Great place for people who need/appreciate gluten free and vegan food. They have frozen home made vegan, gluten free, dairy free food as well as a few shelves of other health food, coffee, tea, sugar free kumbucha. They also have many desert choices all gluten free, low glycemic and vegan. They have a small dinning area where they serve hot meals made on order from scratch, nothing pre-cooked so you have to wait a little but the wait is well worth it. Small family run business where you feel welcome and where you can relax while having a healthy meal. A place to discover. read more

We went in to order a cake and the girl behind the counter said, "Ya, you gotta order cakes online". We asked if she could just write it down since we drove all the way there to order it, and she refused. Said we needed to order it online, there was no other way. We said the website never stated we could only order online, but she just shrugged. She was very rude. No apology, not even a smile. We left. They can sell their unbelievably over-priced cakes to someone else. read more

I started 1.5 years ago with the whole food plan based diet "WFPBD" and was struggling by finding a please nearby that offers options for my new life style. This place is a gem. Extremely friendly and customer oriented approach. Very rich and delicious options. I tried the lemon cake and the berry shortcake. All with natural ingredients and gluten free Will defiantly be here more often. Love this place. read more

Beautiful, clean food noticeably made with care. I grabbed 4 pastries on my way to see my vegan cousin and we loved everything. Can't wait to grab some pre-made meals in the future! A little pricey ($30 for 4 pastries) read more

Stopped in here for the first time for a late morning treat. My brother in law is a celiac so he's had treats from Choko-Moko for years. I got the apple cinnamon muffin and a loaf of chocolate banana paleo loaf. Both were so good! A lot of gluten-free food can be dry and bland, but not this stuff. I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend! read more

I was really surprised that there's a vegan place in Ajax so I had to check it out. Food is tasty and unique. I'm just not too happy about the prices since it's a little overpriced and the portions are small. The main entrees are at $14 a piece considering the place isn't fancy at all. I will always try a restaurant at least once but I won't be coming back to this place. I can get cheaper vegan food elsewhere. read more

This place is a rip-off, $7 for a scone and $5 for a tiny little muffin and both of them are very stale/dry. There was no price tag on any of the products. I highly recommend to avoid this place or at least check the price before you order anything!!! read more

We recently started looking up places that are gluten free and were very happy to find this place. It is family owned and operated and is tucked away in South Ajax. Everything is gluten free and you can ask for gluten and dairy free and what not and they can most probably make it for you right there. They make their food fresh so you may have to wait a bit but it is worth the wait. We had the chicken pesto panini, grilled veggie panini and a sloppy Joe panini. We also had their gluten and dairy free cup cakes which are decadent. We see ourselves becoming regulars here. read more

I was looking for a nearby vegan bakery to pick up some desserts for after dinner for my aunt who is vegan. I was soo shocked to see that there was a vegan bakery all the way out in the east end. Not only is this bakery completely vegan it also is gluten free and refined sugar free too. That being said I was skeptical how delicious these items could really be... I came in on a Saturday afternoon and was pretty shocked to see that the bakery was vacant. The bakery is split into two areas - one half has a few shelves of health food items then in the centre is the bakery showcase / order desk and the far right side is a dine area with cafeteria style seating. The lady behind the case was really helpful in describing what all the desserts were as nothing had labels or descriptions or even prices displayed. Here is a run down of I choose: Nanaimo Bars - One of my favourite desserts, I was shocked to see that they had these here. Tastewise these were really good pretty close to the real thing, nice chocolate coconut base, creamy "custard" filling, and chocolately glaze on top. Date Square - Also great no complaints, gooey date filling crumbly oat crust. Blueberry Lemon Mini Loaf- Definitely could not tell this was gluten free as the texture was perfect. I adored the taste combination of sweet blueberries mixed into a lemon batter loaf with a crunchy lemon glaze on top. Twix bar - The shortbread crust was definitely not as good as the real thing probably because it was lacking that buttery richness, the caramel filling was a bit on the bland side and missing that deep rich flavour, and the use of a dark chocolate topping instead of a milk chocolate added bitterness to the bar that did not work. Carrot Cake - The texture of the carrot cake was a bit too crumbly and not holding together well, the "cream cheese" icing was more on the sweet side and missing that tanginess that I adore in cream cheese icing. Chocolate Coconut Roll - Very dense, nothing spectacular but good if you like chocolate and coconut, simply semisweet chocolate and sweetened coconut rolled together Overall I have to say the desserts were hit and miss but it was really nice to see that a bakery like this is out in the East End for people with dietary restrictions. My biggest complaint about this bakery is the price. I was soo shocked to hear my total was 60 bucks for the few desserts I picked! Charging 5.75 each for small nanaimo bars and twix bars is severely overpriced! Perhaps they should consider listing the price of the items. Or maybe this is why the place was soo vacant. read more

Not impressed with the service. Asking questions is like pulling teeth. Items in their freezer/fridge are not labeled with its ingredients. Food looks freezer burnt. No expirary date labeled.I bought chocolate eggs for my nephew. I wanted to ensure their was no cross contamination with any other nuts in the facility. The lady made seemed annoyed when I asked "I just want to make sure again there are no cross contamination win nuts" .... she passive-aggressively responded "it is made of chocolate and lemon". I told her I know you said that before but I just want to make sure there is no cross-contamination with nuts. Well what happened, shortly after ingesting the egg, my nephew had an allergic reaction and had to go to the emergency department. And yes, I agree with other customer comments, poor customer service and items over priced. read more

I haven't met a baked good here that I didn't absolutely love! Yes, it's pricier than conventional bakery items but it's extremely difficult to find allergen-friendly foods of this caliber that meet discerning tastes, so it's undoubtedly worth it! I've always been met with service that was friendly and respectful, so it's surprising to hear that others have had a bad experience. Visits to Chocko-Mocko are my monthly splurge/treat and I always look forward to each and every visit. The nanaimo bars (particularly the dark chocolate mint bars) are TO-DIE FOR! I highly recommend this place; it's my favorite! read more

One of my favourite brunch places and one of the only places to get vegan food in Ajax. I love coming here with friends on Saturday mornings for some Apple Cinnamon Crepes and a Cinnamon Roll Latte with almond milk. read more

I can no longer eat meat pie anywhere else because their meat pie is so delicious, it has ruined me for anything else! The chocolate mousse cups, nanaimo bars, lemon bars, brownies, scones - all the best I have ever tasted! My mom hadn't eaten chocolate cake in over 20 years because of her allergies. It was so good, we almost celebrated her birthday again the next day! 150% worth the price! read more

overpriced everything...they sell the same items at superstore for much less and the owner just has no expression she seemed confused when i asked her if they have frozen gluten free bread read more

For someone who is gluten intolerant and diabetic, this place is a meca for delicious food. They use coconut sugar in their baked goods, which has a much lower Glycemic Index. So, it is a great place for a sweet treat every now and then. Savour Pies - ALL fantastic. A bit pricey, but well worth every penny. Breads - fresh baked every day. Try the quinoa bread (special by order only). It is like good old white fluffy bread. Sweets - chocolate eclairs, cupcakes, butter tarts, banana bread, cookies!!! They are ALL SO GOOD. Lunch - the chicken pesto sandwich is my lunch item of choice. And the perogies!!!!! I am so very thankful for Choko-Mocko!! read more

I'm usually a big fan of this place because it's so wonderful how wide the selection of desserts is for a gluten free and vegan place! While most of their food tastes good, I found that it's very over priced ($7 for a cinnamon roll and $14 for 3 small pieces of crepe!). I've found that some of their items also taste stale sometimes. For example, I told her that her bread tasted stale compared to all the other times I had it, but she said she baked it this morning, and she gave me attitude and didn't seem apologetic about it. The lady is nice sometimes, but other times she also has an attitude, as others have mentioned in their reviews here. This is a bit unfortunate because you would usually want to encounter someone with more patience in a specialty shop like this. Today she put up a sign saying that she would be back in 20 minutes after picking her kids up from school. She knew that we had been waiting 40 mins for her to return already (and my baby and I walked around in the snowy -10 cold weather waiting for her). When she returned, I asked her if I could sit down and she asked me if I was going to be ordering anything first (which I had already asked before she left). It didn't seem like she wanted us to sit unless I purchased something else. We had already purchased 2 loaves of bread (which was already $20!) and I was so upset that she wanted us to purchase something else just to sit down. Unfortunately, I won't be going as regularly anymore because of the customer service here. read more

If you have specific food sensitivities or allergies like I do, this place is a haven. Not only is the service great but the food is amazing. I have taken friends there that do not have the issues that I do and they really enjoyed the food as well. When I go here I feel like a normal person as I can order just about anything on the menu. The desserts and coffee are wonderful. I had pizza for the first time in over 2 years! They have recently opened a location in Pickering as well. read more

Ridiculously priced. Huge selection of baked goods but the price of one baked good is $7. I bought a cupcake because I drove to ajax just to try this bakery and it was very dry and crumbly. I've had better gluten free baked goods for a fraction of the price of choko-mocko. Won't be returning. read more

Beware. While their food is delicious, their prices are outrageous. I mean $9 for a loaf of bread and $12 for 4 bagels? I'm just fed up with people taking advantage of people with gluten allergies. Their products also don't last. My loaf of bread went mouldy in under 4 days as did their bagels. If you've got a spare $5 I suggest you try their cookie sandwich. read more

Really good food. All the bake shop stuff is gluten free and vegan and very tasty. We are vegan so for dinner we had vegan crepe, vegan lasagna and vegan pie. It was all very good. I would come again. They cook it from scratch so the wait is a bit long but worth it. We will go back. By the way they do have meat dishes as well but they can make a lot of entrees in a vegan way and do have vegan cheese. I think their food would be great at a catered event! read more

The pros: great food, great options! The cons: 1) They do not list all their ingredients which is very annoying to people who have diet sensitivities (I was eating some of their breads and feeling awful, not realizing it had millet), and 2) They seem to get a little annoyed when you start asking questions about ingredients. They cut you off or don't respond. This is annoying and makes me not want to make the extra effort to get to Ajax... read more

I only gave 1 star because I had to, in order to write a review. Otherwise I would rate these two locations below 0. I unfortunately have the distinct pleasure of having intolerances to: wheat, barely, yeast, goat, sheep, cows milk, and casein, potatoes. There are a few more, but these are my main concerns. So happy to find Choko Mocko online. Drove quite a distance to go to this store. Beware ALL VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE PPL. WOW, PRICE GOUGING IS OFF THE CHARTS! $9.50 for a 1/2 size loaf of bread, $29.50 for a Pot pie. I bought 6 bagels, I small lemon square, chocolate bar, regular sized chicken pot pie, small individual beef pot pie.... WALKED OUT WITH A BILL OF $75 ..... I made the trip so I foolishly bought the products. I WILL NEVER go there again, almost 100% of the stuff they sell in the "grocery area" you can buy at Superstore, and the Pot pies tasted disgusting. AVOID THE AJAX AND PICKERING CHOKO MOCKO LOCATIONS AT ALL COSTS..... definitely not worth your hard earned money. For me, hard lesson, but well learned, I am now going to experiment over and over until I can make my own bread etc. read more

The food here is tasty, however the customer service is rotten. When you are catering to people who are conscientious about their choices, I believe there must be understanding that people want to know what's in the food. Either be prepared to answer a basic question about what's in a product (without a snarky attitude) or label things more clearly based on diet preferences (I.e gluten free, grain free, dairy free, whatever it may be free). read more

I've been going to this bakery for some time now so I guess I would be considered a regular customer. It is the only gluten free, dairy free, grain free bakery local and although for the most part I have always enjoyed the food items the customer service leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Having 3 successful local businesses myself I received a very wise piece of advice starting out as an entrepreneur many moons ago and that was you never know who you are speaking to so treat each customer like they are gold. My family all work in the health field so this bakery has the potential of receiving many referrals from us however the way you are treated from the time you walk in the door to the time you leave is like they don't care that you are a paying customer, it's like your just another number. Here is a prime example. They are only doing pick up orders right now due to Covid. Their opening hours are 10 am. I called in just prior to that and placed my order. I was told it would be a 15 minute wait due to them having previous orders and they do not want groups standing at their door for pick up. I placed the order in their parking lot and at 10:20 walked up to the door. At which time they opened the door and said " next time we should call when we are there". At no time during our wait did anyone else pick up anything. We certainly were not a priority and left again with the feeling that we do not matter. I can say this,all it would take is another one of this kind opening in the area and based on the same type of reviews that I've read to let me know I am not alone, I would be there in a second. read more

Horrible customer service. My mother has been going here for about 6 months now and she eats the (I believe it's called) French bread every day with her breakfast. We also both eat it together on weekends because she needs gluten and soy free bread. The price used to be $9.50 per loaf, which was bumped up by a dollar to $10.50 per loaf a little while ago. I'm fine with the price increase, however, a few days ago, my mother made her routine stop at Choko-Mocko to pick up her $10.50 loaf of bread. She grabbed the bread (like I'm sure most of us do) by the bag and she was not holding the actual bread itself. The female owner asked her if she wanted a bag and my mother said no and that she would be okay. Mind you, my mother lives right across the street from this plaza (I'd say not even 30ft) and when she left, the bread bag broke at the seam and her bread fell out on the ground onto the road. She went back into the store to let the owner know, thinking hopefully the owner would replace the dirty bread she just paid $10.50 for (good customer service). However, this did not happen. Instead, the owner told my mother how it was her fault and that no one holds bread by the bag. She said originally asked if she had wanted a bag prior to leaving. That's fine. Neither of us will be going back. I also strongly suggest to anyone who chooses to go there, make sure when asked for a bag you say 'YES'. Otherwise you may find your food lying on the middle of the road and will either need to spend double, or eat it. read more

My husband bought me a birthday cake from here this week: it was Awesome!!!!! Normally, I am a complete chocoholic, so I cannot even imagine how fantastic the chocolate cakes are?!?!!!!! But, because at the moment I am avoiding chocolate, the owner made me a raspberry maple cake-- wow!!!! It was so good, my whole family loved it, and my kids don't normally like cake of any sort (and they consume both gluten and dairy!!). So to have a gluten/dairy free cake that tastes and looks amazing is such a treat!!! We will definitely be back!!! read more

Amazinnnng food here. The menu food is always hot and fresh and the staff are very informative on ingredients etc. The baked goods section is so enticing, I always have to ask about what each item is, and usually end up picking a few to take home. Favorites are the cappuccino bars (when they have them!) read more
