The box itself was lovely, bearing a circa. 1950's picture taken in Cambridge, Ontario. In my opinion, the chocolate itself was OK and nothing more. It was very sweet and did not have the depth I am looking for. I have found that the chocolate/candy in North America (Canada and the U.S.) is sweeter than the U.K. and European chocolate - and less cocoa-y. It was beautifully presented, the packaging and the box itself lovely as a gift.

Personally, by looking at the quality of the chocolate, it didn't blow me away. But they did offer some interesting choices. The prices for gummy candy was way out of line, but they did package it nicely. I guess the prices here speak to the experience. We also bought peanut brittle and pistachio brittle. It was delish.

The challenging part is that my husband is allergic to gluten. Nothing on Doordash or Skip the Dishes was coming up. I emailed The Cake Box the day before his birthday and they were extremely helpful and accommodating. Not only was The Cake Box able to bake his favorite flavor of cupcake (chocolate) , they delivered them for a minimal fee and added a birthday card. My husband is a picky eater and he LOVED the cupcakes. This made me look like a super wife! Thank you Emily and The Cake Box for saving the day!!

We are from Toronto where there are tons of gluten free options, but nothing comes close to the Cake Box products. The desserts were delicious (I can't believe the icing is dairy free), not crumbly (a common problem with gluten free cakes) and simply gorgeous. I haven't had a gluten free "confetti" cake since I was a child - this brought back wonderful memories.

You can barely hear the staff and when they come to you they seemed as if we had no time to look at which pastries we wanted. We spent roughly $40 on several items.

The store is pretty clean and well-maintained and the staff are very nice and friendly. We went here during the second phase of Ontario reopening plan, so we where not allowed to sit inside and all the tables were blocked. We ordered "Cookilicious" and it was so good. It was too sweet for my taste, but the combination of waffle, brownie, Nutella and ice cream was amazing. And I believe it was perfectly enough for 3 people.
