    Such a lovely chocolate store where all their chocolate are made in house by owner Lois!…read more Both the shopkeeper and her assistant are very upbeat and friendly. 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!

    When you first walk into the store, it smells really sweet and I could almost taste chocolate on…read morethe tip of my tongue just by inhaling. They have a variety of chocolates from truffles to bars to these cute little chocolate high heeled shoes on a shiny photo frame. My absolute favourite was the hot chocolate which is all milk and melted chocolate. So rich and soooo creamy! Mhmmm. Don't forget to Check In because the Check In Offer is one free chocolate! :)

    On the way to find a late lunch in town, we walked past this place ..... and then immediately…read moreturned around and went inside. The reason? A sign I could not resist: "CHOCOLATE COVERED BUTTER TARTS." Yes please. Inside, it's a very charming chocolate shop, with a lot of different creations. They've got shelves and pretty displays of candy, a large quantity of fudge (which actually seems to be one of their specialities, they offer free samples) and then a lot of truffles and other chocolate covered things. So, we picked up a couple of chocolate covered tarts. They have a variety of tarts and coverings. I had a plain tart with a salted caramel chocolate covering, and Lee had a plain chocolate and butter tart. One minus is the checkout is a little chaotic. There were a group of kids waiting, and it was a little confusing who was serving who, but we got it all sorted out. Later, we had these for dessert. Chocolate covered was a little bit of a misnomer. They're more chocolate topped, and the chocolate, while tasty, was a thick disc covering the top, which made it a little awkward to eat. I ended up just eating the disc separately. However, it was delicious, and that awkwardness shouldn't dissuade you from giving this place a try.

    They have quite a few things going on in this store. Between sweets, gifts, and Internet accessible…read morecomputer, they might be doing a bit too much. I'd like to see them focus on their strengths and really develop the food and small gift section.

    Still a five-star joint and just getting better. This year the butcher's stock was even more…read moreamazing, and not just the meats. Don't tell anyone, but I fell off the veg wagon *hard core* during our stay in Bala this year. I couldn't resist, and I was soooo glad I didn't. This year's meaty samplings included whole, marinated chicken; beef kebabs; pork tenderloin; jumbo tiger shrimp; sea scallops; beef burgers; lamb sliders; and prime beef steaks. The quality of meat here is blow-your-mind amazing, and most of it is cut, filleted, or ground right before your eyes. You can pre-order rarer meats, too, like bison, duck, elk, and rabbit. Also available are a selection of amazingly delicious cheeses including real smoked cheddar and black truffled goat. As well as gourmet crackers, chips, dips, and spreads. Not to mention tidbits like addictive Milford Bay smoked trout, brie wheels, charcuterie, and homemade frozen cookie dough to take back to the cottage. Insane. Staff is wonderfully friendly, a local family who loves what they do -- we visited nearly every day for 9 days, and they always recognized us, chatted with us a few minutes, and thanked us profusely for our business (I think we're putting the youngest through uni). And they're still trolling the lakes on their adorable pontoon boat, delivering your orders or stopping by your dock if you flag them down to let you browse that day's selection. This place has to be, without a doubt, one of the best butcher shops and gourmets on the planet, let alone Bala.

    This place is not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. This place is filled with premium…read moremeats, seafoods and cheeses. Premium comes at a price. But this is Muskoka cottage country and why not splurge. I have never bought a bad product here. The lamb, beef and fish has always been very fresh and very good. They have a great selection of frozen items as well. Also a place to get really good cheeses. A small selection but all of them top grade.
