Vancity Good Money Mob: CocoaNymph Chocolates & Confections
Last week Vancity launched the second round of their Good Money Mob in support of three local businesses. As their partner for this round, I selected Uprising Breads Bakery, CocoaNymph Chocolates & Confections, and Woodland Smokehouse & Commissary. The public can vote now on which business they would like to support through the Good Money Mob, meaning the business will get the support of Vancity and a “cash mob” from customers.
Today’s spotlight is CocoaNymph Chocolates and Confections. I stopped by the West 7th location (aka NymphEast) to check out their offerings of drinking chocolate, candied nuts, truffles, bars, and lunch items.
About CocoaNymph
- Location #1: NymphWest: 3739 West 10th Avenue (at Alma) open 11:00am to 7:00pm Monday to Saturday, 1:00pm to 5:00pm Sunday.
- Location #2: NymphEast: 4 West 7th Avenue (at Ontario) open 8:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Saturday.
NymphEast serves lunch from 10:00am to 4:00pm and carries an assortment of juices to compliment their impressive line up of drinking chocolate.
They frequently use natural, seasonal, and local ingredients in their tasty sweets. Avalon cream, Howe Sound Brewing’s beer for the Stout truffle, fresh valley strawberries, blueberries, peaches, and more.
Aside from the cafe and chocolate shop offerings, CocoaNymph also runs Chocolate Workshops several times a month — which are actually completely full until the end of October.

Thanks for the chocolate-related post! I’m excited about the chocolate making workshops the business offers. Too bad they are all currently filled, but will definitely check back on their site in the future.
I was recently introduced to Cocoa Nymph at Food Talks a little while ago, and the products are amazing! I love how there is an ‘east’ location – it’s so close to me, no excuse not to go more often. 🙂

Sometimes I have just a chocolate bar for breakfast.
I LOVE CHOCOLATE!
Chocolate orgasm
I am a great lover of chocolate from bars, to cubes, to blocks, to martinis, to fondue, to chocolate buffets. I love them all. I prefer white or milk chocolate but admire the texture and unique flavours of all types of chocolate.

I think I would be like Charlie Bucket going into the chocolate factory if I won $50 at Coco Nymph! 🙂
This place used its powers of manipulated dark chocolate flavours to turn me into an appreciative consumer of said ‘Chocolat Noir’! I used to be a ‘milk choco’ only kind of guy!
I live for chocolate!!!!
Sounds amazing!!!
OMG, CocoaNymph’s chocolate bar with sea salt is to die for!
I don’t know if they have created it yet, but dark chocolate with toffee and hazelnut. That is all.
chocolate fondue is the best!
Yummy
Ummm….yeah I want some delicious, artisan local chocolate!
I love chocolate, especially dark chocolate!
chocolate with nuts and an americano. yes.
I’m a chocoholic and I would love, love, love to win this prize.
I was going to ask how could I have not noticed that I worked a couple blocks away from their East location, but then I found out that they only just opened recently.
They are now on my list to check out in the near future.
CocoaNymph makes fantastic chocolates!
Do I hear chocolate??? Yes, please! Chocoholic present here!
mmmm – I’ve been hearing nothing but good stuff about their chocolate but never got there. And then I saw the picture above and realized I was given one of their bars once – it was fabulous.

Love all things chocolate.
