You don't need to be a kid to fall in love with this outwardly unassuming, yet magical store! With a vast selection of British candies, practically endless kinds of top quality Belgian chocolates, and staff just as sweet as the confections they sell, you might have just as hard a time leaving this place as I did!

If you want really good tasting chocolate get it at the Nutty Chocolatier. I've only been to the Beaches location, but I have their gift boxes delivered to me in Gatineau every year for Christmas gifts. The chocolate is so tasty. One reviewer complained that was they thought it had a waxy taste, but I found it had a very creamy taste. Like I said, I get it every every year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Typically visit the location in Huntsville, but there are lots of goodies to choose from here. I feel like the Huntsville location has a better variety though, especially when it comes to hot drinks. I remember trying a strawberry flavoured hot chocolate that I did not see offered here which was a shame. But the Belgian chocolate, huge variety of flavours of fudge certainly didn't have me complaining! Being on Queen street is the only hurdle, finding parking (which is typically paid) is always a chore, but at least the area has some nice site seeing.

As soon as I walked in the door, I was not greeted by any of the staff members. They refused to acknowledge that I was even a customer inside the store. Disappointed about the lack of selection of British goods, despite what people had said, Also some items were ridiculously overpriced like the tiny bag of Cadbury milk buttons was over 12 dollars something that’s 2 pounds in the UK. I I get that these products have to be shipped here from the UK but that’s price extortion. Safe to say I’ll be going to Bulk mine on Young St instead

This was the worst ice cream we have ever had. The place advertised in their window display kiddies size for $3.50 but when we asked the server she looked at us like what are we talking about and gave us regular small size for $4.50. It was for our 2yo daughter, she ordered strawberry flavor and it was so gross. I felt so bad for her. I also bought some box of chocolates, they were ok but won’t be coming back. Service was u pleasant.

Went in for vanilla fudge. The servers were teenagers. I asked for a tiny sample and was met with a curt “ no” I asked why and the retort was “ we don’t do that” a simple sorry we are unable would have sufficed. I then asked for a small portion which was almost the size of two dominoes end to end but not quite. This was $4.08 . I paid and left a tip. Ate the fudge after dinner when it was refrigerated because it was mushy almost after it was bought. Honestly it wasn’t very good at all. My late mums fudge was the best. Have been looking everywhere to no avail. Sorry but servers with attitude just won’t encourage customers to return.

Yum, yum! The ice cream is great, and the toffees are stellar! Sale on toffees,: 5.99 for a big bag of 'em. TJ made my shopping experience simply fun! We need more staff like her on the front lines!

They sell so called “Belgian” chocolates for as much as they are highly priced in Europe. We purchased a box. I’ve been to Belgium and have purchased chocolates from there. This stores “Belgian” chocolates aren’t the real deal. I assume they think people will not know the difference because they probably haven’t had real Belgian chocolates. Watch out for this scam.

I enjoy coming here. I get my fix of Flake and Yorkie bars here. Since it is summer they also sell ice cream and gelato cones. The owners is delightful and helpful. I also enjoy meeting the other clients here. This is your typical neighbor hood chocolate shop with better than average treats at a more than fair price!

Walked into this store and wasn't greeted by the rude heavy set employee standing there. She completely ignored us and literally rolled her eyes and expressed annoyance when I asked for ice cream service. I said never mind because a place like this doesn't deserve my business and got more attitude on my way out. This shop deserves ZERO stars. Save your money or go somewhere else. Horrible customer service experience it's actually laughable places like this stay in business.

The store is lovely, but so many of the British products they carry are expired. I really want to be able to buy British food and candy, etc, but they really need to find a better way to get stuff that's not about to go off!

The spray-painted chocolates I had bought, as gifts, were oddly stale Super sucky. I had bought 3 boxes (which avg at $12-13 for a box of 6). Finding out from trying a few from my own box that it was stale was super embarrassing. I obviously wouldn't have gifted them out. Ask when the chocolates were made before ordering. It's a huge quality bummer when they say the chocolate is made in house too, as they clearly dont chuck the ones that have been sitting for a while.

I've been coming here for years - at least 12. I've never had a problem. The sales staff have never fawned over me or been rude. Transactions are always easy, I love the variety and being able to stroll down the street and pick up some scones. Around Christmas I always buy a bunch of those "Celebration" rounds of chocolates and everyone goes BANANAs for them. I felt compelled to write this review as I read some of the other reviews - mainly pertaining to the mask issue. It's easy - wear your mask (no one believes your medical exemption because it's fake) At any rate, I'll keep coming here, I'll keep supporting local

If you looove gourmet chocolate, sweets, and gelato, Nutty Chocolatier might become your next fav spot in town! Definitely gotta stop by for a gelato (or ice cream - they sell these in the back) or individual chocolates whenever you visit The Beaches. The store is quite large and as soon as you enter the warm chocolate aroma hits you and you feel like Charlie Bucket. They sell gelato (small cup = $3.50, medium and large cup sizes also available) right at the front, but I noticed today that many of their flavors are fruit-based (are they actually sorbets?) rather than creamier, nutty varieties (pistachio, etc), which I prefer more. The color of the gelato choices also look questionable, to be honest - I was told that neon gelatos are a no-no. Better head across the street and east a few blocks to Ed's Real Scoop for a better scoop experience. Perfect place for gifts! Many pre-packaged chocolates. We bought father's day gifts here today - chocolates shaped like fishing supplies arranged in a fake fishing kit :) Lost 1 star for being kind of expensive. Not ridiculous, but think gift price range.

I was passing the store the first day it opened , so I went in and introduced myself to the young sales lady . Told her I would be her best customer ! Most every day after that , my friend Dorothy and I would work out and then drop in for a couple pieces of chocolate before strolling the boardwalk . One Easter just after 911, my son and I decided to fly to Halifax to visit my sister so we bought 2 LARGE chocolate bunnies for her young daughters . When we got to the airport and started to go through security bells went off and red lights flashed and around 20 police surrounded us GUNS DRAWN . After a few minutes I remembered the owner telling me there were certificates for great prizes inside some of the bunnies . The Police X-rayed the bunnies and then let us go . Wished us a great trip!

Way to lose a customer over $2. Got some candy. Opened the box and it smelled like soap. The kid said it tasted ok at first and then the soap taste kicked in and ruined the day. They won't take it back. A real business stands behind their product. Not this one.

Queen East is contributing to a newly formed addiction to chocolate. I swear, first Dufflet and now the Nutty Chocolatier! I never used to even like chocolate! Ugh! The smell from this store is absolutely delish, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Never judge a book by its cover, this is more than just a chocolate store. They sell candy, ice cream, premium and exotic chocolates, even love token chocolate (chocolate body paint anyone?). So many cute things in this store, where do I begin? First off, anyone other than my family obsessed with Pawn Cocktail chips? ONLY found at Mark and Spencers!! Well look no further because they have pawn cocktail chips here! 5 small bags for $5. Pricey, but hard to find! They sell homemade licorice.. Not just the strawberry and nasty black ones, but cool flavours, like root beer! A pack of different flavours sell for $4.99. Body paint mentioned above, a little kinky, but hey you know if they sell it at a chocolate store the quality must be some what good. This store is just the epitome of awesome! It really is...

Nutty Chocolatier is an A-OK chocolate shoppe. When I walked in I can smell the nice aroma of fudges and chocolate in the air........ They carries a lot of the packaged chocolate f different brands, candies and sweets... and for your diabetes' friends may I said the perfect gift of sugarless chocolate. BTW, sugarless does not mean that they don't have calories The deco of Nutty Chocolatier are more traditional/down to earth.. remind me of a Carnival inside of a circus tent.. maybe a clown might pop out and play a joke on me! :P I think kids or the young at heart does enjoy the atmosphere of Nutty Chocolatier over the more sophisticated atmosphere of some European chocolate store.. Wish they serves hot chocolate for the cold winter evening I was there..

I have left the store four separate times without purchasing anything so far this summer because every time I walk in it seems like a huge nuisance for me to be there. I don't like to complain, but when I walk in and employees look directly at me and don't engage it certainly doesn't make me want to spend my money there.

This place is everything the Tutti Frutti at Yonge and Carlton is not. Want an all round good candy store? Got it! Want a British specialty candy and chocolate selection? Check! Want a good choice of real black licorice? Right here! Want fudge, ice cream and fresh popcorn? Step right up! Want a store with helpful staff and a nice vibe? This here is your place. Enjoy!

****THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL PARENTS**** Do not walk by the Nutty Chocolatier without expecting your kids to go bananas over the fudge in the window! This place is lined with fresh made fudge, toffee, old school British chocolate bars and every other cocoa you can imagine under one roof. Great selection, and they aren't scared to provide samples to the customers which is amazing! They have an abundance of all other candies and goodies galore! It's like being in an episode of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory!

I love how this store carries lots of British products, from Cadbury chocolates to Cream of Tomato soup from Marks and Spencers. Coming to this store is almost like stepping onto the set of Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory with knickknack treats, lunch boxes with the London Tower imprinted on it, tea-sets, and of course, shortbread biscuits from the highlands of Scotland. My mom loves coming here for their treats that are sugar-free (great for the diabetics) and I love coming here for their ice-cream (in the hot summer that is). The last time I popped into the store, I wanted to look at some gift baskets filled with English treats however they were quite pricey. I saw one for upwards of 100 and that was filled with cookies and jams...nothing special in my mind, but perhaps someone would pay a premium for Made in England? Anyone walking along this stretch of Queen Street East should pop by this candy/chocolate store. It is a fun place and the kids will LOVE IT/YOU.

Walking around Queen Street on Sunday afternoon, we were tempted by the smell of cocoa. Nutty Chocolatier is a kids' fantasy - aisles of truffles and fudge counters on the right and traditional gummies, hard candy, and seasonal treats on the left. The selection is amazing. The lady at the counter offered us a sample of their bark and it was delicious! We decided on a chocolate-bar sized piece of milk chocolate bark and a 1/4 inch piece of peanut butter fudge. It cost $9 so prices are quite high. Be forewarned, you'll definitely be tempted and could spend hours in there!

Yelp
This place is amazing. Every time I walk along Queen St East I can't help but go inside here. Usually I end up walking out with some chocolate chip cheesecake fudge. Amaaaazing! It makes a great gift too. They have a lot of candies and chocolates from your childhood and candies with characters like Harry Potter or Spiderman. Cute place!

You know that phrase "I feel like a kid in a candy store"? I believe it originated at the Nutty Chocolatier. Their molded chocolates come in all shapes and sizes for all occasions and fetishes. From chocolate handcuffs to chocolate golf clubs and chocolate First Aid kits, this place has it all - though admittedly, I think to myself who buys those? There are two things (maybe three - we'll see how my rambling goes) that bring me back to The Nutty Chocolatier: 1. British chocolate brands and British crisps Now with 0% wax unlike some of the U.S. brands. If you taste a U.K. Cadbury vs. a U.S. one, you will taste a HUGE difference. Also, if you're a fan of the REAL Turkish Delight (I'm not one but there are some), they have those complete with powdered sugar and all. As for the crisps (hey, lookee here! I'm using their word!) love the flavours they imported: Steak and Onion, Lamb and Mint and my oddly enough favourite, Roast Chicken w/ Lemon and Thyme. 2. Homemade fudge and ice cream What? You want an explanation? Homemade. Fudge. And. Ice. Cream.

The only thing I have against this place is that it moved out of my neighbourhood. It used to be just around the corner on Queen Street West so it's be simple enough to dash around the corner for a quick fix of chocolaty goodness. Now I've got to hop on a Queen car and head east for quite a ways. Well, it now gives me an excuse to venture east of Parliament. The Nutty Chocolatier is a locally run Belgian chocolate-makers that specialize in truffles and smaller chocolates as well as larger fare if need be. For those not into chocolate (and really what is your problem?) there's lots of other items on offer that can satisfy the need for sugar. As well, check out their shelves of other confectionary items including a nook at the back with British fare like salt-water taffy, Flake, and Walker's Crisps. There's also tins of beans if you want, but you'll find the amount of chocolate within to be minimal at best. You're best to approach the counter, point to the truffles you want, and then try to see how far back you get to your house before you crack it open and eat one. My record is River Street.

it feels like this place has been transplanted from some place in orillia to queen street east. it feel very rural or general store like. the walls are wood with red trim (or that could just be what i remember). at the front, while you are melting into this illusion chocolate theme park, you can munch on a bag of popcorn. to be honest i didnt go and check whether it was free or not, but it seemed like it would be. they had one of those old style ones that you see at the movie theatres but smaller. displayed on a table nearby were two large chocolate gift baskets looking pretty lonely like rejected orphans. im sure these were the last of the bunch prepared just before christmas. smartly, they have a part of a wall devoted to greeting cards to accompany your present. indeed many of the chocolate treats youd buy here would be as presents. i photographed chocolates in the shape of drill sets and tools for tradespeople lets say, handcuffs and baton for cops or dominatrixes, medical equipment for health practitioners. walking further along, on a top shelf shielded by a suggestive black gossamer curtain, is the chocolate porn section. here you can choose from an array of chocolate cocks. or to be more specific cockscicles, so i suppose you can give them to someone and say something like "want a sucker?" as i said, great gift ideas. (except where are the vjayjays? cmon you could get a whole bunch of smaller chocolates and put them inside - no bag needed, very environmentally friendly!) alright enough of that. (obviously i need to go and review another sex store). anyhow, to finish off the family, they have an assortment of chips and candies like other local candy devoted stores. what i like most about this store is its accessibility. other stores that sell similar products seem to be more about their elitist recipes specialties (read: soma chocolate makers) and less about the real fun pleasure of life and eating those completely unneeded yet fully decadent treats. its not just called nutty for its nuts.

The girl employee here has made my every experience in this store unpleasant. The first time I went to this store I was very excited as I'd never noticed it and I loved the vibe of the set up of the shop. I arrived about 35 mins before closing and picked out some prepackaged fudge. The employee (girl with short hair and tattoos) told the customers ahead of me that the debit machine was down and she had to go down to reset it. They payed with cash and she disappeared to the back for about 5 mins so assumed she was resetting the system. When she came back up I tried to pay for my stuff and she said "didn't u just hear me say the machine was down?" I told her I had thought she was resetting the machine. She said were only open for 30 more mins I'm not resetting it now. I left empty handed. today I went back hoping to get some gelato I had noticed last time. The same girl was working and when I said the flavour I wanted she told me "oh you don't want that there's not a lot left and it's not going to be good". Needless to say I've never had a good experience with her there and still have yet to buy anything

Hayley D.

Decent selection, prices way inflated. I WAS a regular customer here until I made the mistake of asking the owner for a uk product I was having a hard time finding. She was extremely rude and proceeded to argue with us about said product's existence, repeatedly spewing 'In 16 years nobody has ever asked for that!' Well there's a first for everything. She then proceeded to state there is only one person in Ontario who supplies UK goods (100% not true, I work in food and beverage and deal with many uk suppliers) and that basically if she didn't have it "good luck getting that." When we mentioned other shops where we had seen it, she began to spew hate saying 'that store only sells seconds and expired goods' etc. extremely un-helpful, brash and rude. The irony being 90% of her product is almost always about to expire, and everything on sale is always within minutes of expiring. Another occasion I witnessed this same owner mocking a staff member (a young girl) who was apparently crying and upset somewhere, by telling her other employee "I don't pay her to cry" then proceeded to go on about how she is going to send her home. No consideration for her own employees as well as customers. If you are looking for UK goods at a much more reasonable price with human-style service, check out Empire @ Queen & Broadview. A million times better. In the meantime I suggest the 'owner' read a few customer service manuals...

Very overpriced on all the stock. The American candies are cheaper at Walmart at Gerrard Square and Target at Shoppers World. The British stuff is cheaper at Chocolate Box on Donlands.

Stumbled upon this place while walking with a friend by the Beaches area. I was immediately excited, as I don't encounter gourmet chocolate shops such as this near my area or even extended surroundings. I was quite impressed with the selection of chocolate they had - whether it be belgians, truffles, bark, bars, or fudge - they had it! They also had quite an assortment of other candies and food items near the back of the store. Although there were some delays in communication, I was also appreciative that the store was willing to rush-order a particular item that I planned to give as a gift. One of the staff, or perhaps the owner, was open to even staying a bit after store hours just to ensure I received my product - that is good customer service! Although the Nutty Chocolatier is quite out of my way, I will make sure I return soon.

Yelp
Absolutely love this place! Huge selection of British chocolate and treats in general. The staff is friendly and willing to bend over backwards to fulfill their customer's requests. I recently stopped in here because I could not ignore the box of salt water taffy on display in their window. This salt water taffy was delicious and had some really great flavours. This is a lovely little shop family owned and operated. Keeps me coming back for more whenever I have a craving for British Chocolate! Check it out I guarantee you will not leave empty handed.

Barbara K.

Yelp
I love chocolate. I especially love chocolate fudge. Mind blowing, eye popping triple chocolate fudge. And you can find it in this store. Not to mention the other interesting flavours of fudge. And the wonderful selection of delicious chocolates. They make great gifts, ask my friends and family. But you also cannot leave without buying something for yourself. Yum! A little pricey but certainly worth it. Not that close to home but merits a special trip every now and then. Go for it!

This place is wonderful. It's the best place in Toronto for imported British goods and foods. They have very competitive prices. Their selection of candy is amazing. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I keep going in to "browse" and always come out with candy. Definitely an A+ for The Nutty Chocolatier.

Stumbled on the place when going through The Beaches neighborhood. We weren't in the mood for chocolate but they did have a section for Ice cream and milkshakes in the back. I got the praline pecan ice cream in a milkshake and it was the best milk shake I have ever had. If you like pecans and caramel definitely give it a try!

The pralines and cream ice cream (small scoop for $3.29) was absolutely delicious and a pleasant surprise.

Now I really understand what the expression "kid in a candy store" means, except I wasn't with a kid, I was with an Irishman with a sweet tooth and wanting a taste of home. I used to go to the Nutty Chocolatier all the time in Guelph, but I don't remeber all these foreign treats. They have everything from the proper tea biscuits for teatime to English Kit Kats for break time and chocolate Freddos (I was basically force fed these even after a very full dinner!) for anytime! Go and explore, the staff are knowledgeable but not pushy, so you can linger and discover. They also have fudge, ice cream and gourmet chocolates, if the stuff from across the pond doesn't suit you.

Crazy prices and deceptive labelling. Signs on racks saying "All Soup 3 for $10" but they're actually selected soups on offer.

Shirley B.

Yelp
Woohoo, I love this store or "sweet shop" as we would say in the UK! This place is really amazing. The selection of treats are second to none. They have everything I remembered from my childhood. The hardest thing to do, is to narrow it down to a few choices. And the staff - WOW! They are wonderful and very helpful. My friends in The Beach will be seeing a lot more of me now that I have discovered the Nutty Chocolatier.

The following is an email that I had sent to the head office of the Nutty Chocolatier in Port Perry. My intention was to hopefully receive an apology directly from the Beaches manager. She has apparently refused to do so. How professional. While attending the Beaches Jazz Festival in Toronto on Sunday, my boyfriend and I decided to take a look around your 2179 Queen Street East location. I actually have fond memories about this location as I used to regularly attend the festival in years past and so naturally I was excited to see what they had. Upon arrival we were greeted by an apron wearing employee. We began to browse around and came upon the chocolate initials that sell for $3.99. I quickly picked out my first initial and showed it to my boyfriend. He then swiftly (and lovingly) pulled together all the letters to spell my first name. Admittedly, the last letter fell off of the shelf a few times because it had a lean to it. The relevance of that comment comes shortly. So with the name spelled out, a woman with-out an apron called to us -FROM ACROSS THE STORE- and asked if we were 'playing' with the letters. I replied that my name had been spelled out. Now coming across the store and walking up next to us, she continued to speak in a volume that allowed anyone in the store to hear. She did not ask us politely to not 'play' with the boxes, no however she did go into a little spiel that I was less than impressed with - again a little too loudly. She rudely began explaining that people are always 'playing' with the letters and that sometimes they fall off of the shelf and crack. Well, that was $4 out of her pocket, not corporates but hers. And she can't afford for letters to continue being damaged. THEN on a tangent, she begins to complain about how she is not making money. She gestured to the sales floor and pointed out that she currently had more staff then customers. She THEN offered up the fact that her rent is double because it's assumed she makes lots of money due to her proximity to festivals/concerts. Not to imply that we do not care about her woes but I certainly do not appreciate being admonished for doing something I felt was harmless and certainly not an attempt to ruin inventory. It occurs to me that if it this was in fact a serious issue, as she made it sound, then she was neglectful to not have posted some sort of signage asking patrons to be careful with the precious $4 chocolates. Needless to say I was insulted and angry as I was made to feel as if I were the substance that she scrapes off of the bottom of her shoe. As she strode away like a peacock, my boyfriend and I exchanged confused and disgusted looks. I immediately lost interest in looking through the store any further and I was clearly not going to buy the assortment of truffles I had planned to purchase. Unfortunately I too have worked in retail. Six arduous years. I know people are rude and believe that the customer is always right. I also know when to smile, albeit with clenched teeth and not be offensive when explaining about something within the store. Whomever it was that spoke to us I assume was a manager again because she was with out an apron. She was approximately 5 foot 7 inches tall, had a fair to tanned complexion and had rather frizzy looking dirty blonde hair down past her shoulders. To be completely honest I do not know what to expect from my explanation but really a simple apology from the source certainly would be appreciated. However for the foreseeable future, I will NOT visit the Queen St. location but instead go to the Port Perry shop. It makes sense too because I am from Oshawa. Suffice to say I traveled a fair distance to be scolded like a child.

Great little place to escape from the world. Some of their stuff I found a bit overpriced but it was nice to see a selection of goodies that are hard to find, or just not available in regular stores. I perused through the chocolates, fudge and ice creams before deciding that salt water taffy was really what I wanted and took to munch on while I explored the rest of the area.
