I'm thoroughly impressed by Mr. Haas' background in the chocolatier profession, and it truly shows in his creations. I loved everything I tried when I visited both of their locations, one in Kitsilano and the other in West Vancouver. I also enjoyed their matcha latte, which I prefer to drink unsweetened. I'm already looking forward to visiting again when I return to Vancouver. This was one of my favorite experiences while visiting this lovely city. Even more amazing, if you're on a ketogenic lifestyle like me, their sugar-free chocolates are some of the best you'll ever have. No yucky aspartame. They taste amazing.

This was my late mother-in-law's favorite patisserie, and we used to visit every weekend, so it…read moreholds a special place for us. Space/location The space is on the smaller side, so it's not ideal for large groups, but it's cozy and inviting, with a few counter seats inside and some patio seating outside. Food and Drinks: The food and service are consistently good, and compared to many other cafés and patisseries, it offers excellent value for money. The hot chocolate and coffee are standout. The lady behind the machine clearly knows what they're doing, because every cup is spot on. The sandwiches can be a bit hit or miss, but our recent visits have been great. The smoked salmon croissant is served cold (they always check if that's okay), and even so, it's one of my favorites. The portobello sandwich, served warm, is also rich and full of flavor. And the cakes and pastries? Dangerous in the best way possible. The kind that keeps you coming back to North Van "just one more time." :)

As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, I could tell the latte was brewed using high-quality coffee beans, and my matcha latte had premium matcha powder. The dessert display was a treat for the senses. The decor was on point and elegant. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. They even offered a water bowl for my pup, and the patio was heated. I am planning to come back and enjoy my drinks again tomorrow.

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!

It's owner/operated, and in this world of "craft" this, and "artisan" that.. this place doesn't need to say that, because they just are. They are the original craft artisans, using old techniques to make the most delicious things you can put in your mouth and chew on... Prices? not high.. consider the cost of things in general, and most of the items there are a "steal". I recommend the brittles.. because they are made there, and perfect. The jellies, also house made, are better than basically anything I have purchased in ages, and honestly, let's be real... they taste fresh made, because THEY ARE. Hands down, quiet class... you want good candy, NOT made in some factory... this is the place. When you are done buying their entire shelf of stuff, then go down the street and find some artisan coffee... to wash it all down.

My favourite flavours are the chocolate and whiskey hazelnut. I love how for a single scoop cone, they actually pack the cone with ice cream so you aren't left with a hole after finishing the scoop or you don't have to ration your ice cream to enjoy it with the waffle cone. The waffle cone was also very tasty and resistant to sogginess! There was a line up but it moved fast. Interior is very cute and all the flavours are clearly defined.
