Cambie—(February 1, 2017) Strathcona sweets and cream puff makers Beta5 Chocolates have opened a pop-up shop for Valentine's Day alongside unveiling their new seasonal chocolate collection. To make the affair special, the temporary shop features interesting touches like a striking mural from local artist Scott Sueme, a display from Woodreform, as well as chocolate bar collaborations from The Juice Truck and Matchstick Coffee Roasters.

To celebrate, Beta5 threw one of their "ice cream socials" featuring a special raspberry sorbet and earl grey ice cream sundae (with raspberry compote, vanilla chantilly, and a jasmine macaron). The sweet and delicious treat was a welcome fruity version of their trademark, layered sundae fare.

As for cream puffs, the specialty was their strawberry jasmine cream puff (with strawberry mousse, mascarpone cremeux, floral jasmine chantilly, and topped with a jasmine macaron). It was a delectably decadent and a fitting romantic dessert. Other signature cream puff favourites including vanilla, salted caramel, quince très leches and raspberry earl grey are also available.
