Chocolate lovers are in for a treat, with Margaret River home to not just one, but three chocolatiers, in the region.
The Margaret River Chocolate Factory, which started in a humble tin shed on a dairy farm in 1999, now has multiple locations across Perth. However, a visit to the original Metricup location is a must to sample their wide range of chocolatey delights. Besides from all the classic favourites, you’ll also find rocky road, chocolate-coated nuts, truffles and even quokka-shaped chocolates.
The site also has a café where you can enjoy coffee and other beverages plus chocolate fondue, various cakes, ice cream and a selection of savoury light lunch options. There is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, adjacent to a grassy area where kids can stretch their legs.
Further towards Yallingup, you’ll find Gabriel Chocolate, which specialises in single-origin chocolate bars showcased in their custom-built chocolate gallery. There’s also the Yallingup Chocolate Co., a small family-run business that shares a space with Commonage Coffee Co., rounding out the perfect stop for chocolate and coffee lovers.
