Maisonette

What is Maisonette? Located along cobblestoned Tank House Lane inside the historic Distillery District, Maisonette is a boutique dessert parlor and chocolate showcase featuring the acclaimed creations of Toronto master chocolatier Laura Slack. The charming heritage shop features exposed red brick, ornate display vitrines filled with edible works of art, and antique furnishings reflecting the Victorian industrial character of the 1830s Gooderham & Worts complex. It offers visitors an enchanting pause for decadent chocolate souvenirs and sweet refreshments.

Maisonette Menu & What to Order The boutique is celebrated for Laura Slack's iconic hand-painted artisan chocolate truffles, each individually brushed with edible luster dust and filled with rich ganaches like Madagascar vanilla, salted caramel, and passionfruit. On brisk afternoons, order the rich drinking hot chocolate topped with hand-torched marshmallow cream, or cool off during summer walks with small-batch artisanal fruit gelato and natural ice pops crafted without artificial additives.

Know Before You Go Operating hours mirror the Distillery District's retail schedule, opening daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with extended evening hours during the annual Distillery Winter Village. Seating inside is limited, so most patrons take treats to enjoy on the district’s scenic pedestrian courtyards. Paid underground parking is accessible off Parliament Street, while the 504 King streetcar stops nearby at King and Parliament.
