I'm thoroughly impressed by Mr. Haas' background in the chocolatier profession, and it truly shows in his creations.

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.

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." :)

For me, this is a good place to shop for indulgent chocolate gifts to show your thoughtfulness and care for someone special. I am on the fence about recommending this place to chocolate lovers because chocolate preferences are highly individualistic. You need to sample and try to see if their chocolate is to your liking. I have tried their various truffle flavors and they are very good quality chocolate yet I haven't come across a favorite flavor that I would crave for. So I mostly shop for their chocolates as gifts because I do appreciate their commitment to quality organic ingredients. Their chocolates are priced higher than most and present as nice thoughtful gifts that show extra appreciation. This shop also serves gelato, which is especially popular in the summer times. Also, some may not come to shop for chocolates and actually visit for their hot chocolate drinks which is quite rich and delish.

No windows, no window display, place is very un-welcoming if you don't know it - I assume the front door opens in the summer though. No free samples. We tried the Mango chocolate and absolutely loved it and went back the next day and got 2 variety boxes to try. Salted caramel was very strong, coconut very weak, mango 10/10, mint too weak, sake - tastes like those alcoholic chocolates, tiramisu and coffee one were 10/10, strawberry good, lemon basil could have been more lemon less basil. Overall the texture was 12/10 the best. Boyfriend is very excited to order these online from their website for tasty Christmas presents.

One of the shop owners greeted us and gave us some recommendations and we decided to try those as well as some other flavors we were eyeing. Every flavor they offer is rich but not heavy at all, with just the right amount of sweetness in each chocolate truffle bite. I didn't find any of the truffles overpowering at all, very balanced and in just the right amounts to satisfy your chocolate cravings. The sake hot chocolate reminded me of a chocolate-y amazake they serve in Japan, it was really good, I haven't been to a place that serves a hot chocolate like this, so hoping they'll have this next year as well.
