I thought the store was beautiful and the service excellent. I only purchased one cupcake as a treat for myself. The packaging was very sturdy (and if it was a gift, I would have appreciated the protection for the cupcake but for me, it was a bit much and a little stiff to open without risking my cupcake getting touched by the box in the process). The cupcake itself was a bit of a disappointment. And a fellow customer gushing to me that the last one she had was the best cupcake she had ever eaten might have set me up a bit more. It was a passionfruit frosting on a chocolate base. The frosting was like eating slightly coloured butter. Decadent, fatty, and hard, but I would have preferred a slightly softer frosting with a little give. I did try some right after it was taken out of the fridge but ate most of it after it had been sitting in my warm car for over two hours and it was still hard. The passionfruit flavour was there, but very subtle. If you call something passionfruit, it should be quite noticable if not intense. I've had an intense passionfruit higher-end chocolate before and the two flavours work well even when they are both intense. The cupcake itself was very crumbly and was falling apart into crumbs (so ultimately it felt dry while eating it). Actually, it was kind of difficult to eat because the frosting was so hard and the cake was so crumbly and I did have to resort to eating it with a fork. I still ate it though. I think it might have been a bad day for them, because looking at some of the photos, the frosting looks a lot creamier. But it was almost $5 and there are rave reviews here, so expectations were high. Felt like flavour was sacrificed for looks. The little square of chocolate decorating the top was wonderfully thin but I think it just tasted of chocolate and not passionfruit. I'm posting this review to temper other people's expectations. I really enjoyed the store though, and I can imagine the tourists loving the air conditioning which was great on a warm day. I would come back and try their chocolates. And I...
   Read moreI am sorry for walking into âGirls night outâ event as I had no idea you are having this special event going on. My wife simply asked me to get some chocolate for her because my wife is extremely tired and looking after my 2 years old child.
Not only I did not get to buy some chocolate for my wife, your staff spoke very rudely without explanation âyou have to leave, you have to go now.â While forcefully pushing me out the front door as if I had done something terribly wrong. As she didnât explain about the event and push me out, I said, wait but can I buy some chocolates for my wife. She said, âno! Where is your wife? If she wants chocolate, she can come herself.â I said, sheâs taking care of our kid at home. She immediately replied âThen, you go home and take care of the kid and tell your wife to come here herself.â *door shut after pushing me all the way out of the shop.
I am deeply regret that my wife loves your chocolate. For me, I will never ever step a single foot in your shop again. Kicking me out without explanation and spoke to me with full assumption about my family life. Please please please, do not judge people based on what you see.
As a person living in Steveston Village, I am disappointed to have experienced something like this in such a wonderful community. Thank you, and sorry again for being a man trying to buy a chocolate for his tired wife at...
   Read moreSinfully The Best Chocolate Shop, nestled in one of Steveston's charming Victorian-style buildings, may seem simple on the outside, but step inside, and you'll be greeted with an array of chocolate and cupcake delights. This time, we sampled their fine handmade chocolates, and they were fantastic. The staff's passion for their craft really shines throughâthey patiently explain how each piece is made, making the experience even more enjoyable. It's truly a gem in the world of chocolate, and arguably the best chocolate shop in Steveston. A must-visit when you're in the area! My personal favorites were the pistachio chocolate and a unique mint syrup chocolate with a hint of alcohol. While these might not be the best-tasting chocolates Iâve ever had, the experience definitely makes the visit worth it. The price is reasonable, and it would make a great treat after lunch. We took home a few things we found interesting to try and will definitely come back next time when in the area. Given how much space they have, I would have loved if they had drinks to best pair with my sweet treats as itâs a beautiful spot to take a pause from strolling beautiful Steveston. Just...
