It is on Link road and worth the stop. Very nice chocolate, top end but seconds are also available. I am taking it home to enjoy at my leisure. More

Loved the Chocolate factory had morning tea there and then came back for lunch after visiting other places. The food was great - being fresh, in reasonable quanties and suitable prices. I would recommend that if you are buying chocolates for the people you stay with, that you have small boxes for wrapping - the shop wraps in small paper... More

During our recent trip through Napier we stopped at the Silky Oak Chocolate Factory. Upon entering the chocolate shop, we were met by a lovely lady who greeted us as if friends and proceeded to ply us with sample chocolates.... needless to say we accepted graciously and brought a number of items 'for the road' and for friends and family....

Lots of options, coffee or lunch; a chocolate shop with yummy delights or can now be used as a meeting venue with catering. I've done them all and keep returning. Plenty of parking and the food is fabulous. We had a vegetarian in our party and there are plenty of options for them as well. Their fluffy marshmallow Easter eggs... More

Chocolate lovers beware - this place is dangerous! I've been there before and now totally addicted. Not only was I taken in by the chocolate ( I'll never forget the aroma in the shop) but the food/coffee on offer at the adjoining Cafe was also blissful. Staff were happy and very obliging. Also a souvenir shop and chocolate museum which... More
