It's exactly what you'd expect from a chocolate cafe, chocolate, and hot drinks. Extremely well done. The chocolate is very balanced and nice as well as the drinks. The aesthetic is casual diner/luxury, gold, spruce, and black. Nice place for chocolate lovers, great spot.
Gourmet Chocolate @ Butlers Chocolate Café.

Chanced upon this specialist gourmet chocolatier and coffee chain serving handmade chocolate-based confectionery sweets, and savoury pastries and sandwiches. Was intrigued.
.
All of their Hot Chocolate has a medium thin yet velvety smooth texture, carrying rich flavour.
.
The Hot Chocolate Dark (NZD $7.60) has chocolatey bitter sweet earthy flavour, deep and strong in taste.
.
The Hot Chocolate White (NZD $6.60) has chocolatey milky sweet buttery flavour, bold and decadent in taste.
.
The Hot Chocolate Peppermint (NZD $7.60) has chocolatey minty sweet milky flavour, sharp and refreshing in taste.
.
Fortunate that a piece of Gourmet Chocolate was served with each order of a hot chocolate beverage, so I had the opportunity to sample these.
.
The Chocolate Dark Sea Salt Caramel features a fragile dark chocolate shell filled with thick sea salt infused caramel, robust with chocolatey bitter sweet salty flavour.
.
The Chocolate White Almond Truffle features a fragile white chocolate shell filled with a crunchy whole almond nut, robust with chocolatey milky sweet nutty flavour.
.
The Chocolate Milk Mango Lemongrass features a fragile milk chocolate shell filled with a thin lemongrass cream and topped with chewy mango zest, robust with chocolatey fruity earthy herbal sweet flavour.
.
The Sausage Roll (NZD $6.40) here is a hefty fella, packed with tender juicy minced beef and diced carrots in a crisp flaky puff pastry shell. With bold meaty savoury salty spice vegetal sweet bready flavour, this sausage roll was rather filling for a snack, doubling as a light meal.
Oh wow! The dark hot chocolate is AMAZING! Also the dark salted caramel chocolate I was gifted was divine!!!
