1. Makana Chocolate Boutique
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 227 reviews
This is a chocolate boutique where they make speciality chocolates before your eyes (and you can have a go too!) and the products are the best chocolates, without fear of contradiction, you'll find anywhere!

We stopped in after visiting the Saturday market across the street while on holiday. It was fun watching them make the macadamia caramel corn and sampling the treats. The manager was so friendly and seemed genuinely interested in our family; she is a gem. The macadamia butter toffee crunch is addictively good. We bought a gift basket (a gift we gave ourselves) that included this, and the toffee crunch didn’t last 24 hours; we were all sneaking pieces of it. So so good! It would be cool if they expanded to the point of having more of a tour option or some type of interactive chocolate making experience,

We stopped on our way out of Kerikeri for chocolate purchase and a coffee and ice cream stop next door. The chocolate treats are expensive but very delicious. Lovely clean and friendly place
