Sweet Mona’s

Was a cute spot and gelato looked awesome! Got some chocolate covered orange rinds and they were delish. The sales gal was a great help too.

Kinda cute place. But if you’re gonna charge $ 7 for a milkshake it should be thicker than chocolate milk… a LOT thicker.

Got a wonderful gift of chocolate mendiants with candied flowers and maple meltaways. Had only an afternoon in Langley, but the store was an awesome and lovely local place to pick up something delicious and sweet.

Sweet Mona’s was definitely gearing up for the Easter season with all the bunnies in the window display. But you are there for the chocolates, the tantalizing smell of decadent chocolate hits you once you enter. Very pleasant counter person greeted us and let me and the kiddo carefully peruse the chocolate case. There was quite a wide variety to select from, very compelling, that I barely gave a glance to the gelato selections nearby.
We selected two each of the milk chocolate peanut butter cups, dark chocolate peanut butter mice, and dark chocolate bunnies were a little over $ 13. I liked that the chocolate exterior was nice and glossy (perfectly tempered) and the ganaches were rich, good quality, and not cloying.
All the chocolates made the ferry ride back home in the ice chest and were as tasty as they looked! If you really enjoy handmade, quality chocolates, Sweet Mona’s is worth the stop while visiting Langley.

The shop itself is cute and the woman who greeted us when we walked in was lovely. I ordered seafoam which is usually this deliciously airy sugar covered in chocolate. Unfortunately one of the pieces that I received was gooey on the inside. The chocolate covered candied orange peels have decent flavor, but all in all I don’t think it was worth the money paid. It is quite expensive at $ 28 a pound for the items and 2.25 for each small truffle.

Was really excited to find somewhere that makes gourmet chocolates during our visit to Langley. The shop is spacious, clean and cute. Wide variety to choose from. I asked how much different things cost and you would’ve thought I asked how to get to Mars– the girl behind the counter looked at me like I was crazy. $ 2.50−3 per TINY truffle. WOW. OK, maybe they’re awesome. She then asked if I’d like 6, 12, 24, etc. I said 6 and proceeded to tell her which ones to fill my box. Got the cash register and she proceeded to overcharge me twice (both times I corrected her), getting moodier and moodier by the minute. I notice she rings up an extra $ 1 and she tells me that’s for the box. WHAT?! I didn’t even ask for a box! I just asked for 6 truffles and she pulled out a box! By this point, she snipped, ‘If you want me to unload this box and put them in something else, fine.’ I politely told her that I would just keep the box, but that really she should tell people in advance that they cost extra. In my situation, I was just buying a couple for my toddler to eat on the ride home and to take a few to my husband– def. didn’t need a box! So, $ 15 later, I left with 6 TINY truffles. 2 were excellent, 3 were good and 1 was not so good. Bummer. Overpriced and rude service means we definitely won’t be back.
