Peace by Chocolate | Antigonish

It has been a goal of mine on this vacation to visit the place where a Syrian refugee family, arriving with little and having lost most everything, overcame distrust to create a chocolate business that has swept the nation and has facilitated good feelings all around. I saw the docu-drama based on their story and knew I had to go. It is on the Main Street in the town of Antigonish, Nova Scotia...and an adorable main street it is! Anyway, it was easy to find the bright blue shop and easy to spend oodles of money. Hard to make the choices though. We also bought specific candy bars designed to help local programs, like teaching Indigenous children their language and heritage, and the local Women's Shelter. Great reason to buy more. Great chocolate, great story, I am happy!

Great assortment, kind staff, delicious chocolate!

Highly recommend the mango artisan chocolate!

Cute little shop. Prices are okay. Service was mediocre. Chocolate taste eh.

Peace by chocolate has been on my to visit list since it's inception. And on Aug 12th, I finally got to visit. I bought so much chocolates, the ones I've tasted are good. Their ice cream also tastes good.
I love the history behind this store. The photos below are some of the ones I bought.

Love this idea! Love this place! Spent some time here selecting approx $90 worth of chocolates for ourselves and friends. Great selection of a variety of flavours to accommodate different tastes. Looking forward to sampling them over the coming weeks while in Nova Scotia. Hoping they last till we get back home to Ontario. Fyi I follow you on Twitter and wish you all the best of success across Canada. Thank you for coming to Canada and giving us your gift of love and peace.
