She Chocolaterie at Riverside Market

Came here a chocolate fix and definitely had my fill! The chocolate elixir was strong, rich and exactly as stated on the menu. I’m glad I got the little chocolate raspberry ball, which wasn’t too sweet but took the edge off the elixir. The service was friendly and I can tell it’s a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.

Best chocolaterie ever We went there because we needed to cool down and organize our trip for the following weeks. Ended up eating the best chocolate we ever had. Even during summer, you HAVE to taste their hot chocolate, it is insane. The workers are very nice and they do a very good job with the aesthetic of the drinks. They also have a very chill and relaxing athmosphere with WIFI and some spots to charge your electronics!

Simply the best hot chocolate I’ve had anywhere in NZ so far. Just the simple 80% choco hot chocolate is decadent. The Mayan Chili hot chocolate if you want a bit of spicy-ness. Get the Orblets to make your own hot chocolate at home as well! This place won a few awards over the years. The owners are friendly and homely. For our short stay in Christchurch, we particularly came here everyday!

Love their chocolate and chilli hot chocolate is the cure of blue in cold raining day. Good stop for relaxing and rest your leg after riverside market. Chocolate lover shouldn’t miss it!!

Stopped for my morning coffee, as my partner likes hot chocolate. Instantly ditched the idea of coffee, which is weird for me. I had the Ginger hot chocolate, fantastic. Rich chocolate, strong ginger taste but not overpowering. Literally the best hot chocolate I have ever had. Partner had the creme brulee,hot chocolate, we wondered how they would make that Taste like a crème brulee, they nailed it. Wished we lived in Christchurch so we could join their loyalty club!

Real high quality chocolates. We were given chocolates shots to try...blew away my taste buds. The chocolate drink we ordered came with a free scoop of ice cream. Thoroughly enjoyed by miss 11. Their drinks are very rich and good to be shared. The lady at the counter was very friendly and explained everything very nicely.

Tried this place for the first time. It’s a chocolate haven. However quite a few Of their selections are strong and might not be wrong to say need an acquired taste. Unfortunately in Nz, we seldom get such places and therefore people will need to develop taste for their speciality drinks. That said we had a creme brûlée choc drink 12$. This was nice strong creamy and rich. And was enough for the two of us. Definitely on the expensive side compared to what you can buy for 12$. However they are trying to aim for a niche market. For me the whole experience was a new one and depending on how strong a choc lover one is you can decide on returning.

I love their dark mocha. I find that chocolate drinks are not too strong and not rich enough. Staff are friendly and attentive. Great place for meetups.

Superb hot chocolate and friendly staff and great smell of chocolate when you go through the door. I was greeted warmly by the staff on a Sunday morning, offered a sample of the 60% hot chocolate to try which was a surprise. They do 40% 60% and a 72% hot chocolate range to suit all tastes. The hot chocolate is available in a range of flavours to make you choice even better. Tea and coffee is also available. Small and larger sized chocolates to purchase also. Vegan friendly cake option. Ambient music is not distracting and the interior decor is warm and welcoming feel to it. They have a reward scheme, 1 point for every dollar spent. Get 100 points and you get a free hot chocolate. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Take away is also an option. Disabled friendly entrance. Cash, debit and credit cards accepted. Contactless payment also. Toilets are located in the Riverside market 30 meters away.

Absolutely gorgeous cafe. The best part is all the staff are friendly and hospitable who genuinely want to share their amazing in-house made chocolate!! Thank you!
