Kin+Pod Chocolate, Ice Cream, and Coffee — Restaurant in Vernon

Edit: I finally returned 18 months later.

The place has greatly expanded with new products and an awesome Pacman machine. The Pacman game alone is a draw.

The coffee toffee ice cream cost $11. That may price people out, but it is high quality and supporting local. It tasted really good.

I am glad I came back.

Original: Kin Pod Chocolate was my 147th eatery in Vernon on my quest to eat at every eatery in Vernon.

The selection was quite limited as they are in between seasons. The employee said I just happened to time my visit in between seasons.

There was a bag of chocolate lollipop things or a chocolate bar as the only food options.

I paid just under $6 for the ethically produced chocolate bar.

The chocolate bar was small, but was produced in such a way that it made me feel great about myself and it tasted pretty good.

I'll try to come around Christmas time and perhaps give this place a re-review.

For now, however, only one food option for a solo visitor leaves something to be desired for a fair trade chocolate enthusiast such as myself.

Stumbling distance from a few hotels in the area but you should be still be able to drive responsibly after visiting.

If you have any amount of self respect (or have even the slightest appreciation for good quality treats) do yourself a favour and make the time.

Came to grab ice cream here since it had good ratings on google. It’s a cute shop. However looking at their packaged hot chocolate mix - I was not impressed with it. You can see the mix had clumps meaning they didn’t sift it properly before packaging it. Little things like these matter since it tells me how they operate.

I looked at their ice cream selection and asked to taste test chocolate and the staff said they don’t have it. Okay if you don’t have that why are you displaying it out on the case? Perhaps you should indicate on the case that it’s sold out. My boyfriend asked a simple question “what’s your best seller?”. Staff responded “we don’t have one.”. When I heard that I was quite surprised and was not impressed yet again. Finally my boyfriend ordered a random flavour ice cream and we both tried it and it was not good as what the...
