Fantasie Fine Chocolates

Our place is at 5 Warden Road. It’s a nice part of the city, but inside Fantasie Fine Chocolates, we’re just focusing on the work. We deal with a lot of chocolate, obviously. The air always smells sweet, which is nice, but after eight hours, you almost stop noticing it. We have these old marble counters and a lot of molds. It’s not a factory. It’s more like a workshop. We spend a lot of time standing up and moving things around. Warden Road is busy with cars and people walking their dogs. We see them through the window. We’ve been at number 5 for a long time. The walls are thick and it stays cool inside, which is good for the chocolate. We don't have a big corporate manual or anything. We just know what needs to be done. Some of us have been here for years and we know the routine by heart. We don't put on airs just because we’re on Warden Road. We’re just people who like making things. Sometimes the floor gets a bit slippery, so we have to be very careful. We use simple tools and our hands. It’s a bit messy at times, but that’s how it goes when you're working. We don't have a fancy break room. We just sit in the back and have our lunch together. It’s a quiet life here. We just keep our heads down and work.
