Melbourne has always celebrate a long and decadent love affair with chocolate and confectionary, with copious amounts of chocolate cafes, boutiques and even bars.

New to the Melbourne chocolate scene is Chocamama. Located in one of Melbourne’s most loved laneways – Degraves Street, this small but tightly packed candy store is sure to tantalize and delight your senses.

Lousie Hannell, owner and manager of the store, set up Chocamama in March of 2015 and since then has welcomed a flocking of Melbournians. Local Turkish delights, candied lollies and fudgy chocolate line the 1950’s themed walls. Each piece of confectionary has been sourced from in and around Melbourne, showcasing some of Melbourne’s finest and flavorsome delights.

Chocamama’s story is true to tradition, creativity and quality. Salted caramel shards, cookies ‘n’ cream rocky road and maple bacon chocolate are some of the great new flavour combinations.

Louise says “Everyone loves there traditional favorites. Our fresh liquorice, flavour packed boiled sweets, lavender rock, and fragrant soft Turkish Delight will not disappoint. People have so many wonderful childhood memories associated with confectionery and Chocamama aims to keep these memories alive and create new ones for the next generation”.

After 10 years in the chocolate industry, and another 10 out, owner Louise wanted to create a new dynamic Melbourne chocolate store experience. “The name Chocamama came about as I wanted something fun & memorable that reflected myself (mother of two rascals) and Chocolate.

“Our logo is black & white (very Melbourne). Our products are made in Melbourne! Chocamama loves her hometown, Melbourne,” says Louise.

Only having been opened for six months, Chocamama has not let their limited time on the streets of Melbourne, stop them from conquering the chocolate scene. They recently have been featured in the Herald Suns, Top 10 chocolate Spots to visit and were also mentioned in the Melbourne City Food Guide. This instant success is a testament to the fine quality of products and exceptional customer service Chocamama produces.

At the moment, Louise and the Chocamama team are concentrating on building their website, filling it up with over 300 products and looking for another city site!
