Review from Lori M.
Let me preamble (like how I used that) this review in that I have loved this shop for years. I have driven out to their old storefront plenty of times to taste their wares.
My husband (who asks for nothing), only wanted them to do our wedding cake. Full Stop. No discussion.
I have yet, and I mean yet, pass their new storefront at the market and not buy something. I have tried every... single... one... of their individual desserts. Never a bad one, just varying levels of bliss.
Their hot chocolate and cocoa packaged to take home is excellent for drinking and baking (tested faithfully and often by yours truly).
Chocolates are awesome with original and sometimes surprising fillings.
And their chocolate drink honestly makes me wiggle with happiness. Reminds me of hot chocolate I used to drink in Paris.
Their is artistry in their work. Almost makes you want to not mar the beauty..... Phfft, who am I kidding.
Try them... You'll see. And thank me later. -

This is a review of the new location for this business that survived in Eastern Passage for many years. The new place is fantastic! It is is the new market with a long bright counter for ogling all of those little chocolate bombs of pleasure - and they are indeed bombs. It just so happened that every truffle that I selected had a couple of hidden drops of a Nova Scotia produced wine/liquor! I like this kind of supporting local produce.
The new store has extended hours of service which is great! Monday is the only day they are closed.
One note is that they are not in the centre of the market, but have a great location facing the glass wall overlooking the parking lot.
Definitely worth finding and enjoying in this new location. -

Insanely beautiful confections. The only problem with Gourmandise is that it's impossible to choose which gorgeous pastries to take home with you.
And I love that I don't actually have to drive out to the Eastern Passage location. They're at the Halifax Farmers Market every Saturday. As for which ones I love...truthfully I just do a "I'll take one of those, and one of those, and...." Frankly, I haven't found a bland one yet!
