    In celebration of International Chocolate Day on 13 September, we did something extra sweet here at Dineplan to celebrate. We set out on a choco-quest, quizzing our team about their go-to spots when the chocolate cravings hit! <\/p>\n

    From pastries and cake to frozen desserts and decadent chocolate cocktails, here are 18 of our favourite chocolate treats, handpicked by true aficionados.<\/p>\n

    Chocolate cakes and pastries<\/h3>\n
    \n

    When it comes to starting your day, there\u2019s nothing better than a fresh, buttery pastry. And, when it comes to artisanal pastries, it\u2019s hard to beat Coco Safar. With branches at the V&A Waterfront and in Sea Point, Ben swears by their chocolate croissant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    It was probably the best croissant I’ve ever had! \u2013 Ben McCabe <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    And for those afternoon cravings? The Sachertorte<\/strong> at Postcard Caf\u00e9<\/a> in Stellenbosch is a bestseller (and Paige\u2019s personal favourite) for a reason! Her words: \u201cWith layers of rich, dark Valrhona chocolate and almond cake, it\u2019s the perfect teatime treat.\u201d As for Mike R., he says the vegan chocolate brownie from Rachella’s Caf\u00e9 & Venue in Menlyn, Pretoria is one of his favourites.<\/p>\n
