Ordered fudge to be delivered. This was my favorite treat when I holidayed as a child in Whangarei. It did not disappoint. I’m only disappointed I didn’t order more. Also delivery was super fast. Thanks!

Nice to have a cafe open after 3pm in Whangarei... Great chocolate and ice cream offerings plus menu board eats. Very popular after school ice cream parlour. Recommend a visit.

If a company’s puts their name on a product you must try it. So the Fudge Farm sundae is what we ordered - when it was handed to me I must say I felt a little disappointed at the size but actually turns out it was the perfect size - large scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce and real fudge crumble on top…but wait, once I got to the bottom of the cup there was a delicious fudge surprise. Next time I’m in Whangarei it will be my first stop. Also great selection of scoop ice cream and nice outside area to sit with view of the harbour.

This is hands down nicest fudge iv had smooth soft buttery goodness well done. And the choclates that we had was so good. But the Choclate Raspberry liquoce is the best there is.

Really loved the vibe and staff were lovely. The chocolates were the highlight for me. Beautiful display with so many flavors. The mango heart was my favorite and the strawberry and cream. The frappe type drink was also a hit and I tried some Russian fudge. Would love to come back here again and try more stuff!

Got to stop by and pick up the fudge to bring back to Perth! Managed to eat our way through a range of chocolates with high recommendations for the Feijoa Honey, Macadamia, plum and the passionfruit too. Great staff who were very patient while we decided what we were buying! Busy little place but the lines move fast and definitely worth it.
