Cube Pistachio Croissant, excellent flavours, and I love how the cream filling was able to endure some reheating in the toaster oven the next day. I believe it's stabilised with gelatine perhaps... Almond croissant, not sweet, great buttery flavour Ham and Cheese Croissant, this was lovely, loved the topping and the smell of the baked cheese on top, however... I would love to suggest maybe a mix of an edam/gouda mix with a saltier parma... rather mild in flavour in the interior. extra points no soggy interior. If I lived only closer, this bakery is on the weekly rotation.

The chili and dark chocolate coating paired so well. Chocolate ice cream was also very rich and bold. Very delicious item, Highly recommend! Triple chocolate clay pot rice chocolate bar- with roasted rice, caramelized puffed rice, sweet soy and toasted sesame. I really liked puffed rice and roasted rice inside, and there was small amount of sweet soy drizzled over it. It provided sweet and savory flavor. I love the creation! I also got 2 other chocolate bars at their shop. Italian coffee and Savoiardi cookies chocolate bar -Bold Italian Coffee, savoiardi cookie crunch, smooth sweet, creamy milk chocolate Savoiardi cookie is generally known as lady fingers. Dark chocolate was very bold and paired with sweet savoiardi cookie crunch so well. I could taste subtle coffee flavor. Szechuan peppercorn chocolate bar - limited item. Szechuan peppercorn chocolate was one of the most unique item I ever had. Szechuan peppercorn had citrus flavor. It was different from chili, it was more fragrant, refreshing spice. Very unique. And it paired well with milky chocolate. Very interesting and memorable chocolate. Overall, I always enjoy Hype chocolate creation. Can't wait to try their new item! Highly recommend their chocolate bar or ice cream!

On my first visit, I ordered a plain croissant and an almond croissant. Both were perfect in terms of crispy flakiness on the outside and buttery softness on the inside. On another visit, I was shopping for some desserts to take to a friend's place for dinner. The selection here is quite good and they're all so beautiful in presentation. I didn't get to try them but my friend did say they were all very good, especially the cassis one. I'll have to try another time.

Their only saving grace is that they are in an industrial area that is difficult to get to, but there is a bus depot nearby. It's located south of the Ironwood Mall.

They also offer a chocolate appreciation course for $35, hosted in their backroom. I just might try this out. See my pics. It's become a bit of a regular stop for me.

The chocolate making class was so fun! You're able to share with a partner to save costs, and in my opinion it was better to share so we could share the labour! At the start of the class, owner of Cocoaro and chocolatier Margaret takes you through the history and origins of chocolate. After sorting some cacao beans for roasting, she then guides you through tasting various different two-ingredient 70% cacao chocolates. It was very interesting to taste how different chocolate tastes when the beans simply come from different countries. After our beans finished roasting, we got to work. My partner and I took turns grinding our 20 cacao beans into a paste with a mortar and pestle. It took a lot of elbow grease and time to start getting our beans shiny! Once the natural butters were coming out, we added some cane sugar. The end product is a very gritty chocolate, but it is so delicious. I really liked the texture of it actually. Only two ingredients! After the class, everyone got 10% all of the chocolates in store.

They source the cacao directly from Nicaragua farmers and pay them a premium above world market prices. Each single origin cacao is grown wildly on the farms without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. All their chocolates are 47% cacao or 70% cacao. Their chocolates are selling 20% lower than the retail prices. Thanks for having me @yelpvancouver I brought the cute edible piggies home . The Holiday House is a great Christmas gift for kids and adults for the holiday. I love the green front door can be open and closed and you can see the piggy chocolates through the window. So cute! It contains about 30 pieces of four different flavors (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, milk peanut butter, milk hazelnut). I love the truffle chocolates are soft enough and are melted in my mouth. If you don't like very sweet chocolate, truffle chocolate with 47% or 70% cacao would be the best choices. All chocolates are delicious. Taste: 5/5 I also bought their best selling assorted marshmallow. Wow.. Love the softness and sweetness of these marshmallows. I had the coconut, gingerbread, raspberry and vanilla. I personally like the following flavours: coconut , raspberry , vanilla , gingerbread. They also have the chocolate-coated marshmallows.
