Haigh's Chocolates Block Arcade — Restaurant in Melbourne

What a great place to stop and visit. You can start with some chocolate samples followed by a tour of the premises. The tour guide provides great information on how the history of the establishment, how the chocolates are made, and explains the various processes used to make the vast array of chocolates they produce. The tour ends at the storefront where everything that is made in the factory is sold. It was interesting that when we visited at the end of October they were producing the Christmas items and would be transitioning into preparing Valentine chocolates immediately after. In the end I think I ended up spending $250 AUD in the store....pricey, but I was able to get all my gift shopping done in one...

Always a 5 out of 5! I migrated here in Melbourne in 2009 and have been a loyal customer since then. Haighs is our family's fave chocolate and we've been to all stores in Australia and have done the chocolate tour in Adelaide a few times. Haighs is always a part of any special occasion - Christmas, Easter, birthdays, anniversaries, etc & also as presents to friends from overseas to welcome them to Australia. Even in covid lockdowns, Haighs was there (thanks to online shopping). 😊

Block Arcade store is our fave store. Had a query about a recent transaction and Jake was very prompt to answer. Excellent service to match such excellent chocolates....

It is quite pricey but the chocolate is great. The service is equal to the chocolate quality. The staff immediately came over to us when we entered the shop and offered dark peppermint chocolate for us to try. They also offered their help when we were taking a look at some chocolates and asked us to approach them if we were confused due to the additional Christmas chocolates. The cashier was also extremely friendly. All in all, great chocolate and...
