About Leonidas Chocolates and Cafe - A Belgian Tradition in Mississauga
The Leonidas story begins in 1913 when master chocolatier Leonidas Kestekidis opened his first shop in Brussels, Belgium. With a passion for quality and a commitment to using only the freshest ingredients, Leonidas revolutionized Belgian chocolate-making by making premium chocolates accessible to everyone. Today, over 110 years later, that same dedication to excellence lives on in every piece we create.
The Best Chocolates ever....

Unlike many chocolate shops that stock products made months in advance, Leonidas maintains its founding principle: freshness first. Our chocolates are crafted regularly using premium ingredients including: • Single-origin cocoa beans from sustainable sources • Real cream and butter (never substitutes) • Pure vanilla and natural flavorings • Fresh hazelnuts, almonds, and other premium nuts • Seasonal fruits and authentic ingredients
