The quaint seaside community of Howick in Auckland’s Eastern Suburbs is home to ‘Chocolat’, formally ‘The Chocolate Cafe.’ Opened 12 months ago, it is owned by Victoria who manages the place and Jared, her partner and weekend sidekick. A supposed decadent theme, I can see where the owners vision lay for the cafe, but the old ‘Chocolate Cafe’ was anything but decadent!
