Oprah approved Chocolatier in Whitby? Reading the local newspaper article, I was in disbelief but…read moredecided I have to check this place out! Now is the time to think about Valentines Day gift, right? It was a very small business in the uptown Whitby where new businesses are coming and gone for the recent years. The owner told me that they've been in business about 2 years. How did I not notice? Anyways, their product line-up was not as extensive as I wished (bonbons, chocolate bars and a few kinds of hot cocoa). But the bonbons are beautifully arranged in the glass display case. So, to start - I got 6 bonbons. - STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE - CREME BRÛLÉE - COOKIES & CREAM - SMORES - SALTED CARAMEL - 70% DARK I liked them they apparently use good quality of chocolate. I wished they had more dark chocolate items. Outside layer was thin yet had intense/nice chocolate aroma. Inside of Crème Brulee, Salted caramel, and 70% dark were a bit monotone with all oozy texture, no other sensations. Others had a bit of textures added, with a layer of cookie. Each has its unique flavor. Enjoyable. $2.50 each. Super affordable. Yes, they are certainly in my Valentines' day gifts. Online order/shipping available.

That Chocolate Shoppe in the Village in located at The Courtyard in historic Pickering…read more It is a cute little shop that has a lot of on site made chocolate related goodies all packaged nicely and ready to be gifted as gifts! The chocolate enrobed ginger and coffee beans does look interesting. You can also pre order Made to order cakes, cupcakes and other baked goods. Oh and some chocolate products that might be fun to play with or share with your special someone in private are also on sale too.... just imagine the possibilities! :)

Chocolate Margaret uses Merkin Chocolate Wafer candy over real chocolate. If you place an order…read morewith her she will change it without notice, you will pay for her time and then she will come and go. She will help herself to treats brought in to your private party. 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.

I've been here twice - once in the summer and once recently in November…read more I got two gelatos in the summer and I thought the price was reasonable (I think it was around $3 for one). It came in a container with a lid so you can easily take it to go and there was quite a lot of gelato too (I couldn't finish it). If I remember correctly, they make the gelato themselves. I have an addiction to pumpkin spice lattes so when I saw their sign outside saying that they sell it, I had to try it. I think I prefer Second Cup or Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte over Isabella's but it's not bad here. This is a cute little place to catch up with a friend or to relax with a cup of coffee. They sell a variety of snacks that I'll definitely be trying!

Very cute cafe in Oshawa. Delicious baked good, sandwiches and bagels. It is trendy and family run…read more Unfortunately the service is VERY slow.

NOTHING BUT AMAZING!…read more Carla was quick and great with communication. She exceeded my expectations with my cake order. A lot of other cakes were charging an arm and a leg or saying it was too elaborate to do. But Carla did not disappoint! Artwork was stunning and her cake was just as delicious. It absolutely a hit at my nephew's party; everyone wanted to know where I had gotten it done. I will most definitely come back for future events!

Cupcake Goodness is a new spot in Whitby and it's a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth like…read moremyself. I've tried 4-6 cupcakes here and each one is as enjoyable as the last. You'll find your standard flavours here if you're looking to satisfy a craving but what I enjoy most about visiting here is that there are always new flavours and types of goodies on rotation (this week when I visited there was a Birthday Cake flavour!) You'll find macarons here, gluten-free cupcakes and even lactose-free cupcakes too. Cupcakes are $3.50 each, or 6 for $19. If you're overwhelmed and not sure what to try first - Get yourself a Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcake and a latte. After you have either one of these you'll be a fan.

I tried their salted caramel cupcake and it was delicious. It was a great surprise to look up their Yelp business page and see the variety of things they offer. I also had a great conversation with everyone who was there, including the baker. I am not a huge fan of baked goods in general, but this place had my mouth watering for more. I can't wait to stop buy and try more of their stuff this weekend.

I 'forced' myself to have multiple visits before I reviewed it. I know, cupcakes are tough…read more I went to Cupcake Junkie twice to get cupcakes for a fam jam. I ordered a dozen fresh ones and they were fantastic. I also bought day-old cupcakes and there were also fantastic! Don't shun the day-olds! The variety isn't as good as the fresh ones, but I didn't hear one person complain as they were quickly devoured. What I enjoy the most about their cupcakes is that the cake isn't sweet, the icing and filling take care of the sweet. I'm not saying the cake is blah, I'm saying the cake not being sugary balances them so your teeth don't hurt. The 3rd visit was to pickup my Valentine's Day treats! I ordered 6 vanilla minis, 6 chocolate minis and a heart shaped Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. As a chocolate addict, I thought I would like the chocolate ones more, but the vanilla minis stole my heart. The picture of the cake is deceiving. I expected it to be just a heart shaped cookie, but it really is a cake! The best way to describe it is a fluffy cookie; it was freaking awesome. I should've got one for myself. ;) My last visit was for a light supper. I had some time to kill, so I ordered a pulled pork sandwich on a kaiser combo and took a seat. It's a very cozy venue, but not crowded. All of the tables were clean and the large windows let lots of natural light in. I had a coffee while I waited and they brought me a housemade marinara sauce and flatbread. Delightful! It was warmed up and had a little heat; I could've eaten the whole thing, but I had to leave room for my sandwich. Their coffee is fantastic; it comes from a local roaster called Trebilock.The kaiser was fresh and the pork was slow-cooked to perfection. The coleslaw on the sandwich was a nice twist. It was crisp and saucy, just how I like it. It was a great meal. I'd love to try their other sandwiches! I'm not done! I got a combo, so it's cupcake time! So many choices, but their Facebook posts convinced me the try the Cupcake of the Month. Each month they have a creative cupcake featured that you must try. From all of their cupcakes I've tried, my favourites are Red Velvet, Banana Chip, Maple Bacon, Chocolate Mint and Vanilla. I haven't tried them all, but I haven't had one I didn't like! The warm weather is coming, so I know I'll be back for their Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream! A welcome addition to Whitby. It's got great food and friendly service. They will make you a cupcake junkie!
