Chocobel - Chocolaterie

I couldn't wait to try this place... I mean to try their chocolate with cheese! Yes you hear it with cheese! They have so many different and unexpected flavor for their chocolate (wintergreen tea, rose petals, fir, maple, etc) and for their truffes for 1.50$ each.
They also have hot chocolate the normal version and the thick one. My friend took the normal one and I can tell you that is really chocolaty and well balanced with the milk, just awesomeness in a glass. It comes with a speculoos cookie.
Cheese chocolate expected to highlight the visit (2$ each). We were kind of disappointed by the fact that they didn't have all the choices available (none of their goat cheese combination like with raspberry), so we tried : 
a) blue cheese and dates -- the flavor blend well better than the one with parmesan, the dates bring a good sweetness to the chocolate, but you have to taste it at the end because the blue cheese flavor is strong and stays like the real one.
b) parmesan and apple cider -- I didn't really taste the apple cider flavor. The parmesan was really present. Not my kind of cheese chocolate though.

We also tasted the chocolate :
a) Caramel with fleur de sel -- The caramel was to die for. Advice : one mouthful.
b) Cherry and Kirsch -- I expected a stronger taste of the alcohol and the cherry. Bofff.

Right : Parmesan with apple cider


Notes :
They also sell chocolate without sugar (which is awesome for diabetes), Chai chocolate, Nougat, Marshmallow and Christmas cards...
They don't really have tables and chairs for customers to enjoy their chocolates on the spot, it is more for to go. They do have a high table with 4 high chairs, but it can't really fit a group of 6 people.
The lady working there was really sweet and helpful --> SERVICE 5/5.
