If you’ve got a sweet tooth and a soft spot for local love stories, the Newfoundland Chocolate Company is a must-visit in downtown St. John’s. This proudly Newfoundland-born chocolatier is all about handcrafted goodness, high-quality ingredients, and a healthy dose of East Coast charm.

Step into their flagship café on Duckworth Street, and you’ll be greeted by the rich scent of small-batch chocolate and warm, friendly staff who make everyone feel welcome—LGBTQ+ travelers included. Their beautifully packaged artisan chocolates, buttery caramels, and locally inspired bars (hello, sea salt and wild berry!) make perfect gifts—or just treats for yourself after a day of exploring.
