Noosa Chocolate Factory

Brisbane


Don't delude yourself: the small-batch, artisanal chocolates from this Sunshine Coast Willy Wonka will override any self-control. Best sellers include generous, marshmallowy Rocky Road and a very Queensland concoction of unroasted macadamias covered in Bowen-mango-flavoured chocolate. Varieties rotate frequently and, best of all, none contain palm oil. A second branch at No 156 serves speciality coffee and hot chocolate.
