Chocolates Etc.

🎄A Great Summer Spot that Becomes a Christmas Wonderland🎄YOU have to see it for yourself! 🎄 We visited Chocolates Etc. again this Christmas season and once again were completely amazed. It is a truly magical place. The holiday chocolate creations are spectacular. There is a Santa Claus made entirely of chocolate that stands about two feet tall and a beautiful chocolate candle centerpiece that is close to a foot and a half in height. Every piece is crafted with care and most are available in both milk and dark chocolate. These are not only delicious treats. They are works of art and perfect for Christmas gifting. I have already started giving some of their signature chocolate bars as early Christmas gifts. One friend texted me and said that she was obsessed with her chocolate. She also told me it was beautiful and thanked me for such a thoughtful gift. Her reaction speaks for itself. I am also traveling for Christmas and bringing many of these chocolates with me for family and friends. To be honest, half of my luggage is chocolate and that is not an exaggeration. The cafe is wonderfully cozy at this time of year. There are warm lights, festive decorations and the feeling of Christmas in the air. Cindy, Richard, Hudson and the entire team always make every visit special. The gelato is fantastic, the desserts are tempting and the coffee is rich and full of flavour. If you need gifts for anyone on your list, this is the perfect place to shop. You can also purchase gift certificates which make holiday giving even easier. Thank you again Cindy and Richard. You make every visit feel like home. Izabella and Family Chocolates Etc. is my favorite spot in St. Catharines and one of the best places in the Niagara Region. The chocolates are delicious and beautifully crafted, with seasonal creations for every occasion, from Thanksgiving turkeys to Easter bunnies. If you want to mark a birthday with something sweet, thank a special coach, or simply brighten someone’s day, you will find the perfect gift here. The gelato is outstanding, the desserts are always tempting, and the coffee is rich and flavourful. Cindy and Richard are the most gracious hosts, and Hudson and the rest of the team make every visit warm and welcoming. A true gem. Thank you Cindy and Richard! Izabella & Family

Last year I had an unexpected move, and one thing that made me feel happier was that I was closer to Chocolates Etc! I had been there before, but started spending more time there this year. The environment is always friendly, and I love all the knick-knacks around the room. The outdoor area is also very nice; love getting gelato and sitting in the sun on a warm day (Chocolates Etc has the best gelato in St. Catharines, for sure)! Their baked goods and coffees are also lovely. Highly suggest checking them out if you're around.

I am thrilled I discovered this place! Gelato is so flavourful! Fresh, locally made and sans-sugars! Will be back again before my vacation ends and I have to leave the area! Will be back again next year!!!

The Italy of St. Catharines - beautiful, local spot with artisanal chocolates and gelato. Staff are warm and welcoming and provide excellent recommendations! Highly recommend the stracciatella if you’re getting gelato. Will be going back!

A beautiful and cozy place with a family atmosphere steeped in history. You can get the best coffee in the area and exquisite ice cream. I haven't tried the chocolate yet, but all the samples look quite delicious. The seasonal decorations are also beautiful. I went during St. Patrick's Day and Easter be back
