    When I was working in Rochester, MN, I had the fortune of sharing a small office with a fellow…read moreCanadian. Each office would have a maximum of two employees. We hit it off and to this day, we remain good friends. She hailed from Calgary. She got me into Bernard Callebaut, a Belgian chocolatier who has been in Calgary for decades. She brought me a small copper box after having visited Calgary over the weekend and I was hooked. The assortment of Belgian chocolate that she got me was yummy, creamy, and special. While living in the States, I still went to see my dentist twice a year in Winnipeg, in the River Heights area of the city. I used to live in this part of town before I moved to Osborne Villiage. The deadly part about seeing my dentist was dropping by this Bernard Callebaut next door afterwards. So much for keeping my teeth clean. Thirty minutes later, I was devouring chocolates! This store is bright and inviting. Various chocolates are nicely displayed behind glass. You can either choose specific ones (the dark chocolate orange and coconut ones are my favourite, but there isn't really a bad chocolate at this place), or make things easier by picking up a copper box. Each copper box has an assortment of white, dark, and milk chocolates that seem delicate, but pack a ton of flavour when you have them. These copper boxes come in various sizes to suit your budget and sweet tooth. They are also great for gift-giving. You can also get chocolate in the shape of letters. They always looked cool to me. Staff here were always pleased to see me, mainly because I was a regular customer back then and ended up getting a few boxes to take back with me back to Rochester. They were always kind, helped me with any questions that I had, and made sure that my purchases were safely packed for my plane ride. There used to be a Bernard Callebaut in Etobicoke a good decade ago. It has since closed. The last time I was at a Bernard Callebaut store was in Ottawa in 2015. It was located steps away from my hotel in ByWard Market. I ended up bringing back a stash for me and a bag of milk chocolate-covered pretzels for my colleagues. This bag was gone within half an hour of my sharing it with them. One person, a vegetarian, loved them so much that she kept the empty bag. These days, Bernard Callebaut offers ruby chocolate. Yum! I am tempted to place an order online. Currently, shipping is free across Canada when you buy $50 worth of chocolate. All stores are closed due to COVID-19. I am thrilled that this Bernard Callebaut store is still around. I have nothing but positive, fond memories of buying chocolate here, having some, and sharing some with folks. It is the best Belgian chocolate. Parking by this store can be a bit tricky. You either can park at the 7-Eleven lot next door or along Queenston, and then walk over. I used to walk over here when I lived in River Heights, which seems like a dream now! (153)
