House Of Chocolate Dessert Cafe & Cakery

I visited here with a friend while in NZ for work. We had dinner elsewhere and stopped here for a dessert treat. The selection was huge and difficult to decide which to get. We settled in the end on sticky date pudding and banoffee alaska. Both did not at all disappoint - totally delectable. While here it was busy but it was a Thursday night. If you're in the area, it's well worth stopping with friends for a treat.

The place is full of chocolate and cakes! The chocolates looked so delicate. We ordered a cake and a chocolate shake, they were tasty. The price is not sharp, especially the cakes, very affordable! The service was friendly and fast despite being busy. It is next to a few Korean cuisine restaurants, so we got our main and dessert all at the same stretch of shops, which was very convenient!

We had planned to come here for dessert once we knew we were having dinner in the area. The place was full when we got there but the tables outside were empty so we just sat out in the cold. We got menus and once ready ordered inside. There are quite a few options, from the pre made desserts, to the amazing waffles, to the special desserts like the chocolate ball. As expected the chocolate ball came out with hot chocolate sauce which you drizzle over the ball to release the ice cream. It was super sweet and super tasty. Only thing I didn't like were the pineapple pieces since they were quite sour. Everything else was nice. i have a real sweet tooth so it was nice for me but it might be a bit too rich for others if they eat it by themselves. Always a treat when we come by. Edit: Waffles are nice. Good crisp on the outside. The vegan chocolate ball was very dark and not very sweet.

Highly recommend. Friendly staff and delicious desserts. The chocolate cake is moist and very tasty. My favourite bonbon flavours are the "passion & plum sherbet" and the "blueberry" in a heart format but I guess this one is special for mother's Day as I couldn't find at the menu. Ps.: The picture is the "black forest dessert" not the chocolate cake.
