Lindt Cafe (Sydney)
I do not know why we don't have a Lindt Cafe in Melbourne, but we should. Located at Darling Harbour, Sydney as well as a couple of other locations are these wonderful little chocolate cafes/ concept shops, selling and serving all things Lindt. From hot chocolate to gourmet cakes and ice-creams this place is a chocoholics dream.

I popped in with friends and enjoyed a great hot chocolate and some pretty good macaroons: amazing flavours and light shells, though the centres were a little hard. R&K had the seriously good-looking iced chocolate and some hand-made truffles which they swear were the best they have had.

Lindt Milk Hot Chocolate:


Macroons: Champagne Cream & Pistachio Delice.


So if you are in Sydney and want to treat yourself why not head to the Lindt Cafe for a little indulgence. You know you deserve it.
==============

And for those in Melbourne, don't despair, we have Koko Black (which Sydney does NOT) which also does seriously good hot chocolate and much more (review to come).

lol Vida. I have never been to Max Brenner, but some of my friends constantly rave about the place and their souffles. I guess I better get their soon. Of course for research and comparison purposes, and to see whether the waffles are really as good as you say.

I love the chilli hot chocolate at koko black, but have found an even better one at a place called chocolait. It is in the royal arcade in the city.
For crepes and hot chocolate you should go to fraus cafe in nth melbourne
