Someone brought a box of the World Famous English Toffee to work. That first bite of rich buttery toffee was fantastic. Shamefully, I had several more pieces after that. I wouldn't dare bring a box of this into the house. Bad eating decisions would be made. However this toffee would make great gifts for other people! read more

I make the annual trek to pick up a couple boxes of the toffee each Christmas.... This year picked up some fruit slices( ( fresh taste), mint chocolate (perfect balance of mint flavor), toffee (always wonderful). Each the toffee within a couple of weeks for best taste. Toffee is $30 per pound, but worth a splurge read more

A few years ago, I was gifted a box of Cora Lee Candies toffee; it was life-changing :D. Even though I live an hour away, I happily drive to this perfect sweet shoppe to purchase toffee, chocolate covered peanuts and other delicious delights! I've always been a Fannie May fan and Cora Lee Candies challenges my devotion with every bite of their chocolates. read more

always consistently great pricey but good toffee was outstanding my customers love it had not changed at all

This store never has the chocolate toffee without nuts in stock. It is very frustrating.

Their toffee used to be the best. Went up to Glenview to buy boxes and boxes and they have changed it! The toffee is about half as thick as it was when I've had it in the past. So very disappointing. Go back to what it was and stop being so cheap. Will not be buying again or singing their praises until then. read more

Used to love coming to this store, but the price just is shocking! $30 for a 1lb chocolate. Friendliness is so so. read more

Excellent English Toffee. The best I've ever tasted. People in store are GREAT if you have a problem.

I love the English toffee. The best toffee around .Great service add selection of chocolates

The Cora Lee candy store is amazing! What a hidden gem!! I can't believe I have just found this store. Yes. Look at the reviews. Their toffee is phenomenal! Just the right amount of crunch without breaking your teeth. And it is always fresh. Nothin else compares. A little pricey but well worth it for a treat. Another plus is the people that work there. The ladies are always so nice, friendly and helpful. Now I know where to get any chocolate, toffee, candy or treats for upcoming holidays, birthdays, anniversaries etc. It is a MUST that you stop here for Valentine's Day!! CHECK IT OUT!! read more

Love this ho-made candy store. Even creamier and better than Fanny May. Try the toffee- my fav. They also carry old fashioned classics. Beautiful hand dipped, hand molded chocolates In beautiful packaging. read more

I have been a loyal customer for years. Once you have their toffee, you will not be happy with any other. It is the best! I literally have to remove it out of sight or it will be my lunch and dinner. My other favorite is their Grumpies. They are loaded with pecans and just amazing. I have tried both the milk chocolate and dark chocolate ones. Can not decide which one is better. I hope they stay in business for many years to come. read more

Years of producing delicious toffee; however, under new ownership, so don't expect a free sample anymore.

It really does live up to the hype! Outstanding! Perfect texture and amazing taste! This is a quality toffee! I was in a local confectionery and tasted their toffee which prompted me to jump on and give Cora Lee the review they deserve. (Also, customer service has been top notch) Thank you! I will continue to be a loyal customer (consumer and gifter of your product) read more

Great candy, a mixture of locally made with higher end commercial candy items. Wonderful staff, clean environment, bright and cheerful. They also will ship orders. A++ read more

Beware of ordering online. You may double billed and there will be no refund. When ordering online, the order did not go through and I had to call to get my order placed. It took many calls to get through and I reported my failed online attempt. The person I talked to placed the order plus two more. I was billed for three orders. The next day they processed the failed online order and bill me again, even though the order had been placed over the phone the day before. I talked to the owner today and she didn't care at all that we were double billed and they sent out two orders when we only wanted one. I see they have a new owner. Beware. They want your money, but don't care if they make a mistake. They'll bill you anyway. This has ruined our impression of Cora Lee and we will not be ordering Christmas Gifts from here again. read more

OMG! I can't literally stop eating the English toffee. I will buy it for later just for myself. You know what! I'm going to stop writing here and continue eating this toffee. Try it people! You will not regret it! read more

Cora Lee Candies - Goodness in this world! - Candy Stores Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

We made our yearly pilgrimage to Cora Lee candy today. We travel quite a distance, but it is a shame that we don't visit multiple times a year to stock up on the most amazing toffee you will ever have.! The stories about Coralie candy mostly spread by mouth appropriately enough and customers travel from far and wide, and remain loyal from year to year. This is a family owned business that clearly cares about their product and delivers the best chocolate ever! The owner was nice enough to let us try their version of a turtle which is called a "grumpy". Well, I'll tell you one thing I was not grumpy after I tried it ..amazing! The best chocolate covered caramel pecan treat I have ever tasted... She was correct. I will now be going there to buy "Grumpies" . If you want the perfect gift, the 2 pound box is a must. My family is a big fan of toffee and the box disappears in minutes. They are happy to ship to you if you are unable to make it to Glenview, but it is nice to make the trip and see the store which is quite charming , thank you Cora Lee for making the holidays so special. I know it's a lot of work but it's very much appreciated.!! read more

I'm a big fan of Toffee, Cora Lee's is the best Toffee I've ever eaten in my life. If there's a better Toffee out there, it outta be against the law. The texture of the Toffee is unmatched, it's soft and buttery with a perfect amount of sweetness. The carmel lifts ever so subtle off the Toffee bark. Suffice to say I'm hooked. read more

What a great store. My first time in the other day. We got some candies as a gift and was talked into some marshmallow eggs. The eggs were legendary. So flavorful and yummy. read more

I just received my bulk order of the English toffee today. I opened one of the five boxes to "sample" a piece since I never had their toffee before. needless to say I had to tape the box shut before I ate the entire half pound. absolutely delicious, nicely packaged for gift giving and I will be ordering again soo. read more

We receive your toffee every xmas from my husbands customer. We are from Boston and every-time it arrives it's hard not to devour it all. This is by far the best toffee ever!! Thank you so much for making this!! Run don't walk to pick this up! Regards The Donovan's read more

I was really really hoping that when my coworker recommended this place it would just be okay but unfortunately, she was right when she said the chocolate here is amazing aka addicting. Yes it tastes fantastic but even more importantly you can taste the freshness, even days after you purchased it. This goes for the toffee, the turtles (grumpies) and the assortments behind the glass. I am ashamed for not knowing about this place before, but better late than never as they say. read more

I ordered a box of English Toffee for my mom and paid $10.95 for overnight shipping. My mom lives in Glenview and the store is in Glenview so I thought it was reasonable. My mom didn't receive the candy until about a week later. Since the treat was for my mom's 90th birthday, timing was important. I emailed Cora Lee asking for a refund of the shipping or at least a store credit. I also indicated that the quality of the toffee was not up to the usual standard. I never received the courtesy of a reply. I was really disappointed in Cora Lee. My mom really likes there toffee and I feel good about supplying a local business. My mom also likes Fannie May's English Toffee and Fannie May did seem to have things more organized during the COVID-19 shut-down. If you intended to do business during the shut-down you needed to make sure your quality and service aren't going to suffer. Noticed some of the other negative reviews had to do with shipping and poor customer service and not the English Toffee. I guess the solution is not to ship Cora Lee, order Godiva, they have shipping down pat. Really disappointed. read more

I live in California, so, alas, have only had one opportunity to visit the Glenview store. But -- thank God for mail order -- every Christmas we live for the 2 pound "World Famous English Toffee" from Cora Lee Candies. It is to die for! This toffee is nothing like the rock hard, jawbreaker variety we've all had from lesser-quality sources. Covered in melted chocolate and ground pecans, Cora Lee toffee is out-of-this-world delicious, and oh-so-easily chewable. We order it from their website and it always comes perfectly fresh. For candy lovers, this is a unique gift that, once sampled, might just start a lifelong habit... read more

Fantastic tasty English toffee, great service by the two ladies working the counter today, helpful and super nice. This place has the best English toffee around. We also enjoy their candies, but toffee is where it's at. read more

12/2020 My wife has been buying Christmas Candy here for us for years. First time I was here. Great tiny little place. Not much space in there. But the English Toffee is AMAZING!!! Wish I could eat it every day of my life. But I have to control myself! Staff was very good and they had the products we were looking for, in the package sizes we wanted and for a pretty good price. Great local place!!! read more

Cora Lee's English toffee is unbelievable. So good! I just sent some to friends as a thank you gift and they are delighted! This is the best hostess gift I know of. Also the best office gift during the holidays. I see that they have dark chocolate English toffee, which I have not tried. Looking forward to it. read more

I ordered the English toffee for a party favor for my daughter's bridal shower for me to put into individual bags and although they do not provide that service they equally portioned them into the bags that I purchased. Not only do they have quality product but the customer service is quality also. I DEFENITELY RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS read more

Extremely poor communication on shipping orders. Orders not arriving, no compensation, throw your money in the trash, rather than order on line. read more

I was sadden to see this place had only 4 yelp reviews! You just don't know what your missing. But wait, then everyone will start to know about it! I'm not that mean! I get the famous toffee for Christmas every year from a co worker and seriously, it is to die for!! I won't be working at my current employer anymore so I made sure to bookmark them in my iPad. Thanks Cora Lee! Yum!! I also like that you have sugar free options. I wish you had a sugar free toffee box. Maybe you do?? read more

Love this place but the people who work here are not friendly. This is a candy store. Why is everyone so unsmiling?

This star rating does not reflect the excellence of their English Toffee, It is beyond equal and is five star quality. HOWEVER - They need to add features to their order processing and fulfillment. Slow to fulfill orders - ordered on Thurs. called on the following Tues. and the order was not started. I asked to get the UPS tracking number, my contact information was taken and I was told I would get a return call - that did not happen. In a email that said the order was shipped and to check the tracking number - they did not provide that number and is not provided on their web site in the order status lookup. read more
