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. 

In 2025, we were honoured to be named a top 5 finalist in

 the Gelato World Masters North American Semi-Finals with our signature flavour, Sea Turtle. This achievement is a reflection of our dedication to craft and a reminder that slow,  thoughtful food still has a place in today's fast-paced world.

 

 

 

In 2019, for International Chocolate Day, we launched the #Chocolate4Change initiative that uses the power of chocolate to support meaningful causes in our community. $1 from every bar sold in this collection goes directly to support these local organizations doing important work in food insecurity, at-risk youth support, and supporting survivors of domestic violence. It's our way of giving back - one chocolate at a time.

Whether you're visiting our shop on Main Street, enjoying our products at a catering event or gifting them to someone special, we're here to create something unforgettable - just for you.
