I caught Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Melbourne

Guessed what?
LIND
T CHOCLATE CAFE is now in MELBOURNE!!!

It was unbelievable!! I love Lindt!! They made the most amazing chocolate ever!!

But there is another incident that leads to my amazement!!! The story went so -->

I actually heard from a friend of mine who went to Sydney recently and tried out Lindt Chocolate cafe before, and I wished that there will be one in Melbourne too~ And you know what, I saw Lindt choc cafe advertisement at Collins St almost immediately after that when I was ON TRAM! Yes, ON TRAM, and I believe I was talking!!! I know, you talk with your mouth, not your eyes, but I think you normally doens't look around (like outside the tram on the street that you pass by almost every single day!)... I guessed erm, the Lindt's Black Forest cake advertisement is just too eye catching!!! (high 5 to the ad designer =))

I paid the cafe a visit the day after I saw the ad ( it was late night when I found the ad, and you know, melbournians particularly the shop owners rest early )! Didn't get to dine-in though, it was uberly FULL!

Anyway, how could Moon gave up her favourite chocolate merely because of this? She went in the day after that again! (I started to realised my obsession towards chocolate actually gave me extraordinary amount of determination and patience!) And look, what she have got...



Yummy
Wimbeldon (almond vanilla cake, layered wth mascarpone and fresh strawberries as well as puree)!!


and classic
Milk Iced chocolate ( you can choose among dark, milk or white iced chocolate btw. Gonna try dark one next time! I love them =))




This is the 'Chocolat Cerise' (Black forest cake) that appears in the ad!!



A very dense chocolate-mudcake-like cake that my friend got.



Not forgetting the wonderful interior environment!!! Classical ?!?! (<-- Archi's disease, whoops!) and psssst... customer weren't allowed to take photo of the cafe's interior, or else I would take more!! I couldn't kept pretending that I am fixing my camera, could I? Awesome experience in general!! Elegant, indulgence et cetera, et cetera, until i saw the bill...
I know what you're thinking. But... NO!! I DON'T mean the PRICE!! (it's expected somehow, isn't quality of food usually proportional with the price?)

Okay okay, see once more...


Nah!!! I meant the
ADDRESS!!! I am NOT in Sydney, although er... I wish I was!!!

Conclusion?
The manager must be a geography noob.
Joking ^^
*praying that Lindt's manager didn't see this or he doesn't understand English.*

Anyway, lovely experience I had in Lindt Chocolate cafe!!

Btw, Yay for another chocolate cafe in Melbourne after KokoBlack, Max Brenners and San Churros !! (did I left any?) And oh, I heard there is gonna be another outlet in Chadston soon!! A shopping and dessert-ing tour sounds tempting!

Kay Cheers for Chocolate.

    its a bit pricey but yeah.. its worth it.. as long as you dont buy their little round chocs.. better buy it in woolies/coles.. theyre much cheaper there. :)

  3. I went there once (last week?) and didn't like how packed and 'commercial' it seemed. The macarons are shit and overpriced and I can make hot chocolate better than them. I think I'm going to just stick to Haighes for chocolates and Laurent etc for desserts.
    It's just going to be like MaxBrenner's but even more overrated.
    Though I have to admit their ads are amazing, I walk pass the macaron one on Collins St nearly everyday.
    Thanks for the comment on my blog.
