Purdys Chocolatier

A locals’ favorite (from what I hear) and my go-​to place for souvenirs for office and friends back home. The hand-​dipped ice cream bar is a bit pricey, but is worth every Canadian penny. Parking is on the street (along Kingsway) or on one of the side streets. Don’t forget the hedgehogs; the dark-​chocolate version is only available around the Christmas holidays…

Paid $ 5 for flavorless melting strawberry ice cream cone. No joke when I say it was flavorless it had NO taste whatsoever. the worst part was it was melting faster than I could lick. five minutes in, it was already dripping down my hand. McDonald’s ice cream taste better than this crap and for less! Not a fan of their chocolates either.

The staff were very friend and attentive.

great location, probably the best one inside the mall; the atrium where the elevator/​stairs to underground parking, plus the intersection of Samsung, Coach, & that wanna-​be Swarvoski lol. Superstore closeby too.
Before my latest binge on Dairy Queen, I used to order their dipped ice cream bar in chocolate and nuts, nothing beats shopping while munching on this, burning off the calories.

Like everyone else posted, I come here for the hand dipped vanilla bar chocolate ice cream covered in crushed almonds… enough said.
As for their selection of other goodies I am disappointed compared to the other locations. You would think that being Metrotown that they would have a bigger store.

I love it here! I always stop by Purdy’s whenever I am in Canada. They have a huge selection of chocolate treats and other candies. Good for little gifts =). Nothing beats the chocolate dipped ice cream bars though… these are hand dipped! They are soooo good! You can choose your poison, I opt for dark chocolate with roasted almonds… its like heaven!

I go here for one thing and one thing only.
Heavenly vanilla ice cream bars dipped in velvety dark chocolate coated in roasted almonds. It’s become my post-​workout treat.
$ 2.80 for a pre-​dipped bar and a ice cream stamp for a free ice cream after 10 purchases. After a hard workout, it’s the best feeling in the world. =]

I love dipped ice cream bars, and Purdy’s makes a darn good one! We were starving before dinner and needed a quick recharge, and I couldn’t help but suggest to my husband that we get an ice cream bar! It starts out as a plain vanilla ice cream bar on a Popsicle stick, and then it is dipped in white chocolate, milk chocolate, and covered in chopped roasted almonds. To die for! My only suggestions are for better quality ice cream and for the sales girl not to wear long fake nails while dipping the ice cream bars.

Who doesn’t love chocolate?
I grew up thinking that Purdy’s was really only for Christmas because that’s when we would sometimes get those pretty packages all wrapped up with the gold Purdy’s sticker attached to it. It definitely wasn’t something available to us on an everyday basis.
But that was then. and this is now. Today, if I crave a piece of specialty chocolate. I don’t have to wait until Christmas. I just march myself down to the shops. wander around and view the chocolates through the glass case and then hand them my credit card.
Some of my favourites are the nut covered chocolates, the mint patties, and caramels… especially the himalayan pink salt ones. It’s a good thing I can just buy one because if I had to buy it in a box. it would also mean that I would have to eat it all. myself. :)
They have a nice assortment of boxed chocolates perfect for gift giving as well as individually wrapped bars for a personal sweet treat.
Cant forget the dipped ice cream bars! Rich vanilla ice cream that can be dipped in either white, milk or dark chocolate and then covered in nuts. It’s decadent and I can never finish one on my own.
Tip: If you’re just looking for something for yourself and don’t care if the chocolates are imperfect, they often have bags of seconds that are sold at a discount. Yummy!
