My dear friend and I were shopping at RioCan Durham Centre a couple of Mondays ago. We had come out…read moreof the GAP Factory Store and saw this Purdy Chocolatier store diagonally across from it. I have only seen Purdys at shopping malls. It was my first time seeing a store in a plaza. This Purdys is next to Burgers on Fleek. Does anyone say on fleek anymore?! I remember one of my interns using that phrase back in 2017 or 2018. I would never use slang as a part of a business name, as it becomes dated as time goes on. I frankly hadn't heard of that phrase for years until I saw this business. I digress. I was first introduced to Purdys by two former interns. On their last day of their internship, they both got me chocolates from Purdys. One box had assorted chocolates and the other one had all hedgehog chocolates. Without any hesitation, we headed over to this store after we dropped off our recent purchases at our respective cars. The shopping damage continued at Purdys for me. We walked in. It was a pleasant store. I saw a display for Lunar New Year chocolates. Cool! My friend recently got vegan chocolate from Purdys for Christmas and loved it. She's more of a milk chocolate person than dark. I'm the opposite. I decided to try the vegan dark trail mix bar. I found out that this store has a small section of no-sugar-added chocolates on the right, in the corner, when you first walk in. Yay! I found hedgehog chocolates that didn't have any sugar added and snatched a box. I spoke to the woman at the counter. She was great to point out that the no-sugar-added bars were BOGO. Sweet! Okay, not literally. I noticed a huge chocolate Santa that was 50% off. I asked the woman whether it was hollow. You'd think that I'd get a yes or no response. Nope, I got neither. She said that some parts were thicker than other. So, I'm guessing it's hollow for the most part. I'd die eating that chocolate Santa. Maybe if I paced myself, I could freeze most of it and indulge whenever I wanted to. The woman at the store was nice. She placed everything in a purple bag. I paid with a debit card. I tapped and all was great. This store also has ice cream. I've never had Purdys ice cream, so I'll need to return. I love the chocolate that I bought. The quality is great. Yummy. The no-added-sugar chocolates were perfect. I'm a fan. I still need to have the vegan one. I got sidetracked by all the hedgehogs... haha! This store is awesome. I'll definitely return for more chocolate goodies and more. (8)

I love the energy and decor of this place! They really put a lot of thought into product placements and the whole store gives off such a warm and colourful vibe! Easter rabbits and hundreds of chocolates to choose from. There are also designer stainless steel water bottles, mugs, teas, filters, two pots and cups to buy, with famous artworks from the Group of 7, Van Gogh's Starry Starry Night and the Birth of Venus to name a few!! Check in and you will get a free truffle or a piece of designer chocolate!! I chose Dark Raspberry for mine and what a treat it was. I felt so special that I stayed and talked with the assistant for almost an hour as we bought some chocolates and drank some hot chocolate!! They use soy milk to cater to all needs and they have both regular, milk and dark Lindt chocolate options and cream can be added. They were recently awarded the Best Hot Chocolate in Lakefield and the Kawarthas, so you should really come check this place out if you are a local or just visiting/passing by!! The business been around for over 13+ years!! You can easily park at the Foodland market next door and walk up the pathway. Signage is very clear. Would definitely recommend!

Now is the time to think about Valentines Day gift, right? It was a very small business in the uptown Whitby where new businesses are coming and gone for the recent years. The owner told me that they've been in business about 2 years. How did I not notice? Anyways, their product line-up was not as extensive as I wished (bonbons, chocolate bars and a few kinds of hot cocoa). But the bonbons are beautifully arranged in the glass display case. So, to start - I got 6 bonbons. - STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE - CREME BRÛLÉE - COOKIES & CREAM - SMORES - SALTED CARAMEL - 70% DARK I liked them they apparently use good quality of chocolate. I wished they had more dark chocolate items. Outside layer was thin yet had intense/nice chocolate aroma. Inside of Crème Brulee, Salted caramel, and 70% dark were a bit monotone with all oozy texture, no other sensations. Others had a bit of textures added, with a layer of cookie. Each has its unique flavor. Enjoyable. $2.50 each. Super affordable. Yes, they are certainly in my Valentines' day gifts. Online order/shipping available.
