The stores in Rundle mall and Greenhills street were both packed when we went. There were long queues in spite of the number of cashiers. Go if you have the time and patience but found it a deeply unpleasant experience overall. Only to be expected the week before Easter, perhaps.

I've been shopping at Haigh's Chocolates for as long as I remember. There's always something new to try. The problem for a chocoholic is not to linger for too long, as the choice is amazing, the smell intoxicating and I always buy more than I intended.

We are a bit biased with this place, being from SA, but the chocolate is the best we've tasted, and the service and presentation is excellent. This was my late grandmother's favourite dark chocolate and she lived to 94 years old. We particularly recommend the maltichocs, caramel chocs, peppermint frogs and ginger truffle bars.

It's set in a beautiful arcade ... Block Arcade, which is worth a visit for its ambience alone. The array of chocolates at Haigh's is mouthwatering and beautifully laid out. Staff are friendly .. how can you go wrong when you're handing out free samples?? And needless to say, the chocolates are yummy!

If you like choclate then you must come here. Be prepared to umm and ahh as you try and make your mind which samples to take with you. So many to tempt you, then again, you could always come back again.

The Block Arcade off Collins Street in Melbourne houses not only glorious Victorian architecture but two of my favourite shops. Haigh's Chocolates , an Adelaide instiution, sell their range of delectable chocolates here. Must tries include the world's best (in my humble opinion) chocolate frogs, violet creams and rocky-road ( seasonal - cool months only). The other site in the... More

The prices it Haigh's are a little high and the quality of the chocolate I believe is average however a favourite of mine are the Berry Choc balls. Packaging and layout of the store is very nice and I like how when you make a purchase, they offer you a sample of one of their products, nice touch.

This is a chocolate shop like no other. The variety is amazing and the chocolate is sooo good. This was our first visit to a Haighs shop. We purchased a few items for ourselves to try one day and then went back and picked up a whole lot of gifts for friends. Needless to say our friends were impressed and... More
