Indulge Fine Belgian Chocolate offers a multisensory retail and café experience in Bendigo Bank Central, at the heart of the shopping, arts and heritage area of Bendigo, Central Victoria.
Hayley and her team opened the Indulge cafe in December 2008. The business has grown organically, eventually requiring The Indulge Chocolate Lab to be opened in September 2015, allowing a separate production area and room for the monthly Food Fossickers tour.
With a background in food production, Hayley has and continues to study chocolate making under Australia’s ‘Queen of Chocolate’ Kirsten Tibballs from Savour Chocolate & Patisserie School. After years of working with chocolate, she still loves biting into a nice piece of dark chocolate at the end of the day!
The Indulge range is added to constantly, with The Indulge Chocolate Lab operating six days a week, specialising in moulded chocolates and chocolate bars, all made with Belgian Callebaut chocolate, sourced ethically from around the globe.
More recently Indulge have partnered with local producers, including Lake Tyrell Salt to create a smoked salt chocolate bar, Pink Muesli to create bars and easter eggs, and the award-winning Shiraz Voigner from Turner’s Crossing.
With a varied range of products available, including:
- boxed chocolates from our wide selection of individual chocolates, from 2 – 35 pieces
- bars in a range of flavours, sizes and packaging options
- hampers – some pre-made and ready to purchase, or with notice (usually a day or two) hampers can be for you
- an extensive Easter range, including an OTIS bunny and packages of all shapes and sizes
- and extensive Christmas range, including chocolate tree baubles and custom-made Santas of all different sizes
The team at Indulge also love working with corporate partners and can make various options to suit your requirements.
