    First time at this candy store. Delightful! Wendy was very helpful, including wrapping the purchased gift for free.

    First time at this candy store. Delightful! Wendy helped me pick out the perfect gift, and gift wrapped for free.

    All kinds of amazing here! My family has been going to the Richmond location for many years. The Barrington one has pretty much what the other location has but scaled down with less gifts and novelties. This one has chocolates, of course, and they are just as delicious as at their other location. I love the cherry cordials here and the various hand-dipped chocolates are all wonderful. Nice place to satisfy a sweet tooth--plus, they always have samples on hand. Checking in on Yelp gets you a free truffle.

    I stopped in here after my daughters photo shoot, for some reason thought they had ice cream! When we got there we were obviously wrong by hey there's chocolate how can you go wrong! Cute shop, everything looked delicious. The reason for my rating is the lady behind the counter was just so curt and rude. My daughter was so excited to see all the candy and she was just not a nice person. Had her attitude towards my daughter and me different I could've spent a fortune! The chocolate was delicious my daughter inhaled the chocolate bunny on a stick and I had the vanilla cream eggs!!! Absolutely to die for! Hopefully their staff can get a course in customer service !!!!

    The Easter selection was beyond excellent. Especially the motorcycle bunny. A big hit.

    Their chocolate rocks. Go for the dark variety if that's your style. Always nice to support local family business.

    Found this gem while visiting my parents in the northwest suburbs. I was looking for a donut and…read moredidn't expect to find one so tasty. The chocolate (fudge) frosting on the donuts is delicious. Both cake and yeast donuts are great choices. The Bavarian cream is a welcome treat and there is a rotating donut flavor of the week. It's actually a chocolate shop and the chocolate didn't disappoint. There is a wide variety and both the fillings and chocolates themselves are creamy and flavorful. I've gone back multiple times. The service is also very friendly. While you pay a bit of a premium, it's worth it for the quality.

    I've learned of this place from my realtor, of all people. When she brought a box of donuts from…read moreMorkes, we knew the place had to have solid mission and pride for their products. My wife and I had always wanted to visit them ever since then and we finally did after about 10 months. The place was small and charming with lots of neeat chocolate creations, as one would expect. We sampled a couple different chocolate pieces and as far as I can tell, they were good. I say that only because I'm not a huge chocolate person, and I don't have a huge gauge on what's good vs great. Since our main purpose of the visit was for donuts, we went ahead and orderes half dozen "premium" donuts. Turns out, the box that was gifted to us was a custom mix of their premium selections, which are fancier donut creations that require a bit more finesse and efforts for them to create. Apparently, you need to order ahead if you want to have a good mix of a dozen, which we didn't know. So we ended up picking from the available ones. They were still a good variety. I don't actively seek out donuts, but if I craved one, I'd definitely seek out Morkes.

    I mean, if you're looking for some incredibly unique, delicious, and beautifully done charcuterie…read moreboards, Chewcuterie is your place to go! I ordered these boards for 2 events that I was throwing. Rosanna, the owner and maker, was such a pleasure to work with. She was organized with all the information I provided, responsive, genuine, and just overall a kind person! I'm definitely gonna get more boards from her for other holidays or events I have coming up. She also delivers right to you and has many charcuterie options, like jarcuterie for example. The actual charcuterie was phenomenal. Candied walnuts, prosciutto, halved dates, spiraled salami, pitted cherries, cheeses galore - the meat & cheese board was robust to say the least. The sweet board was sweet tooth heaven. Brownies, chocolate covered everything, Rice Krispies, various cookies, and more. Needless to say, the charcuterie boards were a HIT at my event. Seriously using any excuse just to come here and get more boards. Support women owned & local and order some bomb charcuterie from here!

    I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to try one of the delicious boards recently and the…read morequality did not disappoint. The board was arranged beautifully from every angle with a mix of cheeses, crackers, meats, chocolate, cookies, olives, and fruits. I really like the effort that was put into including a variety of meat arrangements, cheese shapes, colors, flowers, and other components that made this a stunning work of art to look at. Fortunately, the board tasted just as good as it looks! I found that overall the flavors were a bit more muted, so that you can graze on this over time without feeling fatigue by being bombarded with strong flavors. I feel this may also be to ensure that the components are attractive to a wide audience. Overall, this definitely is worth buying if you're looking to entertain or hold a special event.
