Holly, Jolly, Trolley! Sounds a lot like Christmas fun! Count me in! I read all of the fine print and explored the details. Tickets are FREE which is absolutely thoughtful during this holiday season. Way to give back Fannie May. Thank you. Headed to the store on Michigan Ave. right after work, showed my QR code to one of the cashiers and was given a ticket. So excited, I really was a kid in a candy store. We all were told to wait and someone would come and get us for the trolley ride. It wasn't long before a gentleman entered wearing a bright red jacket and led us to the beautifully decorated trolley. Christmas lights and bulbs everywhere. Garland and tinsel strategically placed. Filled stockings and candy decor spilling out of bags. Mini trolley cars and candles. Let's not forget the theme music. Our tasting conductor along with his assistant cheered us on by engaging with a bit of historical candy trivia. We were each handed a four piece box of chocolates for a tasting. Our ticket was stamped after each candy. Photo opportunities everywhere. The trolley makes four stops, you can get off at any one of the four stops. You can even stay on for the full forty-five minutes. The tour ends back at Fannie May. There is a 10$ coupon attached to your ticket that can be used at any one of the stores. It expires on Christmas Eve. Beautiful, fun holiday experience. Hoping everyone that wants to do this gets a chance to. Friendly staff, nice music, good company and rich chocolate.

I always stop for chocolates! [Chicago CA] That huge sign at the shop was calling my name... in fact, it has my name on it. Before heading to the parking garage we made a quick stop at the shop. Whenever we come across a confectionery store I always make it a point to grab a bag of my favorite milk chocolate peanut clusters. Inside is immaculate in red and white theme. The shelves were neatly stocked with merchandise -- gift towers, mix & match candy bars and custom assortments. I proceeded to make my way towards the back... I've never heard of Fannie May chocolates before but I'm sure they would have my chocolate peanut clusters. Found it immediately in the display case.... so yummy!! Friendly customer service! Unfortunately it never made it to our next destination to our boat tour, we ate all 12-pcs (mostly me)... and distance was only less than 2-miles (7 min-drive) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Would make a great present for any chocolate lover.

The free Christmas trolly is so festive and a must do. Four free holiday chocolates in an hour. Would love more historic facts about The candy tho.

Yum

To be honest, I've never ever heard of Fannie Mae fine chocolate but once I saw it on Michigan Avenue, of course I had to go inside. It is located right beside the riverwalk entrance and on Michigan at DuSable Bridge. The staff were there if I needed them and did not intrude at all when I was browsing. However, they did come over to me with samples, which of course I could not refuse. The chocolate is delicious & decadent. Dangerously good. I tried to contain myself, but ended up buying some gifts to take back home and a little something something from myself.!!! It's very cute in here. Do not miss!! Great idea for gifts.

Went into this chocolate store because it was right next to the hotel I am staying. Surprised by how rich and unique their chocolates are. They would make a great gift.

One of the oldest and best tasting chocolates in Chicago. I strongly suggest you visit when in the ciry.

Great chocolate shop, with a amazing assortment of goodies to choose from. Also has a ice cream station. You can't go wrong coming here. Only problem is, your going to want to buy everything.

I had the BEST experience at this location! I got a hot chocolate and an assortment of chocolate.

I had the BEST experience at this location! All of the employees were incredibly kind and helpful. I just wanted to stay in there haha! This was the first time I have tried Fannie May and I would certainly come again when I am in the area. I bought a hot chocolate and an assortment of chocolate.

Had to try the chocolate brownie and chocolate chip cookie. Great sizes for the price. The brownie was sweet and chunky in a good way. The cookie was delicious and not too hard but not too soft, just the way I like a chocolate chip cookie. They offered samples when we walked in, which I appreciated. Cute store at a good and busy location.

LIES!

They get one star for admittedly good chocolate, but lost all the other ones because their customer service totally sucks. I walked in about 6pm on Mother's Day because I was staying in a nearby hotel and wanted a little something for dessert. I walked over the counter for a few individual pieces, and this is the conversation I overheard. Employee 1: why are we open til 8pm tonight? We should close at 6. We should be closing now. Employee 2: We're open til 8. Employee 1: we should close at 6. We should close now. I don't want to be here anymore. I can't wait to get off. Employee 2: Well... Employee 1: plus, you can leave at 8. I have to clean up and lock up and it's gonna take me forever to get out of here. Ugh. So there I am, thinking "should I just walk out now? This woman obviously doesn't want to help me and maybe I shouldn't waste my money here." But I did want a piece of chocolate, and I was already there, so I figured I'd get something. Omg, the attitude. She was impatient and obnoxious because I took more than a few seconds to order (after standing there waiting for her to finish her conversation with Employee 2). It was not cool. As I was walking out, I saw the sign (see photo) about how their customers are their reason why they're in business. Really? Well, management may want to retrain their employees to understand that.

This comes in a set of 3 mini sizes. Staff was super accommodating and very patient with my decision paralysis of trying to choose flavors. They had great recommendations and our order was up quickly. Tried the hazelnut, semi sweet, and cardamom rose. Really enjoyed it! The marshmallows are also house made and were delish! Tried the truffle of the week, Baileys and they also had a line of brewery inspired flavors, so I tried the Clementine Cider. One also random star of the show is the well stocked washroom! Equipped with ample space, changing table, baby wipes, diapers, sanitary pads and tampons. Kudos for being well stocked for all the ladies and mamas out there! Can't wait to come back to try the other drinking chocolates!

I opted to try the goat cheese walnut dark chocolate while they prepared my drinking chocolate. My candy was delicious and goat cheese pair well with the chocolate. For my drinking chocolate, I got the Koval Bourbon Drinking Chocolate with Salted Caramel Marshmallow. It was fantastic and a nice warm up to frigid temperatures outside. All in all, a good way to warm up. Lots of options for food. On this occasion it was pretty packed but everyone was in jolly moods considering the holiday season.

If you want to try to find something new for a change, check out Hotel Chocolat. The Classic hot with 70% real chocolate with milk is amazing. There are plenty of high level chocolate products to choose with beautiful packaging for gift giving. The service is good. Friendly casual staff. The noise level can vary. I like to go earlier in the morning when it's quiet and I can write in my journal and plan out my weekend. By 10am, young parents with kids tricks in for parent meetups. There is the occasional book club that gathers at the community stainless steel table. I suggest wearing headphones if you plan on staying for a few hours to focus. I forgot to mention that there is a small assortment of pastries to pair with a selection of hot, iced, and frozen chocolate concoctions. Enjoy!

My fav so far is the macaroon and sour cherry. Did not like the strawberry cheesecake as a candy though. I hear, they had 5 stores in New York which shut dpwn sometime during covid, and these two stores in Chicago opened about a year ago. They are really soft. Keeping them out at room temperature kind of melted them so I put them in the fridge. texas heat is too much for their sensitive fruity nature ;) There's a little card which tells exactly which chocolate is what flavor . Packing is really cool. Goes great as a gift.

We've tried the jasmine osmanthus, and as of 5/24/26 the most recent flavor is ube (and apparently still is at the time of this review according to their Instagram). All the flavors have been incredible so far and we always look forward to the next time we can go. Additionally, it's vegan so everyone can enjoy it! They have been known to run out though, so get there early if you can. They also have beautifully decorated bonbons, caramels, and chocolates, all with some really unique flavors I haven't seen anywhere else - check out the pictures to see some of them! I'd feel guilty eating the bonbons because they're so elegant, but they would make a fantastic gift. They make their matcha lattes using matcha powder that they also sell, and you can actually choose which matcha powder you want to try based on its profile. They have a chart that shows the matcha choices and their descriptions; I'll try to grab a picture of and post here the next time we go which will hopefully be soon, but someone may have already posted it. It's a small place so it can get busy and crowded quickly, especially since they're only open on the weekends. Everyone has been so nice and helpful whenever we go though, despite how busy they get! Can't wait until our next visit!

It's a nice coffee-with-your-peeps stop or maybe a small lunch. It's quite cozy and they have a nice variety to choose from. Certainly, many as a drop in bakery and take their treasures to-go. I had a lovely strawberry Belgian waffle and a Marocchino Caldo. Good to the last drop. I noticed many people ordering crepes and croissants. There's just so much here. Robert always walks out with macarons that he snacks on throughout the day. So even the health wise has his days. I chose the Chocolate Raspberry Bombe and don't regret it! Our service was terrific.

I got a dark chocolate with orange, with fresh hand-whipped cream. Yummmm. I brought some little chocolate truffles home and their flavor selection was fantastic - think Bergamot Caramel, Strawberry Balsamic, Sesame Nougat...it was impossible to choose. Only regret is that I wasn't there for a full meal. The crepes and waffles sound incredible. Gotta make my way back soon!
