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).

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!

We learned about the history of chocolate and were able to taste different samples! We also made a handful of chocolates that we took home, along with mini chocolate lava cakes! It's totally worth the price!! David was amazing! We had to reschedule our session due to workshops closing because of covid and he was very responsive and understanding! I would definitely recommend doing as a couple, with family and group of friends!! So fun

Terrible ice-cream and cone. It was $3.99 for a two scoop ice cream cone. I got the mint ice cream…read moreand double chocolate. I have never tasted more artificial flavours. The mint ice cream tasted like mouthwash and the cone was so hard. How is an adult suppose to bite into this titanium-like waffle cone, let alone a child? This is the only ice cream parlour in Jackson Square, but after today, I'll never step foot inside again. Just appalling.

Cute local spot. Decided to get 2 scoops, and they were huge scoops for the price, 2 scoops too…read moremuch. $5.75 for 2 scoops plus $0.80 for the regular cone. For someone who eats quite a bit of ice cream, I can guarantee that was a very reasonable price given the size of the scoops. Only downside is that the ice cream started to melt as soon as I got them and turned out to be very messy, but I asked for a cup and a spoon with my order so just flipped my ice cream over into the cup and tadaa it became a little less messy. I loved both the flavours I went for however the truffles (white and regular chocolate chunks) in the ice cream were a little hard, I wished that had melted instead of the ice cream. Regardless, cute spot, worth the price and experience, will probably go back if I'm in the area.
