Welcome to Chocoblock – The Sweetest Spot in Waterfall
At Chocoblock, we believe every bite should feel like a warm hug—a little moment of joy, made with love. Nestled in the heart of Waterfall, Durban, Chocoblock is a cosy artisanal bakery where handmade treats are crafted with care, heart, and a sprinkle of nostalgia.
A Legacy of Love
Chocoblock is more than a bakery—it’s a family story. Natasha Chetty, our founder, grew up in a home where the kitchen was always alive with the smell of something delicious. Her mum, Shaleen, was the heartbeat of every family gathering—baking, laughing, and sharing food that brought everyone together.
Years later, Natasha passed that same magic on to her daughters, Hailea and Gia. Kneading dough, licking spoons, giggling over cupcake disasters—it was in those flour-dusted moments that the dream of Chocoblock truly began. And of course, no bake ever made it past the kitchen without being taste-tested by her husband, who proudly took on the very serious role of chief sampler.
From the World to Waterfall
After spending nearly a decade in the UAE, Natasha returned home with suitcasefuls of inspiration and a heart full of purpose. She had tasted pastries from Paris, dates from Dubai, and spices from souks—and she was ready to stir those memories into something special for South Africa.
That something became Chocoblock—a little bakery with a big heart.
What We Bake
At Chocoblock, everything is handmade in small batches using the finest ingredients and a whole lot of love. From gooey brownies to delicate biscuits, our treats are made to comfort, delight, and bring people together.
We know firsthand how important it is to feel included—Natasha and her brother both live with gluten intolerances, so creating delicious treats that cater to dietary needs isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s personal. That’s why we lovingly offer gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergy-conscious options. Because no one should miss out on the joy of something sweet.
Sweet Dreams Travel Far
Chocoblock’s magic has already reached beyond our little Durban kitchen. After a successful taste test with one of London’s largest coffee chains (they adored us!), we’re excited to be launching soon in the UK.
Come Be Part of Our Story
Whether you’re nearby in Waterfall or halfway across the world, we’d love to share a little sweetness with you. Every Chocoblock treat carries a piece of our story—of mums and daughters, dreams and dough, and the belief that love really can be baked into every bite.
We’re so glad you’re here.
