That Chocolate Shoppe in the Village in located at The Courtyard in historic Pickering…read more It is a cute little shop that has a lot of on site made chocolate related goodies all packaged nicely and ready to be gifted as gifts! The chocolate enrobed ginger and coffee beans does look interesting. You can also pre order Made to order cakes, cupcakes and other baked goods. Oh and some chocolate products that might be fun to play with or share with your special someone in private are also on sale too.... just imagine the possibilities! :)

Chocolate Margaret uses Merkin Chocolate Wafer candy over real chocolate. If you place an order…read morewith her she will change it without notice, you will pay for her time and then she will come and go. She will help herself to treats brought in to your private party. She will literally count out pretzel sticks to make sure no one gets an extra one, from the no name brand bag. She is intrusive to your personal life which will go beyond the business you do with her. I question hygiene because we made chocolate products at our party and she would not allow us to use it as she said she planned on giving it away ...even though we paid for it...and a dozen ppl touched it. Do not do a chocolate party with her.

OMG I couldnt contain my excitement when I stepped in this shop…read more They had a nearly endless variety of snacks from chocolate to chips to sodas and teas and more. Most of all, the price was reasonable. If you've been to Japan you'll feel like you're back in heaven. BEWARE. If you dont eat pork or meat, beware many salty snacks have PORK, BEEF and other meat n fish extracts etc. Pro tip: pull up your google translate to read the Japanese language ingredients. I can't say more. Just go. Just go....

So glad I found this place! The inventory at the usual store where I get Asian snacks has been…read moregetting worse and worse so I decided to look for a new one and found this one. The selection at Sweetie Bear is amazing! They have the typical popular brands, like Calbee, but some other snacks that I can't find at my local grocery store. Most importantly, they have a decent selection of Boss drinks. I ended up ordering quite a big haul and was surprised it was delivered so soon! What impressed me the most was the good communication to ensure the package got delivered. Very much appreciated: One of my favourites so far are the Marukin Hokkiado Milky Cakes (the pastries in the blue bag at the bottom left corner). Perfectly buttery and sweet. They also stock some rarer Pocky flavours I've been looking for, like mint chocolate. I will definitely be ordering from them again!

I come here for one thing and one thing alone: super kid ice cream. It's one of the most unique…read moreflavours of ice cream out there and it is a Laura Secord exclusive. I grew up eating this and I'm glad to report that they haven't changed the recipe whatsoever - it's still the banana, blueberry, and strawberry concoction. I recommend that you get it in a sugar cone. All the scoops you order come with a chocolate on top. There other specialty is of course, chocolate. There are a lot of beautifully wrapped gift baskets and boxes that would make great gifts for the holidays. There are also chocolates that can be purchased individually.

Talk about a unique experience! Growing up I LOVED marshmallow fluff. We had it in sandwiches with…read morepeanut butter or Nutella. So, hearing about this newly opened food truck I was ecstatic to try their homemade gourmet marshmallow items. My friend and I tried the Cloud Croissant With Maple Cinnamon Marshmallow, S'mores with Sweet Tart Strawberry Marshmallow and the Hot Chocolate with Vanilla Fluff I love that you can mix and match the marshmallow flavors. The strawberry worked so well in the s'mores. It was delicious! The hot chocolate was creamy. Topped with toasted marshmallow fluff, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle; It warmed us both! Each Week the Specialty Flavor Changes and you can have some variety! They are also halal which opens doors for anyone who's never had a gourmet marshmallow /marshmallow before. Definitely worth a visit if you're wanting something delicious in the snowy weather. Or you're just wanting to try something new.

Oprah approved Chocolatier in Whitby? Reading the local newspaper article, I was in disbelief but…read moredecided I have to check this place out! Now is the time to think about Valentines Day gift, right? It was a very small business in the uptown Whitby where new businesses are coming and gone for the recent years. The owner told me that they've been in business about 2 years. How did I not notice? Anyways, their product line-up was not as extensive as I wished (bonbons, chocolate bars and a few kinds of hot cocoa). But the bonbons are beautifully arranged in the glass display case. So, to start - I got 6 bonbons. - STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE - CREME BRÛLÉE - COOKIES & CREAM - SMORES - SALTED CARAMEL - 70% DARK I liked them they apparently use good quality of chocolate. I wished they had more dark chocolate items. Outside layer was thin yet had intense/nice chocolate aroma. Inside of Crème Brulee, Salted caramel, and 70% dark were a bit monotone with all oozy texture, no other sensations. Others had a bit of textures added, with a layer of cookie. Each has its unique flavor. Enjoyable. $2.50 each. Super affordable. Yes, they are certainly in my Valentines' day gifts. Online order/shipping available.

I had a wonderful Sunday Brunch at The Brock House in Whitby…read more The food selection is excellent--everything from a made‑to‑order omelette station to fresh pizza, roast beef, salads, and plenty of fruit. The dessert table was a highlight, with lots of great options, and drip coffee is included. All the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and the service throughout our visit was warm and friendly. The interior has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes it an easy place to settle in and enjoy a relaxed meal. Reservations are highly recommended, and the good news is you can book directly through their website, which makes planning ahead simple. A great spot for a delicious and comfortable weekend brunch.

We had the Bruschetta which was amazing with fresh ingredients. Very well done. I had the salt and vinegar fish and chips which was tasty and very large. Crunchy potato chip batter. Lots of fish not just batter. My friend had the prime rib beef stroganoff. She said it was better than the one her mom used to make and that was great. We will be back.

Amazing lunch for the basketball team and families. We just…read morehad a tournament and came here for lunch. The sandwiches and salads were delicious. We really enjoyed the fresh ingredients! The service was exceptional. The staff worked to get all the orders in quickly and served the meals pretty quickly. They didn't mind that we moved the tables and chairs to make room for everyone. People came to check on us to see if we had everything we needed and if orders were correct. It is rare to have staff come together like this for a large group with no notice. Thank you to the team at What a Bagel Ajax for the exceptional food and the excellent service! Thank you to the woman who checked in on us and for the delicious treats! We will be back if and when we play here again.

It's not my cup of tea but I am certain others will love so giving it a 4…read more There's lot of variety in frozen food / snacks and vegan treats for a decent price ! For example , I saw Lindor packs for $4. There's are normally at least $5-$6. Saw fancy almond milk for like $2. The only drawback is a lot of stuff is close to or already expired so you gotta be careful . I say it's not our cup of tea simply because we tend to stock up / get too excited and buy a lot so expired/ close to expiring snacks is a no go . I was lucky to find these two steals and the expiration on each were at least close to half a year ! Camino bar was as only $1 :O and hairbo was only $1.55. The store itself looks pretty haggard but still recommend everyone to give it a run to see if they find any goodies :)

I haven't had the pleasure of actually going to this cafe but I was lucky enough to come across…read moretheir booth at the Stouffville Country Ribfest. I tried their salted caramel cupcake and it was delicious. It was a great surprise to look up their Yelp business page and see the variety of things they offer. I also had a great conversation with everyone who was there, including the baker. I am not a huge fan of baked goods in general, but this place had my mouth watering for more. I can't wait to stop buy and try more of their stuff this weekend.

I 'forced' myself to have multiple visits before I reviewed it. I know, cupcakes are tough…read more I went to Cupcake Junkie twice to get cupcakes for a fam jam. I ordered a dozen fresh ones and they were fantastic. I also bought day-old cupcakes and there were also fantastic! Don't shun the day-olds! The variety isn't as good as the fresh ones, but I didn't hear one person complain as they were quickly devoured. What I enjoy the most about their cupcakes is that the cake isn't sweet, the icing and filling take care of the sweet. I'm not saying the cake is blah, I'm saying the cake not being sugary balances them so your teeth don't hurt. The 3rd visit was to pickup my Valentine's Day treats! I ordered 6 vanilla minis, 6 chocolate minis and a heart shaped Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. As a chocolate addict, I thought I would like the chocolate ones more, but the vanilla minis stole my heart. The picture of the cake is deceiving. I expected it to be just a heart shaped cookie, but it really is a cake! The best way to describe it is a fluffy cookie; it was freaking awesome. I should've got one for myself. ;) My last visit was for a light supper. I had some time to kill, so I ordered a pulled pork sandwich on a kaiser combo and took a seat. It's a very cozy venue, but not crowded. All of the tables were clean and the large windows let lots of natural light in. I had a coffee while I waited and they brought me a housemade marinara sauce and flatbread. Delightful! It was warmed up and had a little heat; I could've eaten the whole thing, but I had to leave room for my sandwich. Their coffee is fantastic; it comes from a local roaster called Trebilock.The kaiser was fresh and the pork was slow-cooked to perfection. The coleslaw on the sandwich was a nice twist. It was crisp and saucy, just how I like it. It was a great meal. I'd love to try their other sandwiches! I'm not done! I got a combo, so it's cupcake time! So many choices, but their Facebook posts convinced me the try the Cupcake of the Month. Each month they have a creative cupcake featured that you must try. From all of their cupcakes I've tried, my favourites are Red Velvet, Banana Chip, Maple Bacon, Chocolate Mint and Vanilla. I haven't tried them all, but I haven't had one I didn't like! The warm weather is coming, so I know I'll be back for their Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream! A welcome addition to Whitby. It's got great food and friendly service. They will make you a cupcake junkie!
