Avoca Chocolates is East York's premier spot for specialty chocolates. Avoca, with its name coming from the Irish Gaelic word for "sweet" or "sweet valley," is hoping to give back to the community by making everyone's day a little more special. Avoca's handmade treats transcend the quality of a store-bought chocolate and it doesn't stop there. With in-house ice cream and a hot chocolate that tastes like it was poured directly from a chocolate fountain, Avoca knows how to make all our chocolatey dreams come true. The Parisian-inspired interior is decorated in gold furnishings and striped walls, reminiscent of an upscale French bakery. Once you walk in, you'll be met by a couple of the warm and friendly staff, who are more than happy to help you build a box of truffles or simply point out some of the sweet treats they've been making that day.
