It used to be that Trampoline, the specialty ice cream shop down the road, had the only chocolate fountain in the area. Not so anymore. San Churro has three.

The Spanish chocolateer on Brunswick Street has fast become a local favourite. Who can walk by a chocolate fountain (or three) and not stop to stare? Usually packed at night time, this small specialty café spills out onto sidewalk seating. Though do be prepared to wait for a seat between 5pm-8pm on certain nights.

Their treats come in a variety of ways. The Spanish hot chocolate is their signature drink. Made with chilli powder, it's dark chocolate with a kick. Also note worthwhile is the Spanish latte made with sweet condensed milk. Perfect for the coffee with sugar junky. They also offer a range of cold chocolate drinks. Most drinks are around $5. San Churro also offers a plethora of handmade truffles (for something like $3 a piece). If you prefer something a bit larger the churros with chocolate are for you; they come with your choice of dark, white, or milk chocolate dipping sauce. This is enough for two to share or for one divine chocoholic.

Note: a full plate of the churros plus a hot chocolate can be overwhelmingly sweet. However, sharing a plate and getting a hot chocolate each seems to work just fine. Churros will cost around $5.

Other desserts include chocolate ice-cream (with chocolate sauce of course!) and chocolate brownies among others. You can even get your churros and hot chocolate to go.

Highly recommended for any chocolate lover.
