The Daylesford Hot Chocolate Company

3.5 stars overall. Most of the stars are for the ambience of a vintage quaint French vibe in the store that also had some second hand books all things I love. The hot chocolate itself was good enough. The milk chocolate was very thin but the dark chocolate is good we are glad we purchased one of each and mixed it together ourselves else I would not have have drank the milk chocolate. The blow torched marshmallow was a nice touch. It was quiet when I went to get the takeaways hence could take in the ambience as we tried to go in during brunch time earlier and it was packed/ chaotic so we left. We are spoilt in Melbourne for amazing hot chocolates but this was probably the best hot chocolate we had in Daylesford but it does not compare to koko black, hardware society, mork etc. for serious hot chocolate lovers keep this in mind. P.s.: grateful to a lovely lady who helped me open the door she clearly saw my struggle to open the door with two hot chocolates and one marshmallow skewer (as the dark chocolate doesn’t come with marshmallow)

So rare to find a local gem like this with such a great sustainability ethos, beautiful customer service AND consistently delicious products! Win, win, win you know I'll be back! x

Great service and generous servings. Walked by after the Sunday markets one lovely staff member at the counter who fielded many visitors at once while giving great service in making and bringing out hot chocolates. We got the s'mores, vegan hot chocolate, cardamom and sea salt hot chocolate and classic hot chocolate all delicious, some very rich, all beautifully presented as we sat outside.

Absolutely delicious hot chocolate, one of the best I’ve had. Got the milk chocolate with cinnamon, was brought out with a perfectly roasted giant marshmallow and she even made a bit extra with a shot glass so my partner could try. The flavour was well rounded and spiced nicely. Would highly recommend a visit to this quaint place for a cuppa hot choccy if you’re passing through.

Best hot chocolate we have ever had. We are vegan, had the dark chocolate one thick hot chocolate. Was incredible
