Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery

My kids did the chocolate making course. My kids said it was ‘THE BEST THING THEY HAVE EVER DONE! ‘ My husband and I had brunch a lovely for the hour! WIN/WIN! Thank you to the team who helped us make such great memories! What a beautiful well thought out business this is. Fun for everyone!

We stopped in on our way home from Apollo Bay for a late lunch and weren't disappointed! The staff were friendly, the service was fast and the food was delicious. After our meal, we went outside so the kids could run around and look at the cute little chickens and guinea pigs they had there. Next, the kids were able to watch chocolates being made and were given a free sample. The individual chocolate selection was terrific, as were the at home brownie kits and chocolate gift options. A must if you're on your way past!

If you are a chocolate lover this stop is a must for you. With too much to choose from you’ll enjoy perusing the stands looking for that something. The number of different types of chocolate on offer is mind-blowing. We bought several things and tried to get some of the unconventional things. A cafe is on-site selling various hot and cold food options also. A decent outdoor seating area is also here if you wish to sit outside.

Great food, went for breakfast and portions were HUGE! Scones were so big we could share one between two people, big breakfast had so much food that we could not finish. Amazing hot chocolates where you can add your own amount of chocolate to taste 👌🏻

Lovely place to stop and smell the chocolates! Went recently on a weekday hence less crowded and had such a nice time. The chocolates are creamy and rich but the highlight for me was the pistachio ice-cream. Absolutely love it with its rich creamy texture. Not to be missed.

Absolutely loved the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie! It’s not just a stopover — I’d honestly make a trip just for this place. The vibe is chill, the gardens are gorgeous, and the staff are super friendly. Tried the pizzas and the hot chocolate and it was veryyy good! The chocolates are amazing, worth a trip!

Had a wonderful day here with the kids. The staff were a highlight, every person we spoke to were so lovely, helpful and patient. Lunch was delicious and chocolate was to die for! Will be back.

The high tea was fabulous, a great selection of hot and cold savoury items and many sweets. Bottomless coffee, tea and hot chocolate made with real chocolate. Service was excellent by friendly staff, would highly recommend a visit. Leftovers were boxed so we could take home and share again the following day. Thank you.

It's a great start to the Great Ocean Road day trip to Lorne. We tried all of the ice cream flavors, we watched some chocolates being made, we even got a free cooler bag (spent 100 AUD). The customer service was great, although I noticed the man behind the ice cream counter was a bit annoyed with people, I think maybe because no one knew what flavor ice cream they wanted, or maybe because I wanted to sample all the flavors. Either way I could see him whispering things under his breath which was off putting. But I still got the ice cream because how could you pass up the honeycomb ice cream?!?! The chocolates were available in all different varieties and forms. I was a little overwhelmed and felt like Charlie and the chocolate factory! I did end up spending 100 AUD for gifts to bring home... hopefully they travel well back to the states!!

This amazing place offers the widest and most delicious range of chocolate and ice cream in the whole of Australia. The staff give you generous servings of ice cream and the chocolate tastes superb! This was definitely my favourite part of our family road trip!

Points to the GOR Chocolaterie for recognizing a great business proposition. It's located along the Great Ocean Road and was packed with tourists the weekend I visited. The large space is an excellent place for gift shopping. My personal fav for gifts were the chocolate bars seasoned with native Australian botanical. In addition to more chocolate than you can imagine, there is also gelato, a truffle counter, and windows allowing visitors to peer into the chocolate making process. The Chocolaterie also advertised free chocolate, which I love in theory. And I totally sampled against, perhaps, my better judgement. Mini chocolate buttons in the milk, white, and dark variety were stacked high in massive containers at the front entrance, with helpful notes like, don't fill up a bowl with these free samples. (Which I am zero percent surprised that people have attempted this sly chocolate maneuver.) And, while they do provide spoons for the sampling, I also know the general public well enough that I will also be zero percent surprised by people shoving their hands directly in to claim fist-fulls of chocolate. So I have no idea how they are managing the sanitary food handling of this endeavor. Overall, I'm sure they will be racking in the cash and I imagine it's a place I will stop when on another GOR trip. But when I visited, it was so crowded and overwhelmed with tourists, I can't say the experience was enjoyable.

Awesome chocolatier along the great ocean road. Packed with tourist and for a good reason - the chocolate and ice cream is great! I got shot of liquid chocolate and chocolate ice cream - chocolate overload. Cute little green space outside for kids to play too!!

I am happy to drive 140 Ks from Melbourne to Anglesea every weekend just to try their Eclaire.

Was on a road trip from Melbourne and this was advertised as a great breakfast stop. It definitely wasn't worth the hype. The mocha was too sweet, and the food itself was overpriced and mediocre. We were looking for a quick, good bite to eat before continuing on the road to Apollo Bay, trying to make stops along the way while we had daylight, but we ended up spending about an hour because of slow service for two chocolate waffles which tasted like they were pre-packaged, frozen waffles. I would not recommend this place as a necessary stop as part of your Great Ocean Road itinerary. You would get better food and service at some of the smaller cafes along the way.
