Coco Mondo has many small delightful sweets and chocolates cakes and an atmosphere of Street despite being indoors the coffee was very nice the service as our last visits, very good, friendly and accommodating guide dog accepted and not an eyelid batted. Parking is Darby St normal, however it is close to civic Park for a walk and even close enough to civic theatre at a pinch.

COCOA NIB REVIEWS

Oh my goodness.... what a sweet little find, right before Christmas. Everything looked absolutely divine! We bought a mixed box of assorted flavoured chocolates, Rudolph Noses, Popcorn & Pecan crunch chocolate, the Peppermint Bark & the Sea Salt caramels. All was so delicious. Great customer service too. Highly recommended if you have a sweet tooth or looking for a chocolate gift.

The most amazing chocolates I have ever eaten! When we visit Newcastle we always come here. Great service! I love the salted caramel and the coffee

Server was friendly and helpful, with the chocolate being absolutely delicious. Got an 8 pack of the specialty chocolate pieces. They did not disappoint. Makes a great gift
