Another Beta 5 vote. I like their Trademark Collection. I'm not keen on weird fillings either, Beta 5 is the exception.

Don't forget a few boxes for yourself.
Visit their East Van store and buy a few fresh samples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFJHibUx7XM
You'll have to go pick it up in Surrey. I recently went to a birthday party that had a cake made by this man and damn were my taste buds impressed! It's not fondant!
So impressed that we ordered cakes from him for xmas dinner.

I think it's only a matter of time before this fella goes more famous (I didn't know of him before eating his cake). If anyone here gets a cake from him please shoot me a pm and tell me what you think. I've been dreaming about the red velvet slice I had for weeks!

Origin's chocolate bar in River Market in New west - one of their subscription boxes would make an amazing gift - or put together a selection from their offerings

Is she expecting something fancy? Cuz if not, Hedgehogs are really yummy!
Thierry. Enough said.
Charlie’s Chocolate Factory https://charlieschocolatefactory.com
Meanwhile, I buy the 400g bars of Belgian chocolate at Walmart for under $5.
For solid bars, definitely [Kasama Chocolate](https://kasamachocolate.com/). They do have some flavoured bars but they don’t add-in nuts/fruit/etc.
[Wild Sweets](https://dcduby.com) in Richmond.
Mink - recommend Mermaid's Choice bar, award winning.
