Our Chocolate Boutique
Sweet Lollapalooza is a small, privately owned and operated chocolate and confection boutique. The company was founded in 2003 with one goal – to produce a small line of superior, fresh products by hand, using only the very best ingredients.
At Sweet Lollapalooza, we make similar decisions that a good chef will make in our process to create new products, – pairing the right chocolate, from the right region with the right blend of flavours and textures. Our chocolatier, Brett Roy, draws from his more than 20 years of chocolate and culinary experiences at some of the finest establishments in several countries to create unique and memorable combinations.
Our chocolate boutique in Commerce Place reflects our chocolate philosophy of creating something beautiful, contemporary and honest. While most chocolatiers hide their work, Sweet Lollapalooza engages its customers in the whole production process. Customers visiting the boutique will see the craftsman at work making small batches of chocolates and confections behind a wall of glass, which keeps the chocolate rooms at various precise temperatures, but still lets the intoxicating chocolate aromas waft out to the delight of chocoholics.
Freshness is at the core of our philosophy. Our rich and silky texture is distinct because we use fresh cream and butter.
Quick chocolate tidbit.
Contrary to popular misconception, eating lots of chocolate does not raise blood cholesterol levels. Chocolate contains stearic acid, which is a neutral fat that does not raise bad cholesterol (LDL). Also, the cocoa butter in chocolate contains oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fat. This is the same type of fat found in olive oil that may actually raise good cholesterol (HDL).
