Steven ter Horst Chocolatier Cafe

A reader alerted me to this Café. It is in a block of shops north of the Cremorne Hotel at 221d Unley Road, Unley. Steven ter Horst has been providing chocolates at the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market and his wholesale business for many years now and in December opened this Café tucked away on Unley Road. The focus of the shop is wonderful chocolates arranged like precious jewellery in glass cabinets, but the shop also provides desserts and coffees. It is open most days including Saturday morning and Thursday night.

The hot chocolate came in a black ceramic cup and saucer. It was topped with a thin froth and a sprinkle of chocolate powder. The chocolate flavour was a good dark Belgian chocolate and was not too sweet. The consistency was more watery than I am used to. After discussions with Steven and his staff it is clear they are putting some serious time into developing the recipe for a good hot chocolate to please their patrons and I look forward to returning to see the results of their efforts. The cost of the hot chocolate was $4.50.
