Soul Chocolate is a delightful chocolate shop and cafe where they make their own chocolate, not to mention a bunch of tasty desserts.  They used to have a much smaller location on Gerrard, but have since moved to an industrial area nearby.

I tried a small chocolate bar and one of the desserts, and both were stellar.

They have a variety of dark chocolate bars made with cocoa from different countries; I went with the Dominican 70%, and it was actually pretty amazing.  It’s about five bucks for a 25 gram bar, which is not cheap, but you know what?  You get what you pay for.  If you compare this to better mass-produced dark chocolate like Lindt, the difference is night and day.  The chocolate here has so much more going on.

I also tried a slice of the chocolate pie, which might have the most intense chocolate flavour of any dessert I’ve ever had; it’s great.  It’s ultra rich and fudgy, with an in-your-face dark chocolate / coffee flavour that’s really satisfying.   The crust is made with sourdough, and it’s got a mild tang that works nicely with the deep chocolatiness.  It’s a delicious dessert.
