Walking along the hip Robson Street, I had to make a stop to check out this little chocolate shop! The glass case was filled with rows and rows of beautifully designed ganaches, buttercreams, pralines, truffles, caramels, and more! I got three different chocolates. The first was the Dark Chocolate Maple… because when visiting Canada for the first time, you can’t help but want to try maple everything! I was not disappointed! The maple had a nice rich flavor. I also got a Milk Chocolate Hazelnut that came as a cute snail shape. The hazelnut praline was creamy and paired perfectly with the milk chocolate. Lastly, I got the White Chocolate Lemon… clearly I like variety! A refreshing yet tart ganache encased in a sweet white chocolate. I really enjoyed all three chocolates! The lady behind the counter was very sweet. She packaged my chocolates in a cute little box tied with a ribbon. If only I had tried the chocolates before I got home, I would have bought more!

I love this little chocolate shop! The chocolates are very good quality — not the best in the city, to be sure, but they are SO reasonably priced compared to all of the other high end chocolates I’ve found(usually around a dollar apiece, depending on size). I have a very important hobby of trying to taste all the artisan chocolates in Vancouver :) and this is one place I keep returning to time and time again. Aside from chocolates, they also have some candies and a small but delicious selection of French pastries. I give the shop four stars for the chocolate, but they get a bonus star because the people who work there are always so genuinely friendly and welcoming. I guess it’s hard to be sad when you work in a chocolate shop, but still, they set the bar high for a retail service experience. Check this place out. You are guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face and chocolate in your belly. What more could you ask for?

The pastries in this place are very similar to what you would get in Paris in taste and quality! I have an undying love for chocolate macarons and these guys have the best I have tried in Vancouver — and I have tried a lot(even the ones at Thomas Haas).

This is a nice little chocolatier conveniently located on Robson at Thurlow. The woman behind the counter was very pleasant while we selected the chocolates for a gift box. I purchased a medium box along with a handful of 85 gram bars and happily walked out the door for under $ 50CDN. The verdict on taste was that their chocolate is good but not close to the Zurich and Paris shops that I have recently visited. On a plus side they are about half the cost of the great European chocolatiers. I would highly recommend Daniel Le Chocolat if you visit Vancouver. BTW their pastries are very good.

I have been going here on and off for years, mostly to window shop at some of the really cute chocolates, however, I am in it for the maple products. I am a sucker for maple flavor anything… with bacon always a plus(although they do not carry any maple bacon items). The staff are always friendly and the prices are competitive and decent. I love grabbing those individual specialty flavors of hot chocolate as stocking stuffers.

Move over Godiva, this is a great chocolate place. My only disappointment is that they don’t accept American Express.

We have been coming to this place quite a few times. They have some good chocolade, but it’s not cheap. It is worth checking out if you start to crave for chocolade while in Downtown.

We stayed at the Wedgewood they had complimentary chocolates in the room. They were so tasty we had to go to the store and bring some back for friends.
