I love squishy soft macarons the best! The entire store is full of chocolate but it's also surprisingly kind of spacious. Next time I am going to try their ice cream! I can't wait! My friend said their coffee was incredible as well. The chocolate macaron was the best macaroon/macaron I've had, ever! A+

When I was working in Rochester, MN, I had the fortune of sharing a small office with a fellow…read moreCanadian. Each office would have a maximum of two employees. We hit it off and to this day, we remain good friends. She hailed from Calgary. She got me into Bernard Callebaut, a Belgian chocolatier who has been in Calgary for decades. She brought me a small copper box after having visited Calgary over the weekend and I was hooked. The assortment of Belgian chocolate that she got me was yummy, creamy, and special. While living in the States, I still went to see my dentist twice a year in Winnipeg, in the River Heights area of the city. I used to live in this part of town before I moved to Osborne Villiage. The deadly part about seeing my dentist was dropping by this Bernard Callebaut next door afterwards. So much for keeping my teeth clean. Thirty minutes later, I was devouring chocolates! This store is bright and inviting. Various chocolates are nicely displayed behind glass. You can either choose specific ones (the dark chocolate orange and coconut ones are my favourite, but there isn't really a bad chocolate at this place), or make things easier by picking up a copper box. Each copper box has an assortment of white, dark, and milk chocolates that seem delicate, but pack a ton of flavour when you have them. These copper boxes come in various sizes to suit your budget and sweet tooth. They are also great for gift-giving. You can also get chocolate in the shape of letters. They always looked cool to me. Staff here were always pleased to see me, mainly because I was a regular customer back then and ended up getting a few boxes to take back with me back to Rochester. They were always kind, helped me with any questions that I had, and made sure that my purchases were safely packed for my plane ride. There used to be a Bernard Callebaut in Etobicoke a good decade ago. It has since closed. The last time I was at a Bernard Callebaut store was in Ottawa in 2015. It was located steps away from my hotel in ByWard Market. I ended up bringing back a stash for me and a bag of milk chocolate-covered pretzels for my colleagues. This bag was gone within half an hour of my sharing it with them. One person, a vegetarian, loved them so much that she kept the empty bag. These days, Bernard Callebaut offers ruby chocolate. Yum! I am tempted to place an order online. Currently, shipping is free across Canada when you buy $50 worth of chocolate. All stores are closed due to COVID-19. I am thrilled that this Bernard Callebaut store is still around. I have nothing but positive, fond memories of buying chocolate here, having some, and sharing some with folks. It is the best Belgian chocolate. Parking by this store can be a bit tricky. You either can park at the 7-Eleven lot next door or along Queenston, and then walk over. I used to walk over here when I lived in River Heights, which seems like a dream now! (153)

So I have not actually been to this store but if I did, I would probably stock up on boxes of the…read moreRussian mints (which aren't mints but chocolate)! My friend tells me they are their signature chocolate that have been around for a long time so they've had time to perfect the chocolate. She went to the store and brought be back a box which was a beautiful green box. Inside there were 12 chocolates. I love mint; mint and chocolate, mint tea, peppermints, and one of these really satisfies my craving for mint! Each piece isn't large but enough for 2 or 3 bites to savour the melt in my mouth taste. I'm not sure the price of the box but I'm guessing it was reasonable. I wish I could buy more of these without having to travel to Winnipeg but now I have a reason to visit there!

I had the best birthday cake ever here - the "chocolate zen" is their signature dessert and rightly…read moreso! The cake has a thin bottom layer of chocolate cake and filled with a semi-dense chocolate mousse/pate like interior. Hard to explain (look at the pic) as it had the texture of a cheesecake but it wasn't. Yeah, I know, bad explanation. Anyhow, the rest of the cake was covered with a dark chocolate ganache and topped off with white chocolate curls and strawberries. I loved that that the cake wasn't overly sweet. All the various forms of chocolate complemented each other and combined into a smooth and rich taste. You can always tell when a cake is make with quality ingredients and this cake is definitely up there with the best desserts I've tried. This cake is such a winner that I think it might be our family's go-to special occasion cake for the next while! Price wise, this place is on par with all the nice bakeries in the city - 6" for $28.00, 8" for $40.00, 10" for $48.00, 12" for $58.00. We got the 6 inch cake and it was more than enough for 6 people with a little leftover.

My Pomegranate Hibiscus tea was exquisite. I love how they gave me milk on the side to pour into my tea as requested. They also don't mind giving you sugar to add to the liquid. My friend tried the Peach Punch and it was very sweet. They also put the tea in beautiful cups and the timer for seeping the tea are cool little hourglasses. My friend and I decided to eat "PEI Mussels and bread" the Mariniere version. The mussels were delectable! Nice, plump and easy to chew and swallow. The soup at the bottom of the cute little cauldron like pot they give you is White Wine, Garlic, Onion, Parsley, Cream and it is a very thick creamy soup. Our waiter was tall, handsome and very polite and knowledgeable. He was very helpful. I would love to come back here to taste more teas!

Packed to the walls busy! I arrived late last night so I was dragging and hungry. Ordered a cappuccino and a bacon quiche, and the woman handling the pastry was super nice and offered to heat it up.

Offerings are so good, plenty of stuff for anyone to enjoy and it's pretty amazing how busy it was at 10:15 on a Thursday morning. Support small owned businesses! I hope to be back sometime in the future!
