Our story

Belgian chocolate,
since 1913.

Happiness, across generations.

The Leonidas story begins in 1913, when master chocolatier Leonidas Kestekidis opened his first shop in Brussels, Belgium. More than 110 years later, that commitment to excellence is still at the heart of everything we make.

Made in Belgium, the real way

Leonidas chocolates are made in Belgium using premium ingredients — real cream and butter, never substitutes, with natural flavourings and seasonal fruits — to the recipes Leonidas has followed since 1913. We bring that authentic range to Port Credit; our selection rotates with what arrives and the season.

A café in Port Credit

At our boutique on Lakeshore Road, the aroma of fine Belgian chocolate mingles with the rich scent of expertly brewed coffee, creating an atmosphere that invites you to slow down. Come for a ballotin to gift, stay for a slice of chocolate cheesecake and an espresso.

Ethically sourced

We believe great chocolate should be made responsibly. Our cocoa and our Origins Collection coffee are ethically sourced, so every cup and every praline is something you can feel good about.
