Steps from Jasper, Socola Chocolatier handcrafts artisanal confections with modern flavors and a fantastic taste of fun. Delicately daring, absolutely delightful.

A few of the best sellers include: Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee, Chocolate Smoked Sea Salt and Secret Breakfast. Stop by and sample the unique flavors. “Secret Breakfast is their bourbon based flavor with corn flakes in it. Soooo creamy…and so delicious. The flavor is really unique but addicting. Don’t ask questions, just GET IT.” – Regina O., Yelp
