Best soft serve I have ever had!…read more We stopped at Chocolate Favoris on an evening in mid May, when our cruise ship, Norwegian Bliss, docked in Victoria for the evening. We walked into the downtown area and browsed some shops. We decided to grab a sweet treat before walking back to our ship. After walking in and out of a few other ice cream shops, we noticed Chocolate Favoris and went in to check it out. We immediately noticed that this spot was different. All four of us ordered a different soft serve dessert and we were blown away. I had chocolate with hazelnut spread and hazelnut chocolate candies in a waffle cup. Amazing! We devoured our treats on the walk back to our ship and they were, by far, the best part of our short visit to Victoria and the best soft serve any of us had ever had. Highly recommend!

They're a chocolate and candy shop (suprise!) with a smattering of chocolate-adjacent treats such as chocolate dipped soft-serve ice cream cones! I bought several packages of wrapped chocolates togo and tried their Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream. As busy as they were, staff were efficient and friendly. The dipped cone was really good and the chocolates were pretty tasty.

Lots of Maple syrup and other maple flavored items along with a large variety of Canadian candies. Small shop, not a place to sit and enjoy. The employees were overwhelmed which was all over their faces. Had about 5 behind the counter and about 2 serving up the scoops for the long line. One employee loudly asked her coworkers why it was so crazy...well it's 730pm on a Sunday with a cruise ship in port.

We stopped initially for a quick ice cream bar but these were no DQ bars, they are completely hand made with unique flavours. At $6.00 each they are a touch pricey but totally worth it.

I ordered 2 scoops in a cup, strawberry chocolate swirl and vanilla bean for $8.66. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I received neither. The "strawberry chocolate swirl" showed no sign of strawberries, and the "vanilla bean" showed no sign of vanilla bean grains. So I got chocolate and vanilla by mistake? Not a great start. Anyway, the actual product was fine, more watery than creamy. It tasted like ice cream, but honestly nothing special at that price.
