The reason they don't offer tastings/samples is because the chocolate is so disgusting nobody would buy it with informed knowledge. Prices are extortionate, even for a tourist trap. $4 for a single choc frog?? I pay $2 for one at Haighs and its to die for.
I got a small pack of buttons for $4 which I am convinced is homebrand compound/cooking chocolate. Opened the bag in the carpark and wanted to gag after trying it. It is so gross I really dont know what to do with it now apart from bin it or gift it to somebody I don't like.
I'm really sus about this place. I think all the chocolates are repackaged into some fancy 'Bruny Island' branded packaging. No evidence of it being a factory or anything about how its made. No toilets. Woman is rude as everybody says.
Such a shame they ripp off bus tour groups who have a compulsory stop here. I dont feel like its supporting local producers at all. If you are on a bus trip - don't buy anything here.. if you are coming by car, dont...

The service was also great! The guy serving us generously gave us half a packet of dark licorice bullets because it didnāt quite fill a bag.
Iām more than happy to pay for quality chocolate. For those concerned about the price, it's worth noting that chocolate prices have soared recently.
If the owner reads this and is willing to organise delivery, Iād be thrilled to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAs tourists we are always up for pitching in for the little guy, and so we thought we would support this little boutique chocolate company and make a purchase, however, after spending our money we quickly realized that this small company does not support us back, because the chocolate itself was of such poor quality that it can only be summed up in a single word, "nasty." And this is not a matter of personal taste, this is a question of basic quality, there was none. This small chocolate company is clearly working on the basis that, its all about the "neat packaging," and who cares about the content right? And anyway, they're just tourists right? And there'll be another one along shortly right? Extremely poor effort Bruny Island Chocolate Company, please consider providing quality chocolate in the...
