Most of all, the price was reasonable. If you've been to Japan you'll feel like you're back in heaven. BEWARE. If you dont eat pork or meat, beware many salty snacks have PORK, BEEF and other meat n fish extracts etc. Pro tip: pull up your google translate to read the Japanese language ingredients. I can't say more. Just go. Just go....

So glad I found this place! The inventory at the usual store where I get Asian snacks has been…read moregetting worse and worse so I decided to look for a new one and found this one. The selection at Sweetie Bear is amazing! They have the typical popular brands, like Calbee, but some other snacks that I can't find at my local grocery store. Most importantly, they have a decent selection of Boss drinks. I ended up ordering quite a big haul and was surprised it was delivered so soon! What impressed me the most was the good communication to ensure the package got delivered. Very much appreciated: One of my favourites so far are the Marukin Hokkiado Milky Cakes (the pastries in the blue bag at the bottom left corner). Perfectly buttery and sweet. They also stock some rarer Pocky flavours I've been looking for, like mint chocolate. I will definitely be ordering from them again!

She will literally count out pretzel sticks to make sure no one gets an extra one, from the no name brand bag. She is intrusive to your personal life which will go beyond the business you do with her. I question hygiene because we made chocolate products at our party and she would not allow us to use it as she said she planned on giving it away ...even though we paid for it...and a dozen ppl touched it. Do not do a chocolate party with her.

My dear friend and I were shopping at RioCan Durham Centre a couple of Mondays ago. We had come out…read moreof the GAP Factory Store and saw this Purdy Chocolatier store diagonally across from it. I have only seen Purdys at shopping malls. It was my first time seeing a store in a plaza. This Purdys is next to Burgers on Fleek. Does anyone say on fleek anymore?! I remember one of my interns using that phrase back in 2017 or 2018. I would never use slang as a part of a business name, as it becomes dated as time goes on. I frankly hadn't heard of that phrase for years until I saw this business. I digress. I was first introduced to Purdys by two former interns. On their last day of their internship, they both got me chocolates from Purdys. One box had assorted chocolates and the other one had all hedgehog chocolates. Without any hesitation, we headed over to this store after we dropped off our recent purchases at our respective cars. The shopping damage continued at Purdys for me. We walked in. It was a pleasant store. I saw a display for Lunar New Year chocolates. Cool! My friend recently got vegan chocolate from Purdys for Christmas and loved it. She's more of a milk chocolate person than dark. I'm the opposite. I decided to try the vegan dark trail mix bar. I found out that this store has a small section of no-sugar-added chocolates on the right, in the corner, when you first walk in. Yay! I found hedgehog chocolates that didn't have any sugar added and snatched a box. I spoke to the woman at the counter. She was great to point out that the no-sugar-added bars were BOGO. Sweet! Okay, not literally. I noticed a huge chocolate Santa that was 50% off. I asked the woman whether it was hollow. You'd think that I'd get a yes or no response. Nope, I got neither. She said that some parts were thicker than other. So, I'm guessing it's hollow for the most part. I'd die eating that chocolate Santa. Maybe if I paced myself, I could freeze most of it and indulge whenever I wanted to. The woman at the store was nice. She placed everything in a purple bag. I paid with a debit card. I tapped and all was great. This store also has ice cream. I've never had Purdys ice cream, so I'll need to return. I love the chocolate that I bought. The quality is great. Yummy. The no-added-sugar chocolates were perfect. I'm a fan. I still need to have the vegan one. I got sidetracked by all the hedgehogs... haha! This store is awesome. I'll definitely return for more chocolate goodies and more. (8)

I grew up eating this and I'm glad to report that they haven't changed the recipe whatsoever - it's still the banana, blueberry, and strawberry concoction. I recommend that you get it in a sugar cone. All the scoops you order come with a chocolate on top. There other specialty is of course, chocolate. There are a lot of beautifully wrapped gift baskets and boxes that would make great gifts for the holidays. There are also chocolates that can be purchased individually.

Funnel cake in Pickering, YES PLEASE!…read more I love funnel cake, whether it was getting it from Canada's Wonderland as a kid or by getting it at the CNE, it is a treat that you absolutely need to get in the summertime. When I was taking a stroll through the Pickering flea market with my girlfriend we stumbled upon this place that said they have funnel cake. Being the dessert lover that I am I could not say no. This place advertised funnel cakes along side a whole bunch of other deliciously looking treats. They sell candy bags as well as fudge. But probably the most advertised one is the funnel cake itself. It comes in two sizes small and a large with the latter covering the whole plate. You can get either size with ice cream and strawberry sauce along with icing sugar - typical funnel cake. In terms of flavor, the funnel cake is a little bit more crispier than that you would get at a summer fair or Canada's Wonderland. I prefer to have my funnel cakes a little bit softer but this did not kill it for me or anything like that. The ice cream is not soft serve, it is from a tub that you would get at a grocery store. Again not the worst thing in the world. Overall it is a decent funnel cake, and one that you should give it a try. I personally don't think that it's something that I would go out of the way for but if you are shopping at the Pickering flea markets then you should give it a try after you are done shopping.
