When Bracegirdle’s House of Fine Chocolate first opened the doors to its flagship Jetty Road store back in 2005, it was one of Adelaide’s first and only dessert bars. A proud South Australian, family-owned business, they’re well known for decadent desserts, rich hot chocolate, and exceedingly good coffee. All the beautifully hand-crafted chocolates are made in-house by highly skilled chocolatiers. This training has certainly paid off, with the company now boasting the enviable title of ‘Australia’s Most Awarded Chocolate Company’.
