Mink A Chocolate Cafe

The owner staff were awesome!  We wanted something classy and chocolaty to add to our wedding favors, and this was it!  Using the little delicious, melt in your mouth dark chocolate squares, we were able to create a cute little package that gained a lot of attention compliments during our wedding.

I am not a fan of chocolate, but I am always down for a new food experience. So when faced with the option to go to a chocolate cafe, I said yes to my guest. It was also a nice spot to wait out the drizzle of a wet Vancouver day, in comfort and warmth. Located facing a courtyard, making this an ideal spot for a quick treat in summer There was plenty of seating by it’s all window front. White lacquered tables and black chairs. Other than a few framed photo collages and a wall branded with their logo and font, the cafe was kept simple and clean.

I've only had chocolates from here and never tried out their cafe. We walked in and it wasn't too busy. I ordered their hot chocolate with 70% cocoa and added organic peppermint. I like how you could choose between 70 or 38% cocoa. It didn't take long for them to make my drink. When I picked it up, they gave out a small dark chocolate square with it. I think I can say this is the best hot chocolate I've had. Although, I'm not a hot chocolate expert, you can definitely tell they use some quality drinking chocolate here. It was smooth and not too sweet. My friend also ordered a waffle to share. I was way too full already from our lunch, so I only tried a bite. It tasted pretty good. I would definitely come back here for their hot chocolate. Might want to try their fondue as well.

One of my nurse friend cannot live without drinking coffee every single day. The good news is I also like coffee and we prefer iced coffee to be exact. I asked her to come with me to try their iced coffee and fondue. Mink chocolate is located in Waterfront. It was a sunny that day so the place was kind of busy. Waited for 10 minutes before we were able to find a table. Their wall is full of wonderful pictures. I actually took a picture of it but like what I said in past post my memory card was broken and erased all of my pictures. We ordered Iced Mocha. Nothing was really special about it, but for some reason we actually like it. Then for our snack, we ordered Personal Chocolate Fondue. It is 70% cacao with selection of seasonal fruits and chiffon cake. The silver serving tray made the presentation really classy. The aroma of the chocolate was so inviting and it has a silky smooth texture. The sweetness of the fruits helps subside the bitterness of the chocolate. One order of the Personal Fondue is around 12 bucks and good for sharing. Next time I might come back to try their chocolates.

I went here to buy a bar of chocolate which awards the gold award last year. In fact, I am an enthusiastic fan of chocolates and have been tasted many kinds of coco flavors. This chocolate is special but not good enough. It cannot hold a candle to my favorite chocolate —Amedei Porcelana
