Patrons describe L'affaire est Chocolat as a standout for hot chocolate, with a range of imported chocolates melted into milk and the option to adjust the amount, creating a rich, decadent and creamy cup that many call the best they've had. The European style chocolate and real chocolate origins are highlighted across reviews, and the hot chocolate tasting flight is seen as a must try. The menu also features crepes, ice cream and other desserts, with crepes receiving mixed notes while fruits are praised as fresh. Service is consistently described as friendly, courteous and efficient, with attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The space is cozy and charming but small, leading to frequent crowds and limited seating, and queues can form especially during peak times though outdoor seating is available in good weather. Overall, it is highly recommended for chocolate lovers and casual visitors alike, with the caveat that peak times may require patience and that seating and space can be a challenge.
Best hot cocoa with a variety of chocolates available. Great motivation to go out in the cold. The place is clean. The staff is courteous & efficient. In the summer, they have a nice seating area outside. Highly recommend & will definitely continue being a repeat customer.
Had the hot chocolate tasting flight, all European style. This was the most luxurious hot chocolate experience! The hot chocolate was super creamy & decadent! This is a must try experience!
Had the banana crepe & the brownie plate with the hot chocolate & cappuccino. Everything was tasteful. The space is cozy & inviting. worth trying for sure.
With so many cafes in Montreal with virtually identical offerings - I was delighted to find this special cafe with it's feature offering of a variety of imported chocolate pellets from around the world. I really appreciate the vast variety of chocolate types as well as the detail they put in to help identify the cocoa %. The seating is limited, after I took the last table there was a queue of people that could not sit & it was too cold to enjoy the beverages outside. So might be best to go during non-peak times if possible. The wall is lined up with some cute chocolate figures but most of these goods are quite overpriced. I have not tried the food here. Service was alright, not bad but not outstanding either.
This is easily my favorite coffee shop in all of Montreal. Amazing hot chocolate, super cozy atmosphere, & great service. I love coming here, & recommend it to all my friends whenever they come visit!
Frankly a great place to have hot chocolate, there's a lot of varieties of it, is small but the quality of the chocolate is 100% worth it. The atmosphere is really calm, & their customer service is great! ✨
