We'd just finished eating a tasty brunch at the nearby Undefined and figured we should try to get…read moresomething for dessert. Chocolat on James seemed like a perfect solution, since we could get something sweet but not insanely filling. A quick perusal of their many offerings led me directly to their Tortoise, so I went with the milk chocolate version and it was fantastic. I've always been a fan of turtles (who isn't, really?) and this was absolutely one of the best versions I've ever had. The chocolate was delectable and the pecans and caramel inside was just as good. I'm almost glad that Chocolat on James is so far away from my apartment, because I could see myself eating those Tortoises on a daily basis.

From the outside, this place looks like it is perpetually closed - a small, dark little store that…read moreyou will walk past and easily miss if not paying attention. Inside, the store is covered floor to ceiling with endless varieties of chocolates and chocolate-related stuff. The chocolate is great quality, because they make everything from Callebaut chocolate. Try the bars, or the melt-in-your-mouth truffles (caramel or plain are my favs). Me being a bit of a chocolate snob, I'd say this place is the only chocolate store in Hamilton I would buy chocolate from.

This chocolate shop is amazing! It's small, but the quality is incredible. Everything tastes fresh…read moreand well-balanced. Quality chocolate has a subtle silkiness to it, and Forrat's definitely delivers on that silkiness. Every time I walk in to the store, the lovely shopkeeper is working behind the counter on a new batch of handmade chocolates. Their truffles are delicious, and their meltaways and their chocolate treats are so good! I love their hot chocolate, and their Mayan chocolate (with cinnamon and chili).

I think the majority of their business is fulfilling custom cake orders. At the time of my visit, they had a few different types of canollis that were priced around $2.50-3. So quite average in pricing. It was good. Tiramisu - $2.50 for a smallish slice. Although fresh, they used whipped cream. So that was a bit of a disappointment. Sadly, not many bakeries use the real deal anymore. I prefer the tiramisu at Sweet Paradise. Just ok for me.

We took the Classic Chocolate Making Workshop on a Sunday afternoon. The class was 90 minutes and…read moreincluded a history of chocolate, chocolate tasting, demos, and truffle making and decorating. The instructor, David, was very knowledgeable and patient. The chocolate was delicious and we were able to take home a good amount of chocolate truffles for the price! We also received 2 small lava cakes that we decorated and were baked during class. There is ample parking and the entrance is right at the parking lot. Will definitely come back to take another class!

We learned about the history of chocolate and were able to taste different samples! We also made a handful of chocolates that we took home, along with mini chocolate lava cakes! It's totally worth the price!! David was amazing! We had to reschedule our session due to workshops closing because of covid and he was very responsive and understanding! I would definitely recommend doing as a couple, with family and group of friends!! So fun

If you want to buy donuts, you need to order them ahead until the end of Wednesday of each week and you can pick your order up during the weekend or holidays.

I can't get enough of them; they're so fresh and delicious; A must-try!
