Mink Chocolates (Vancouver)
Mink Chocolates has a cafe in Vancouver (863 Hastings Street West, Vancouver BC, Canada). By chance I passed the cafe one late evening and decided to visit the cafe the next morning. I was very much surprized by the creative chocolate products Mink is producing: fine chocolate bars (solid and filled), bon bons, and gift boxes. They are using chocolate from Callebaut (Belgium) for making their products. In the cafe you can also buy high quality coffee.
What about a dark chocolate bar filled with lime in white chocolate ganache? Or chocolate filled with burnt caramel with salt and rosemary? (The flavor of this one is fantastic!)
My visit opened a new world of flavor combinations. I absolutely recommend a visit to Mink Chocolate Cafe if you happen to be in Vancouver!
