Best of Vancouver: Congratulations to Beta5 Chocolates!

On Valentine’s Day we decided to launch a new Best of Vancouver search – this time on the hunt for the city’s best chocolate shops. You nominated your favourites, and we compiled a list of the top twelve. Now all the votes have been counted, and we can tell you that the Best of Vancouver honours go to Beta5 Chocolates!

Beta5 Wins Best of Vancouver Honours

best of vancouver chocolateBeta5 gets its name from the form-5 beta crystal, which is the most stable form of cocoa butter crystallization. We’re not sure what that means, exactly, but we know it’s delicious. This modern chocolate and pastry shop can be found in a warehouse on Industrial Avenue. Their chocolate has received national and international recognition, with innovative flavours like imperial stout, caramelized banana, earl grey and nikka whiskey. They also offer “pebbles”, caramels and a variety of chocolate bars, as well as delicious pastries. They were the clear winners in our Best of Vancouver voting, with 22% of you casting your ballots in their favour.

Runners-Up

Two other fabulous Vancouver chocolate shops were tied for second place. Cocoa Nymph and Purdy’s Chocolatier each received 12% of the votes in our Best of Vancouver poll.

Cocoa Nymph on West 10th carries chocolates, chocolate bars and confections. They also offer workshops, where you can learn about chocolate and try truffle-making for yourself.

Here in Vancouver, Purdy’s requires no introduction. With more than 20 locations around the Lower Mainland, they’ve been a local staple since Richard Carmon Purdy opened his first chocolate shop on Robson Street in 1907.
