The Chocolateria

Finally had to stop into this place to treat myself on a Friday! It smells so heavenly inside and there’s an abundance of chocolates to choose from!
As much as I wanted to try every chocolate they had in their store, I settled on some ice cream. The ‘kitchen sink’ flavour is delicious! So creamy with chunks of brownie, toffee, and chocolate.
The only thing I must mention is that for a chocolate shop, you’d think the people working there would be a little friendlier! I found them to be quite cold.
Anyway, I still think they have a great selection and will be back for some more ice cream again!

Super products– some of the best ice cream ever! I do not waste calories on ice cream very often but the salted caramel is to die for. The chocolate products are very good quality and I get gifts here often. The prices are really reasonable for the quality. Why not 5 stars? The owner is super grumpy. He complains out loud about the fact that he should offer only one ice cream selection, ‘when it is busy’ and there are only 6 of us! He is a real jerk. I wish that his chocolate and ice cream wasn’t so tasty. He should learn to chill and be kinder to his loyal clientele. If he was friendly and embraced the neighbourhood vibe, I’d give this place a six star!

This is a cute little chocolate shop in Roncesvalles village. I was first introduced to this place by a colleague who bought me a bag of their dark chocolate and wildflower honey covered hazelnuts. Let’s just say it takes a lot of willpower when I have a bag of those delicious and addictive hazelnuts nearby to not devour the whole bag in one sitting.
While taking an out of town guest around downtown on a chocolate tour, we stopped in here. The place smelled great and as other Unilocalers have mentioned, they sell an abundant array of chocolate covered foods, including truffles, nuts, brittles, sponge toffee, candied orange peels, licorice, potato chips, biscotti, and pretzels. I like that they are organic and fair trade. Although I didn’t try it, they also sell hot beverages like coffee and hot chocolate, and their homemade ice creams looked amazing as well.
My favourite product of theirs is still the dark chocolate covered hazelnuts with wildflower honey. The caramelized sugar from the honey adds a bit of sweetness and complexity while the dark chocolate balances it and keeps it from being too sweet. Definitely plan to return again when in the area to try their ice cream and stock up on several bags of chocolate covered hazelnuts.

This is my favourite place to buy chocolate. It’s of good quality, made in-​house, and well priced. They have lots of fun and unique options. My favourites are the dark and spicy bar, the mint wafers, and dark chocolate covered pretzels, but I’ve never tried anything there that I didn’t enjoy!
They often have samples, which is a great way to test something new without having to go all in, and staff is great at offering-​up suggestions.
I live in the East end, but I think it’s worth the trip, and it’s also a great place to grab a treat before strolling through High Park.

They have good flavours of ice cream like salted caramel, maple pecan and toasted caramel as well as an assortment of chocolates, but I give this place a one star because at the bottom of my ice cream was one dark short hair, I can only surmise where it came from and I was not a happy camper having eaten ice cream contaminated by this hair. Furthermore, the store closed one hour early, it was supposed to close at 7 but it closed at 8. Saw lots of disgruntled potential customers while eating my contaminated ice cream. I really wanted to like this place but I can’t, I can’t even, when I think back to the contaminated ice cream.

Amazing! What a surprise to discover this place. I had heard that Eds was the best ice cream in Toronto but I beg to differ. This place rocked my world. Nice simplicity meshed with deliciousness! I had the blueberry and kitchen sink flavours. I wish it were closer to my hotel so I could have more before I leave town tomorrow!

I’m picky when it comes to chocolate, but I’m crazy about this place. I’m not in the neighbourhood often, but I try to make a point to stock up at least once or twice a year.
Their dark chocolate is perfect – I would say it’s better than Godiva’s dark chocolate. My favourites include the sea salt and hazelnut bars. They also have interesting combinations like chips dipped in chocolate, candied orange or ginger dipped in chocolate, etc.
They also make their own ice cream and drinks. Their hot chocolate is divine.

Delicious but expensive. Try the house-​made ice cream.

I am picky about my chocolate and love going in here for consistent amazing products. The biscotti as singles or as a package of four are always a hit. Also, their dark chocolate almond bark has lifted me out of many mood funks in a glorious way.
I also want to shout out about their ice cream. It is simply fantastic. Amazing flavours and fair prices.

Chocolate shops are one part chocolate, one part experience. The chocolate here is great. They have a variety of truffles ($ 1.40 each), chocolate bars (most in the 5.75−5.95 range), and ice cream (2 scoops for under $ 5). The burnt caramel ice cream is delicious. The chocolate ice cream is also quite good, but not the best I have had.
This place has beautiful boxes for gift purchases and a layout that makes it easy to see the merchandise. There is enough variety to satisfy any and every chocolate craving.
The slight negative is service. In a chocolate shop (most people who walk in the door already have an addiction to the stuff!), it should be easy to sell or at least pitch additional items with a sample or a simple, enthusiastic, «Have you tried our delicious _​_​_​_​_​?» None of that here.
That being said, the chocolate is delicious.

Just where do I begin? There is chocolate dipped EVERYTHING you can imagine here. Shelves and shelves of chocolate dip goods; both milk and dark. Oreos, toffee, potato chips, pretzels, pecan butter crunch, sea salt butter crunch, dried mangos, peanut butter, bacon, licorice, marshmallows… I don’t think I need say more. Its a cuye cozy place and… they have delectable icecream. I had their burnt caramel ice cream and it was unreal. UNREAL ya hear!
It is clean, the workers are friendly and there is street parking. The area is cute for a casual stroll as well.
So in summary, cute area, cute shop, clean, nice people, delicious ice cream, large chocolate dipped things variety… whats not to love. right?

IRRESISTIBLE!!! Must try the «everything cookie» …o m g.
(a little on the pricey side, but its excellent chocolate — who cares?!)

The chocolate is amazing, the homemade turtles are to die for, and so are the chocolate covered mesquite almonds.
One problem. The owner is not friendly and has no sense of humour. I want to love my local chocolate shop… but instead I feel like I have put him out by showing up, no banter, no smiles, just business. Many visits, always the same…
Disappointing. Chocolate should be fun right?

VIBE
it’s a chocolate shop so… chocolatey. They do they have some seats inside.
I ATE
Their version of the turtle only has caramel and pecans bit sea salt. Perfection!
The chocolate dipped potato chips are a bit expensive at $ 10 for a bag but man, do you get a lot of that choco goodness on your chips. Hello, salt and sweet! (maybe not the best thing to have while trying to lose pounds! I digress.)
I will have to return for ice cream!
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
Well deserving of their title.

One of my favourite Rocesvalles stores.
There is a nice variety of flavours and textures in their chocolates. They handle the balance fairly well (sea salt chocolate can often be overpowering, but theirs is pretty good). My favourite bar is the bacon chocolate! I wouldn’t get this anywhere else — they use a bacon that is not TOO salty and it’s covered in sugar, so you get a good mix of bitter chocolate, chewy, savoury bacon and a bit of sweetness. :)
Another favourite are their chocolate covered hazelnuts that also had a bit of honeysuckle. So good! That’s worth 5 bucks in my books.
The ice cream is some of the best I’ve ever had. I’ve tried several of the flavours and none have disappointed.
Have yet to try their truffles.
Yes; the price is not cheap — I used to work in a store that sold imported chocolates, and in this context I do not find the price, for locally made chocolate that is this delicious, to be too bad.
If I could offer some advice to the owner, I have never seen them offer samples of the chocolate in-​store or on the sidewalk, and this would be a good idea to draw more people.

The homemade ice cream is amazing. Try the avocado-​mint, it’s delicious!

As a former resident of the beloved Roncesvalles neighborhood, I made it a habit to visit as many of the new and old local shops situated in the area. One of these shops was The Chocolateria. Since I’m a huge fan of anything sweet (especially if it’s covered in chocolate) it was an obvious MUST for me to visit this store.
When we first entered the shop we were greeted by the sweet aroma of mouth watering chocolate. A friendly staff member (whom I think is the owner) also said hello and offered us assistance however we didn’t require any help since we were just there to browse and buy.
The shop itself is rather small in size. A few tables were set up in the front (which I presume is for patrons to sit and enjoy their house made ice cream) and there were walls & tables of chocolate covered goodies placed strategically throughout the store — plentiful but organized.
For a small space, the shop has an impressive inventory offering delightful treats such as house made ice cream, potato chips dipped in chocolate, cocoa powder, and an array of truffles. That day I purchased the dark chocolate sea salt caramel turtles. This palatable candy consisted of bittersweet dark chocolate encasing a smooth and creamy caramel filling. There was some sea salt sprinkled on top which was a subtle salty taste that complemented the sweetness of the chocolate & caramel very well.
The pricing of the products are comparable to other local chocolate shops in Toronto (ie. they are a tad on the pricey side) but the quality of the product is what you are paying for. Overall, delicious chocolates. I have not tried enough of their products to say it is the best in town but it is definitely worth a try if you happen to be in the vicinity.

Best ice cream I have ever had. Seriously go here!!!
I love their kitchen sink ice cream. They take some of their baked treats that don’t sell and chop them up, and put them into the ice cream. The ice cream is loaded with fun surprises because not even they can tell you what is inside. The salted caramel is a flavour they usually always have on hand, and is a go to. All the ice cream tastes really fresh as it’s made right there in house.
I am sure the chocolate treats they have here are good too, but I haven’t dipped into them. They have such things as chocolate covered bacon.

The Chocolateria is a small boutique of chocolatey sweets.
While waiting for a table at Barque for brunch, we wandered into this small shop.
Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, chilli chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, sugar-​free chocolate, and oh-​so-​popular bacon chocolate!
I was pleasantly surprised by their unique items.
There was an assortment of chocolate covered nuts and fruit and chocolate covered ginger as well. The pretzels looked good and they even have chocolate covered chips! Rosemary truffles anyone?
I decided to buy two bars:
* Salted dark chocolate
* Milk chocolate and bacon
The chocolate here was expensive.
About $ 25 dollars for two bars.
I’d pop into this shop again if I’m in the neighborhood and I need a chocolate fix!
If you want to learn how to make your own goodies, they offer classes here as well.

Tim English is amazing.
A succesful lawyer turned chocolatier, this store is the mixture of creativity and an entrepeneurial spirit.
First off, the peanut butter bacon chocolate is a must. Unexpectedly amazing chewing into bacon like it were a raisin.
Second off, i highly recommend the initimate truffle making course Tim can arrange for you and your friends. It makes for a very fun night.
There’s passion, there’s fun ingredients, there’s pure whimsy in the stuff he makes.
