Roger's Chocolates was a new chocolate brand to me and certainly the reason why is that it's a…read moreCanadian brand and even though it's very close to us our trips up there are quite infrequent. We got a regular milk chocolate bar and that sucker is rich and dense. One row of chocolate squares after a meal and I'm good. The chocolate bar definitely isn't American corporate chocolate and actually tastes like chocolate as opposed to anything else. If you're like Steve and me and just want a little bit of richness and a tad of sweet then this chocolate bar is right up your alley. If you have the stamina and metabolism to eat one of these in one sitting I'd love to record the experience (just kidding, I probably wouldn't actually). Roger's Chocolates also has truffles in which in this case I actually would like to try one or two.

The quality of their chocolates really surprised us. I think my husband said it best. I mean, who…read moreknew that Canada had such great chocolate? The Heritage Store was closed when we arrived during our BC Bites & Sights tour. Fortunately, we were able to see some of it through the window. It's an architecturally historic building & shop. It was a treat just to see the old wooden built-in shelves, leaded glass decor, and stained glass half dome entryway that appears to be a Queen Anne Revival style of Victorian architecture. I don't know, it could be a mixture of different styles. All I know is that we saw a lot of this during our tour. They saved us a rather large, and individually wrapped, vanilla cream chocolate as part of the tour. I'm not usually a fan of flavored cream chocolates. I remember getting stuck with that one piece of Russel Stover chocolate that nobody wanted. Well, this vanilla cream one was nothing like that. It's on a totally different quality level. Let's just say that we loved it so much that we placed a mail order of various flavors. My BYO 5 pack included flavors such as maraschino cherry, rum, coffee, blueberry, and dark peanut butter. I also bought a cute tin full of various types of chocolates. This assortment had a few of their signature Empress Squares as well. Everything is (or was) delicious! We're still going through the box. So far, we love all of them. The "Whale Song" by Dana Statham is a great keepsake. We saw whales when our cruise ship was entering Victoria Harbour. It's what I would have bought if the store had been open on that very late Friday evening. Heck, I probably would have bought more had it been open after 10:30pm. Maybe it's a good thing that it was closed. I saved the best for last. The prices are actually pretty decent. Get them while you're there. I can't say the same about their shipping fees to Florida (hot climate). They did arrive in great condition via FedEx. I'd order again, but it would only be once a year due to shipping costs. It's worth a visit when in Victoria.

The universe does not function that way. The staff were a little timid and quiet in their social skills, but that can be staff trained into them. The staff do answer your questions. The decor of the store is nothing special as it looks like some street corner store inside a shopping mall.

Ever. And everything there is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free. My favorites were the dark choc sea salt caramels and the maple dark chocolates. Their soft serve is to die for. It is gluten-free and dairy free and I havent been able to have soft serve in about 20 years. They were able to put dark chocolate topping on it that hardened into a nice shell and it was served in a gluten-free waffle cone that was to die for. Georgina helped us and had incredible customer service. It could not have been better. She was happy to help, was super knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure I found something I loved without making me feel pressured at all. The store is kept really nice and it feels good to be in there since organized nicely, and not overcrowded Be sure to go here. You will love it and want to return!! I am excited for you

Best soft serve I have ever had!…read more We stopped at Chocolate Favoris on an evening in mid May, when our cruise ship, Norwegian Bliss, docked in Victoria for the evening. We walked into the downtown area and browsed some shops. We decided to grab a sweet treat before walking back to our ship. After walking in and out of a few other ice cream shops, we noticed Chocolate Favoris and went in to check it out. We immediately noticed that this spot was different. All four of us ordered a different soft serve dessert and we were blown away. I had chocolate with hazelnut spread and hazelnut chocolate candies in a waffle cup. Amazing! We devoured our treats on the walk back to our ship and they were, by far, the best part of our short visit to Victoria and the best soft serve any of us had ever had. Highly recommend!

That said, they keep things moving and get you served quickly even when there's a crowd. Rich, indulgent, and incredibly satisfying.
