This is a family favorite dating back many decades. They have managed to stay consistent over all those years and we are never disappointed. The quality remains high, the service is good and they continue to be one of my favorite chocolate shops. read more

I just dropped a mortgage payment in Genevieve's - like I do every Christmas season. My wife makes the list, checks it twice, and I'm the big elf she sends out to get everyone's chocolate gifts for the holiday season. This is really a no-brainer! Everyone loves Genevieve's chocolate!! Great variety and even their sugar-free items are very good! Love supporting local shops like this one with people who care about the quality of their product, are super knowledgeable about their ingredients and have a small, well organized shop that is very welcoming read more

Genevieve's Home Made Chocolates - Bag-o-goodies!! - Candy Stores Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

So after a most disappointing experience with trying to satisfy a chocolate covered pretzel craving last week at a south Jersey homemade chocolate shop that fell so badly flat, I circled back to this old reliable. Why I keep trying to reinvent the wheel and find a better one, I don't know. But seriously this place makes AWESOME chocolate. That simple. White btw is amazing. But today we talk pretzels. These little gems in the box pictured below are pure heaven. But you know what deserves a specific shoutout are the milk chocolate covered pretzels. Why? They have this crazy good malt flavored note to them that I can't explain. It's like a little crunchy bite of a malted milkshake. Just try them. You won't be sorry. read more

We love Genevieve's! We love the chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered crackers, chocolate lollipops... you get the picture...we usually pick up orders around the holidays (Valentines, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas) for my kids and we pick up gifts for nieces, nephews and in laws. My hubby is the one who stops in when he's in the area. Sounds like parking may be a tad difficult, but totally worth it. read more

The chocolate is very tasty and I enjoy the combinations they make. I wouldn't go to another place.

Working in Lodi, I receive a lot of Genevieve's as gifts and I'm never upset about it! Their chocolates are homemade and delicious. I've seen all size boxes and assortments. The chocolate is super smooth and tasty. The dark chocolate is great too. My overall favorite is definitely just a good chunk of milk chocolate. They also have the fruit and nut pieces that are to die for. You can really taste the difference in it being homemade, they're generous with their add-ins. I would definitely recommend them if you need a quick gift for someone in the area. Easy to order and very friendly service. Great local business to support. read more

DD picked up the slack and runs a tight ship. Milk chocolate covered pretzels are my go to. Back in 1972 I won a 5 foot chocolate bunny from here for Easter. Never stopped going back. My kids love this place, parking is tight but use your head. Chocolate bells are very good. Hope the new owners don't foul it up one day. read more

The best homemade chocolates around. They have sugar free chocolate also. Dark, white and milk chocolate. My favorite is the dark chocolate covered pretzels. read more

I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. This wonderful family business has been purveying artfully created chocolates for many years. Did I say delicious? I am a milk chocolate lover but they have amazing dark chocolate too, all of it paired with fruits, nuts, candy, cookies, creams, or just plain...delicious!! I don't know what I will do if these lovely folks decide to hang it up and retire - it will disappoint the next generation of my family! They have boxes of chocolate assortments wrapped for giving or they will put a festive ribbon on a box filled with an assortment of your choosing. Enjoy the comforting and delicious scent of chocolate as soon as you open the door. There is plenty of street parking and you can even visit the outstanding bread bakery across the street while you are there. Don't miss it. read more

Delicious chocolates with a good assortment to choose from. The shop is a little on the small side but it was packed with delish chocolates. I picked up a box of nonpareil milk chocolates, peanut brittle and a few Christmas gift boxes. Genevieve's Home made Chocolates is my new "go-to" chocolate shop. The only down side is the parking, no parking lot and finding an open spot on the street can be difficult. read more

Excellent chocolate candy shop! Me and my family have been going here for years. Continued success!!

This place has some delicious homemade chocolate. A must try here is their chocolate covered strawberries, I promise you will not be disappointed. I am just not sure if they have them al year round so I would call first. Prices are comparable with other places I have checked out. Staff is very personable. They do not have a parking lot but street parking is easy to find. read more

Genevieve's Home Made Chocolates - Amazing chocolate covered strawberries - Candy Stores Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

I noticed a review for Genevieve's while browsing my "nearby Yelp feed", and I am glad I did. I never had been to this section of Garfield. The store is located in a mostly residential area of Garfield. I came here to pick up some chocolates for Valentine's day. The store was pretty busy but they kept the line moving along. The chocolate covered strawberries were a big hit. The wife loved them. They had a thick coating of very tasting milk chocolate on them. I loved the chocolate covered oreos. Great tasting and they were nicely decorated (see my pic). They had a nice selection of chocolates and other sweets. Definitely a great local business to support! read more

Genevieve's Home Made Chocolates - Chocolate covered Oreos @ Genevieve's - Candy Stores Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

This is THE best place for chocolate. Once you try it, you will be hooked on the fresh, creamy flavor of real homemade milk chocolate. It's just so good. I used to live a mile away so we would stop in every time we stopped at the bakery right across the street. Now I'm a half hour away but still come back for an occasional treat, and all my holiday chocolates for Easter and Valentine's Day, etc. I've also had all my party favors (Christening, Communion) made there and they were amazing. Definitely try it! They're chocolate covered pretzel rods are a must. read more

Literally the best chocolate I have ever had. Old world style, homemade, exceptional perfection... it's indescribable. The biggest drawback is that I've never been able to enjoy big brand chocolate having grown up on Genevieve's chocolate for every holiday. At Easter they have a wall of chocolate bunnies in all different shapes and sizes - check out my pic. Get the assorted meltaways box!! You can smell all the different flavors. Raspberry, mint, hazelnut, double chocolate... Divine. read more

Chocolate covered Jordon crackers.... The best! This chocolate shop will take you back in time when you used to buy confectionary by the pound. I enjoy the chocolate chunks and an Easter bunny is a must try. By far my favorite chocolate shop in NJ. read more

Great chocolate selection. Place gets very busy around mothers day, easter, etc. so buy ahead of a time. There's plenty of pre-packed chocolate and other sweet snacks. Mother's day they had mother's day chocolates and mother's day boxes which was really nice street parking only credit card OK Will return read more

So you're familiar with the expression "Like a kid in a candy shop"...... well that was me today. Genevieve's is one of those great local neighborhood places that has been around forever......and for good reason, their chocolates are outstanding. If you're a chocoholic, you'll love this little place! They have just about everything you would want covered in chocolate......pretzels, marshmallows, fruits, nuts, twinkies, even espresso beans! Be prepared to spend some serious coin in this place as it's on the pricey side. But like I always say, the finer things in life ain't cheap. read more

This place is one of my favorites for there chocolate jelly's. I just want to say I used to love there chocolate strawberries,but this Valentines Days batch was the worst quality and clearly price gauging at a wapping $21 a pound these medium smaller berries dipped really heavy felt like chewing on ice almost broke my teeth.... literally 3/4 thick chocolate around a entire a small berry is way to much in my opinion.. so I paid $34 for four pieces not even a half dozen to enjoy with my lady! Totally killed the vibe we were in a chocolate coma after eating one! YOUR BETTER THEN THIS! Still love your chocolate Also to there credit I was warned they were on the heavy side by the worker Thank you but what I didn't understand was when he said to me hurry and put them chocolates in the fridge when you get home. Guy a blow torch wouldn't melt that ice burg of a chocolate strawberry :( read more

This is my childhood stomping ground for all things chocolate. It was here that I became a fan of white chocolate, the elusive and often hard to perfect, less popular shade in the chocolate family. I never understood when everyone cringed when I said I loved white chocolate until I tasted other brands' versions...ick! What can I say, I've been completely spoiled by the homemade chocolate treats that I make the journey back (to my childhood neighborhood) to every Easter. When you walk into this tiny, unassuming shop, you're immediately intoxicated by the delicious aroma of chocolate. It's a tiny family run store that has shelves lined up with delectable chocolate creations in the shapes of bunnies, kitties, and elaborate Easter sculptures; all crafted with love and chocolate goodness. My favorite treats include the dark or milk chocolate covered crackers, the dark chocolate covered oreos, the solid eggs and bunnies, as well as the coconut eggs. You really can't go wrong with whatever you get. The jelly beans are also the best I have ever tasted. I simply love this place. It's a small town treasure that will always be a must for my annual Easter shopping. You haven't experienced chocolate decadence until you've tasted Genevieve's chocolate. Enjoy! read more

Excellent stop for a dying trade. Chocolatiers are almost a thing of the past. Great choices of candies and quality chocolates. This is always a good stop for buying a little gift for someone. They will remember you for sure. Old school candies today. Quality! read more

Been there multiple times. Quality of the chocolate is excellent. Very friendly service. Plenty of delicious items to choose from. Pricing is on par with most homemade chocolate shops but felt compelled to write this review after being charged $38 for 6 strawberries. It didn't really dawn upon me at that moment but that is ridiculously expensive. I understand being charged by the pound and the quality was excellent but just wanted to warn customers that u may be buying a strawberry at $6.41 each. Maybe it was just my batch that was too heavily coated with the milk chocolate. Definitely good quality though and will certainly return. read more

The best place ever they are very nice there and very helpful the chocolate is to die for I recommend it 100%.

Me and my whole family love coming here. My mom and her family have grown up coming here since they were kids and lived in the area. Now I come here for candy especially around Easter. They have candy and chocolate that is different from every other place. Amazing! There plane is quiet and clean. The staff are all very warm and helpful. I don't what other great things I can say about this! I plan to take my kids here one day and keep the tradition going. Absolute best chocolate around! read more

My 92 year old grandmother has been going to Genevieve's for over 50 years along with the rest of my family giving them A LOT of business over the years which we will no longer be doing. This past weekend my grandmother stopped in for some chocolate fruit and nut eggs for Easter. When she got home she realized she picked up the wrong flavored chocolate eggs. She went back to the shop and explained to the owner her dilemma thinking he would be kind enough to let her swap them out for the correct eggs and pay the difference in the price. He rudely pointed to a sign and said NO they have a no return/exchange policy. I understand that there is a policy, but she was literally just in the shop 20 minutes prior, picked up the wrong eggs by mistake, and none of the packaging was opened. As a business owner you should be flexible as the people who are your biggest supporters and most loyal customers keep your business running. Needless to say my grandmother was in tears when she brought over the eggs on Easter Sunday and explained the terrible experience she had after all these years of being loyal to this mom and pop shop who she was a true supporter of. I myself and the rest of my family are disgusted and will never shop here again. It's unfortunate, but this could have been resolved in a nicer manner. Genevieve's just lost a family of 30+ customers. read more

This place had a wide variety of chocolates and truffles. Also sugar free variety. I chose a wide variety of chocolates and loved everyone of them. Cant wait to go back and try some truffles. read more

Growing up in town this place is a staple for delicious homemade chocolate. Valentine's the gave fresh chocolate covered strawberries and Easter tons of bunny and chick shaped chocolates as well as filled eggs. They offer sugar free versions of some of the chocolates. Truffles, chocolate & but, and chocolate jellies by the pound. This place once had a full stock of Teddy bears, stuffed animals, and gift cards although over the years as shopping turned online and more use of eCards those shelves emptied a bit. Still the chocolate is what keeps people coming back for more. Worth a try. read more

This was our first time coming for our daughters chocolate easter bunny. They had a huge selection of chocolate bunnies with different designs and even crosses for the more religious and a lot of add one for easter. Such as easter chocolate balls, easter lollipops. They wrapped the chocolate very nicely where I don't have to re wrap which is a major plus. We will be shopping here more often. This is without a doubt a hidden gem that I am glad I found (: read more

delish, always excellent chocolate- i suggest the double dipped jordan crackers!! YUM!

My absolute favorite chocolate store since I was 5. The chocolate is homemade, super creamy and delicious! They also have awesome Easter statues for the whole family.. Ballerinas, motorcycle bunnies and everything in between. Love them!! read more

I drove all the way out to Genevieve's in New Jersey from Long Island, NY simply because I heard that they were the best in the game! And guess what? They are absolutely incredible. Chocolate is made on prem and is so good. The chocolate covered strawberries made on Easter and Valentines Day are the best I have ever had (even better than Godiva and that says a TON.) The service was great there were older ladies working the counter who were super sweet and nice. GREAT PLACE I RECOMMEND read more

My aunt has been buying chocolates for my wife for as long as I can remember. She always purchased a 2lb box of mixed milk and dark chocolate and the box contained a mix fruits, nuts and jellies. It was always a hit for my wife. Unfortantley, my aunt passed away and I had to carry on the tradition of a 2lb box from Genieve's. So I went there today a picked up some of their fine chocolates for Christmas. I usually bought Godiva for her but she always said that Genevieve's chocolates were better. Check this place out. They are that good. read more

I'm from Garfield and have had that choclate every easter since I was born.. THERE IS NONE BETTER!!!

Wow. Words fail me. I'm a bit of a chocolate snob, having eaten candy from Paris to Istanbul and sadly I pass on most candy nowadays as it's hard to get excited unless it's something special. Well, let me say Genevieve's is a special place. I just got a box of their candy for Valentine's Day and ... wow. Their chocolate is truly outstanding. Sweet but subtle, great mouth feel, no aftertaste that's common with so much manufactured chocolate (and even some homemade chocolates). The taste of a Genevieve's chocolate changes as you chew or even hold it in your mouth. It's quite an experience. Really, it can't compare to any candy I've had in recent memory. The last time I had truly memorable candy was at Ladurée in France, and that's really saying something considering Ladurée's been making top notch candy for the last 150 years. Honestly, I'm surprised I hadn't heard of them until today. They're so damn good. read more

My wife brings me home their butter nut crunch toffee as a special treat. She and the kids love the haystacks and the jordan crackers also get rave reviews. The dark chocolate almond bark is another favorite. They also make chocolate covered strawberries (better than any others we have tasted!) for Valentines Day and Mothers Day. read more

Hands down the best chocolate ever!! they have a great variety of sugar free chocolate that is incredible!! My mom and I drive from Toms River to Garfield to Genevieve's because it is the best!!

I visited this place a couple of weeks ago, bought my kuds chocolate cover pretzels, and sugar free chocolate for my husband.
