Monsieur Truffe is a chocolate shop slash cafe on the Collingwood side of Smith St near the lovely Wabi Sabi Salon. They do a simple French breakfast of coffee or hot chocolate and plain or chocolate croissants, which are divine. The coffee is was average when I was there but once they get a new barista and the business gets settled (they have been open about 3 months) I am sure it will improve.

You can sample many of the chocolates and the raspberry in particular is wonderful. The interior is a mixture of retro and contemprary furniture with brown and green the dominant colours. The chocolate croissant I had was possibly the best I’ve every had in Melbourne and the food is presented on beautiful Japanese plates. It’s a fantastic addition to the rapidly gentrifying south end of Smith St.
