Faith Chocolate Company - ERINA

I used to come here all the time and it's got nice gardens with a water fountain. If you are looking for a cafe away from it all this is a good spot. Make sure you pop into the Distillery next door as you can do tastings and it's really good.

Stopped in for a weekday lunch. Very inviting spot tucked away in the bushes. Inside the cottage we found the cafe. The setting is great although it was freezing inside with air con so went outside and found all tables and chairs quite dirty.A bit disappointed to find the lunch menu is very limited. 4 dishes in all and and 1 was not available. So we got the raw zucchini Alfredo and chicken melt. Raw zucchini was ok although smother in a lot of cashew nut sauce. But the melt was quite ordinary mashed up sort of tinned chicken on some bread. On the positive what is done well was the mochas, chocolates and raw cakes. These were great. With a slightly better done lunch menu this place could be a real destination. But for now it just felt a bit wasted.

This was a really great experience, the Chocolatier was very knowledgable and passionate about chocolate. The "kitchen" where the class is held was a little small and with 8 people in the room it meant that you were in close quarters with the other people. Obviously a family run small business which meant that the teacher was called out to assist in the cafe at times but the staff are very friendly and the chocolate is amazing.

We did the chocolate making class. Very friendly staff and fun day. Small amount of choc tasting. No more than just visiting the cafe which was disappointing but we did enjoy the class. Lunch was very tasty. Good value.Very dirty kitchen. I understand chocolate gets everywhere but it looks like your floors have never been washed especially in the cafe area. Dirty not just chocolate. If they clean the floors, hand washing sink and tidy up the kitchen I would recommend.

... will have you walking out with some wonderful chocolates and great gifts for yourself, your family and friends AND with a smile on your face feeling happy. Tried the utterly devine chocolate mousse cake for my birthday and it was so smooth and light and absolutely decadent. Of course, had to order a Hot Chocolate too :)By the way, for a further treat, off you go then to visit next door at the Distillery where Botanica Gins, Liquers etc await you and you will be in heaven.It is quirky and rustic here and and it is a very pleasant way to spend your time talking to the owners/makers while having fun and trying new treats....mmmm.
