Here are 10 spots to get your chocolate fix.
The order of the results in our guides are solely determined by our users.
1
Sud Forno
With two locations in the downtown core, this mini-empire of Italian bakeries is just getting started. From the minds behind Terroni, this cafe offers everything from freshly baked bread to homemade pasta, but our favourite has to be the selection of baked goods. The Nutella bombolone -- an Italian doughnut filled with Nutella -- is devilishly irresistible. Come for the espresso, stay for the chocolate.
4
Louix Louis
There's something special about the chocolate cake at Louix Louis. The super-luxe restaurant offers a 13-layer chocolate cake that is sure to wow your entire table. Calling it The King's Cake seems fitting, especially since it's garnished with gold leaf and a Guayaquil ganache; expensive Ecuadorian chocolate. You've seen it splashed across Instagram...go try it.
5
ChocoSol
Chocolate bar with a mint punch. ChocoSol is an ethically sourced chocolate and coffee company, that puts emphasis on ecology and directly sourcing their products from Mexican forest gardens tended by indigenous farmers. The no-frills shop on St. Clair West features bean-to-bar chocolates that are steeped in tradition. Be sure to buy a pack of drinking chocolate to take home and maybe a few bars to keep you satisfied on your "long" subway home.
6
SOMA Chocolate
Assorted chocolate truffles. SOMA Chocolate has become synonymous with Toronto based chocolateries. Whether you're headed in to grab a curated box of truffles or sitting down for a cup of chili spiked cocoa, you won't be disappointed. They have three locations across the GTA, making this chocolate shop easily accessible for the whole city.
7
CXBO at La Banane
La Banane, an Ossington joint well known for its extravagant entrees and yellow door, is also home to the Ziggy Stardust Disco Egg -- created in collaboration with the well-known chocolate shop CXBO. The hand-painted creation is as beautiful as it is delicious and just waiting for you to smash open.
9
Le Gourmand
Original chocolate chip cookie from Le Gourmand. Any mention of chocolate in this city requires an honourable mention to Le Gourmand's famed chocolate chip cookie. Loaded with chunks of semi-sweet chocolate, this cake-like cookie has started a small craze amongst chocolate chip aficionados. Not the only chocolate staple on the menu, this bakery offers a multitude of french pastries.

Mary's Brigadeiro
Mary's Brigardeiro is a small shop on the Danforth. Specializing in Brazilian style truffles, there's nothing quite like it in the city. Pop-in to grab a quick treat, or order a whole box and explore the unique flavours offered.
3
Bunner's Bakeshop
To our vegan compatriots, the chocolate cupcakes at Bunner's are almost as legendary as the bakery itself. Make the trip to Kensignton if you're searching to fill a chocolate craving. Even better, grab the Smores cupcake.
