Found this little gem purely by chance. We originally wanted to go to OEB for breakfast but coincidentally they were closed due to some technical problems.
This operation looks like a family owned operation. Service was very good and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed the Peking chicken on croissant and eggs Benedict with smoked salmon on croissant. The pear pastry was also very good. I like that their dessert is not very sweet. I can't wait to go back and try their delectable croissant dessert pastries.
Great selections of pastries & desserts and also hv savory offerings.
Check them out you will be pleasantly surprised.
The establishment is very clean and has clinical vibes. -

Nice little patisserie/cafe on 124st. Ordered the BLTT (bacon, lettuce, tomato, turkey, avocado in croissant) sandwich, vege quiche, french onion soup and cookies and cream croissant, chocolate croissant, and creme brulee croissant for dessert.
The BLTT was good...croissant was buttery and crispy on the outside, the ingredients were pretty fresh, and overall taste was good.
French onion soup was ok...pretty much onion soup, with croutons in it. Came with a side of focaccia with olive oil drizzle.
Vege quiche was interesting...they had spinach and zucchini but they left them whole and layered it on top which had the (assumed) unintended effect of making things soggy, combined with wilted spinach, and too doughy of a crust, wasn't very good.
The croissants here though are delicious. Nice, nursery, flaky inside, and crunchy on the outside. Coffee was good too! -

Beautiful bakery! The croissants and the little cakes look too pretty to eat! Well...almost hehe. There were so many goodies to choose from! It was hard to decide what to pick!
Each of the sweet croissants are $3.75 each. The savoury croissants vary in price from $2.85 to $4. They have a deal of 4 croissants for $14. I ended up getting 2 creme brûlée, 1 lemon meringue and 1 truffle and cheese croissant.
When we were paying, the Earl Grey Opera cake caught my eye. I love Earl Grey! I had to get it! At $7.25, it seems a bit expensive for such a little piece of cake. But this isn't some massed produced grocery store box cake you're buying here! It's definitely a special treat!
Just by the number of layers (7?) on the Earl Grey Opera cake, I could tell that it takes a lot of work to make these cakes. This decadent cake contains: Earl Grey sponge, chocolate feuilletine, Earl Grey dulce de leche, caramel ganache, almond sponge and vanilla streusel. There was even a little bit of gold leaf on top! Fancy!!
I ended up cutting the Earl Grey Opera cake into 3 pieces for my Mom, Dad and I. It was so rich that this small piece was enough for me.
The croissants were flaky and delicate in flavour. Very easy to eat. The croissants were decorated in such a way, as to to give you an idea what was in them. For example, the matcha croissants had green dust. The strawberry croissants were a little pink and has some strawberries on it. You get the idea. I'll have to try out the other flavours next time.
I didn't find either the cake or the croissants too sweet. For my first visit, I didn't try any of their regular food. It looks like they have a variety of sandwiches and soup to choose from. They have a small number of tables to sit down and eat. This would be a great place to catch up with a friend. Something to try out for next time! -

Sitting in the car eating the breakfast sandwich with bacon I said "this might be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had." And I don't think it was an exaggeration. Unbelievably good food at Chocorrant. Decent coffee and the service was very friendly. Will definitely return. Good job Chocorrant!

Oh man oh man... this place rocks!
I'll have to go back to try out some more goodies but I was super happy with the crossaint I picked out! They were all delicious!
As far as parking goes, if you're heading here at a less busy time it might not be a big deal but it is street parking so more often than not you'll have to walk a little bit. I came on a Sunday so it was no problem but I would imagine it might get busier.
The inside is really simplistic and clean, with a decent amount of seating! It was very much so like most cafes in Edmonton and next time I will probably choose to sit in instead of taking out!
The gentleman working at the front was kind and helped us out .... After about 5 minutes of actually making a decision; there's so much to choose from!! Which isn't a bad thing at all, Infact I was really impressed with the variety!
A lot of cafes tend to have the same flavor profiles across the board but they definitely stepped out of the box with some of their stuff : crossaints and all!
I was intrigued to try the ube cake but settled on the steal of a deal for 4 crossaints - a lemon, almond butter, apple brie and creme brule.
I was able to try two of them, the lemon and almond butter, both of which were SO good! I couldn't decide which one I liked more! The boyfriend who tried all of them settled on the creme brule one being the best by far! So, his opinion is that the creme brule is a must try if you swing by here!
