I was delighted with Newport chocolates. You would do well to make Newport your first stop in Russell. The flavors range across fruits, nuts, herbs, and spices and are very well done. My favorites were the softy and crunch Macadamia and Honey, followed closely by the cooperating flavors in the Earl grey tea infusion and the slightly Coffe infuse Sea... More

I am keen on chocolates and know the business well. Guys, you're doing a great job! I like the way your experiment with the different flavors. I love your guinness and cranberry, sea salt and caramel and the chili an raspberry... Go on and all the best!

Well over-priced, seems like premixed chocolate that anyone could make at home, they just add fruit etc to it. Again it did taste good but not at all for the price! The shop does look nice, but the male staff member was just plain rude. We found a 'real' chocolate factory in Kerikeri.

a range of hand crafted chocolates that are bound to tingle your taste buds! We highly recommend the manuka honey and macadamia dipped in chocolate. Simply heaven!

I had heard the chocolate here was good, but not until I tried a square of chilli, lime and raspberry chocolate did I really believe it was true. I have never tasted anything so incredible. You can also enjoy a coffee here on the table and chairs inside or outside with your chocolate. Today I'm moving on to the caramel... More

Visiting this quaint chocolatier in Russell was the highlight of our trip, we bought a box of 6 and went back the next day for more! The young french couple that own it are just lovely and so helpful, highly recommended and a must to visit if you are in Russell!

We ordered two hot chocolates & four chocolates, two to eat then & two to take away. The hot chocolates were made individually so took a while but well worth the wait. The chocolates were beautiful. We didn't buy anymore as decided we will order online for Easter. If your in Russell & love chocolates this is a must visit.

Lovely little shop in the centre of Russell, we sat outside in the sun to devour our platter of delicious fresh chocolates with a great cup of coffee. Very reasonably priced for handmade chocolates and really friendly shop owner, had to go back in and buy a 3 dozen more to take away ;-)

The taste of these chocolates blew me away. They are the best I have ever tasted. So fresh and creamy and the flavours are amazing. The hot chocolate is simply the best I have had. It is like a chocolate molten pudding in liquid form - superb! We initially came to the shop on the recommendation of a friend and... More
