Very smooth and tasty hot choco. I tried the Black Pearl, which is bitter as dark choco but it leaves a naturally sweet after-taste. The front desk was very passionate and knowledgeable about cacao bean. Gelato is also great too. Would come back again. Oh the chocolate candy is so so good looking

Best chocolates I've ever tried This isn't our first time here but it will always be on our list to visit when we're in Vancouver. We were here 2 years ago and the place is still as great as ever! I'm a huge chocolate lover and I've tried chocolates almost everywhere I've ever been. These creations win hands down. Only chocolate that came close was in St. Augustine in Florida. You won't be disappointed with this place, I promise a unique and delightful experience.

Incredible chocolate experience I tried their signature hot chocolate, but had it cold as it was such a nice day. I have never had a cold "hot chocolate" before, and it doesn't sound great, but it was incredible. The owner is very knowledgable and particular about how he makes the hot chocolate which is great to see. All the chocolate treats look incredible. The best thing about this place is that it's not overly sweet - the chocolate is showcased at it's best!

I first tried these chocolates four years ago when a client gave them to me as a gift. In December 2024, I called to order more online, and finally made it back to the shop in July 2025. Life got busy and I don’t live nearby, but it was worth the wait. I tried their summer special, rhubarb gelato, and wow, it was absolutely divine. The chocolates were just as incredible. I picked up a small box for my husband, a larger one as a gift, and two bags of their hot chocolate mix. Growing up in a rural area of Oaxaca, Mexico, we used to toast our own cacao beans and take them to the mill for grinding. This chocolate brought back those memories, only now with a more glamorous twist of flavors. Anyone comparing this to regular store-bought chocolate probably hasn’t gone through that process. The prices are fair, the service was fantastic, and I hope to visit again a few more times this summer. Truly excellent quality and warm, welcoming service.

We are absolutely delighted to hear that you've enjoyed our chocolates and that your return visit was worth the wait.

If you want vegan hot chocolate or gelato, this is the place to go to! All of the dark hot chocolates are unreal- if you like ancho chillies, the spice oddity is the way to go!!

Unique Chocolate Boutique This is a very creative and unique chocolate boutique. The proprietor has an interesting twist to his creations - unlike any I've ever seen anywhere. He is obviously very passionate about his products, but the experience is what is really exceptional.

Popped in for a treat last week to partake in Vancouver's ice cream festival on a solo adventure. Came in and had the triple chocolate gelato and every bite of this ice cream was decadent and jam packed with chocolate - which I have been seriously craving. The piece of chocolate served with it was also stunning, beautiful, super clean in it's taste and crunch. I like that they have lots of seating and some great gifts to purchase folks. Friendly and quick service.

Amazingly original, New Dimensions in Chocolates I don't think I will ever forget the moment that I first time taste their Blue Cheese chocolate. As a European who bored to death from eating same flavours of couple hundred years it was a fresh air, and delicious hope. Well done guys!

Stopped by looking for gelato today, the man who helped us was so sweet and lovely. Gave us samples without asking and the gelato was genuinely so good, very real ingredients and not overly sweet, incredible texture 10/10.

Lovely spot and lovely owner to chat with! We see him making hot chocolates most of the time we're there. This place makes amazing hot chocolates. On Saturdays, they do hot chocolate flights. Every year they also participate in the hot chocolate festival and they come up with a very unique, mystery flavour. The store also sell chocolate bonbons and gelato. All which are superb. The ambiance is quaint. It's a small shop with limited seating. It is very cozy and would be a cute spot for a date or a catch up.

Iced hot chocolate? Yes, that is a thing - and at Koko Monk Chocolates it will be refreshing, have a depth of flavour, and not be too sweet. Most of their hot chocolates can be made iced. There is not a lot of room to sit, but it's bright and clean, and the service is helpful and friendly. Anyways, back to the chocolate. This place prides itself on fresh, organic ingredients, and it really shows. I had more than just a drink - it was an experience.

No denying it, this is by far the best place to get hot chocolate and tasty hand crafted chocolates. Everything about this place is fresh ingredients, Hand crafted chocolates with flavours that you would never think to combine, but they do and it's magic for your taste buds. And now I hear they have homemade ice cream, again interesting flavours that combined are simply divine.  Enjoy !!!

What a great spot for hot chocolate! There’s no shortage of choices when choosing your next dark or white hot chocolate drink. And if you can’t decide, grab a flight! They also offer many bean to bar chocolates, Turkish coffee and gelato. Yum! This place offers some seating with partitions so you can comfortably enjoy your visit. Staff was very kind and helpful. We’ll definitely be back on a regular basis, not just for Hot Chocolate Festival (but you must try their creation - so good!).
