Kenny's Chocolates used to be Humboldt Chocolates. Same folks - different name - according to the young lady who waited on me the day I visited. I ordered a mixture of chocolates - 16 to a box. My favorite was the vegan peanut cluster. Yummo! The chocolate covered salted caramels were also really good! Everything was tasty - really good! The whole shop smells heavenly! Service was good! #KennysChocolates read more

Awww, these turned out so cute! I was looking for computer-themed chocolates for a gift basket at work, and nobody had any but the friendly guy at Kenny's Chocolates suggested I buy a mold on Amazon and he would make custom chocolate with it for me. He had my order done a whole day before it was due, and because I needed to be at work before they opened on Friday he let me come pick them up after hours since he was still there cleaning up. He and was super friendly. I ended up with some extra chocolate, so I was able to do a taste test and they taste wonderful! read more

We are so happy we just happened to catch the sign our of the corner of our eye on a recent visit to Eureka. It's a small, humble shop tucked off the main sidewalk but cozy and inviting and smells WONDERFUL! Kenny, the current owner, was there and explained how he came to own the shop and how he hand makes each chocolate right there. The chocolates are beautiful and SO TASTY good! We wish we had bought more. Also, we got a baker's dozen - thank you for the extra pieces, Kenny! read more

Came in on a not very busy Wednesday afternoon. The gentleman who helped us was super friendly and helpful. Appreciated that he put on a new pair of gloves when he helped us. Chocolate was really good with a excellent selection of interesting flavors. read more

Humboldt Chocolate - hidden away in the back, behind the spiral fountain in old town, you will find a great little chocolate shop. Smells of fresh chocolate and spices when you walk in the door. We were greeted with a smile and a friendly conversation as we built a custom assortment to go. We picked a few of several styles of the offers they had the day of our visit, as we wanted to sample more than one of the types of chocolates they offered. Below are our findings, and in order of preference. ~ The Macadamia Buttercrunch Toffee, amazingly delicious, crunchy and great macadamia nut flavor, with a rich toffee that had just the right amount of crunch and melt, this was our favorite and we wish we had gotten more. ~ The Creams, everyone of them and we sampled four different flavors, was true to flavor and as creamy smooth as they could be, with a nice fresh milk chocolate shell that melted nicely and was sweet to the taste. They were all great. ~ The Melt-a-ways, again we sampled three different flavors and all were delicious. They all had a great fresh rich chocolate flavor and taste. With the lemon and raspberry both coming in together at the top of our list for flavor. This is a clean, small shop that is well laid out with a nice selection of quality, small batch, hand made chocolates and candies. We spent about $20 bucks and it was worth every penny. Not really sure what the one guy was complaining about with the "from 2 Christmases ago" comparison and "go to See's" - yes, See's is an awesome west coast chocolatier, however... Humboldt Chocolate is also an awesome west coast chocolatier from behind the Redwood Curtain and well worth the stop and a visit. They will custom build an assortment for you of anything they offer from a single piece on up. A Solid 4.5 Stars ~ rounded up for community support. 00265 read more

I love this place! It's gone through a variety of name changes over the years, but the chocolate remains the same. The shop always smells amazing and is quite welcoming. We stop in pretty frequently for custom gift boxes (because who doesn't love surprise chocolate boxes?) and have a blast picking out the chocolates, and always end up with a few for ourselves. Definitely a Humboldt staple. read more

Well, it isn't Humboldt Chocolate anymore. Darn It's Kenny's chocolate. They said it was the same candy. That's not true. Our number one purchase has been their cherry cordials. They were to die for. I was told that they are looking for a cherry supplier. I was very disappointed but bought two dk. choc rocky road and two milk choc. Rocky road. Viva la difference. I scoffed at my husband when he couldn't tell the dark from the light. I looked and I couldn't tell either. They were all dark, with nary a marshmallow and with toasted coconut. Toasted coconut? In rocky road? Strange combination. Neither of us liked them. read more

Kenny is great! His chocolate is superb. His customer service is top notch. 10/10 would recommend

Really great selection of chocolates! There are many gift options here and some pretty unique ones too. I saw chocolates in the shape of a badge and cuffs. Another one shaped like a baseball bat. I got a variety of chocolates to test out. My favorite one was the marzipan one, it was delicious. My least favorite one was the thin mint chocolate that was in a wrapper because it had sugar chunks in it and I don't like chewing tiny crystals of sugar. The thicker mint chocolate didn't have chunks of sugar and tasted great. Lady was friendly and the shop smelled wonderful. read more

I'm glad they put up a sign by the street, or I'd never have found this place. I was walking around downtown Eureka and saw a sign with an arrow that read "chocolate." I'm not one to disobey a sign, so I headed into Venlo. There was a screen door to the area where they make the chocolates, so I was pleased to see that it's truly locally made. I got two truffles to share with my bf. First was a 'mushroom', a cute hazelnut cream truffle that looks like a little fungi. Very cute, and very tasty. The hazelnut flavor was good, and the texture was creamy. Second was a 'milk mocha french cream.' It was indeed mocha, with a nice coffee flavor and a creamy milk chocolate outer layer. The cream was not as smooth as the hazelnut, but it was delicious. Great place to get locally made European-style chocolates. read more

I saw the small sign for Chocolate in Old Town Eureka and decided to look into it. Shop isn't in the best location, they go by word of mouth. Most of their stuff is made there in the back. Shop is small and was warm inside when I went. I recommend that they give out samples!! That would help a lot in getting customers to buy some chocolate. I like that it's made in Eureka & I like to help small business. I did get to try a Dark Chocolate Blueberry - I liked it. Many blueberries inside the dark chocolate. I only get 2 small bags of the cheap chocolates (priced cheaper because they are older chocolate - one bag had some bloom on some pieces) 4pcs for 99c. Got 2 bags for $1.98. They take credit cards, I paid Cash. Hrs: M-Sat 10-5:30 Sun 12-4 Arts Alive (1st Sat of every Month) 10-9 They are on Twitter & Facebook. read more

The all dark truffle is the best treat you can imagine!! I'm not a huge dark chocolate person but this is irresistible and amazing. It smells delicious in here and the gifts are ready to go and great for giving. Love their logo and to send out of town as well. read more

Chocolate was good, nice and soft with a delicate taste. The truffle was not to my liking, a little too different if you ask me. They make specialty gag items which always are great for gifts, good thing to keep in mind. read more

Mmmmm. You can smell the chocolate before you even open the door! Made right there behind the glass! The espresso truffle is my favorite. Lots of gifts to send back to LA. I would like to see a little "v" on the chocolates that are vegan to make things easier when ordering a vegan box or have a vegan friend from out of town. read more

I love chocolate and Venlo Chocolates' has exactly that! You walk into the small shop and are embraced with the aroma of chocolate! My boyfriend and I explored all the chocolates in the store and discovered that the chocolate here is locally made. What a gem! The lady working here was so friendly and knowledgeable about the chocolates within the shop. We eventually decided on the chocolate pecan candies. 3 for 99 cents! You can't beat that! If you're having a chocolate craving, check out Venlo Chocolates. read more

Expensive, even for premium chocolate. But the flavors are amazing. I got the hazelnut mushroom, and the hazelnut toffee. Perfect flavors and textures. These chocolates are to be savored! The store is small and nicely organized. However, I find that the lighting does not highlight the confections all that well. If you are like me and eat chocolates with your eyes first, and mouth second, you are going to miss out here. read more

Stopped by Kenny's on Friday, 9/17.....Kenny is working on getting the shop filled up again with delicious chocolates. I indulged myself in the milk chocolate bars and also a box of truffles. Hang in there Kenny. You do great chocolate work. Look forward to seeing you again next time I'm in Eureka. Toni read more

Kenny was super friendly and helpful, and the chocolates we're beautiful and delicious and very reasonably priced!

I discovered this store a couple of weeks ago and was on cloud 9. I had no idea that there was a wide variety of chocolate goodies, pretty ones too!. They don't just make bars, they make cute little "nuggets" of chocolate, decorative chocolates etc. This is the best chocolate in the county. Pure and doesn't have the same negative effects of highly processed chocolates. read more

They have an awesome variety of quality chocolate. I wish that I had discovered it sooner. Great place to get someone a gift from Eureka. read more

Venlo chocolate is a great locally made chocolate store capturing the heart of funky humboldt bay with their specialty choclates made to look like starfish, fish and our redwood forests own banana slug! They also have a great selection of nuts and chews, which are my fave. The moment you walk through the doors you get the thick aroma of delicious chocolate being made on the back, which you can see from behind the counter. You are also greeted by the lovely store clerk who knows her choclates. All in all its a great sweet tooth experience! read more

Love their chocolates. It smells great when you walk in. It is a great deal to buy unique chocolates in the redwood forest. It is always a stop before and after you leave Eureka on our trips to see our college Hsu. Can't wait to go back and pick up more chocolates read more

Best chocolate in town and in the area! This place is a completely hidden gem tucked back behind the gazebo. They make all of the chocolate on-site and let you taste some of their wonderful creations. For a small shop they have a pretty big selection along with very cute molds of candy in shapes that make great gifts. The prices were very good for the quality in my opinion and the staff was great. You can order stuff and have it delivered as well. What a delicious idea! read more

Stumbled upon this little shop while wandering around town with my family. The sweet smell of chocolate hits you before you even step in the door. I was very pleased to see a nice variety of vegan chocolates. I picked up some cherry cordials, a hazelnut square, peanut butter cup, and a couple others. They were all super tasty! read more

I love this store! Now "Kenny's Chocolates". Best chocolate in town! I visit this location multiple times a month, it is so delicious I can't stay away. I spoke with the new owner the other day, he was very kind, polite, and made me feel welcome. Highly recommend, great place to bring visiting family! read more

Hard to find, and harder to find parking, but worth the search. Their chocolate is amayyyzing!! It's a little spendy ($13 for a small box to $30ish for a larger box and depends on the types of chocolate), but worth it for a gift or an occasional treat. Especially if you want something a bit unique and special. They have a huge variety of flavors, so it takes a while to fill a box. So hard to choose! read more

The smell of this store is heaven!! We got a half pound of chocolate because it seemed like the best deal. Then the macadamia and almond brittle was so insane we went back the next day and got another box of just that to take home! There was a huge selection and they have pretty much every kind of chocolate you could want. This is a classic chocolate shop that isn't super wild on flavors but I prefer that kind of thing when it's done right like this place does. We felt like we got great service and all our questions answered! read more

Very good chocolate! Small shop but the service was really great and there were plenty of choices to choose from! The lady working there was very nice, I believe her name was Tracy. She's awesome! read more

My favorite chocolate ever(: it smells amazing when you walk in, and it's made right there. My step dad always gets my mom a treat from there on special holidays (: I love it here. read more

Ok it's a bit hard to find. But the chocolate is fresh and wonderful. The person working there is friendly and patient and helpful. She put together a wonderful custom dark chocolate box for my husbands birthday that he absolutely loved. The smell in the shop is to die for too! read more

The chocolate here is sooo delicious!!! They have many many many vegan options to choose from. There are no little vegan signs so you do have to ask what you can eat and what you can't eat. However, every time i've gone in there, the person at the counter is extremely patient, nice, and helpful! A great experience for all. :) read more

The place smells wonderful and the gal behind the counter is really sweet. The chocolates are really not good. Imagine that box of Russell Stover left over from 2 Christmases ago that you just found in your closet. Wife and I spent about $20 on a pretty good sized hand picked variety sample of the products. Each one was mehhh at best and inedible at worst. Seriously the candy lacked flavor, and it tasted like they used imitation flavorings. Go with Sees. Don't bother with this place. read more

My sister sent me a Christmas gift box with all things Humboldt with one obvious exception but I digress. Two of the items in my box were Humboldt Chocolate bars. I received one dark chocolate chili and milk chocolate espresso. It's heaven. I have since found their website and placed my first online order Monday and received it yesterday. That's what I call great customer service. read more

Crazy perfection. This place has the nicest young woman working at the front counter. She knew in detail about every piece available! I was looking for some gifts to send back home and God she was patient. When I finally knew about every chocolate offered I decided on two mini gift boxes ANDDDDD a box of VEGAN chocolates! Which is generally hard to find, but there's was perfect and made with rice milk. There is a perfect combination of nuts n chews,salted,creams and bars. It's so petite and wonderful,they made a customer for life. read more

One of the best things in Eureka! This charming little place was pointed out to me by the nice lady at the Loleta cheese factory. It is a little tricky to find, but I was very pleased by the quality of the chocolate I found there. To help people calibrate to my taste: I avoid Hersheys, Palmers and Russel Stoeffers, but cannot figure out the big deal about Godiva. I like Sees for a nicer chocolate, and Dove and Cadbury for a mid-level chocolate. I think this is much better than Godiva. The dark chocolate truffle was delicious! I got my mom a box. read more

Great chocolates in a quaint shop. The smell alone is enough to get you in the door and then it can be hard getting back out again. Lots of variety in their cases; I have a hard time imagining someone not finding a chocolate to fit their tastes! read more

As a person who spends a great deal of time thinking about chocolate, eating chocolate, and reminiscing about recently eaten chocolate, I know what I'm talking about here. This is a great chocolate shop. There are lots of elegant choices, and I really like their seasonal items. You've got to love a selection of truffles in a box that looks like a mortarboard for graduation or a set of chocolate tools for Father's Day. I always like to get my little girl's Easter candy here-just a few really adorable delicious pieces rather than a bunch of dime store stuff that's made of truly questionable ingredients. Venlo has vegan and organic choices too. read more
