The Margaret River Chocolate Company

This chocolate factory is amazing and there is free samples for white and milk chocolate. The samples are free and AMAZING. This place also has a giant cafeteria where you can order food and drinks. I ordered this 5$ chocolate thing near the ice cream section and it was delicious! This place is so good if you want to give gifts to people or have ice cream or have chocolate or have a break so yeah you should come here This place definitely deserve 5 stars and yeah.

Came here to get the chocolate hamper as a birthday present for my friend. From the first impression, the place looks nice and airy with lots of choices for different types of chocolates...but idk, if I compare it with my visit to Whistler's chocolate company, also in the same area, I feel like I had a much better impression at Whistler's. The vibe and atmosphere and decorations over there are just better. But having said that, the service by the lady at the chocolate counter was really good. She was friendly and helped me with a few questions. My rating is affected by what happened next at their cafe. Not only the cafe looks underwhelming, but the service by one of the ladies was just poor. There were 2 ladies at the cafe. The one who served me was friendly, but later I realized I forgot to ask her if I could have a marshmallow with my mocha. She was out serving coffees, so I asked the other lady who was around. Without a smile, she said 'It costs $2, nothing is free' with that RBF look and looked away. I was like...wow, did you really have to say it like that?? I never said 'give it to me for free'. I'm more than happy to pay even though... Seriously, two freaking dollars for one small marshmallow??!?! Mind you, my local cafe charges only 50c for TWO BIG MARSHALLOWS. Yes, TWO BIG MARSHALLOWS for 50 cents!!! I understand nothing is cheap in Perth and this is a tourist place, but still... that's a rip off! And btw the coffee was not even good. Really bad terrible overpriced mocha! Lastly, I went to Whistler's the week after to get another present (cos I didn't wanna go back to MR chocolate factory). And guess what??? The ladies at their cafe gave me two marshmallows FOR FREE without even me having to ask for it! YES FOR FREE!!! Just like their chocolates, their service was friendly, warm and welcoming! Absolute 5 stars! ⭐ (See my review for Whistler's!). It's just like comparing heaven to hell. Heaven to Whistler's. Hell to MR choc factory. Safe to say I won't be going back to MR chocolate factory. Whistler's is the place to go!

Love the chocolate chips placed at the entrance! The ice cream we ordered were amazing! Love the unique flavours like macadamia, apple pie, and more! The amount given was super generous! Love this place! Super good for chocolate lovers! Is a must visit! You can buy souvenirs for people who love chocolate! Besides that, they have a shop that sells mustard, hot sauce and like other savoury things! The guy handling it was super friendly! Loved all the tasting we had! Super enjoyable

A must go for all visitors to Perth! This is the main outlet at Swan valley. Ample parking. I liked the free flow of chocolate bits. Simply delicious. Friendly service. There is also a cafe within selling ice cream and coffee. An experience not to be missed. Highly recommended! Thumbs up!

A very good place to get the best local chocolate. They have wide variety of chocolate products, many flavors of rocky bars, etc. Friendly staff and nice cafe, too. Children friendly.

Nice place with alot of chocolate! My favorite was the plain milk chocolate. I recommend a visit!

I ordered A dark hot chocolate with tasted decent, nothing extraordinary. However, the atmosphere was pretty peaceful, clean nice seating areas and a big lawn for kids to play, and I went on a sunny day so that was a plus. The Providore next door had some interesting jam, liquor and syrup.

Great little place. Caught up with friends for afternoon tea. Coffee was reported as great by my friend, the hot chocolate I had was excellent. Food was excellent and time from ordering to delivery at table was good. Gift shop was lovely. Queue for Icecream, however noting hot day, expected. Free samples which was an attraction for young and old alike. Parking was good, I thought it might be difficult as didn’t appear much space from the road, but once I was into the car park found parking spot easily. Very child friendly, enclosed grassed area off the dining table veranda area. Plenty of families with picnic rugs on the grass.

This place is huge. And there is so much chocolate. From peanut brittle to rocky road to massive almond clusters to gourmet chocolate to bath products and hand creams and candles. It is endless. You walk in and can help yourself to dark, milk and white chocolate buttons. They even have ice cream. I had their hazelnut toffee chocolate and balsamic strawberry chocolate from their display case. Only 1.95 a piece. Cheap and delicious. It's like willy wonkas chocolate factory without the oompa loompas.

The Margaret River Chocolate Factory is delicious chocolate at an astronomical price. You'll pay twenty bucks for a few simple items. Having said this, I will return again, and again, and yet again. Quality chocolate is worth it, as are quality presents. This place will provide you with mouth-watering and much loved presents that are perennial favourites. I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't believe chocolate is sent from the celestial heavens above. And, as a wise person may have once said, all chocolate is equal - some is just more equal than others. This chocolate absolutely canes any other creamy confection I've tasted. Other specialty chocolate stores I've tried finish a very drab and uninspiring second place. The almost warehouse style interior is big and a touch sterile. There's nothing particularly cute, magical or whimsical about it. But it's nice enough and the chocolate sells itself. No need for added extras to lure fanatic foodies. The few times I've been here I've been surprised at the weekday crowds but I think this place rates highly on the tourist list, and rightly so too. There's a cafe in the joint and it looks divine. Creamy cakes and captivating cheesecakes beckon from behind closed glass. Indulgent ice-cream is also available. With the amount of satisfying sugar around the kids would love a trip here next school holidays, me thinks. There is a car park outside and although it's never been full when I've visited in off peak times you might struggle to find a spot on a busy Saturday morning. Although, I must test out that hypothesis and continue my chocolate sampling experiment while I'm there....

Even though I've only given a 2 Star rating I'm not sure it's their fault since we went for brekky and they are really known for chocolate! They have only 4 breakfast items so I chose a panini from the lunch item, it was pretty good but not anything flash and the other girls who got brekky items weren't very happy. The best thing was the hot chocolate made with real choc bits, pretty delicious! I also bought some chocolate on the way out of course...

Really disappointed and embarrassed to have been excited to bring people here. The toilets were absolutely filthy! As much as I love the chocolate, I will never be back.

Set in the picturesque surrounds of the Swan Valley, the Margaret River Chocolate Company is a chocoholic's dream. The focus of the place is on chocolate, of all kinds - dark, milk, and white - and there is a plethora of chocolate items for sale. Aside from edible chocolate, there are also items for your body. The mountains of beautifully-rendered chocolate inside the place is awe-inspiring, although if you want to take home a piece of chocolate, it can burn a little hole in your pocket. Still, for an occasional indulgence, it's not a bad idea to pay for quality chocolate.

Situated on 'food and wine trail' in swan valley is this chocolate heaven. Very popular among tourists so weekends get a bit crazy and packed. You can try free chocolate buttons (white, milk and dark) on arrival. Huge variety of truffles, chocolate packs, gift hampers and clothing on display. They have a viewing window for visitors to see chocolate making in action. There is a cafe and gelato bar on premises too. You can spend half of your day there easily so set enough time aside for your visit. Highly recommended even if you are on a short visit to Perth.

I've been here many times as it's just down the road from where I live. It's always busy!! Both in the chocolate section and in the cafe. I've tried a few things on the cafe menu and they always hit the spot. There is so much on offer from chocolate to truffles to nut clusters. Loads of giftware too. Another great feature of the chocolate factory is the free samples and the viewing window so you can see how some of their products are made. There is also a big lawn area outside for the kids to run around and you can watched them from the cafe verandah in a nice day. Also, it is right next door to Providore and Coward Black Wines. A great spot and worth the visit if you're in the Swan Valley

Over priced on food and drink. and the manger of the cafe is the rudest person in the world. Been here three times. This will Be the last time. Staff are rude no wonder your cafe is always empty. Save your money go elsewhere

Holey moley, chocolate covered caramel and honeycomb! A few years ago in a previous role, we ordered a heap of Margaret River Chocolate Co chocolate for a promo for work. Luckily we ordered slightly more than we needed because everyone in the office went loco for this cocoa! It really is mind blowingly good chocolate. The cookies and cream is probably my favourite, but they are all so good. After writing this review and it bringing back the creamy memories of the chocolate I have made the decision to head to the Factory this weekend!

Last year, I had a chance to visit this place. I purchased couple of chocolates. They were a bit pricey but it tasted really nice. I liked the chocolate machine at the back also :)

I don't know what heaven looks like, but I sure can hope that it is similar to Margaret River Chocolate Company (with a lot more puppies and kitties). I love this place. No, I L-O-V-E this place. It makes me break out into song and dance and have a serious case of the giddies. Walk-in and voilà, free chocolate. Say what?! Please re-read the first paragraph. Every thing else is gravy... chocolate gravy that is! MRCC really must be on to something, because it is one of the very few places that I can't refain from spending. They have specialty bags of chocolate with various concoctions like coffee. I will buy not one bag but two. I rush home to delve into these bags that are worth every single calorie. (Okay, so heaven doesn't have calories either.) MRCC is the perfect place to take out of town guests. I really equate MRCC to the heartbeat of Swan Valley. I trip throughout the region isn't complete without a healthy chocolate overdose.

I will start with a positive which is they have fabulous chocolate. Other than that I find this place over priced and under serviced. $21 for a tomato and cheese (no ham left) panini and chips, this is ridiculous! A family of 4 could not have lunch and a drink there for under $110. Service was dismal and bathrooms were a mess and super tiny. It's not the first time I've been but it is the last time.

OMG is the best way to describe this company, with the taste testing as soon as you enter the building to being able to watch the employees make some of the chocolates it's hard not to love it. The large variety of chocolates with something for everyone and also varieties of jams and body related products and oils you can find everything here. It is so hard to decide what to purchase and while you decide you can enjoy a coffee and cake or even a small meal. And after that you can go back and try more chocolate or sit and enjoy one of their amazing ice creams. This is one of my favourite places in Perth and will be going back again soon for more tasty treats.

The cafe has sets the lowest bar in standard of service I've seen in over thirty years of dining in WA. IT TAKES THIRTY MINUTES for a slice of cake to get served at a quiet late afternoon. And when asked the waitress just rudely says "yeah, it's coming". Avoid at all cost, bring your own food and picnic on the lawn instead. You'll get fed in time and it's a heck of a lot cheaper. Never again!!!!!!!!!

Any business, and I do mean ANY business that has either; A) Minimum charges for Eftpos or, B) No Eftpos facility, immediately gets added to my list of places never to visit again. Now, maybe an exception can be made for the little corner shop that has to compete with the likes of Coles and Woolies and needs to cut costs, but the MRCC has its venues down south, in the Swan Valley, a store in Hillarys (I think it's still there) and a big one in the city (I know that's still there), so these guys aren't short of a couple of dollars. Now, my girlfriend and I went and had lunch out in the swan valley, then decided to visit here for a bit of dessert. Got a couple of treats, some ice cream and milkshakes (fatties, I know!). I can't remember how much it cost, but with the stuff I took home as well for later, it was around $50 or more. Paid on my card, as I usually do. There's not exactly any ATM's in the Swan Valley. So we're sitting there, eating our ice cream and I see they have some chocolate milk, which I'm a huge fan of (big kid, I know). It's $4.95 for a 1L bottle, which is ludicrous, but it's a treat, right? How often do I come out to the valley? So I get to the counter and I'm told that there's a minimum $5 charge for Eftpos transactions, despite paying $50 on other stuff 15 minutes prior. I'm told I'll have to buy something else to get the transaction up over $5. So, I don't want to make an argument with a 15 year old girl when I know it's store policy, so I just tell her not to worry about it. This is more a rant about the fact that this is 2013! Minimum transactions shouldn't exist! Especially in a company that can afford the merchant fees (obviously!). I know it's not the fault of the workers, just the management who make decisions. But I hope they get the message here: If I've encountered this issue, how many other people went to buy that one extra chocolate bar for the kids and were told they couldn't? I'm sure the extra profit from those sales would make up for the merchant fees. Also, at $4.95 a liter for chocolate milk, which is half as much as I'd get if I buy Brownes, also a WA company, they can bloody well pay for the transaction if you ask me! I'm boycotting any place with minimum transactions and no Eftpos facilities. Who's with me? Greens & Co in Leederville, you're next!

It is a well documented fact that Martin Luther King 'had a dream' but I feel that he may have been misquoted, this may have been the intelligible quote of another soul, a chocolate obsessed soul. Somewhere in WA, someone had a dream, a dream to live, work, sleep and die chocolate. He dreamt that people would come from far and wide to sample, buy, eat, drink and even wear chocolate. This dream came true in the shape of The Margaret River Chocolate Company. Originally set up in Margaret River (of course) there is also an outlet in the Swan Valley pretty much the same size. Come and try the chocolate fondue for 2 at $14 with a selection of yummy dipping items. Try it in seasons other than summer, believe me the last thing you want to snack on when its 45 degrees is hot runny chocolate. Chocolate merchandise is in abundance in the shop, from bath oils to dipping sauces and even lip gloss. If you decide not to spend any money here, there is always the welcoming bowls of white, dark and milk taster buttons. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Yeah look, I know this place is a chocolate haven, distant from the hustle and bustle of the city. But I really don't know if the price you pay is worth it.... I know, it's amazing chocolate but it's no Lindt, no Cadbury, nothing I haven't tried before. My favourite part was the free samples and the chocolate flavoured body cream my cousin brought me. Tip: Make your top into a make shift bowl and fill with free samples.

very disapointing lunch experience today. Restaurant is dirty and we had to ask wait three staff to bring us table water only to be told that they had run out out jugs (which are actually empty wine bottles). food quality is mediocre at best. Kids meal was tasteless. really sorry we drove all the way to the swan valley to buy a third rate lunch

So much chocolate! The hot chocolate is creamy and rich - absolutely delicious. Great place to visit with interstate visitors - with unlimited free chocolate buttons. Next door is Providore and Coward Black wines - lovely to vist and look at gift ware,

The chocolate is outstanding here and I'm generally not a fan. Great selection and service with plenty of samples to dig into!

Very generous with their tastings, this is a favourite for the kids. Something a lot of people don't realize is that you can ask to try what is in the jars behind the counter. Not the glass cabinet, but on the walls. We love the nougat.

The cafe is appauling! Got there to read a sign that said we couldnt order any food because the kitchen had to catch up with orders, so had to just order drinks. Then we go to find a table and none are clear all have left plates and cups! One table was obviously where customers were clearing their own tables to!! Will simply be a drop in gorge on free samples and leave from now on!!

My (admittedly large) family and I came here after Christmas and we ordered 3 fondues and a bunch of drinks. We got the drinks pretty fast, but after waiting 45 minutes for the fondue, my aunty went in to check where it was, only to find out that it was sitting on the bench behind the counter. They promised that it would be out in a bit, but after waiting another 30 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes total), they brought out two of the fondues. At that point we were just happy to have only the two, which was good, because about 15 minutes later, a waitress came out with a cash refund for the last fondue, threw it at my dad and stormed off. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately when it came down to it, it was all very unprofessional, and may or may not have been responsible for food poisoning in myself and my family, including my 3 very young cousins.
