Thank Geoseph, the Surprise Me! selection was excellent and matches my palette well -- deep dark quality craft chocolate, I was indeed surprised! I'm so glad you took the time to offer this!

About 2 weeks prior to writing this review, I happened to stumble on The Science of Chocolates website. And I can safely say that it was a sweet moment, pun intended. My goal was to find great chocolate, in terms of originality, uniqueness and quality, to send to my parents, 4 provinces away. Geoseph was keen to ensure that I had the correct products for my parents, once I made my order, which to me, was added value from his knowledge of the product and his customer base. When my parents received the parcel, they raved at the meticulous packaging that allowed the chocolates to be delivered without any damaging or melting. Lastly, they were blown-away by the quality of the chocolates themselves. This is no empty promise in me saying this that I will be ordering from Geoseph again in the near future.

I have been buying from Science of Chocolate for a number of years. It offers a wonderful selection of global bars, fast shipping and even the occasional discount code if you are lucky!

SOC is a great website that is full of wonderful content about the world of chocolate. I really enjoy the videos and interviews.

Such an excellent virtual class experience! Chocolates were shipped out in a timely fashion and arrived pristine. Great prices, fun and flexible class, and a small business we would love to support again!

Great communication with the company and they have genuine interest to give you the best product. Genuinely one of the best experiences I’ve had buying chocolate

It’s a pleasure to shop this online store and support its wonderful business! I appreciate the care and attention that goes into the packaging and speedy delivery. Craft chocolate is a treat and the experience begins when opening a package from Science of Chocolate. Geoseph’s curation of chocolate in his shop is fantastic and giving Canadian chocolate makers their spotlight is solid.

Geoseph was a supportive and knowledgeable tutor! He took the time to understand our issues and walked us through each step of our production process to identify areas for improvement. He also provided additional resources to help us. We would highly recommend to other aspiring chocolatiers.

I have ordered from Science of Chocolate a few times, including back when it was called Bean to Bar World. The Website is easy to navigate. Ordering is easy. Shipping is fast (I live in BC). There is a good selection of bars. I have contacted Geoseph a couple times to share thoughts about the bars and he's always been enthusiastic to talk chocolate and give recommendations. Highly recommend this shop.

We had a truffle-making and chocolate tasting zoom for our company's virtual team building in December. It was a lot of fun! We learned a lot and it was easy to follow along. Geoseph was great! He is very knowledgeable about chocolate and he was very responsive and flexible when planning our event.

We did a History of Chocolate session for our work holiday party. We are a remote team working in different places so this was a really nice opportunity to do a shared activity and learn a little something about the history of chocolate at the same time. It was delightful and I can't recommend it enough!

What a treat! The Science of Chocolate hosted a truffle-making and chocolate tasting webinar for our guests, and it was so much fun! The session was interactive, the truffles were easy to make, and they turned out fantastic. Can’t wait to make them again at home! If you love chocolate, you’ll love this experience.

Geoseph is a very generous instructor. I have learned so much from my sessions and cannot wait to learn more. The preparation, techniques, and coaching are un-matched. I am so glad I tried a session with Geoseph!

I've been ordering from Geoseph for years and the quality of the chosen products is amazing. There is regularly new bars that make it possible for me to taste new chocolate bars from all around the world and I'm grateful about it!

So happy I stumbled on this Instagram page, Bean to Bar World aka The Science of Chocolate, a few months ago. Had the privilege to attend a couple meet ups where I got to taste a variety of chocolates, learn about the origins and process of how its made, and so much more. Geoseph is incredibly kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. Recently, I placed an online order to take advantage of a sale and stocking up in some favourites, I was super impressed with the packaging,
presentation and thoughtful note with my purchase. Looking forward to sampling and sharing what I have ordered and attending more meet up events in the future.

Such an amazing place!! Superb chocolates from all over the world and the best customer service! Geoseph is so knowledgeable and will really help you find the best bars for your taste. It’s like a fine wine tasting but for chocolate :). I booked a 30min slot and ended up being there for over an hour. Never felt rushed and could take all the time I needed. A must visit!

My daughter and I had a great time at the Chocolate and Cheese Tasting event. We were always curious about this pairing and now we’ve got the experience. I’ve never taken the time to “taste” chocolate properly; it’s amazing how many flavours come to mind when you do. Thank you so much, Geoseph!

10/10! Excellent place to get your bean to bar chocolates and I highly recommend trying them out. I’ve only used the online store and have had amazing customer service. I believe it is the owner who handles the logistics. He is reachable on WhatsApp and very open with unbiased suggestions. You can feel his passion for chocolates and hoping each of his customers tastes the chocolate for themselves. He does not hard sell more expensive chocolates to make a profit. In one of my shipments the wrong chocolate bar was sent, he immediately amended it by sending me the correct bar and added some samples and a colour tasting wheel as well. Will continue to recommend and order from bean to bar for all my chocolates!

We had such a great time doing a virtual chocolate tasting with Geoseph from Bean To Bar! He organized the event for our team of 10, who are spread out across Canada, and it gave us a chance to connect, chat, and share a really fun evening of learning and chocolate. He even complemented each tasting with music from the region the chocolate originated from, which added such a special touch. Geoseph was able to accommodate our tight timeline and still delivered the perfect balance of entertainment, information, and engagement. I’d absolutely do it again, and now the whole team is hoping for an in-person tasting with him next!

I contacted Geoseph after reading through the awesome and generous information he shares on his website. I was looking for new pure dark chocolate bars to sample so I asked for suggestions. He was extremely helpful and informative about the range of products he carries. Thanks to his help and our extensive conversation, I ended up with a great selection of bars, all of which were quite good. I highly recommend buying your chocolate from beantobarworld!
