Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Icecreamerie Review

The location is beautiful, the staff were very friendly and helpful and of course the chocolate is the best! The cafe food was very reasonably priced and great quality. Definitely coming back once their new renovated cafe opens! If you get the chance, they have gourmet chocolate tastings for $3 if you don't know what to pick.

Nice views and ok icecream, only 2 sorbets to choose from today, bit of a shame. Ice creams very solid, not soft all way through like the many other artisan quality places. I think the rave reviews are probably intoxicated more so by the nice views than the product. Can't comment on the chocolate factory as it was busy and no opportunity to taste but all looked very nice.

Exciting and lot of different chocolates to choose from. Chocolate lovers dream in one place!

Visited in December and it was packed. Lots of tourists plus locals. It was a hot day and so it was awesome to drink and eat cold sweet items. Lots of variety of chocolate and related items. There was some observation windows to see how the chocolates are made. Staff are nice. Items are not expensive and not cheap either.

We loved it. Savoury food was delightful, icecream incredible, brownie was irresistible!!

Enjoyed a tasting chocolate & make your own rocky road experience here. Was fun & the staff extremely pleasant. Could of spent a lot of money on their chocolate range. Fab place

Was pretty good but pricey. Fairly popular during weekends/public holidays, particularly on a good day. Should be good for a visit if you're visiting the area with kids.

Just visited the chocolate factory. Nice space, lots of parking space. today was weekday and rainy but it was still relatively busy. Love the chocolate ! Nice to be able to watch them do it too.

Trylly enjoyed my favourite ice cream and cakes. Ice cream was amazingly smooth, creamy and well balanced taste. The cakes were awesome. Must come again.

Was terrific go there quite often lovely afternoon

Definitely put this place on your Yarra Valley Bucket List! Loved the milk hot chocolate & the chocolate hand cream I bought. You can see them make the chocolate and drinking the chocolate is a fun experience. Love it here!

I always get chocolates from here to include in my gift boxes for customers. The chocolates are always top quality and delicious. I have visited here a few times recently and customer service is always perfect from all the staff. I am so impressed with everything that this business is doing to keep meeting customers needs during the lockdown. a great business

Amazing place. Delicious chocolates and ice-cream. Good place for everyone.

Located in a beautiful area. Worth to visit even if it's just for the views. The chocolate is a bit expensive though.

Awesome! Its nice how there is tasting at the front. Beautiful garden. Great place for a family and picnic.
Welcomeing staff and awsome chocolate,icecream and coffe.

This is definitely a awesome place to visit. It also has all the options to satisfy sweet tooth. Too much of variety in chocolares, many desserts they serve, many gift options to buy in chocolatier. Nice coffees, and ice creams are just wows.. the views down there are just awesome. Have more sights to visit nearby of one has time. But definitely worth a trip. Plus not far from Melbourne.. but make sure its immensely busy on public holidays... it was hugely crowded on boxing day.

One of the must go places in Melbourne. Awesome chocolates and delicious Icecreams. The gluten free pizzas can be better as its lacks the taste but overall a great place to be !!

Just fantastic!! Great service and the most amazing chocolate, make sure you get yourself a hot chocolate, you won't regret it!

This is my paradise Chocolate and sweet dreams are coming true here.

This is one of the best place I ever been in Melbourne. Those who love chocolates it's heaven for them. You can get lots of variety of chocolates which tastes so good. You can even get your body wash body oil on different varieties on chocolates and other fruit flavors. The food and dessert tastes so good as well.

Standard tourist stop. Good simple food, friendly staff, beautiful outlook. Chocolate was pretty good. They have a set up showing into the 'factory' were they make the chocolate, would have liked to be able to see more of the process. Overall, a solid stop on the drive out of melbourne.

Nestled amongst Yarra Valley wineries, this would be the go-to place for kid-friendli-ness. Variety of chocolates for sale, cafeteria with inside and outside dining area, open fields for kids to run around. (balls provided by the facility) Try parking at the very bottom parking area on the weekends to avoid congestion.

Beautiful place. Perfect for chocolate lovers. Varieties of chocolates. Yummy food

Amazing location, great tasting chocolate with a huge range available. It was really cool to see the chocolate being made in the factory. Was really busy however and some products (such as the icecream) were way overpriced.

Nice environment, extremely crowded over the weekend . beautiful surroundings .

You need to drop by when visiting Yarra Valley..great place to dine and relax ... perfect for kids

Loved this place nice coffee you can watch chocolate being made. Lots of yummy goodies to buy and take home. Lovely country setting.

Went out to Yarra valley for a day trip and took a visit to the Chocolaterie. Despite its popularity it was worth the drive. Great cafe, friendly staff and delicious treats! The view from the cafe is incredible! I would love to see more about the history of the store and more experiences around it's manufacturing process. But very much enjoyed the large windows to view activities on the manufacturing floor.

A good place to visit if you are into chocolates. Ample parking space and it also has a nice cafeteria.

Way over priced 16 dollars for 100g i can buy 4 Cadbury blocks for the that price

My girls loved their chocolate making class and the desserts at the Cafe were so decadent!

Freezing cold day more heaters outdoors would have been great but didn't stop us enjoying a lovely hot chocolate. Kids loved running in the garden and the balls are a great touch.

What can I say? CHOCOLATE! And done oh so well. Lovely joint to come by on a sunny day and enjoy the location and delicious treat of chocolate.

Good view with great ice cream. And good price too.

A bit busy at times but great place to visit. Very yum chocolate

Wonderful country scene location. Stacks of well laid out parking. Well presented facilities including sit down cafeteria. Enormous range of high quality chocolates at reasonable prices. Free viewing of the production process. Some sampling available. Attached ice creamery an added first class bonus.

A great chocolate activity for the kids, they enjoyed it so much they did not have room for dessert...

It has amazing chocolates and cake are awesome as well I recommend this place

Yummmm amaizing chocolate and ice cream for kids and adult nothing but happy and fun time for everyone.

An ice cream shop in country side where city folks drives miles to taste. Ice cream ok. Over-rated.

A fantastic place especially for families. Easy to get to and has chocolate and ice cream.

Nice Ice cream and lot of chocolates. Car parks were full. Highly recommended.

Good selection. Good prices. Will stop back in here next time I'm in the area. Friendly staff and huge selection of chocolates and ice cream

Place is so beautiful and breathtaking. You just feel relax. The restaurant has great food. You just feel drunk on chocolate.

Love this place. Always go there when we go to the Yarra Valley. It is a good break when touring the vineyards. Chocolates there very nice and the free samples help me decide what to choose. Seeing how chocs are made also a nice touch. Place is clean. They also serve yummy ice cream. Children and picnic friendly too

Very nice ice cream. In my limited tries, this is the best ice cream I tasted in Melbourne.

Fantastic and we'll managed in these difficult times

Delicious food, great atmosphere and superb views! Highly recommend this place for a great afternoon out... Its a repeat-worthy venue for sure!

Get a small size of the ice cream- very rich. Chocolate is incredible.

Lots of chocolates to select from. I highly recommend chocolate tasting available only for A$3 per person. There is a variety of chocolates with very unique flavors. If you are unsure if you will like those, free samples are available upon request. The staff was very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly.

Love the variety, something for any and every smooth tooth.

Absolutely delicious delightful gem in the middle of the Yarra Valley i am not a big chocolate fan but find myself addicted to all the treats they have and the scones at the Cafe yowzers, and the staff are super friendly

Awesome chocolate, great cafe and a wonderful drive out there. Do the chocolate tasting course, it's very interesting, not to mention delicious!

Love the variety of chocolate . Yummy ice-cream. Friendly service. Beautiful scenery. Multiple events including Easter wonderland, Brownie Festival, Hot Chocolate festival, and Strawberry Affair .

Very busy shop, or at least when we went there.. It had tourist buses dropping crowds off. It is a delicious shop that offers free chocolate as soon as you come in the door. It has a large window to watch the chocolate being made. It is also under construction if I was to guess it is to extend the dining area. Which will be a nice addition giving how packed and busy it was in there.

Loved the tasty icecreams. Bought some chocolates too, they definitely look yummy.
Nice picturesque view alongside the shop, makes a good spot to sit down and enjoy the icecreams.

Brunch delicious! Ambience wonderful! View stunning! Chocolate? Chocolate, wow!

Nice place, delicious chocolate and food, kids will have a lot of fun. Usually crowded in weekends and public holidays

Definitely worth checking out if you re keen for a sweet treat. Ample ice cream, chocolates, sweets & various sugary options in the store. Ice cream is good value as well!

Average food, average service, not really worth it.

Gets very busy on the weekends but for good reason. This place has wonderful food and service. Great views, delicious chocolate and ice cream.

Car park can be quite the monster but it's worth the drive out there. I keep going back all the time.

Staff very friendly, good money for value. Very family oriented.

Great chocolate and a nice little cafe and chocolate shop to go with. I have made a few day trip drives with my girlfriend or family and have enjoyed every trip. The price of the cafe is very reasonable and the chocolate is more expensive than supermarkets, but they are good quality products that you can't get everywhere.

Please don't be put off with reviews of "touristy" and "gimmicky" because it IS a tourist destination and it IS about chocolate. You can look at off peak times to go and enjoy if you don't like crowds.

Great place to spend a day with kids, icecreams, chocolates, and plenty of place to run around with one heck of a view, what else do you need...

A very busy place filled with tourists looking for souvenirs to bring home. The place offers a wide selection ice cream. We got a scoop of wild berries sorbet for $4.80, very yummy. Great view as well with good parking.

Lovely atmosphere in Yarra Valley, great customer service and delicious chocolate available to try before buy.
Definitelly an highly recommend place to spend your day out and to feel a bit the atmosphere that you can experience in Tuscany (Italy) :)

Fun to visit. Great lawns for kids to play on, with toys/balls etc. supplied however bringing your own food and drink is not allowed. Food on site is tasty and mid range priced. Don't expect to leave without purchasing at least some of their marvellous chocolate!

Best place to shop for chocolate, an awesome shopping experience and a cafe with lots of yummy pickings, the ice cream is really creamy

like the thousands who visit the chocolaterie, I over indulged.

Nice place. Relies on large numbers of tourists. So don't expect it to be quiet. Produce fine. Prices are about right.

It is such a nice place to visit but the prices of chocolates are way too much. Paying $7 for 100g choc, I mean where did that chic came from. I have bought chocolate in Geneva cheaper than that. But I will still recommend a visit for the scenery to enjoy.

Ended up at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie after a visit to the Yering Station Winery in the area on this cold and gloomy day, just after the COVID restrictons were lifted, and was totally surprised to find the whole place completely crowded with the car parks overflowing. Either it is very popular or people so badly wanted to get out after the lock-down period !! Couldn't get inside as there were long waiting lines and the limited numbers inside at one time due to social distancing rules. So these just some comments from the outside after tasting a ice cream/hot chocolate from the outside booth. Nice place. Good gardens, great view, and would be lovely on a sunny day. The ice cream was very expensive though.

Always a good spot to bring visiting friends. Chocolates and ice cream will always be a pleaser

Awesome place. Never seen so much chocolate in one place, we all thought we'd died and gone to heaven. The ice cream is amazing, the portions sizes incredibly generous.

Great place. Amazing selection of ice cream and chocolate. Amazing view around. Can be crowded though and hard to move at times.

A great stop in the Yarra Valley. Really good chocolate and very generous free samples :)

The number of visitors to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie on any day is testament to the popularity and quality of this place.
They have a huge variety of chocolates and a cafe where you can buy beautiful cakes, ice creams, coffees etc.
A must visit for any sweet tooth if you're in the Healesville/Yarra Glen area.

The chocolate brownies are amazing!!!!! Such an awesome variety of chocolates. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning

Fabulous, creative range of chocolate, ice cream and cakes. Customer service was very good and even though they get very busy they managed well.

Beautiful and nice place to relax. Friendly waitress and delicious food to enjoy the cooling greens.

Pleasant enough tourist attraction. Reasonably priced meals, ok icecream. Not sure about the chocolate, though it is moderately expensive. Attractive grounds, somewhat marred by the 'No Picnics' signage. Ample parking, at least on a weekday.

Absolutely beautiful place the best ice cream and chocolate worth the visit

It a must place to visit if you in VIC Yarra Valley for chocolatier and for a breakfast very beautiful location

Walls of chocolate of every possible combination, but if they don't have yours you can make your own with the kids. Cafe on site and large grounds with toys and balls for the kids to play and work off some energy! Beautiful surrounds and excuse for a day trip.

Very tasty chocolate is available and you can watch the factory from inside. They also do special events such as a hot chocolate month with 31 new flavors. Plenty of parking available in a nice setting. Was extremely busy on the long weekend, though service was good. Plenty of choice of chocolate for average factory prices - easy to spend $100!

Soooo tasty. If you love chocolate this is a must visit

Great views, great ice cream. Go midweek if possible. Gets busy during school holidays.
