Those of questionable faith in their own sweet tooth should fear the possibility of a diabetic coma while attending this temple to the bean. Chocolate Filth - the specialty - is a monstrous, rich wedge beseiged by three pairs of shot-glasses, filled with cream, ganache and mousse, challenging even the most ardent chocoholic. Savoury dishes are also available, including freshly made wraps, filo pastry quiches and the ever-popular lepinjas - though these are just a distraction.
From the central glass cabinet - like a shrine to the bean - to the counter's blackboard backdrop over walls of warm magenta, the guest is reminded of the cocoa bean. A retro green lounge has pride of place in the entry, enveloped by a staircase and bar-lining stools that add to the ambience. The window onto Union Street and doors of purple hue are a striking contrast to the furniture. Wall decorations continue the theme, with an eclectic blend of bamboo blinds, disordered lace and, antique wall hangings. But never mind the furniture; just take a seat outside, ponder your next novel with cigarette in one hand, a steaming hot chocolate in the other - reminiscing about that cafe in Paris.

My absolute favourite chocolate dessert!
Chocolate Bean is my favourite place for a truly indulgent afternoon! The chocolate filth is so rich and filling, I suggest you skip lunch altogether and head straight for dessert!

Chocolate filth
A true Adelaide gem.
The Chocolate filth is not to be missed - good luck and god speed to those who attempt to conquer it by themselves. The choc caramel waffles are also a highlight as is the mint hot chocolate. Their truffles are superior quality - try the grasshopper, very berry or cowboy for extra joy.
The staff are lovely - must be all that chocolate.

My happy place
This is my "happy place" after a long day at work. Reading my favourite book, nibbling on fresh truffles and sipping Earl Grey hot chocolate is truly restoring. The staff are genuinely welcoming, you feel like it's your own little sanctuary.... Worth savouring!

paralysed by chocolate
I usually just opted for a regular sized hot chocolate at Choc Bean but on one particularly chilly late evening, my companion and I decided to indulge. We had hot chocs plus the indulgence plate. We could hardly move for another half hour after attempting to finish this dish --I will never look at mud cake the same way again. Blissfully decadent.

Wow - what a chocolate rush! This place rocks. Not only have I had the most delicious coffee ever here - it was also the biggest. And the hand-made truffles are TO DIE FOR!!!
