It was my first time at this location in Scarborough and I instantly turned into a super happy kid…read morewalking inside! One of the staff approached us and offered a free sample of their new flavour Maple which was an immediate thrill! The ambiance in the store was magical and I felt like Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. My eyes were already eating all they could see around the store! So much to choose from and since it was my birthday my friend treated me to the Pick & Mix deal of 15 for $12. This is what I got: *Pistachio x2 *Milk Mint x2 *Milk Orange x2 *Dulce de Leche x2 *Snickerdoodle *Raspberries & Cream *Coconut *Maple *Milk Dark 60% *Milk Dark 70% So much fun choosing from the colourful wrapping and flavours! And this chocolate is always a delicious treat which I've been enjoying for decades. My only wish is there was another Pick & Mix choice between 12 and 75 chocolates like 30!

This Lindt outlet store is the closest one to my home. It takes roughly fifteen minutes for me to…read moredrive over to this store. The store is close to a pho restaurant and McDonald's. Just look for either one of these restaurants in Markham Road and keep driving in until you see Lindt. The store offers a variety of chocolate bars, individually wrapped chocolate balls, and gift boxes. There are often pretty decent deals. I come here just before Christmas to get my chcolate fix and gifts. If I need a birthday gift, I always find a fitting one here. There are typically free samples here. Go for them! Staff here are friendly and helpful. I love everything that I have purchased at this store. (107)

I cannot believe such a place exists in this quaint little neighborhood, this place has an upstairs…read moreseating area, and it was quite lovely. You can see all the thought that went into making this space just perfect for you to enjoy! They had so many touches of comfort, the bench and chat seating. They even had a rocking chair for patrons to use. We ordered the hot chocolate, made with the vanilla sea salt bar. I can't say we would order this again, I'm used to milk in my hot chocolate, and this was a chocolate bar that was blended with hot water, and served, and didn't emulsify well enough for me to be a repeat customer for the hot cocoa. However, I did get 4 chocolate bars to take home, and cannot wait to go back to grab some more. Really enjoyed the space and the chocolate bars.

Impressive line-ups of quality fine chocolates!…read more Finally came here to pick up my order (chocolate & a cake - Crème brulée Dôme) for our Valentine's day. And my visit did not end just for pick-up. I spent time in the store as they have interesting imported items on every shelf and at every corner of the store. All pretty looking, thinking about my future gift plans! I could not resist buying fresh cheese which they carefully select. I got "Morbier AOP des Forges" semi-soft cows' milk cheese of France, semi-hard with complex flavor. I also picked up Caper & Anchovy tapenade. It went very well with the cheese. I can spread this on everything to make it a good wine snack!!!! The chocolate was amazing. Each piece has its own character, with variety of textures. Very good quality. I should come back again to try other flavors. Addictive. Creme brulee Dome was smooth and light, although I wanted more textural variations in each bite. Actually, this place has been in my list for a long time - it is one of the few places that carry Mont Blanc cake in east Toronto. But it was not available on today's visit. They rotate the cake selections. I was advised to check again for availability - I will!!!

Douce France is not your typical Toronto patisserie. While others bake and make things here, Douce…read moreFrance chooses to import everything fresh from France. The result? Pastries that are indulgently buttery, croissants that are airily flaky, chocolates that are delicately refined and not overly sweet. The main reason though I keep coming back here time and again is because, once the weather gets cold, Douce France starts offering one of my most favourite drinks in the whole world: Angelina's hot chocolate. Thick. Dense. Intense. It's easily the best hot chocolate in the city, no contest. Pricey, yes, but worth it's weight in gold. How do you say "heaven" in French?

The best place for filled chocolates!…read more A day before valentine's day, this year I decided to try this place for a gift for my partner. Glad to finally try this well-reputed little chocolatier! I tried coming here a few days prior after work, but I couldn't find a parking and gave up. Street parking is only available until 4pm on Queen S E. So I came here around lunch time. The store was full of customers with the same purpose! They got pre-packaged gift boxes (mixed with milk, dark and white chocolate with more milk kinds), but I wanted to select on my own as my partner loves dark. I picked 12pcs. Here are the memorable ones. # Cupidon (dark chocolate ganache) : Simplest but best!!!! If you like dark, it is a must try. # Grand Marnier: Dark chocolate filled with super light Grand Marnier flavored whipped butter cream, with chunky nuts. Yummmmm!! # Truffle: Dark chocolate truffle filled in cocoa powder - loaded with cocoa flavor. So smooth. Loved it! # Scotch: Be prepared. It has real scotch inside. Don't bite. Liquor runs on tongue as chocolate melts. Eyeopening and delish! #Rum: Same as above! # Tresor : white chocolate truffle cream, classic. # Iresh Cream: Super creamy filling. # Moka: OMG. Usually milk chocolate is not my favourite but this one is excellent. Mild milk chocolate (outside) releasing cacao flavour then I met really really smooth buttercream coming out next. Delicate....! # Citron: Rich lemon buttercream is perfectly matching the dark chocolate. # Caramel : Smooth, not sticky! The dark chocolate shell brings out the sweet caramel flavour. Another delicate one. All the filled chocolate had thin shell and smooth fillings. Flavour of the shell (dark, milk and white) is delicately matched with the character of the fillings. I personally think their buttercream ones are excellent with super smooth texture. What I liked most about this place was that their texture is not monotone. I did not get bored at all. Appreciated each pieces flavour and delicacy. Highly highly recommended!

We got the obligatory chocolate piece (meh) but quickly focused on ordering "the ultimate" - a vanilla icecream bar thrice dipped in chocolate (white then dark then dark again), and coated in almonds or sprinkles (we chose to do both, so a side of each). Yum!!! 2 stars for the chocolate, 4 stars for the icecream (could have been 5, but the dark chocolate coating tasted a bit too much like milk chocolate to me). Service was also friendly and quick. Would come back for more of the icecream bars!

I have to be 100% honest…read more Purdy's chocolates don't thrill me except for their peanut brittles, English brittle and their Fair Trade 100% dairy free chocolate from Peru. I bought a couple of matcha truffles to try. Purdys' problem in my personal opinion is that they use too much sugar and not enough cocoa. This is a chocolatier, after all, and not a candy store (unless I am mistaken). Polite counter service always.
