Purdys Chocolatier

Firstly, obviously Purdy’s chocolates are amazing — so, I’ll just get that out of the way.
I went in yesterday to get a box of chocolate as a gift and myself and Jazz (I think that’s her name, not sure) had a miscommunication regarding sizes and pricing. I got home and realized I the box I got wasn’t right so I called back and Jazz (again, not sure the name but she is the supervisor or manager) was so sweet and told me I could come in and get the correct size box.
I went in today and she was so friendly and made the experience really pleasant. She fixed everything for me and made my day. Thank you :)

I think this is the right location but Jazz is just awesome!
I’ve been to Purdy’s in Toronto to pick up treats for friends (they love the Hedgehogs and the Sweet Georgia Browns) but I’ve never sampled their solo chocolates in the display cases.
Jazz helped with some selections that I was totally happy with (the himalayan caramel, and a vanilla caramel, mini pecan caramel). I just wished I bought more! Next time I’m Vancouver again I’ll be sure to visit.
Thanks!

Good chocolates. Local to Vancouver. Himalayan pink salt chocolates are nice for a salt chocolate. The chili chocolates are also nice for a spicy. I would say Purdy’s is better than Godiva. They defiantly have a more interesting selection of flavors.

This Purdy’s is a bit out of my way for me, however, when I’m in the area I’m satisfied even though this is a small store. They carry my favorite sugar free dark chocolate mint bars which are a guilt free treat for me when I need that chocolate hit.

seriously whats not to like about sweets and chocolates. Best chocolate bar is mint chocate bar adn best ice cream is dipped in chocolate and covered with nuts. Also the hedgehogs are amazing too. Heck everything is good here. It would only be better if the prices were lower but you pay for what you get.

Ok, so it’s one thing to get out of the doghouse with some flowers and a box a chocolates, but it is quite another to come swooping in as a knight in shining armour presenting the finest of prizes, the delicacy of Purdy’s chocolate.
But in all super seriousness, anything with pink Himalayan rock salt will make you wonder what was wrong with all the other food you put in your mouth.

Still my fave. chain to buy chocolates in Vancouver and it’s been a Vancouver staple since 1907. It might not be the most decadent compared to so many, but you really can’t go wrong with anything here. Sadly, the staff here are «bitter» older ladies of Sogra who should learn to mellow out like one of their yummy marshmallow eggs; hence the measly three star rating. The chocolates themselves are closer to a five star, especially anything with milk, nuts of any kind or caramel. I put this on my Van list as this is where I go when bringing authentic chocolates to sentimental Vancouverites living in the US; it’s also where I go to bring any chocolates over the country. So move over-​you-​know-​who-​you-​are shops!
My fave remains the chocolate pb anything. The mint melties are so good, and so is everything but the fruit creams, (blah) mind you.
Right now with Easter approaching, of course there are the «cream eggs» and mini eggs, too. And what about the mac nut chocolates? Almost as good as Hawaiian Host, but not quite.
The lady promised me that they wouldn’t run out of mini chocolate eggs, either, which is always a grave concern this time of year.
Unfortunately, it only gets three stars, as whenever I make a purchase, the women working here are never too friendly, and are reluctant to give you a sample of anything. Umm, I don’t exactly look like a homeless person begging for candy. In fact, I am a responsible, chocolate buying, chocolate loving, citizen. It doesn’t make me want to rush to return, and given the nature of the products, that’s probably a good thing. :)

What does one say about Purdy’s Chocolates. Scrumptious… As I work in the area I come here when I want to pick up a little fix or a small gift for someone or just end up wandering in as I am walking by. None the less the chocolate is always good and is always consumed pretty quick.
Besides for the great chocolate the staff is also quite friendly and willing to help.
Purdy’s is a good chocolate experience in the chocolate world.

Vanilla milk chocolate carmels are amazing. The sea salt carmels and dark chocolate one are also pretty good.
If you buy a bag of mixed caramels it is cheaper than buying the caramels behind the counter (cost by weight). You will get some other flavors mixed in the bag — cherry, almond. I dig the surprise.

It’s kind of crazy but i have been coming to Purdy’s for my chocolate fix forever. I know there are better places out there but like there big billboard adds say. «Everyone has a favourite». Right now it’s the Caramel covered in milk chocolate and dusted with Himalayan sea salt. It used to be peppermint paddy, or their peanut butter squares.
I also enjoy their ice cream bars covered in nuts. So good. Service is always excellent.

yeah whatever to all you food snobs… it’s not 91% dark with virgin cocoa butter, sweetened with raw golden sugar from the sugarcane grown in the balmy south pasific air, but hey who cares? It does the job.
Maybe I’m a bit partial to the stuff since I associate it with the annual easter factory tour from my childhood or the or the search for the coconut cluster in the mix boxed leaving lots of half eatens for my sis… ah the memories
if you like mint you can’t do too bad with the mint melties — dark chocolate.
tiger butter which I recently found out is white chocolate and peanut butter, the same stuff that in the peanut butter daisy. I’m secure enought in my manhood to say I eat the daisy.
Coconut cluster are more nostalgic than good these days. The ones at Chocolate Arts on 4^th are better, but I haven’t been there in a while.
Jen loves the ice cream dipped in dark chocolate with nuts. I never leave without and arm full of nutty mac white, sweet geogia browns (like a turtle on crack) and toffee.

This place knows all about Christmas. It’s so easy to walk into Purdy’s and find easy-​to-​select gifts that you know the person’s going to love. It’s delicious chocolate — how can you go wrong?
The other thing I love about Purdy’s is that they always have chocolate covered ginger, in dark and milk chocolate. I have a sweet tooth on my list and this is his favourite and I know I can always get it here.
But there’s more … they have everything pre-​giftwrapped in stylish purple paper with a nice ribbon and off give you a contrasting red gift card with your purchase!

There is very little that can go wrong when chocolate is involved… and Purdy’s never disappoints!
This is my neighborhood location and is always staffed with the most lovely chocolate lovers…
My favorite time of year at Purdy’s is Easter… you haven’t lived until you have experienced a Purdy’s Chocolate Easter cream egg… delicious! I am also a big fan of the Sweet Georgia Browns and the Hedge Hoggs…
