Chocolate was divine. Had a truffle and took home some bars - the lavender, masala chai, gingerbread, and columbia all were wins. The chocolate is smooth and fine and very distinct with the flavours. Also tried the mayan hot chocolate, classic hot chocolate and cappuccino. Definite standout was the mayan hot chocolate with a great blend of muted sweetness and lively spice. Finally, got the chocolate cookie which was pretty tasty and nicely chewy. Space is a split between a chocolate factory and happy hippy seating area. Prices are what prices are these days. Vibe is welcoming and casual. Definitely a place to go back to again and again! read more

I'd been to Soul Chocolate's tiny Gerrard location, so when I heard they had a new space just off Greenwood, I was excited to check it out. It's a much, much bigger space. There's seating and everything! And you can see chocolate being made in the back, so that's cool. I'd heard plenty of good things about their chocolate torte, so I got that and their chocolate chip cookie to try. Both are absolutely incredible. The torte is just so delectable and addictive, as it's been infused with this intense chocolate flavor that I found irresistible. Ditto the cookie. And neither concoction is too sweet, which I appreciated. Just a deep, rich chocolate taste. So good. I'll definitely be returning and if I lived in the area, I'd be there all the time. read more

Such a cozy spot & lucky enough to come while they were roasting! *what an aromatic smell!*. I pre-ordered a few chocolate bars and it was promptly ready for pickup. It was one of the few places in the area I could find that had a good selection of dark chocolates (70% or more). Can't wait to come back to grab a coffee with the dark chocolate read more

Soul Chocolate - Cappuccino and chocolate torte. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Was working in the area and stopped by for coffee. My cappuccino ... it was a latte. Milk all the way to the top. I appreciate your latte art but I really want espresso and not a lot of milk. The place smells great since it oozes dark chocolate once you open the door. I did try their sea salt chocolate cookie. Great dark chocolate of course! Just not the right balance. Too much salt on top, great chocolate but not enough butter / dough mix? It could be so much better. I wish Erick Kayser opened a bakery here in Toronto ... What's with this city lately? The baristas are so inconsistent with flat white and cappuccino lately. You guys are forcing me to order a cortado or just return the latte that I never ordered! read more

Soul Chocolate - My cappuccino with way too much milk!!! Look it's to the rim!!! Yes appreciate your latte art craftiness - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Its been awhile since I last had hot chocolate and I decided to make a pit stop at Soul Chocolate on my way to grab some groceries around this area. The impromptu step into Soul Chocolate was not disappointing at all. I ordered the Mayan hot chocolate and the spicyness along with the density of the hot chocolate was delicious. Also, the flourless chocolate brownie was calling out to me, which made me a glutton before dinnertime. However, I did not regret dessert before dinnertime tonight. The flourless chocolate brownie had texture, not your usual dense hard brownie, it crumbles slightly easier. But what I liked was the slight coconut texture and airy that is in this brownie. Sorry, but you've just got to eat it to try and understand what I'm describing since it's so damn amazing. This place has now dethroned Soma Chocolate in Distillery from my list of best hot choclates in town. read more

Best mocha I've ever had!!! They use 60% house-made chocolate, just heavenly! Peanut butter cups were decadent. Chocolate bar was tasty too. Definitely pricier but you are paying for quality. My only wish was that the owner would be more personable. read more

Stumbled upon this store after brunch in the neighborhood. The worker was friendly and informative on their menu. We walked out with a cortado and an americano. Both drinks were great and we were able to sample their delicious chocolates. read more

I love discovering places where the owners or people working there are smiling because they absolutely love what they're creating and sharing with you. I feel the people working at Soul Chocolate fit perfectly into that description and it really shows. Soul Chocolate is a very small counter space in Chinatown East. Yup... it's in Chinatown. Not your first thought where a high end bean to bar chocolatier would normally set their roots. I took notice of Soul Chocolate because I've heard magical things about their mocha. They don't take chocolate from another brand... they work with farmers directly and from scratch, roast their cacao beans to create their own single origin chocolate bars. They also incorporate these into their daily baked pastries, hot chocolate, and mocha! When you walk in, the smell of dark chocolate will hit you and just envelope you. This is a mostly a take out spot ... there is a bench along the window to sit for a bit but really, you can't be there comfortably for more than a few moments. The spot is cute as it not only showcases their chocolate bars but also coffee beans roasted across Canada. Their drink menu has everything you'd want from a good coffee place... cappuccino, flat whites, and espressos in addition to the hot chocolate, loose teas, and mochas. I LOVE how they made their own alternative milk because wanted the richness and flavour that they didnt find it conventionally bought brands. So if you're not wanting cow's milk, they have a delicious cashew coconut milk. One thing I wish they had on offer that day but they didnt have the chocolate squares available... they have chocolate flights! So you could taste the different cacao beans and how the terroir affects the flavours. That would have been perfect with the mocha I had. Flat White - The alternative milk of cashew coconut really makes this flat white unique as the creaminess of the cashew and natural sweetness of the coconut just kicks this into a different flavour territory. There is much care where they do the espresso pull and heat the milk to make the final cup. I did find the flat white to be bold but very drinkable. No bitterness or acidity which I like. 4/5 Mocha - With seeing how the molten chocolate flowed into my cup, I realized this would not be any normal Mocha. I saw how rich and thick that chocolate was and I knew that I would be enjoying it. I loved how the coconut really complimented the chocolate. It added a natural light sweetness to it. I wouldnt say the mocha was overly sweet... just enough to highlight the coffee and chocolate respectively. It's been a while since I've had Soma's mocha but this one would rank up there as one of the best in the city. 4.5/5 Chocolate croissant - I loved how excited the staff was when I bit into it and tasted the bitter dark chocolate just give way to the buttery layers. She was genuinely happy to see me realize how rich in flavour it was and appreciate her mornings work. She did mention that she just baked those up a few hours ago and love to see people's reaction. This is not your tame super soft and overly sweet croissant. Though it may not have all the crisp layers that a true French croissant would have ... French croissants do not have this absolutely delicious giant filling of great chocolate like this normally. 4.5/5 I did hear them say they will be introducing ICE CREAM next week and honestly, I cannot imagine how good it would be. They said it would be a chocolate and a cookie dough one. They've been testing recipes for a while and they think they got it. I will be coming back for that and their chocolate flight to try! read more

It's nice to have new shops like this in the east end. The owner is really friendly and the chocolate is made on site. I ordered a chocolate shot, a $3 small serving of liquid chocolate. It was really nice. They also have coffee of various types, hot chocolate, and of course, chocolate There's not much seating inside other than a long bench so you may have to take it to go. All in all, nice place. read more

I stumbled upon this small chocolate shop while walking along Gerrard Street East in Toronto on an early Saturday evening. According to my friend, this shop is usually closed early but they have extended it perhaps during the holiday season. You basically see everything once you enter the shop. It is super small and there is a small side table for 2-3 people to sit and sip their drinks, but it is more intended for a sip and go rather than a place for you to chat and do some work. They made cookies and other cacao drinks in the house as there is an open kitchen at the back. When I got there, I was greeted by a lady barista. She was very nice and introduced the drinks that they had that day. She told me that the the shop mostly sells dark chocolate and only has 1-2 milk chocolate bars. So this is good if you are into dark chocolate! I got the chocolate shot (~$3) which is their featured chocolate of the day (Dominican 70% cacao). It was very good and there was a fruity after taste. The quality of the chocolate was okay. I want to try their other chocolate drinks and cookies next time! There is a shelf where you can buy a whole bunch of chocolate related products: drinking chocolate, various chocolate bars and reusable cups. They also have french presses if you are looking to buy one. Overall, a great chocolate shop if you are in the area, but I think other competing places might be better. read more

What a fantastic little haven tucked into old/east Chinatown! Was only recently introduced to this by some coworkers. Top notch products were had: hot chocolate (perfect - as we escaped from the bitter cold outside!), chocolate shot (my friend always gets this) and delicious chocolate bars. It's quality rivals Soma's! Will be back to try more. read more

Omg. I love this store. I sort of want to come back and get all the hot chocolates. I didn't get any because it was boiling hot today so I opted for the $5.50 chocolate soft serve which was the PERFECT size and amount of dark chocolate mixed into the cream -- it tasted like a deep, velvety chocolate ice cream that is like a milk chocolate but not as sweet or as cloying, yet with a good deep hint of dark chocolate. Well made, satisfying and perfect for a humid summer day. read more

What is going on? A chocolate factory In East Chinatown? Hey Soul Chocolate! What are you doing out here? And what brings me in?

A five star rating because their chocolate chip cookies are hands down the best I have ever had. Soul Chocolate uses their own chocolate for their cookie and the taste is so unique. The dough itself has a deeper, richer flavour, almost like if there was a touch of molasses. The cookies are always super fresh with a nice chew to them. Staff is always friendly when I go in and their chocolate bars are kind of like a nice size for a little cute gift. I heard their hot chocolate is amazing too but haven't tried. read more

The aroma is so amazing as soon as you walk into the store. It smells so sweet, rich and fragrant! Husband enjoyed the coffee and my daughter absolutely loved the chocolate cookie. I'm not a sweets person but did try their chocolate cookie and it was heaven, what really elevated the taste was the salt on the cookie as I found this really enhanced and brought the cookie to the next level. Hope to come back next time and try the drinks. read more

Soul Chocolate - Amazing tasting cookie! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

First of all, I wanna start saying this place looks like a real artisanal chocolatery, and the smell and the atmosphere are great. I came here because I needed a good hot chocolate, but I didn't find it. I was aspecting a hot chocolate with a great taste but it was the opposite. It was really difficult for me drinking it and me and my girlfriend found it unsatisfactory. The good thing was the whipped cream, homemade and with a curious taste. This was my opinion and the taste of chocolate can be very various, come here if you are curious to try it read more

Great coffee and perfectly made chocolate all produced on the premises. Not a large place but one the two owners put their souls into. The espresso was perfect and reminded me of Italy. No bitter aftertaste that you find too often at most other places. While you're drinking your coffee you can watch the barista's partner make her chocolate. The bars I tried was a single source Venezuelan chocolate that tasted sublime. read more

Only ate a cookie, but was oh so good. Decor was inspiring, actually caught my eye. Good job! I will be back.

I popped in today and got a tea and the 70% Madagascar chocolate. Was really good, will be back to try more!

Their storefront was inciting, but I was disappointed with the hot chocolate I ordered. The quality of the chocolate wasn't that great and I found that there was too much milk (?). I paid more for whipped cream and was not pleased to see that it was generic from a can and not made in-house. I'm not sure I'd return. read more

Love this little spot. The staff Sam is super friendly. The chocolate shot is amazing. Has a bit yeasty in front but with honey finish. Absolutely worth trying. It's my sweet treat whenever I come to the east end. Thumbs up! read more

$3.50 for a chocolate chip cookie that sucked ... wish I went to Andreas Bakery instead ... they never fail me

Sooo good! The cookies are probably the best cookie in the city. I'm always very happy with them. The chocolate is also good of course.
