Avoca

Avoca is a family-owned artisanal chocolate shop that has relocated to a storefront on Broadview Avenue in Riverdale. Known for its handmade, fair trade confections using Belgian Callebaut chocolate, the shop has long been a staple of Toronto's east end for sweet treats. Alongside its signature truffles, chocolate barks, and house-made eggless gelatos and ice creams, this location features expanded menu options including grilled cheese on sourdough and chocolate strawberry cups.

Visitors to the Broadview Avenue storefront can expect a counter-service environment geared toward quick indulgence or takeaway treats. Situated just minutes from Riverdale Park East, the shop offers a practical stop to pick up a ready-made picnic basket featuring artisanal chocolate, ice cream, or savoury items before heading down to the park. Prices vary depending on whether you are purchasing individual lollies, custom truffle boxes, or gift arrangements, and the shop operates daily through the afternoon and evening hours.
