Sweet Decadence

A comprehensive guide to Melbourne's best sweet indulgence hot spots

As the rapid growth of coffee shops, cafes and trendy bars continues in metropolitan Melbourne, the Melbournian taste has gradually evolved into something refined and discerning. No longer are we satisfied with the generic chocolate powder with a mere 15% cocoa solids, producing hot chocolates that are really hot milk with a hint of chocolate flavouring. Melbournians have now caught onto the rich lifestyles of the Europeans, appreciating the luxurious taste of belgian chocolates, the creamy textures of Italian hot chocolates and the orgasmic experience of swiss fondues. No longer do we reach for the block of Cadbury in our time of need, instead, we reach for a Lindt ball. And rightly so. So here is a long overdue guide to the best dessert locations in Melbourne. Whether you're after just a cup of pure chocolate, or a feast of sweet delights, you will find a top ten list here that can direct you to best place to satisfy your taste buds. Enjoy.
