Jones the Grocer

Jones the Grocer is a combination of gourmet grocer and Café. Merkel was interested in the four varieties of powdered hot chocolate mix available from the Grocer including Belgian Chocolate and Dutch Chocolate. According to the website there are four Jones the Grocer franchises in Australia and also outlets in New Zealand, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. This outlet was at 123 King William Road, Hyde Park.

Merkel ordered the hot chocolate for $4.50. It came in a large mug with swirl of white and brown froth on top and a pink marshmallow. The taste was delicious with a real chocolaty Belgian flavour.
