Chocolats Favoris

(94)

Sherbrooke

Review Summary

Chocolats Favoris is described as a beloved Sherbrooke ice cream spot with a wide range of rich chocolate dips and customizable options like the Blitz, a cozy atmosphere, and generally high quality, though some find prices steep and portions occasionally small; seating inside is limited, there is a terrace outside, and ample parking means many eat in the car when the weather turns cold or rainy, while the staff are usually friendly and respectful but one review raises a health concern about a cashier not washing hands after a transaction, which led to a messy cone; the menu offers a large selection of chocolate and confections as well as frozen treats, which many appreciate for indulgence and variety, though a few mentions stock issues like no pistachio or no Easter blitz materials and some feel the value is not ideal compared to other options in town.View restaurant profile

Chocolats Andrée

(6)

Chocolaterie

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Chocolats Andrée as having fallen from the high standard it once held when it was on Avenue du Parc, where chocolate was handmade and part of a tradition carried by three generations. Quality is said to have declined year after year, and nostalgia colors these impressions. A box of cherry chocolates is cited where the syrup tastes off, some pieces recrystallized, others pale or with bases damaged, and overall flavor not what it used to be. Given the prices, many find the experience disappointing and do not recommend visiting, even though some acknowledge that certain products remain of good quality while others are perceived as pricey.View restaurant profile
