This nondescript little store hides a plethora of treats inside, and if you are a lover of sweets, then Ganache Chocolate has you covered. With shelves lined with beautiful chocolates and a few small marble bistro tables, this is a lovely place to stop for a treat. The interior definitely has a Parisian flair, and it is elegant but cosy.
The cakes and pastries are divine to look at, and it's very difficult to choose. We settled upon a passion fruit sponge and mousse cake which not only was very pretty, but delightful to eat. The tangy passion fruit was sublime.
Our coffee came with complimentary amaretti cookies, and they too were delicious; as was the coffee. We were served by a lovely lady who was helpful and friendly, and we enjoyed our experience enough to definitely come back again.
Was introduced to this place by a friend. Located conveniently on Toorak Rd, this place serves a variety of hot chocolate ☕️ I specifically recalled that they had this variation of spicy hot chocolate in which I gave it a try. Surprisingly it was made well, had a good balance of spicy & chocolate that it did not overthrow the other flavours.

Bought a Triple Mousse cake for husband's birthday. Must say it was to die for. We devoured every bite.
Yum yum yum! Not as sweet as you’d expect which was nice, meant we could fit everything in! Such good value, $39pp! Yum! Needs scones though!
I've always loved Ganache and their hot chocolates! Their hot chocolates are a must try, especially the original and salted caramel! Cakes are also delicious. A bit on the expensive side but very much worth it. Love how they have smaller sizes that are good for one.
Cakes: 4 Service : 0.5 , total: 4.5. The cakes are so delicately baked and make with so much precision. The amount of biscuit base, mousse, sponge and chocolate are so evenly balanced. When the chocolate cake..especially the halzenut one..touches your mouth, they just gently melts. So delightful. A piece of edible Art. Love them
Passed this place after dinner and looking on very attractive chocolate display on the windows, and decided to come in.
There is chocolate wrapped in popcorn... what?!? That’s genius idea!
Anyway did order their house special mocha, which were deliciously good up to last drop.
Not only that my friends, it’s just under $5 which is cheap and affordable.
Bought also salted caramel dark chocolate and cherry liquor dark chocolate, both taste amazing.
Love the intensity of cherry liquor, and generous amount too.
One of my favourite chocolate cafes in Melbourne is Ganache at South Yarra (the other being the Ganache in the CBD)! Located at the intersection of Toorak Rd and Chapel St - the fashion and food precinct of Melbourne - this cafe offers abundant seating for the entire family. And if you are lucky you might even catch a glimpse of chocolatier Arno Backes - a true inspiration to us all, a survivor! @Arno loved your work on #sharktank - you deserve all the support and more!
Purchased fifth avenue cake for my dad in law's birthday. It looked and tasted beautiful. I usually find sweets in Western countries too sweet, but this cake was very pleasant to eat! It had crunchy component at the bottom of it, which was unexpected :) Definitely will try other cakes in future.
Hot chocolate to die for!
Not too sweet, silky smooth, consistent, tasty and perfectly heated.
Everything right with this one! Mmmmmmm!!!!!
Would highly recommend this as a post-dinner stop!
The hot chocolates here are great. I always enjoy sitting in and trying out some of their variety of chocolate. The service is lacking sometimes, they seem tired and not very friendly.
My guilty pleasure. I come here for the beautiful desserts, marvellous macarons (love lavender!) and delicious hot chocolate.
Delicious! You get heaps of food and a good variety of things. We couldn't eat it all so we took home what was left. Drinks were delicious as well. Staff were lovely.
