Love this place!
My guily pleasure, this is where i would go if i wanted to treat myself to a nice hot submarino. Only downfall is limited tables…

I Had a Chocolate tart was yummy!

I could’ve enjoyed more if the place was bit spacious. i could hear each n everything out loud, right into my ears what the man was talking who was sitting right next to my table.

Would come back but won’t mind having a seat.

3 tables inside and 5 outside. It is winter so I would of expected a gas heater outside for the customers – but no. If there had of been heaters outside we would of stayed around longer and spent more money. It had rained at some stage and I would of expected the staff to come and wipe the water from seats and tables – but no we had to ask for a towel and do it ourselves – so no customer service in this place. The furniture is old and the menu old and worn out – need new ones!!
First impressions mean alot.
Cons
The hot chocolate was very good and the merchandise great.
Chocolate Boutique you need to talk to your staff and retrain them re customer service.

I’ve always loved Chocolate Boutique, its so unique to
Auckland and to chocolate lovers!

The chocolate recipes on the menu are very delicious and wonderfully affordable making it very popular with the locals, hence the queue during every weekends at night.

Despite the place being small and cannot necessarily accommodate all their customers during semi-busy to very busy hours, it is understandable that the owner cannot do any cafe extensions due to the landlord and rental agreement.

However the furniture and fittings can be a bit on the rough side with duck tape taping down the ripped edges of seats and nurturing rust on the steel legs of their eating tables.

The display of stock by the kitchen is also displayed boldly for anyone to see when entering the cafe, also an unnecessary visual for the dining customers.

It is usually over staffed at times when its not of busy hours where often two of the waitresses chats at the kitchen free-handedly while one waitress runs around to serve the customers.

Overall, the food is great, price is great, location is excellent with beautiful interior and exterior villa design, however the “rustic furniture” can be a bit of a down-side to the cafe to experience as it is not the type of furniture to suit the lovely place.

The Chocolate Boutique is always full and it takes patience to get a table in this lovely tiny villa.

On my 3rd visit to Chocolate Boutique I finally managed to get a table inside after lingering around the counter reading the menu for 5 minutes. I decided to take the opportunity to order a dessert that I otherwise couldn’t have without a table. I had a chocolate waffle that was very delightful and affordable. I wanted to try everything on the menu but that is simply impossible. I would definitely return to try their drinks.

you can get some amazing products at this shop. not the cheapest but the quality is right up there with anywhere I have seen. Nice place to go for desert and a hot chocolate.

I love this place!
An awesome place to come have a yummy dessert.
The best is their Sticky Date Pudding, Rasberry & Chocolate Tart and their Milk Submarino drinks(come with melted choc in hot milk).
I also love their waffles and Sundae’s.
Excellent prices nothing over about $10.
The also have gourmet chocolates you can pick out and take home along with a few shleves of lollies in glass jars you can pick from too.
Loads of presents and tones of variety
Gets busy after 8pm so come early.
Highly recommended.
