A lot places that specialises in chocolate is popping up around Burwood which is awesome for me because I love chocolate! The Choc Pot is one of them, situated across the road from Burwood Plaza it's a bright and cheery place to have dessert. Their signature is the choc pot, a warm and gooey chocolate souffle-like dessert served in a ceramic pot accompanied by a strawberry and vanilla ice cream. When done right, the choc pot is quite a feast for the senses. Visually it is magnificent to look at, the warm melted chocolate oozing out of the pot literally makes your mouth start to water. The smoothness of the oozing chocolate sauce accompanies the souffle and the cold sweetness of the ice cream, delivering a combination of textures and that hugely satisfying feeling of "oh my god, this is awesome!". They also have a large range of other desserts like waffles (which is also fabulous) and drinks (Choc peppermint milk shake, yum!).
Another cafe/bakery that's similar to Tom n Tom's, I think perhaps it's because they're both Korean? Anyway, Hello Happy offers more variety in terms of cakes and breads. They also whip up a really nice green tea latte. Their cakes are also worth a mention, especially their souffle cheesecake (pictured left). Light and fluffy, melts at the tip of your tongue with a mild cheese flavour. The cake goes perfectly with coffee or any other kind of sweet drinks on offer. The other cake pictured is a white chocolate and raspberry cake which is less memorable than the cheesecake, but tasty nonetheless. Their breads are also worth trying, from savoury to sweet you can be sure that you'll find something that tickles your fancy.

Another chocolate place in Burwood, this one has a HUGE menu. I've been here a couple of times now and there's still a long backlog of things I want to try. Pictured is their magic popping waffle. It comes with waffle balls on top of the waffle and fruits and ice cream, finished off with a drizzle of their pure Belgian milk chocolate. While the waffle is not the best waffle I've had It's still very delicious. The chocolate sauce however is smooth and rich, like molten chocolate lava. I have also tried their crepes with bananas and straberries, their pancakes and also french toast. I really love their Belgian hot chocolates though, nothing like the instant crap you find at other places. Definitely a place to come with large groups of friends so you can sample each dessert.
