Chocolate Heaven

What's a good chocolate cafe you must stop by in Sydney?

The Lindt Chocolat Cafe! =]

It's the first concept store in the world with a rainbow of yummy Swiss chocolate.

The Ice Chocolate is the best I've ever had, and the Ice Coffee is just as tempting.

As for the tantalising desserts... try the Profiteroles. You won't be diasappointed.

There are 2 stores: 53 Martin Place (corner Martin Pl & Phillip St)

or for a more serene harbourside atmosphere go to 104-105 Cockle Bay Wharf

Well laters!
