drinks took a while but we put that down to the fact that we were such a big group.
The standouts were the matcha magic menu items. The matcha pavlova in particular was a real favourite of the night. 5/5
I also loved the mud cake although it was much too rich for others. The sticky date pudding was also well received as was the cheesecake. 4/5
What we didn't enjoy so much were the chocolate mousse. In comparison to the other dishes, it failed to impress. 3/5
Service was OK but they must've been super busy for us to have such a long wait time for food. 3/5
1st time here and ohhhh will be back soon again! Had the Groupon coupon, had the milk and dark Belgium hot chocolate. Took my first sip of the hot chocolate, oohhhh man it was so good!!! So rich in flavour, had to drink it slowly or else I would have demolished the drink before the cakes come. I had the passionfruit, chocolate, greentea and strawberry cake. flavour of each cake was very nice, my favourite would be the passionfruit one because it matches well with the drinks.

Love love this place, tried their matcha menu and I think this place is my favourite to go for Matcha 🍵 yummmmm it's a must to try 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
They make the best hot chocolate I've ever had! I felt like a kid again.
Price wise is the only thing that would stop me from coming here very often but I will be back when I'm in the emporium in the evening.
Take your lover, friends or family here for some good hot chocolate.
I'm keen to try out the match pavlova next!
Good spot for a break from CBD shopping, iced chocolate is thick and rich. Pavlova isn't overly sweet and is surprisingly light, but the generous helping proved overwhelming in the end. Would return.
If you haven't tried pavlova yet you must visit here to try!!
The strawberry pavlova tastes amaizng and the best I ever tried!! My favourite place to get desserts♡
General feel and deco
- Spacious area with plenty of seating
- Light is on the darker side
- Deco was lovely (Cute bow on the main window making it look like the store was a giant chocolate box)
Service
- Staff were friendly and welcoming
- Pastry Chief was lovely (would engage with customers and had a great personality)
Food
- Tried the new item on the menu -- Match Pavlova -- which was divine (fluffy, moist and aesthetically appealing)
- Dessert was presented well
- Dessert was cut in half so it was evenly distributed and easy for the two of us to consume
- Price was decent considering the portion size, however looking at the prices of the other items i felt they were a bit overpriced
One of my favo hot chocolate place!! I love those milk belgian hot chocolate drink, thick and gooey . Its pricey but its worth your money!! 😍😍😍 totally define chocolate drink. Im so happy that they opened another branch in Emporium. Their first store is hidden but of course I found them
I visit CBD nearly every week for work, chokolait is my favourite place to relax during tea break, the environment is chill and classy. The quality of the cakes are second to none, i have three favourites so far: choc mud, red velvet and raspberry mousse cake, it's been a year i keep ordering the same cakes because they are that good! This year i will aim to taste some of the other things on the menu, good times ahead! Thank you for the friendly service, see you next week.
It's said that the best thing in life is dessert..& it's absolutely true when I checked into this cafe.such an amazing,finger licking pavlova & hot chocolate drinks that relaxed my hungry soul after a long time..

Shoppers can get their chocolate fix right at Emporium at the family-owned Chokolait. A range of hand-crafted chocolates, cakes, ice creams, desserts and drinks are available for selection at this small boutique. Chocolate Mud Cake. Sticky Date Pudding. Various dessert ‘indulgences’ can be purchased individually. Alternatively, you can experience a tasting platter instead.
We decided to have coffee and tried the sticky date pudding. I like the set up of the place, there was an area in the corner called the vault which is great for big groups. Anyway the sticky date was delicious, it just had the right sweetness.
Came here with the coupon that gave the platter with an assortment of cake, chocolates and icecream. The tiramisu was a tad bland, but the red velvet and matcha cakes were creamy and rich. Fell in love with the mango and chocolate ice creams also. Got a hot chocolate and my friend got an iced chocolate alongside the platter and both were very rich - very decadent! The gift box with the assortment of chocolates was a nice bonus too. Don't think it's worth the price, but for a coffee date or to treat yourself, it's a pretty decent spread.
My favorite hot chocolate in the city! I like the hot milk chocolate, the the cup size is quite good and a nice place to see friends who loves chocolates!
This place should be packed. The hot chocolate was amazing. They even have a grumpy looking European man in the back to give it authenticity. I'm hooked.
I absolutely love their hot chocolate - it's perfect, sweet and just filled with deliciousness! It's my favorite hot chocolate spot in Melbourne. Note the hot chocolate is very rich - so not an everyday treat :) I haven't tried the chocolates, cakes or other sweet items (planning to come back and try a few).
If you love chocolate everything, this is the place for you! I ordered the iced dark choc & pavlova. They were both yummy, but could only half of each. Great place to share a dessert x
Best hot chocolate in Melbourne. Period. (Sorry Mork, I still love you!)
The Dark hot chocolate is simply divine! Rich, creamy, a little sweet but mostly delicious, smooth, quality dark chocolate. Their Milk hot chocolate is also fantastic but a little one the sweet side for my tastes and if you're up for something cool, their Iced chocolates are a great choice too!
I just keep going back, the perfect mid-city pick-me-up!
If you love chocolate (and cream... I love whipped cream and double cream :p), the mud cake is a must try! The best mudcake i've ever had... I recommend going with a friend so you can share a couple of things... The Chokolait mousse cake is also really good. (If you're like me and don't usually go for mud cake cos you don't think it's worth choosing over something else... you will be pleasently surprised)
For all the chocolate lovers out there, you won't be disappointed. Had the tasting plate with chocolate and strawberry mousse, raspberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream. Well matched flavours which were paired with an iced milk chocolate. The iced chocolate was like an ice blended frappe style with bits chocolate throughout. Everything was very sweet and I couldn't finish my drink as it was a bit too much of a chocolate overload. I enjoyed my visit and it's a nice spot for indulgence.
Used Groupon vouchers to try this rather pricey chocolate shop.
Was presenting hastily with tasting Platters of various Ice Creams, Mousse and Chocolates, that would satisfy any sweet tooth.
Now wash all this sugar down with more sugar in the form of either hot or iced Chocolate drinks and we're nearly sugared out.
The Dark Hot Chocolate is very rich and dense, near the stage of melted Chocolate.
A take-away box of 9 Chocolates summarises this sweet experience, leaving us strutting out on sugar highs.
Time to spoil yourself, indulge, yummy silky tasty chocolate.Used my Groupon deal, it was absolutely awesome value, The service was quick and the place was beautiful, easter is coming up so lots of Easter chocolate bunnies decorated everywhere. They also have beautiful chocolate boxes to take with you. I had the hot chocolate and it was divine. Recommend this beautiful chocolate and coffee shop. Indulge❤️
Yummy yummy yummy, great value, very fresh chocolates,will go again soon. Highly recommend.
Good location and service. Nice surroundings.
Even gave us chocolates to take home.
I've been here several times, and it's a great spot to enjoy some sweets. But be warned, you may make yourself ill by indulging too much.
It's a convenient location, though I would try and avoid peak times for the best ambiance. I've been during rush periods and had trouble with the quality of service; drinks delivered at different times, both before and after the meal, which is irritating when you're in a group.
We had the summer tasting plate. It was a good mix of flavours - chocolates, chocolate mousse, raspberry sorbet, strawberry mousse in a chocolate basket and vanilla ice cream. This prevented an overdose of chocolate. We couldn't fault any of the things we were served. My husband had a mocha, which he enjoyed. I had the fruit delight, which was also nice. The only drawback was that my drink was not served until after we had finished everything else and we thought it had been forgotten. I'd go back and have this again.
The final stop in my city adventure with my friend is at Chokolait at the Emporium. I have tried their hot chocolates before in the other Chokolait and I still find their hot chocolate the best in Melbourne! My friend and I decided to try their desserts. My dessert for today was their signature pavlova. Their pavlova was pure meringue with a few thin layers of chocolate, and decorated with strawberries, cream, and chocolate drizzle. This pavalova was absolutely light, fluffy, and has the right amount of sweetness throughout. I would also like to say that the presentation was absolutely beautiful! I really enjoyed this place and I cannot wait to return and reunite with their hot chocolate!
When you are craving for chocolate, this is the place to go. I heard that australia is famous with their pavlova, chokolait has the best pavlova i've ever taste. It looks pretty too. The owner is very friendly and nice. Good place to chill out with your friends even though it is inside a mall.
My sister recommended me to try the mouthwatering pavlova at Chokolait and here I am trying to describe how delectable it was. Chokolait Pavlova ($12.95). The slice was incredibly fluffy. There was a glorious proportion of cream and sweetness, and also some interesting crisp. There were a few pieces of strawberries that neutralized the rich flavor of the pavlova. It was a modern twist on an angelic pavlova.
Having a iced chocolate and mug cake. The iced chocolate is rich in mouthfeel. Mug cake is really moisture, u wont feel dry or sticky in ur mouth. Will visit again if I travel to Melbourn
Just came here with my daughter as we were given a voucher. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Friendly staff and excellent food exceptionally presented.
If you have a sweet tooth you will be very happy! The food is great and the presentation is great too! I highly recommend you visit after a day of shopping
Please don't go passed the chokolait pavlova. More pavlova than chocolate, I've never seen anything like it. Good assortment of desserts, truffles and gifts.
Call me biased, but I've been a fan of Chokolait ever since their main branch in Little Collins Street. The Emporium branch, I'm pleased to say, does not disappoint!
I love their hot chocolates. Some say it's too sweet (even for the dark), but being a sweets connoisseur, I find the sweetness level of the dark chocolate spot on.
The drink's texture is very smooth and velvety; each sip sending a rejuvenating jolt to your senses. Yes, it's that good! However it is an immensely rich indulgence- felt like I've drank a glass of pure melted chocolate.
Their iced chocolates are delicious too. Nothing short of chocolatey goodness.
Their tasting plates were also pretty good; maybe the serves can be slightly bigger. Delicious nevertheless!
Overall, Chokolait definitely concocts the best hot chocolate in town. Although the price-tag is hefty, it's definitely a rewarding one-in-a-while experience!
It is good for the chocolate lover... Hot chocolate is delicious especially dark hot chocolate... If the winter is coming, it is the right choice to order...
I received a gift voucher for two and decided to treat a friend. We had the platter with 2 drinks. Got a box of truffles to take home as part of the voucher.
Everything was definitely over the line - so many sweets calories to consume. So yummy!
Went for dessert after a day in the city. Had the Iced Chocolate Jaffa, while my friend had an Iced Chocolate Mocha. It was exactly what it said it would be. A tall glass of chocolate milk, jaffa flavoured. There were little pieces of ice in it as well as chocolate pieces and it was rich and nice. The ice pieces - ground ice - did detract slightly as they watered down the flavour and I might have preferred larger ice cubes but the day was warmish so it was all good. Probably go back if I was passing.
really friendly staff and the atmosphere of the cafe was really nice and chill. Ordered their pavlova and didnt expected it to be that good :) all and all a fantastic experience and would go again for a third time ;)
It is one of my best memory in Melbourne, I will never forget the amazing taste from iced chocolate which I always have when I come back, I always sit in the back right hand side where is my first time to chat with my lover
The food and drinks here were amazing! It's just a bit of a shame it was so busy, the staff seemed flustered and it was so busy we lined up for what felt like ages and when we got to the counter I asked for a seat and a menu, but because we had a voucher, we were told just to quickly order a hot or cold drink. It was a bit disappointing but in the end, the food was great. We paid $29 for a winters tasting plate, 2 drinks and a takeaway box of chocolates. I thought it was a bit much to pay for an afternoon tea of basically fancy coffee and cake, let alone if we paid full price of nearly $70. Still quite a pleasant experience.
My friend brought me over to Chokolait to try their signature Pavlova. Shame on me, as a food blogger, I have only just recently tried one because my initial thought was that its just a meringue based cake topped with whipped cream, how good can that be? I imagine a really big macaron without jam, and that's not pleasant isn't it? Well, I was mistaken. The layered meringue was light, some parts were blowtorched which created texture and a whole different flavour. Chokolait used double cream, chocolates and fresh strawberries to decorate the dish, and I thought it was absolutely beautiful and delicious.

My go to place for cake dates. With a selection of chocolates that always turn too when in need of a nice gift and a sneaky treat for myself. My favourite chocolate is without a doubt the white chocolate pandan. My go to drink the hot chocolate which is miles ahead of max brenner. I always looking forward to the service of the chocolatier he always has a smile on his face and is always very helpful. Thier mudcake is to die for please try it!
The Hot Chocolate was excellent. Well balanced tasting plates! Nice and cosy atmosphere. Will definitely be back to try something different.
famous for their pavlova, but unfortunately we did not try it. we went for their cherry dark chocolate, sticky date pudding and iced chocolate drink. All 3 items were great and we enjoyed chilling at the cafe.
Where can you find the best iced dark chocolate. This is the ultimate place to be. Been a frequent fan of this place for years n now, it's @ the emporium. I would follow him .... The owner, who's taking charge here. His wife is still looking after their first store also in the city. You simply don't visit this place without trying their signature iced chocolate. Desserts are also very good here. While a visit if you are in town.
This place can't seem to go wrong. I've been several times now and each time the tea and coffee was great, and the service was friendly and fast. And the cakes. Oh my good god the cakes. Ordered something different each time and was never upset with what I got.
So do yourself a favor go here and have the chocolate cake. You'll never be able to have mud cake anywhere else ever again.
My wife and I enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate. The selection of chocolates was limited but the desserts looked nice. Would visit again and try a dessert next time.
Really like their chocolates. Really nice especially the pandan one and hazelnut ones. :) would defs be coming back for more chocolates :)!!!!
Been to this place a couple of times now...the coffee and the teas are great. The cheesecake in the pic was ok (but too savory instead of sweet) you can definitely taste the cheese. My friend had the merengue cake which was really yummy, very fluffy and light tasting.

GOOD DESSERTS, COOL PLACE, OK SERVICE -- I was pleasantly surprised by the cool colourful place, the vibrant ambience, and the variety of patrons. The seating area is a bit reduced but well used with plenty of two-people tables. Chokolait has traditional favourite desserts well done and mindfully presented and served.
The desserts on display, the one I and my fellow-customers looked fabulous and decadent, colourful and yummy. Everybody was saying, "this is so good".
I had the Raspberry Mousse with lychee pannacotta and a sponge-like base in a glass and plated with fresh strawberries and cream. It looked fabulous and it was great regarding flavour and textures and not heavy or overwhelming.
Most sweets in Chokolait are there to please you, so they look great, taste great and they are huge! Huge is the new posh :D. Some of the dishes are way enough for two people, like the chocolate brownies plate. I could not finish my dessert, something I can rarely say these days.
Pricing is very good for such good generous desserts.
They sell Belgian chocolates, as well. I took a several home and they are very nice. My favourite is the Pandang flavour.
The staff were matter of fact and a bit unfriendly, which is a pity. However, service was prompt despite the constant flow of customers, something I am always appreciate.
This is a great place for traditional desserts and chocolates in the heart of the CBD, at good prices and decent portion sizes. I haven't tried their hot chocolates, so a reason to come back.
Chokolait offers premium chocolate beverages, as well as desserts. The space is quite crowded, and we had to wait roughly ten minutes for a space as they were very busy when we visited. Service is varied between the staff members, they were all friendly but could have been a bit more attentive, although the wait for orders was not long, despite having many customers. We decided to order a milk hot chocolate ($7) and a milk affogato ($7.50). Both used the same Belgian chocolate, which had a certain depth of flavour and richness which I really enjoyed. Personally, I preferred the taste of the chocolate served at the hot chocolate temperature, as opposed to the cooler temperature in the affogato. However, the ice cream did reduce the richness and sweetness of the chocolate, which may become a bit overwhelming near the end of the drink.
The chocolate is great and the chocolate platter is beautifully plate. A nice place to relax. The sorbet also taste great. The owner personally served the food (when we went there it wasn't busy, so maybe the owner has time to actually chat with the customers). The hot chocolate is great as well.
This is a modern chocolate based drink/food in Melbourne. As of all modern style cafe, the place is cozy with soft music. A perfect place to relax with family or friends.
Iced chocolate is very good! Their pavlova and chocolate mousse is just ok.. Nothing special. Quite pricey though, maybe they can lower down the price. Just coming back for their iced chocolate.
Excellent customer service and ambience. The rich aroma of cocoa really hits you as you enter the shop. The pavlova slice was light and enjoyable. A bit on the pricey side ($12.95) but overall a good experience.

We recieved a chokolait platter, 2 milk iced chocolates and a box of truffles with our groupon voucher. The chokolait platter was nicely presented and taste devine. The milk iced chocolate was have to be my favourite, finished it before the arrival of the chokolait platter! The small box of truffles contained some interesting flavours of truffles. Hmmm

I'm a coffee toff but I like it here. I’m more of a coffee person than a choc-drinker. I’ll take chocolate in any other context, but not usually in a cup. However, I stopped here with a coffee meet-up group and loved my classic dark chocolate drink -- so rich! I'll take Chokolait's drinks over the thick muddy stuff from San Churro any day.
Even better was the Pavlova. I’m not keen on Australia’s national dessert because crunchy meringue and fruit does not do much for me. I had my mind set on something else, but when I stepped to the counter and saw how huge these slices were, I had to go for one. It was massive, relatively light for its size, and the meringue was soft, not stiff. Bonus points for the fruit and chocolate they wove into it. It’s definitely not the traditional Pav, which is why it went down so well with me. Chokolait is not cheap -- $12.95 for the Pavlova, $7.00 for the basic chokkie drink (more if you choose fancy options like “single country of origin” chocolate.) If you can afford to shop at Emporium, though, this place won't break you.
The best hot chocolate ever!!!. My family and I have been regulars at chokolait for about 5yrs. We were happy to discover they now have another store at emporium. You will find no better hot chocolate in town! Highly recommended!!!! Everything that we have had there is delicious and the owners and staff are lovely!
Best chocolate drink and deserts ever tried!!!!. My husband and I went there using a Groupon voucher. We were served well and the staffs were very friendly. I got the hot dark chocolate drink which was indeed divine!!!... while my husband chose the iced milk chocolate which he really liked. The desert platter was also delicious and well presented. After almost two hours of pure chocolate goodness (and chitchat of course), we went home full and satisfied (happy tummy!). We also got a take-home box of chocolate samples (yehey!!! can't get enough). Tried them after dinner and we loved all of them...so yummy. Can't wait to go back soon.
Overall, the experience was fantastic. Excellent service as well. We'll definitely recommend it...the boxes of chocolates are good gift ideas too.
Regular eater of your pavlova. A pricey but lovely restaurant. I come back here frequently as the pavlova is so fluffy and delicious. The hot chocolate however had flavour that was a bit intense for me. Otherwise, a must try for all chocolate and dessert fans.
Best chocolate in Melbourne .... Best chocolate in Melbourne
We had the yummiest pavlova and dark hot chocolate. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had to wait for a bit due to long queue but was all worth it. Defs come back
Test your liver health. This new venue looks fantastic: modern, warm, set in multiple “rooms” cutting noise and taking retail/ordering traffic away from the tables. A lot more cakes however quite expensive (around $13 for small slices); the chocolates and drinks are the same excellent quality at a very competitive price ($2.20 per). Love the chocolate fondue, somehow Chokolait managed to find the sweetest flavoursome strawberries in winter; it looks good and it feeds two, see photo. Five stars and a liver failure.
Stunning as always! If you like chocolate go no further than here, you will not be disappointed
Came in today for my weekly chocolatey indulgence and was more than satisfied with the Chokolait Mousse. The dessert was extremely pleasurable, the staff very friendly and the service great. The chilled atmosphere suited me well and is definitely a cafe I shall be revisiting.
Went on a busy Saturday after a day of shopping for a fuel stop. Was promptly served - iced chocolate is to die for! Can't wait to come back and try a dessert!
Wow the new shop is awesome!. If you need to get your chololate on you must visit the new Chokolait in the Emporium it is the choclate experiece in Melbourne!
Second To None?. Heaven is an aspirational destination for some but few would want to arrive early.
But not this heaven!
The hot chocolate is to die for.
Drawing the first gulp will transcend one instantly into heaven.
This chocolate heaven is paved with lush surrounds, soft ambience and....
wicked chokolaitiers!
Long time fans of Chokolait would have frequented the original store when it was known as “The Chokolait Hub” and was managed by both Ross and his wife. The business has now expanded to a second store in Emporium, but both stores are still run by the original owners, which means that Chokolait hasn’t lost it’s friendly vibe...
Best mocha and chocolate I’ve had in over 4 continents. Definitely worth a trip. Would be a regular if I was a Aussie living here!
OMG the chili chocolate is awesome! I only had a level 3 and it defo has a bite to it. Wish I bumped it up to 5 but for newbies go for level 3. Lovely service and cozy nook too. I forgot I was in the Melb CBD with the quietness here
Best hot milk chocolate can be found here. I came here alot for it. As for the rest of the things, especially sweets do not recommend them.
Their hot chocolate is very nice and thick. Ice chocolate is nice as well. And you have a try their desserts.
Top little place. The quality of the chocolate here-Belgium, I believe-justifies the prices. ☕️ coffee (had a latte) was great. They have terrific gift boxed chocs as well. A little hard to find but they have a directional piece in the Royal arcade and on little Collins St.

Expensive but very nice, fabulous hot chocs (we tried dark & milk) dark was too full on for me but hubby loved it. Velvet chocolate cake was sooo good. Closest we've found to a great hot choc like we get at Nut Patch in Tas.
Easily one of the nicest hot chocolates I've had. It is very rich and sweet, but I loved it. It's quite heavy, so I'd recommend sharing it.
