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!).

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!🫶🏽🍫

I visited the shop today to purchase some chocolate & I was served by a very patient employee who was able to answer all my questions & more. I went in there searching for a gift & she took the time to explain to me all the different options from all the different regions.

As well as purchasing a gift I also opted to buy some chocolate for myself & I can say that it did not disappoint.

Definitely recommend to any chocolate
connoisseur &/or amateur!
