Roger's Chocolates was a new chocolate brand to me and certainly the reason why is that it's a…read moreCanadian brand and even though it's very close to us our trips up there are quite infrequent. We got a regular milk chocolate bar and that sucker is rich and dense. One row of chocolate squares after a meal and I'm good. The chocolate bar definitely isn't American corporate chocolate and actually tastes like chocolate as opposed to anything else. If you're like Steve and me and just want a little bit of richness and a tad of sweet then this chocolate bar is right up your alley. If you have the stamina and metabolism to eat one of these in one sitting I'd love to record the experience (just kidding, I probably wouldn't actually). Roger's Chocolates also has truffles in which in this case I actually would like to try one or two.

The quality of their chocolates really surprised us. I think my husband said it best. I mean, who…read moreknew that Canada had such great chocolate? The Heritage Store was closed when we arrived during our BC Bites & Sights tour. Fortunately, we were able to see some of it through the window. It's an architecturally historic building & shop. It was a treat just to see the old wooden built-in shelves, leaded glass decor, and stained glass half dome entryway that appears to be a Queen Anne Revival style of Victorian architecture. I don't know, it could be a mixture of different styles. All I know is that we saw a lot of this during our tour. They saved us a rather large, and individually wrapped, vanilla cream chocolate as part of the tour. I'm not usually a fan of flavored cream chocolates. I remember getting stuck with that one piece of Russel Stover chocolate that nobody wanted. Well, this vanilla cream one was nothing like that. It's on a totally different quality level. Let's just say that we loved it so much that we placed a mail order of various flavors. My BYO 5 pack included flavors such as maraschino cherry, rum, coffee, blueberry, and dark peanut butter. I also bought a cute tin full of various types of chocolates. This assortment had a few of their signature Empress Squares as well. Everything is (or was) delicious! We're still going through the box. So far, we love all of them. The "Whale Song" by Dana Statham is a great keepsake. We saw whales when our cruise ship was entering Victoria Harbour. It's what I would have bought if the store had been open on that very late Friday evening. Heck, I probably would have bought more had it been open after 10:30pm. Maybe it's a good thing that it was closed. I saved the best for last. The prices are actually pretty decent. Get them while you're there. I can't say the same about their shipping fees to Florida (hot climate). They did arrive in great condition via FedEx. I'd order again, but it would only be once a year due to shipping costs. It's worth a visit when in Victoria.

What a nice chocolate shop! It has been here for many years!…read more You may purchase a single piece of chocolate, larger induvial wrapped cholates, and many different sized pre boxed box's of chocolates. There are some that come in nice tins with Rodgers shop or lovely scenes. We bought a few of the chocolates to try then and several items to take back home to share with friends later. The prices were good for the great quality of the chocolates! The nice lady who helped us was very knowledgeable and told us about the history of Rogers, it has been around for a very long time. She remembers getting Rogers Choclates in her childhood.

Tried their sinfully silky chocolate tart as a part of the Fisherman's Table event at Steveston…read more Gorgeously rich tart that wasn't too sweet. It had a cheesecake-like base layer topped with chocolate ganache and a chocolate short crust. The berries on top were all carefully picked - perfect in shape, all deliciously sweet, without any tartness. Loved the chocolate fish detail that paid homage to the area - what a thoughtful touch. Will def visit their storefront to try more of their treats. The ladies at the counter also lovely.

It's right in the main tourist area so it was really easy to find. The menu is extensive and has a ton of options so it was hard to pick what to get. I got a chocolate cone with the brownie dip. My husband got a vanilla cone with the praline dip. And my toddler got a cup of chocolate ice cream with the chocolate dip. We all enjoyed what we ordered. It was super rich and delicious. However it was really messy so it was hard to not get it all over yourself and you had to eat it quickly. My only complaint was we ordered 3 different sizes (the smallest one they had and the next two sizes up) and they were all about the same size. For the expensive price, it was a bit frustrating to pay for a small size but get the same size as the smallest one they offer.
