The Chocolate Lab — Local services in Calgary

Let me start by saying that I am certified in both chocolatiering & mastering chocolate flavor. I have enjoyed chocolates from around the world both from the comfort of my own home and during my travels. I am passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to chocolate and I can confidently say The Chocolate Lab’s bonbons are some of the best I’ve EVER experienced.

The chocolates are really special, not only are they beautiful they all have different unique tastes. My favourite is the lycée one. I mostly bought the box to share with my friends and they also loved it. I wouldn't go there everyday, but once in a while for a treat because they're...

Really great chocolates and really reasonably priced especially considering the quality. Only negative comment pertains to customer service. If a customer asks what time the store closes, just say the time. That's it nothing else is necessary. Saying something like:"the sign says 7 o clock" could be misconstrued as rude. Especially considering in the case of my 12 year old daughter asking when we are at the back of the store and the sign is at the front of the store. But the when the person working at the store says it with a certain tone and everyone in the store at the time looks at each other like "what's up with this guy?"we interpreted that transaction as rude. Other than that the guy was courteous thus a 4...
