Bunnings Warehouse is not the place you would normally think of to have a hot chocolate but even hot chocolate connoisseurs have to buy hardware on occasions. The Hardware Café is a comfortable café inside the Mile End Bunnings Warehouse. It provides pre-packaged snacks and has an espresso machine.

The hot chocolate is unfortunately delivered in a paper cup even for customers dining in. It comes with a bubbly froth and a sprinkle on top in the shape of hammer. Customers have the options of marshmallow but it is dunked in the drink as there is no saucer. The chocolate flavour is a surprising good dark chocolate and the drink is a creamy texture.
