Koko Black | South Yarra

The Verdict

When it comes to chocolate shops, there may not be two more exciting words than “flagship store”, and Koko Black has opened theirs right in the heart of South Yarra.

The store features all your favourites; marbles, dotties, bites and gift boxes as well as over 42 hand-craft pralines in what can only be described as a chocoholics paradise. One dedicated wall alone contains over 700+ chocolate blocks in 25 different flavours. 

All sound a bit much and need to take a seat? The new store introduces the first-ever Koko Chocolate Bar, slinging their signature Belgian Hot Chocolates. The bar seats eight people, or you can head to the outdoor seating area with a delicious milkshake or ice-cream with views overlooking Toorak Road. Featuring beautiful six-metre-high ceilings built with Australian timber and custom-made fixtures and lighting, the new store highlights the best of an Aussie-owned, Victorian-made product right in the middle of bustling Chapel St.
