Chocolate Cottage & Café

Brisbane & Around


This cottage-turned-cafe peddles a girth-expanding selection of handmade chocolates and sweet treats, from chilli-infused pralines to choc-dipped musk sticks. Chocolate (and coffee) snobs won't be wowed, but the setting – on an English-style 'Village Green' with breathtaking views of the Great Dividing Range – makes it a worthy pit stop (especially for kids). Savoury breakfast and lunch options are also available.

The Village Green is also fringed by a handful of shops selling craft, clothing and accessories.
