From the outside, this place looks like it is perpetually closed - a small, dark little store that…read moreyou will walk past and easily miss if not paying attention. Inside, the store is covered floor to ceiling with endless varieties of chocolates and chocolate-related stuff. The chocolate is great quality, because they make everything from Callebaut chocolate. Try the bars, or the melt-in-your-mouth truffles (caramel or plain are my favs). Me being a bit of a chocolate snob, I'd say this place is the only chocolate store in Hamilton I would buy chocolate from.

This chocolate shop is amazing! It's small, but the quality is incredible. Everything tastes fresh…read moreand well-balanced. Quality chocolate has a subtle silkiness to it, and Forrat's definitely delivers on that silkiness. Every time I walk in to the store, the lovely shopkeeper is working behind the counter on a new batch of handmade chocolates. Their truffles are delicious, and their meltaways and their chocolate treats are so good! I love their hot chocolate, and their Mayan chocolate (with cinnamon and chili).

Their chocolate is the best! And if you like chocolate, I suggest you try Walker's Chocolate…read more They are local, Main St. W. Hamilton, and another in Burlington, Both in Ontario.

It had a beautiful interior with extremely cute designs of chocolate, initials, wedding giftsets, necklaces and boxed chocolate at reasonable prices. I came here for the first time and picked out a bag of coffe beans inside dark chocolate for $4.85 and I bought 100g of ginger milk chocolate for $5.70. There were seven pieces of them and they were THE LARGEST ginger milk chocolates I've ever had. They're the size of Godiva truffles! The ginger pieces were HUGE and i did taste the spice it in. Liked it a lot, but I would love it if it was a little more spicy (just cause I'm a really big fan of ginger) I like to use the ginger milk chocolates when comparing chocolate stores because this is an item I get at every chocolate store. Coming back for the blue blueberry chocolates and the red cherry chocolates!!

This is a showcase-type bakery and not a bustling Italian bakery with hot table, breads, tons of…read morepatrons who come in/out on the weekends. Everything is behind glass. I think the majority of their business is fulfilling custom cake orders. At the time of my visit, they had a few different types of canollis that were priced around $2.50-3. So quite average in pricing. It was good. Tiramisu - $2.50 for a smallish slice. Although fresh, they used whipped cream. So that was a bit of a disappointment. Sadly, not many bakeries use the real deal anymore. I prefer the tiramisu at Sweet Paradise. Just ok for me.

We took the Classic Chocolate Making Workshop on a Sunday afternoon. The class was 90 minutes and…read moreincluded a history of chocolate, chocolate tasting, demos, and truffle making and decorating. The instructor, David, was very knowledgeable and patient. The chocolate was delicious and we were able to take home a good amount of chocolate truffles for the price! We also received 2 small lava cakes that we decorated and were baked during class. There is ample parking and the entrance is right at the parking lot. Will definitely come back to take another class!
