About a week ago, I finally got some time off work … after about 11 days straight! I spent my first full day away from the office with my friend Kate-Lynn. We took a short road trip over to Cobourg. Now, it’s the off-season there, but the weather was still great for a day of photos, walking, parks and antiquing.
One of the cute little shops – which stole both our hearts – was called Harden & Huyse Chocolates, located at 201 Division Street. It’s about a 2 minute walk to the water. Inside they offer a variety of chocolates, including Kawartha Dairy icecream. I also tried a few pieces of chocolate ginger. It’s my favourite kind of chocolate (usually I buy it at Laura Secord), and it’s definitely an acquired taste.
I must admit, the shop itself is gorgeous and really welcoming. They have a community board, where people can share info about their businesses and upcoming local shows. Their staff is really friendly, and great at chocolate recommendations. So, if you’re ever passing through on the way to the beach, stop by. It’s well worth it.
Love the writing on the chalkboard.
It’s super cute, eh?! I actually love that quote and it worked perfectly in the shop.
Love the photos! I love chocolate gingers too! Sounds like a great discovery!
Gingers are best 🙂 I am sure we can agree!
Congrats on getting some much deserved time off and those chocolates look lovely. The quote
on the last photo is very fitting. As always, lovely photos.
Thank you! A quote to live by … maybe? 😛
It looks like a delightful place to visit Emily… i am putting on weight just looking into that display case… good presentation….peter:)
thanks peter! I feel like any place with fine chocolate is worth visiting.
An attractive photo series. Who could resist!
Oh of course! I can never say no to a little bit of chocolate.
