And I haven't even begun to talk about the flavors. Their signature dish/pastry is the Mont Blanc. It is highly sought after, and often run out before the afternoon. We made a point of going there yesterday, from my partner's birthday to get some special treats. We were not disappointed. Despite being jampacked, as it often is, there was a good supply of the pastries we sought. New to the mix, is their version of a tiramisu. It is off the charts! The pastry chef is truly an artist. If you wish to try possibly the best pastries in the entire GTA, this is the place to go. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. It also pays a call ahead to ensure that you can get the products that you're looking for.

Tried the hot chocolate and it was okay, not too sweet. Tried the Apple turnover which was a little chewy - should have warmed it up just a little. Also got their custard puff and it tasted really good. I loved how pretty their cakes looked but I didn't want to do a takeout so had to skip it.

When I first read about Ecila Choco Inc. in Yamato Magazine, I was both excited and intrigued to…read morelearn that there was a chocolatier in Canada who specialized in using Japanese sake in their products. Sake is one of the gluten-free alcoholic beverages that I am grateful for since my gluten allergy precludes me from enjoying the delicious Japanese-brewed beers these days. Alice Ngan, the founder of Ecila Choco Inc., educated herself about sake by enrolling in various courses offered by the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) in 2017. Not only did she learn about the production methods that affect the style, quality, and price of sake, but she also came up with an idea of using sake in chocolate! Nihonshu (Japanese sake) is a complex yet delicate-tasting alcoholic beverage and pairing it with chocolate seems like a great idea, doesn't it? Actually, Alice uses sake kasu or sake lees, which is the solid cake left over from the filtration process during sake production. It contains undissolved rice, yeast, and about eight percent alcohol. She obtains the sake kasu she uses in her chocolates directly from Izumi, a small sake brewery located in the Distillery District of Toronto. I received my first order from Ecila today. It was the 36g box containing four small handmade chocolates and a hand-cranked bear music box. Cute concept but definitely not worth the $67 US I paid for the item plus shipping. I also ordered the same item for a friend in Tokyo which cost $78 US to purchase and ship. Aside from the cost, the chocolates were tasty, but not very impressive. The dark chocolate had the texture and taste similar to the Dove® chocolates you can find at any grocery store or pharmacy in the United States for a fraction of the cost. Further, the sake flavor was almost undetectable. I expected something with much more impact. The bear music box was a cute idea, particularly if you were considering gifting someone with sake chocolates, however, that too was a disappointment. I think it would have been a better idea to make it a wind-up music box than a hand-cranked version. The music box is configured to play the song, "Kimi Wo Nosete" ("君をのせて") by Azumi Inoue, but because it is hand-cranked and not a continuous play mechanism, the music is not easy to enjoy. In any event, my curiosity has been satisfied. I will most certainly think twice before ordering from Ecila again.

There is a display case showing off their beautiful, but pricey cakes and other desserts. Many of their breads are on metal shelves on wheels. I believe they make everything fresh on site. It's not as pretty as some other bakeries but they are catering to locals who want traditional Russian style baked goods. I wish they had a price list posted in the bakery. I find some items have prices marked and others don't. They open early six days a week but close early on Fridays and Sundays and are closed on Saturdays.

The store is small and inviting, and smells absolutely incredible. The staff I've interacted with are always friendly. They have a decent variety of different cookies and chocolates, and it's hard to choose what I want to leave with! If there is one negative, it's that the prices are a bit high...the quality is there, but in the end it's still a lot for a simple cookie at the end of the day. This is why I tend to try for the TGTG option since you get a huge box of cookies for $8. Every time has been consistent in what I get. The cookies are never overdone, they are the perfect consistency. Nothing worse than a hard cookie!
