DARRELL LEA REVIEWS

Great experience. We ate some ice cream and it was amazing. As well as the customer service, because everyone is so friendly and so considerate with the tasting.(also better than Sydney ice cream) and also shoutout to Aden for awesome customer service.

A lovely spot for lunch. Chocolate, coffee and Gelato. The owners are great and their chocolate tasting board is huge.

Lovely service, yummy icecreams. Lots of chocolate. Take the kids! Great range of drinks.

THE SWEET OWL HAMPERS REVIEWS

Highly recommended!! The Sweet Owl Hampers, could not assist enough putting together a custom hamper and delivery to my vision impaired elderly mother. Pina could not have helped any further, and nothing was too much trouble. Pina you have gone above and beyond to help us deliver quality, fresh and delicious chocolates which are mums life long favourites from Darryl Lee. If you are looking for a business that delivers quality, fresh and beautifully packaged goods, I cannot recommend The Sweet Owl Hampers enough. Quality service, quality product and a quality experience - thanks so much, you have certainly gone above and beyond. Looking forward to coming back again.

So glad we spied this place when we were in Bridge Mall today. From the friendly young staff to the chocolate and sweets and savoury relishes, this place is a gem. There is a full range of Darryl Lea as well as other chocolates and lollies and savoury sauces and relishes. I loved the pick and mix selection - so many good options. They have a cafe as well which I will try next time I’m there. They do hampers and I would love to receive one from any family or friends (hint, hint!)

We recently received our gorgeous hamper from Sweet Owl Hampers. It was beautifully packed and filled with delicious treats. The shipping was very fast and it arrived in perfect condition. Such wonderful and personal service from Pina who kept us updated with packing and shipping until our hamper had arrived in perfect condition.
