Purdys Chocolatier

Glen was so friendly to my kids. They wanted ice cream flavours that weren't available but he did ice cream bars for them with chocolate dip and sprinkles that were just the right price point for me. Kudos for your cheerfulness and great service, Glen!

Stopped by for some shopping and chocolates while in Vancouver...one of the local favorites is Purdys Chocolatier. Nice variety of chocolate and and plush mascot. Cute. couldn't resist picking up some goodies while friends enjoyed the hand dipped chocolate ice creams. Will come back next time in town.

long time customer for purdys no sugar added bars. just bought some more and discovered the bars have gone from 50 g to 40 g bars . 20 percent less

shame on you purdys
you have lost a customer

This is the See's Candy of . Their chocolate is so rich and delicious. Ice cream is excellent for your taste buds too. They have enough locations in the western part of Canada and some in the eastern part, Ontario. Bought some for home, and they were all a hit at my work, family and friends. Try it, you'll love it !

Have you heard of ruby chocolate lately? They are getting trendy for the past few months, and it creates sweet treats with pink coating. The pink color is natural, with no food coloring or fruit flavorings. Purdys Chocolatier, a Vancouver-based chocolatier, recently launched some new confections featuring ruby cocoa beans.

The latest products are Ruby Cherry Almond Bar and Ruby Praline, crafted from 100% sustainable ruby cocoa. Both items are launched Canada-wide on September 13, 2019, the International Chocolate Day. They will be available in all retail stores and online.

I first tried the Ruby Praline, which is made with smooth almond praline, coated with a ruby cocoa shell. It is creamy, with a hint of saltiness from the almond praline. Although there is a good amount of almond puree in the chocolate, the saltiness overpowers the natural tart, fruity flavor from the ruby coating.

Compared to the Ruby Praline, I enjoy the Ruby Cherry Almond Bar more. The tartness of the ruby chocolate is highlighted with the addition of cherries. The roasted almond also adds texture to the chocolate bar. As I mentioned before, ruby chocolate is not sweet, so I really love this new creation.

*** Overall Impression ***

It has been a while since I last tried treats from Purdys Chocolatier. And this time, the addition of the Ruby Chocolates surprises me. Overall, it is a nice addition, and I really enjoy the Ruby Cherry Almond Bar. But if you like that saltiness in your chocolate (imagine like peanut butter), then Ruby Praline is the way to go!

Taste: 4/5 * Quality-Price: 4/5

I went here for a quick icecream fix on Wednesday and I ordered Raspberry Cheesecake ($3.95 in a cup) icecream for a single scoop. I enjoyed the taste if it. I didn't have any problem until something crunchy in the ice cream. I didn't like the icy texture of freezer burn and I was almost done eating it.

Staff was friendly though.

Fun Canadian chocolate chain to visit. Love the purple everywhere, the huge selection, and multiple price points including deals on buying 3 bars.

Kids really liked the burnt caramel white chocolate bar, and I was happy to find a dark chocolate covered marzipan bar.

Great that the ingredients are responsibly sourced; employees are friendly.

Looking forward to trying more items next time.

Loved chocolate dipped ice cream!! Had three of these during my one week vacation in Vancouver.

We got a waffle cone with green tea ice cream and had them dip it in white chocolate sauce adding rainbow sprinkles
When we first requested this combination the lady was confused but now we ask for it every time.
Today the gentleman working was happy to create our ice cream design for us ice cream
Flavours vary according to the rotation of the ice cream that are in inventory.

Love the new spot....or it's been awhile since I usually shop at the Oakridge one, closer to home, in a bad way lol.

Ground floor, close to food court, corner location to walkway outside to Howe st.

The half white chocolate/half dark bar dipped in nuts can't be beat!
