The box itself was lovely, bearing a circa. 1950's picture taken in Cambridge, Ontario. In my opinion, the chocolate itself was OK and nothing more. It was very sweet and did not have the depth I am looking for. I have found that the chocolate/candy in North America (Canada and the U.S.) is sweeter than the U.K. and European chocolate - and less cocoa-y. It was beautifully presented, the packaging and the box itself lovely as a gift.

Personally, by looking at the quality of the chocolate, it didn't blow me away. But they did offer some interesting choices. The prices for gummy candy was way out of line, but they did package it nicely. I guess the prices here speak to the experience. We also bought peanut brittle and pistachio brittle. It was delish.

I have walked into other small, family-owned, specialist chocolate shops, Cooked with Calebaut and tried more exotic chocolates that come with a certificate telling you where they were grown and on what side of the hill the plants faced. None of them were as good as Candies of Merritt. The best of the best. Plus, the family that owns the shop are wonderful people to talk to.

Why haven't I discovered this place sooner! I've been going to school at the University for 7 years…read moreand I only just found this hidden treasure trove of fresh, delicious baked goodness. I wanted to eat so many things and I could! Most bakeries I've been to charge over $3 for their baked goods and I usually just get one thing to share with my boyfriend, but here we were able to get four different things for just $6! We got a pretzel ($1.35), a long pretzel bun ($0.80), an apple fritter ($1.50) and a blueberry square ($2.25). I was very very excited, everything looked so good and the best part was that everything we got was perfect!!! I really like the blueberry square, I didn't feel like sharing it with my boyfriend...but as a good girlfriend I did :). My boyfriend's favorite item was the apple fritter, it was not too sweet and had a good amount of apple and cinnamon in each bite. After we finished eating, we wanted to get a few more things for breakfast the next day so we picked up another apple fritter, pretzel, pretzel bun and a cherry danish. Unfortunately and fortunately, we ate it all on the same day. From now on, I am definitely going to be a regular.

They poured our coffees into mugs and then we went over to another counter to fix them up with cream and sugar. Most of the tables were taken so we all sat at the window counter. The bakery has lots of freshly made baked goods from breads to cookies to pies and cakes. There are also savory dishes too. It can be a bit pricey but this place is located in a very touristy area. The seasonal baked goods looked so good and fresh. The apple fritter we got was big and very dense with a few apples in it. They were all out of the rhubarb squares we live so much. When you look into the back you can see all the girls working in their bonnets and cotton dresses. Very cute. Parking is an issue on busy days.
