Perth’s café culture, offers more than just good coffee. Loved by kids and adults alike, a creamy, sweet hot chocolate is a perfect treat – especially in winter. A hot chocolate shouldn’t be too sweet, and of course – there MUST be marshmallows! We’ve put together a roundup of some of the best hot chocolates in Perth, and its surrounds.

The Foundry is a newcomer to Midland. The cafe’s extra special Nutella hot chocolate is a standout. The drink is topped with a sprinkle of cocoa, creating a decadent drink with every sip. Perfect for a cold day, The Foundry’s hot chocolate will warm you from the inside out. They have a kids menu, highchairs and plenty of room for prams. See more in the Buggybuddys review.

Southern Forests Chocolate Company, near Pemberton
Not found in Perth, but my personal favourite. You have got to try a REAL Southern Forests Chocolate Company Pemberton hot chocolate! Choose from white chocolate, milk chocolate or 70%. My son ordered a white-hot chocolate and he declared it the best hot chocolate ever! It was delicious, while not being sickly sweet. The drink is thick, velvety, and packed with chocolate flavour, making it a perfect companion to the peaceful, forested surroundings of Pemberton. See more in the Buggybuddys review.
