Where do you rest for a quick break from urban hiking around Darlinghurst? The answer for Mr FBC and I this fine sunny Saturday afternoon was Boon Chocolates, located on Victoria Road in Darlinghurst. Ok.. so the key attraction to the place is the chocolates. However, we were just looking for a quick cup of coffee and tea.

Latte with Chocolate Mousse and Praline $7.00
We ordered tea and coffee... but were pleasantly suprised that they both came with a chocolate mousse and praline. The mousse was light and extremely chocolately. At a perfect portion size, it really hit the spot. The little praline chocolate was cute and a nice finish to the tea/coffee. It's definitely the most extravagant coffee and tea that we have ever ordered. I understand that Boon Chocolates also does an afternoon tea for $40. Mr FBC and I would be tempted to try that next time we're here.

After finishing our tea and coffee, we went back downstairs to the shopfront area where we gawked at all the chocolate. They are all so delicate looking. We were having friends over the following evening so we bought a dozen mixed chocolates. The full description of the Boon Chocolate collection can be found on their website.

A highlight of the chocolate display is definitely the handmade chocolate handbag. So delicate and intricate.

There seems to be an array of chocolate shops appearing all over Sydney. However, I think Boon Chocolates are different and unique.
