Mayfield Chocolates

The fact that Mayfield Chocolates is located on Brisbane’s ‘medical street’ is very handy. If you’re visiting a friend at a clinic, or going to the doctor yourself, Mayfield Chocolates are the perfect way to cheer someone up. What I love at Mayfield Chocolates is the pack your own box option. You can choose the amount and type of chocolates you want, and also the box they’ll come in. I first discovered Mayfield Chocolates when a friend gave me a the prettiest oblong wooden box. I had no idea that it would contain chocolates, but it did. Four delicious, gourmet chocolates nestled in their tiny little paper cups inside the box. She’d chosen the flavours specifically for me and the box was something I could keep even after the chocolates were consumed (which let’s face it didn’t take long!).
Mayfield specialises in native Australian flavours and you can pick from fillings like Australian Kakadu plum jelly, lemon myrtle and macadamia praline, Queensland pineapple ganache, Tasmanian leatherwood & Queensland ginger ganache, and my favourite: Australian native aniseed ganache in dark chocolate. I love that you can personalise which chocolates and how many you buy: it’s so nice to be able to personalise a gift for someone, or just personalise what you’ll be snacking on at 3am when you’re craving chocolate.

Do not be deceived by the unexciting shop front of Mayfield Chocolates. Inside lies many a tiny and yummy morsel for anyone like me who can absolutely not resist chocolates!
I was lucky enough to work in a store when I was younger that stocked Mayfield Chocolates, and let me tell you that not one shift went by that I wouldn’t leave with some purchases of my own. The great thing about Mayfields is that the chocolates are made fresh in Brisbane rather than a huge production line factory down south. The other thing I love is the choice of flavours. There’s the tradition favourites such as cherry liquor, caramel and praline, but it’s the interesting flavours such as lavendar ganache, lemon myrtle and rose water that really sets Mayfield above the rest. The use of Australian flavours and ingredients makes the chocolates a fantastic gift idea for any overseas visitors.
If you have a sweet tooth (or a mouth full of them like I do) then Mayfield Chocolates of Wickham Terrace needs to be a port of call for you soon.
