    I used to frequent the mall so often for a post dinner stroll that certain employees throughout the mall recognized my family and I. All that changed with the pandemic but we're finally venturing back every so often. A number of my mall favorite stores have gone including Godiva, but it got me Googling Läderach and how the Swiss chocolatier came to be at the Galleria. As background, Läderach only expanded to North America in 2019, so fairly recently. At the beginning of 2021, they signed an asset purchase agreement with Godiva which had them take over the leases of a number of US Godiva locations - of which I assume the Houston Galleria location is one. They currently have 37+ locations in the USA. Läderach had similar offerings to Godiva. You've got the display case with the individual chocolates/truffles/pralines (some of which are alcoholic). They also have walls of prepackaged/gift boxed delectables. But here are the differences: there's no soft serve or hot chocolate... BUT they do have Frisch Schoggi (Fresh Chocolate) - slabs of chocolate similar to the chocolate "bark" seen here - which sets them apart. Gourmet chocolate bark! Also, all of their products are MADE in Switzerland and shipped to their stores (I can't imagine the shipping costs for that, lol). Godiva, being found internationally, has chocolate churning factories in Pennsylvania and Turkey in addition to Belgium, where the company originated. For my first visit (Thursday night) they had a steady stream of customers up to closing. Only 2 employees that were trying to attend to everyone. I thought for a bit because I was trying to take a poll in my party to see what flavors I should get (don't know why I try... I almost always end up choosing the flavors) so they tended to other people first to the point I was waiting when I was ready. However, they were great with questions. I ended up getting some Frisch Schoggi. They allow you to sample before buying - sometimes a decent sized piece since they break it by hand. I'm not sure if they have a limit; I sampled 2 before making my decision. I was apprehensive since I didn't want to commit to something if it was too sweet but the Strawberry curd was perfect! Probably help by the quark in it. I ended up getting the Strawberry Curd and dark chocolate Florentine. You can taste the quality ingredients and the product was decadent and super smooth. Note: they asked if I had food allergies before I tried some and they have vegan options! Major kudos there. If you have nut allergies, you might have a problem. Nuts were a big component in many of their flavors. That would explain why it's sold by weight at the rate of $55.60/lb - not to mention the name on the bottom of the slabs. Fancy! I'm not sure if it's the same for their display case chocolates but I'll find out my next visit. This place is a little more expensive than Godiva (around the $45/lb range), but I assume we're helping cover shipping costs in addition to everything else. Both great chocolates but I've only had Godiva's case chocolates so until I try Läderach's, I cannot give a proper review. HOWEVER, I can say it is delicious and perfect as a treat. I enjoyed my first taste of Läderach and look forward to exploring more!

    A new luxury chocolate store in Houston - a Swiss co. Laderach. Exactly where Godiva used to be earlier. They opened Saturday the 25th of Oct , so its really really new. Go crazy with chocolate and its many flavors and they do have samples. Nothing is made here, everything is made usn Switzerland and overnighted here- how cool is that !!

    I've never been in love with a chocolate store but wow this place can get addicting. Thank God i don't live around here because i will go broke spending my money here. Their hazelnut milk chocolate bark is what got me hooked. It's a wide selection of carefully thought out flavors and the textures too Our sampler was also so friendly and accommodating. As well as well informed so she tended to all our picky needs and requests. Found out they are a family legacy and hope it continues cause they seem to know what's up with chocolate.

    Rocket Fizz: 5 Stars to Flavor Town!…read more Rating: (5/5) Rocket Fizz is a total gem and stands out from other novelty stores. I'm giving it 5 stars and here's why: I've been to several novelty candy and soda shops and Rocket Fizz is the only one that truly has a more diverse and actually unique selection. It's not just about quantity, it's about the quality of quirkiness. You walk in and immediately feel like a kid in a candy store, but one that's been curated by someone with a wonderfully weird sense of humor and taste. My personal favorites were the bubble gum and sour raspberry soda - I never knew I needed it but I loved it! It was a surprisingly good and memorable drink that sums up the store's adventurous spirit. Beyond my soda find, the aisles are packed with retro candies, international treats, gag gifts and so many other weird soda flavors you'll feel overwhelmed - in the best way possible! If you want a shopping experience that's not ordinary, full of surprises and unique finds, Rocket Fizz is a must visit. Get ready to have your taste buds - and your sense of wonder - thoroughly entertained!

We bought chumlee rootbeer. I would definitely love to come back and try many of the other flavored drinks, even if it's just another root beer. Such an eclectic collection of candy and sodas.

I have never been to England, but my friend, British is he, had let me try this elderflower cordial and when I tried it, I immediately became a fan and now I find myself shopping here at least once a month. Parking is somewhat limited. Shop is on a shopping strip shared with UPS store and optometrist. I've been fortunate to get parking on my visits. But you can park around in the Rice Village area and make a day of it to walk around and dine and shop. The place is cozy and it feels like you're in someone's home with all the collectibles, groceries, tea sets and decor. You can find everything from tea, trinkets, sweets and fine tea sets to Guinness and Manchester United collectibles. If you love Paddington, you'll find a nice selection of official Paddington items too. The staff is friendly, and helpful. Even though I have never been to England, the shop is reminiscent to what I've seen on tv and hopefully I get my self to experience it someday soon. Until then, I'll continue to enjoy the delights that British Isles provides me with.
