If you're someone that loves chocolate, then you'll know what Lindt is, and if you love Lindt, then I introduce to you to the haven of Lindt Chocolate Cafe. 

Filled with Lindt delicacies such as their signature chocolate items, cakes and beverages made with pure Lindt chocolate. You just can't go wrong here.

The Collection

With so many options to choose from, it was a great idea that I came here with a group of friends so I could try numerous delicacies Lindt cafe has to offer.
Opera Cake ($10.50)
A layered cake of dark chocolate ganache, coffee buttercream and almond sponge

I was quite disappointed in the Opera cake, Though I feel like the main reason was due to coming to the cafe when it was just about to close but the Opera cake was really dry and didn't have that smooth, creamy texture that most cakes have. But i'm sure that if i came earlier it would've been a better experience.

 Salted Caramel Cake ($10.50)
Dark chocolate mousse, crunchy hazelnut and salted caramel ganache on a Lindt chocolate brownie base

The Salted Caramel Cake on the other hand was pretty good. A smooth and creamy texture, with a beautiful salted caramel taste, it was great mood food. The salted caramel ganache was a great addition as it enhanced the salted caramel flavour when mixed together.

Lindt Chocolate Brownie ($6)

A tad dry, but I wasn't expecting much from a brownie, it was pretty good on it's own with a rich chocolate flavour. But it was definitely lacking something to make it satisfying, perhaps ice-cream would've been a good idea.

Lindt Mocha ($6.50)
Layers of Lindt dark chocolate, velvety milk and a perfectly drawn shot of espresso coffee topped with a Lindt chocolate thin

Topped with a Lindt chocolate, it was an uplifting drink. I reckon on the high end of the Mocha drinks I've had. A bit pricey but it's definitely worth it.

Lindt Decadent Chocolate Milkshake ($8.50)
Lindt excellence 70% dark chocolate ice cream blended with with milk and Lindt chocolate.

Now if you love a rich chocolate drink, then you'll definitely love the chocolate milkshake. My first sip of this and I was in heaven, rich, creamy and enhanced with that extra dark chocolate ice-cream, I could easily come back just for this.

(8.5/10)

Iced Coffee ($8.50)
Espresso blended with vanilla white chocolate ice cream, ice and topped with icecream and dark chocolate flakes

The Iced Coffee was pretty average in my opinion, the coffee flavour wasn't strong enough which led the drink becoming too sweet for an iced coffee.
