“Local Artisanal Perfection: A Must-Visit for Chocolate Lovers!
If you are visiting Bowen Island, you absolutely cannot miss Cocoa West Chocolatier. From the moment you walk into their shop in Artisan Square, the incredible aroma of fresh chocolate tells you that you’re in for something special.
What truly stands out is their commitment to artisanal craftsmanship. As local chocolate artisans, they hand-cast their creations using organic, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. The chocolates themselves are unbelievably crafted—each one is like a miniature work of art with complex, balanced flavors that you just won't find in mass-produced brands. Whether you're trying their famous 'Unbelievably Good Egg' or a signature organic truffle, the quality is undeniable.
Beyond the sweets, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The owners, Joanne and Carlos, and their team are professional, knowledgeable, and always happy to share the stories behind their seasonal creations. The cozy European-style café atmosphere, complete with intimate seating and a picturesque garden patio, makes it the perfect place to slow down and savor an artisan hot chocolate.
Supporting local artisans who care this much about their craft is a joy. Don’t leave the island without picking up a box—your only regret will be not buying more!“

“Honestly one of the best and cheapest cafes there is on campus! They have a very cute vibe, cozy study space, and fantastic food for a very low price! The hot entree I got is only $5, and I can't recommend it enough especially if you are a UBC student :)“
