We’re open for curb-side ordering and pickup at our new touch-free pickup pillar just outside our front door (and yes, it’s just a box). And you can also get prompt delivery, of course!
What has changed because of the COVID-19 crisis? We evolved!
We are still in full operation. But to protect the health of our customers and our staff, in-person visits are limited to one customer at a time. We still welcome and encourage phone, email and online orders, and will have them ready for touch-less pickup or delivery in a flash.
We have always prided ourselves on extremely meticulous hygiene in every step of production, throughout the shop, and we are now even more vigilant and rigorous, with as many touch-free interactions as possible.
How can I order and get chocolates? Online, phone, email, and in-person
We’re “open” again! (although you will have to ring the bell at the door when you arrive, which is cleaned after every use). We’re still welcoming orders by email or online or by calling (416) 691-1424. Your order will be carefully prepared and packed promptly for easy curb-side pickup or delivery.
Window shopping? Yes indeed! Right from the sidewalk
At special times of the year, we have seasonal displays in our front window that allow you to see the price and name of each seasonal item, so you can make your selection right from the sidewalk. During those periods, if we’re not swamped, you can even call us from outside and point at the things you want, we’ll fill your order as quickly as possible. We’ve even had people take pictures of their choices from the window and email them to us.
Pickup or delivery: which is best to reduce risk?
Anytime something is shipped, the item likely passes through several vehicles, locations and hands, although all our shippers use industry-leading processes. Still, if possible, we recommend picking up your chocolates at our shop: you can use our outdoor, store-front, touch-less, curb-side option to most effectively minimize risk. And that fresh air and exercise deserves an extra chocolate reward.
Do we ship locally and long-distance? Yes!
You can get a bountiful selection of our fine chocolates carefully packaged and shipped anywhere in Canada for just $30, and if you’re in the Greater Toronto Area, it’s only $20. We also ship worldwide, and all our shipping costs are based on the UPS standard rates we get billed for. Contact us if you’d like an international quote.
