About

État de Choc specializes in the precise craft of bean-to-bar chocolate production, emphasizing the distinct terroir of various cacao origins. The facility functions as both a laboratory and a boutique, where raw cacao beans undergo meticulous roasting, winnowing, and stone grinding. The resulting bars and confections highlight the natural complexity of the cacao fruit, often incorporating unconventional infusions and technical precision. Patrons encounter a wide array of single-origin chocolates that prioritize purity and flavor clarity over processed additives. The space showcases the industrial elegance of cocoa processing equipment alongside finished products ready for retail. Every item manufactured here adheres to rigorous standards of chocolate making that respect the biological integrity of the bean. This focused approach ensures that each offering provides a transparent connection between the agricultural source and the final consumer experience.

Lovely lovely spot.

I love the selection of flavours & quality of chocolate here. The banane chocolate was unique (although I did not like it, my family raved about it). Other wacky flavours include durian & soymilk.

The staff are super friendly & willing to help. I was honestly so impressed with their customer service.

The prices here are definitely on the premium side, so definitely a good spot for gift hunting. I spent a solid $400 during my one visit (worth it & will be back!).

Fantastic chocolate shop! État de choc has a wonderful selection of artisanal bars. I highly recommend picking up the Soma Crazy 88 dark chocolate tablet if you love intense, complex flavors. The shop is beautiful, & the staff is very helpful. A must-visit in Montreal. Also there are in-house chocolates to die for, like the crunchy caramel if you are looking for a sweeter treat but watch out it's sooo good you might not be able to stop eating it.

Très grande variété de chocolats provenant de partout, avec de magnifiques emballages. Service excellent; la jeune femme a pris le temps de m'expliquer & de me présenter les différents fabricnats. Un endroit incontournable si vous aimez le chocolat

Chocolate heaven! If you love chocolate as much as we do, État de choc is THE place to visit in Montréal. There is an embarrassment of chocolate riches in this city, but if you're looking for some of the best bar chocolate, start running. There are numerous local, Canadian artisans, including État de choc's own line (which is excellent!), as well as many international makers. All small batch, hand crafted with the utmost care & exceptional ingredients. They also have hot cocoa mixes & you can even create your own gift box of bars. The customer service is top notch as lovely Ella helped us navigate the store & the seemingly endless options. She was so knowledgeable & kind, providing many suggestions as she's tried almost all of the chocolate in the store. She's got the best job in the world! It was an exercise in self-control for us not to buy every bar, but a great excuse for us to stop by again. Highly recommend experiencing their beautiful store, it is a truly wonderful & experience! We can't wait to try more of their chocolate!🫶🏽🍫

Assez ordinaire de la part de la vendeuse (celle qui est toujours là & qui devrait se pratiquer un peu plus côté sociabilité) de nous dire qu'elle ne comprend pas le chinois car elle ne comprenait pas ce que ma mère asiatique demandait (elle voulait simplement avoir plus de renseignement sur un des chocolats & elle a demandé ceci en anglais). Je m'y attendais pas d'entendre cette commentaire raciste à une boutique de chocolat haute gamme. Les chocolats sont excellents, mais le service rendu nous a laissé un goût extrêmement amer.

Comme on dit en anglais:'do better'. À une boutique d'haute gamme, il devrait avoir une service d'haute gamme en conséquence & pas des commentaires racistes.
P.S. Si un client achète un bar de chocolat, vous le mettez dans un sac, aucune question. Si cinq personnes achètent chacune un chocolat, elles repartent chacune avec leur sac - alors pourquoi charger 1 $ par sac quand une seule personne en achète plusieurs pour les offrir aux autres comme cadeau? De 1, c'est de la bonne publicité pour vous. & de 2, ça ne fait aucun sens financièrement de facturer $1 pour un petit sac en papier & ça enlève au côté « haut de gamme ». Do better.

Incredible curated selection of chocolate bars, & I was very pleased to see that they're quite reasonably priced compared to other places.
