My wife and I really enjoyed our cappuccinos. We often stop for their ice cream and gelato.

Sardar Elias

My favorite place in St. Catharines! Every time I visit the city, Chocolates Etc is my first stop for their mind-blowing espresso. The taste of their coffee and chocolates takes me right back to Europe. If there's anything better than their coffee, it's the people <3

Redwan Safi

Great quality local family owned ice cream and coffee shop. The chocolates are really good. Enough reason to support it.

Yummy Moon

Great espresso, baked goods and gelato. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Authentic polish atmosphere.

This is a beautiful location in downtown st catharines. The best gelato and chocolates in the city, maybe even the region. Its family run and everyone feels welcome. It even has its own community of people who are very welcoming.

Amanda Scotland

Richard & his wife made my sisters wedding cake. Not only was it VERY beautiful but each layer was delicious. 3 different flavours and nailed all 3. Will go back for future occasions.

Tony Guerin

Lauren Jackson

Excellent flavors, Very helpful and wonderful to talk to! Comfy and cozy too!

Davindra Ramnarine

They serve up uniquely flavoured gelatos, and ices.Some of the flavours they had available yesterday were ginger, pumpkin, and spicy chocolate and I'd gladly sit down and stuff my face with all three flavours.

Bree O

What a great place for gelato! I tried the Nocella (kind of like nutella) and Chocolate Brownie. The adorable little chocolate on top made this such a sweet treat. We went during a rainy day just before closing and the place was quite empty. It allowed us to be able to enjoy this completely magical patio. I had a chance to peek inside and saw so many goodies to try. I cannot wait to come back and try more of these sweet delicacies.

Charles Burton

Great coffee, wonderful staff

Dan Doctor

You will not find a better place for chocolates or Gelato. I often go here for their sweets with my wife and we've never been disappointed. Fanatical customer service and outstanding quality products. We've never had a negative experience here and everything is always fresh. Their Affogato is to die for. Perfect espresso poured over chocolate gelato. Bardzo dobrze!

Robert Hooper

Our little family of 3 stopped by today for the first time and your store is absolutely amazing!! We'll definitely be back again soon!!

Matt Zekan

I love this place . Taking my niece here every Saturday after basketball is a tradition .We love going here for gelato .It is always fresh and tasty with lots of varieties . Richard and Cindy and her kids are dynamite with the customers . The coffee is always great , nice and strong , not the brown or tan crayon water you get in other places . I travel to Europe every year and this is a taste of Europe right in our backyard.

I love the ice creams. Awesome and creative!! I tried chocolate Eclairs too. It was not that good though. :(

Love this place! Always a summertime favorite of ours! Love the gelato and the outdoor patio. Only things to improve would be being right across from the beer store and the awkward parking...but still would return as often as possible!

Jake Elstone

This is totally a gem hidden in plain sight. The gelato is heavenly, the wide variety of handmade chocolates and pastries are delictible, and the service and atmosphere is consistently warm and welcoming. Inside is a cosy cafe and the outside patio is very well appointed, spacious and comfortable.

Got two flavors, mint stracciatella and coconut. The mint sucked, tasted WAY too minty and strong, and gave me mint burps well into the night, the coconut was good.

The staff are so helpful and friendly, both the chocolate and gelato are great. Well worth a visit even just to have a espresso.

Great hidden gem

james reimer

Amazing spot for chocolate, gelato and coffee. Super friendly owners as well

Andre Laurent

Worth the trip! Take the time to start a while. Not only is this place the best for desserts, the outside and the inside are so amazingly and tastefully decorated with interesting artifacts and knick knacks. They are probably one of the best tasting, best priced and amazing variety of Italian pastries, chocolate desserts, gelato and non dairy icecreams. They were nominated for awards by the St Catherine's standard to name one, there are others. If you miss visiting this dessert heaven you have lessened your life experience.

Josh Bolton

Amazing chocolates, gelato and cafe drinks and even more amazing staff!

Jerome James

Great confectionery treats and gellato

Jason Daniels

Stopped in for some gelato after a hike. Had the a chocolate brownie gelato as well as a chocolate mint. The brownie gelato was fantastic, but the mint chocolate gelato was way too minty. After the gelato I had a coffee which was fantastic. They also have a large selection of chocolates and some baked goods.

Alice Howard

As a young Brit travelling the world, I was always in search of great chocolate. One day in 2000, my boyfriends mother sent me some incredible, rich, smooth, yummy chocolate. ......Finally! I found it! The most delicious chocolate in the world! Where was it from pray tell? Why, Chocolate's Etc ofcourse! That boyfriend became my husband, I moved to Canada to marry him. I can now enjoy Chocolates Etc, in person, whenever I wish. Such charming owners and chocolatiers, thank you for the years of great gifts from my mother in law, husband and now children! (Chocolate worth moving across the world for). Haha.

mergitur Wilhelm

The selection and quality of chocolates, ice cream and other cakes and cookies is very impressive. Calorie counting vavishes upon arrival. Comfortable seating is available outside and within. Often special entertainment events are held on weekends. The coffee and tea selection and quality is reliably superb.

Tanya Kogan

The best ice cream I ate at Canada, if ever.

Matias Cazal

Really, really cool place. Coffee shop, chocolatier place. Good place to find "no sugar added" chocolates along with delicious normal chocolate. This place has a wide selection of really good gelato, it tastes very authentic.

Cam Langendoen

Best chocolate in town ????

vipin acharya

It's such an awesome place. Soo beautiful and classic. Love to come here every weekend.

Erin Moran

The gelato is good. Not like Italy. But good. Service is what earned a three star. While I can appreciate the mom and pop side of this shop, I can't get on board with how disorganized the staff was. (possibly an owner or two?) and they are more than happy to leave a short line of customers waiting while they shoot the breeze casually with a friend.

S Mc

Best hot chocolate on a snowy day.

Naneesh Powell

Great service family friendly

BLUE

love this place very delicious gelato is in here

Shelley Dion

Very friendly, at the same time we were under the impression that there was at 25 flavours of the Gelato Ice Cream. We did not see that amount of flavours. The flavour that I was interested in was not available, although there was a little left, I was told that there wouldn't be anymore until tomorrow. We did purchase about 10 truffles, and because of my inability to eat solid foods, found the woman was very helpful and friendly when selecting the truffles.

Jillian V

Have driven by this place several times and always wanted to check it out. They did not disappoint! Friendly staff and great atmosphere, will definitely be back to try their Gelato!

Harriet Macneil

Perfect

David Greenlaw

A chocolate maker that also makes ice cream. It is a great family business that is comfortable and great quality.

Lisa Borg

Richard, Cindy & family have grown their little corner of the earth into a wonderful business and a "must go to and see" desination. It takes you to a time and place that you may have been seen in a movie or a trip in Europe. Their hospitality and kindness is a true example of customer service - thank you! The gelato is amazing but the chocolate is the best!!

Ngozi Lasta

Jonathan Baldin

A Niagara staple!

Susan Harrison

Always the best gelato! Only surpassed by their warmth and hospitality. Truly a gem!!!!

Khaled Bashir

Need more stars! Best coffee in the country. I drive all the way from Toronto when I miss the taste. Richard, the owner, is a wonderful host and extremely funny...always a great time when he's around! Minhal, the barista with the long hair, happens to be quite a charming and entertaining fella as well. Ask him for life advice.

David Oancia

Not the best. But my daughter lives the ice cream.

Jeff Smith

Good gelato

Lori Luckinuk

Love ice cream and homemade fudge mmmm

Dylan White

If you want to be welcomed like family, this is the place to come. Heart-felt employees, serving great beverages, and chocolate, a true pearl of st.catharines!

Lisa Marie Erb

Lovely place with an amazing atmosphere. Always a hard decision wheater to try the chocolate, the gelato, the cake or everything ???? They even have possibilities for vegetarians/vegans, so I tried a dark hot chocolate with almond milk, super delicious. I am really happy that I discovered them during my time in St. Catharines. I would love to have something similar in my neighborhood in Germany.

Denise Zecchin

What an amazing place and experience! Staff is beyond friendly and welcoming, drinks and chocolates are so delicious, it just makes you want to come back! You can really feel the family atmosphere, everyone in Niagara should visit this wonderful place! From two new loyal costumers :)

Robert Tailleur

We travelled all the way from Sudbury to St. Catharines for their gilato and coffee and it was worth the drive!

Salma Bakr

Lovely patio, delicious ice cream, and friendly staff.

Michelle Greve

There is chocolate and then there is Chocolate Etc. One of the best places I've found for not only delicious quality chocolate, but the best gelato I've tasted worldwide. I've been to Italy several times. This quaint shop nestled on the corner of Welland Avenue & Lake Street is easy for even a Torontonian to find... I was introduced to this lovely little shop and it's ever changing look and appeal shortly after it opened, thanks to a friend. It is the most inviting place even after 10 years, the entire family still greet me with open arms. Their ability to create magnificent delectables for all occasions is amazing. Making it tough to eat, yet tougher to resist! It's a feast for your eyes and palate, actually it's a sensory explosion...* Make time to relax and enjoy your treat(s) (bet you can't have just one). While there you may be lucky enough to be entertained by local singers, pianists, actors and patrons, you never know what will happen during your visit other than your palate being completely satisfied. I may be a long time customer, however I think of myself as a lifetime friend of this marvellously magical place. It's worth the drive to St. Catharines...!

denise burton

Best owners and gelato every. I really enjoy their weekend entertain. Amosphere feels loke family

Google It

Gelato is very good

Ellen Cressman

Amazing experience every time I go, spring, summer, winter, fall, doesn't matter the family and staff go above and beyond to help everyone feel welcome.

The best dark hot chocolate in Ontario .The server Julia first class. Order Barcelona if you want your Hot Chocolate 10 X.

citizenmars78

House made chocolate, gellato. Killer cafe. An oasis of mine. When ever my girls are feeling down I know its time to take them here. It's not a run in, run out. Spend some much deserved off time and just relax for a bit. We all need to treat ourselves to a little real chocolate and a breath every now and then.

Cody Cabral

Excellent service, enviornment, and of course gelato!

The staff was so friendly, the coffee, gelato and cakes were all delicious, and there was even some lovely entertainment in the form of a very talented customer playing the piano that was there. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it's even a pokestop if that's your jam. 10/10 highly recommend.

The BEST coffee I have had in years! Extremely friendly staff. Yesterday was our first time there. Going back tonight! We have added to our rotation --- in fact, it's our new number one cafe. Looking forward to trying every flavour!

I was exploring the town and suddenly I saw this attractive Ice cream place so I told my wife let’s try it. I had the feeling that it’ll be an amazing experience and it was. The place inside is a part of a fantasy movie with a lot of antiques that tell about the history of the place that had a three generations of happiness creation. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is filled with a magical vibe. The ice cream itself was amazing. Try hazelnut. Plus a live music Saturdays.
