DONARCH FINE CHOCOLATE REVIEWS

The finest and most decadent chocolates. Donarch deserves the accolades and produces award winning chocolate, truely one of a kind. The store has an elegant feel and is well presented and organised. The young lady behind the counter (Hayley) is bubbly and welcoming, very knowledgeable of the products and super friendly. Five stars across the board. Highly recommend.

The new chocolate workshop was a lot of fun. Donna, Paul and Bec are absolutely amazing, extremely knowledgeable and just the absolute nicest people. Their new shop in Kurri is well stocked with all their products. I highly recommend dropping in for a look and if you can, book in and do the class!

High quality product with an amazing range of chocolate to suit all chocolate lovers. Have bought many gifts from here over the years though I try to avoid it so I don't buy too much for myself.

DARRELL LEA MAITLAND REVIEWS

The kids had so much fun coming in and picking all their favourite treats. Lovely place with a wide range to choose from. Well worth the visit in my opinion, just make sure you don't let your kids have too much sugar or you'll have them bouncing off the walls haha.

Great communication and delivery in as timely a fashion as can be expected. Looking forward to visiting the shop in person soon

Excellent prices, great customer service. I bought from online and interstate. Very easy to deal with!!. Many thanks!
