About Us

At Cocoa40, we believe that indulgence should be intentional. Every chocolate, gelato and handcrafted creation that leaves our kitchen is made with care, creativity and finest ingredients we can source. 

 

 

Our flagship store in Newmarket, Ontario embodies the spirit of Europe with fine, fresh ingredients - made on-site with local Canadian produce, whenever possible. We use natural coloured cocoa butters from plant-based sources, no artificial flavours or preservatives and do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions with options for people who are dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-safe and soy-free. 

Our small batch approach, commitment to quality and obsession with flavour has allowed us to grow into a destination for chocolate and gelato lovers across the region. 

 

Award Winning Gelato

 

In 2025, we were honoured to be named one of the Top 10 Gelato Makers in North America at the Gelato World Masters North American Semi-Finals with our signature flavour, Sea Turtle.

 

 

This recognition reflects our dedication to authentic gelato technique, thoughtful flavour development and the belief that slow, carefully crafted food still has a place in today's fast-paced world. 

Every batch of gelato is made fresh in our kitchen using traditional methods and premium ingredients, resulting in a smooth texture and bold, balanced flavour. 

 

 

Handcrafted Chocolates

 

 

Chocolate is the heart of Cocoa40. 

Our bonbons, pralines, confections and chocolate bars are handcrafted using premium couverture chocolates sourced from around the world. Each piece is decorated by hand using naturally coloured cocoa butter and filled with fresh fruit purees, roasted nuts, caramels and spices. Our newest menu showcased single-origin chocolates from Ecuador, Peru, Madagascar, Venezuela and Bolivia.

From elegant gift boxes, gift wrapped with care, to seasonal collections, every chocolate is created to deliver both flavour and artistry. 

 

 

 Catering & Events

 

 

Cocoa40 also offers dessert catering for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations. Our gelato cart catering brings a unique, interactive dessert experience to events across the Greater Toronto Area, serving freshly scooped artisanal gelato in rotating flavours that showcase seasonal ingredients. 

We also create custom chocolate favours, corporate gifts and dessert experiences designed to leave a lasting impression for clients, teams and guests. 

 

 

Chocolate Sculptures & Custom Creations

 

 

For special occasions, Cocoa40 offers custom chocolate sculptures and showpieces, created by our pastry chef & chocolatier. 

These edible works of art combine chocolate craftsmanship, engineering and advanced pastry techniques, designed to elevate any event, display or celebration where something truly memorable is required.
