| - 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 Yelpers 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.
