When Whakatane local Richard Sharp and his wife Tatiana from Czech Republic returned home in December 2020 with their triplet boys (2.5 years) from Switzerland they were looking for a new challenge.  Over in Switzerland they had a successful Swiss chocolate factory “Funky Chocolate Club” making hand crafted chocolate, chocolate workshop and serving great coffee.  They still have a love for everything chocolate so chocolate lovers, watch this space!

Since joining the RH team, Richard & Tatiana won Rookie Franchisee of the Year in 2022 and Brand Ambassador of the Year in 2023.
Next time you’re in Whakatane be sure to come and visit the Robert Harris team and experience delicious freshly made food and of course – really great coffee, all served with exceptional hospitality.
