The Chocolate Cottage

Great little coffee shop recommended to us by a local. We ordered coffees. Mine was good. Hubby's chai latte was creamy but a little sweet for him. Foodwise, his vanilla slice was sweet and moreish. My av on toast was rustic in appearance but delicious and fresh. A good range of gourmet gifts for sale. Lots of chocolate treats at reasonable prices for a specialty chocolate shop. We would go here again.

Nice little cafe with cute decor and friendly staff. We sat on the verandah overlooking the outside tables and chairs. Good priced coffee and cake. They have a selection of home made chocolates and interesting condiments for sale.

We found this café on a busy Thursday morning and were impressed with the thoughtful service. The coffee served hot and rich, exactly what you want on a cold day. We also loved the wide range of chocolates they offered. Loved it so much we went back on Sunday, met the owners who were very friendly, and enjoyed another great cup. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place for lunch, snack, coffee and browse at the range of chocolates and assortment of gift wares amd jams etc.

Have been coming here since we moved here in 2010. Although it’s changed owners over the years the same wonderful village hospitality remains. Saturday morning breakfasts and weekday morning teas are common. What I love is the views and tranquility as well as the invitation to shop at many of the boutique shops. Easy to find that perfect gift.

I went there for lunch yesterday, the owner and all the ladies working there just lovely, helped with a door for wheelchair access, all very polite and happy to be there and open to having a chat with us. The food was amazing, all very fresh and delicous. Huge servings as well. The Cafe itself was beautifully presented,clean and had lovely decor and beautiful items to purchase. Not to mention the beautiful yummy chocolates. My daughter was thrilled with her chocolate heart koala.❤️

It's just an amazing tiny cafe and calming outdoor area. Food is a bit on the expensive end for lunch, but they cheaper offers in their bakery selection, which are delicious and wonderful. Plus, the collection of chocolate is a huge bonus.

Decent food, lovely views. Sightly lower pricing would make this five stars. I'm still glad to have stopped here, the chocolates are fantastic. The views out the back are quite nice on a clear day, the photo I uploaded is on a foggy day late autumn.

The Chocolate Cottage is a bit of a Highfields institution. A former schoolhouse building perched on the edge of the Great Dividing Range, most people now go here for the great food and views rather than the actual chocolate. We sat out the front under a gorgeous thick trellis of vines. As it was a hot day, we were thankful for the cool shade. The cottage has tables in front, inside the actual building and out the back on a beautiful green lawn that overlooks the Lockyer Valley - though this has been partially obscured in recent years by the growth of a hedge! I cannot fathom why they don't trim it a few feet to reveal the fantastic aspect. We arrived about 12.15pm on a Sunday & the place was already hopping. I'd rung earlier to book a table but was told they don't take bookings- it's a 1st-come, 1st-served situation. We ordered at the counter, my dad happy to have a beer as it is licensed. Meals were out in under 20mins which I was impressed with considering the number of people dining. My father & I had panini ($18.50), both of which were pretty yummy and my mum & hubby both had the nachos ($22). All servings were generous but the nachos especially! I think though the prices were not on the cheap side, they were good value for a cafe lunch in the area. Coupled with good service and a lovely laid-back country atmosphere, we were very happy. Will be back!

Wonderful outdoor seating area, very friendly staff and tasty giant sandwiches. You may want to eat them with a fork and knife or just indulge with a napkin in hand because it's worth it. It's not just about the sweets here.

Great food and lovely staff. Great place to go with the family. Really good for kids aged from 3 months old to an elder possibly aged 85. The indoor area is not as nice as the outdoor area but love that the chairs and walls are very colourful and lovely. Would recommend this place for couples, families and friends but you probably won't get the best experience if you go by yourself. Overall, great food and outdoor areas and the chocolate is fabulous. Would definitely come back to this gorgeous cottage!

Though this place has beautiful grounds the food is extremely over priced. They take short cuts in making drinks, the ice chocolate was over half ice and very little milk and charged a small fortune. Definitely not worth the drive.

What the hell is with the attitude of whom I presume to be the managers/owners of the establishment? We have visited 4 times as we live in the area as there is not much else on offer, we have given this place a chance over and over again. Sure it has one of the most beautiful scenic views around and decent food but when you are made to feel unwelcome by the management it's hard to comprehend how this place receives such high reviews?
