In-store (Spring Hill, Brisbane) customer comment...
I travel around Australia a lot and buy chocolates in many locations, but I keep coming back to Mayfield Chocolates - nothing I've found seems to match them.

Good evening,
I was given a Christmas gift via my workplace [employer]. The little pack of Florentines.
I am rarely surprised these days, however I must tell you just how delightful they were.Quite exceptional in fact!
I shared the last one with my son tonight and we enjoyed them with a very good cup of coffee.
Please accept our congratulations on just how lovely they are.
As the biggest chocoholic in the world that is a compliment indeed.
I also want to say that I have not heard of Mayfield Chocolates before and I seriously want to know why I have not.
[My employer] could not have chosen better... and Aussie too.
Kind regards

I have been a wholesale customer of Mayfield Chocolates for almost 7 years. I have consistently found Peter and his team to be bright and friendly, enormously helpful and justifiably proud of their products. Their chocolates are amazing, and my customers were constantly delighted by the quality. Just as importantly, Peter gave us his full support and always helped with our merchandising, reordering, seasonal products and point-of-sale displays. He spent time with myself and my staff to ensure we understood the product, how to display them, how to sell them and how to package them in his elegant chocolate boxes. He always made our chocolates fresh to order, and would monitor our sales of each item - suggesting improvements in our product range and ensuring our stock levels were perfect: not running out of a particular chocolate, but keeping the chocolates fresh by not storing them too long. Mayfield's have vast experience in packaging and transporting their chocolates and ours always arrived in perfect condition. These unique chocolates were a anice little add-on sale for most of my customers, making them well worth stocking. I commend Mayfield Chocolates to any other retailer without hesitation.
Thank you for all your support Peter and the Team at Mayfields!

Thank you very much for those extraordinarily fine chocolates. They are without doubt the best chocolates I have ever tasted.

We have had a number of people ask about the chocolate over the weekend and when we tell them we will be stocking Mayfield, they get quite excited. Your reputation is excellent (but of course you know that).
Kind regards

Letter from retailer...
I .. hope you don't mind me taking this opportunity to retell a delightful scene in our shop last Friday. [D] is a learned and well-traveled (sic) Professor of English literature. Now in his 80's, he has a keen mind and a very gentle nature. Late in the afternoon, he came into our shop and said:
"I have one complaint about these Mayfield Florentines! They are too perfect. In fact" he proclaimed, "give me three more packets so I can attempt to find the imperfect one!"
This of course led to a protracted discussion on Plato's realm of the ideal, and the old professor left our shop brandishing his 3 packets of Florentines, which he announced to new customers entering the store - were indisputably the best Florentines in time and space...

Letter from Japanese customer...
When I went to Gold Coast Australia on honeymoon in this September, I bought "Mayfield Chocolates" and bring them home in Japan. And we (with my husband) ate them, talking that we have never had such great tasty chocolates.
So we hope that we could have them from now on.
We hope your success from Japan.

Dear Peter & Danica
We loved your chocolates which were a gift this week. They are superior to the imported which we usually buy. Do any stores in Sydney stock yours?...
