They make the best Dubai Chocolate bar, and trust me, I've tried a lot. The filling to chocolate ratio is just right! At $35 a bar, the price is comparable to others that I've tried. Not sure why it's so pricey, but it's completely worth it!! I haven't tried anything else from Mignon, but I'm sure everything is amazing! read more

Delicious chocolates in a cute shop! Not the flagship store but had a great selection of various chocolates. A family owned business from the early 1900s. Visited on the Melting Pot Old Pasadena food walking tour. Nice and knowledgeable employee. read more

Very nice ladies here. The chocolates here are better than Sees, and a good value for what you get. If your only chocolate experience has been mass market chocolate, you will find excellent chocolate here. The exotic dark chocolate truffles were my favorites, very unique flavor combinations. read more

Randomly stopped by during an afternoon walk and was overjoyed that Pasadena has a fancy chocolate store. There are times that I want some thing better than just a mass produced chocolate bar. The staff who helped me, was very knowledgeable about the chocolates. I randomly walked in and suddenly didn't know what I wanted to eat. I'm not a huge fan of liquidy insides., and prefer milk over dark chocolates. Unless, the dark chocolate has some very sweet cream inside. It's a very small store, but they have plenty of options for all kind of chocolate lovers, even ones who want to get experimental with their tastes. They have chocolate for all occasions, and all different shapes and sizes but they often run out of flavors by the end of the day. I recommend going a little earlier around the afternoon or opening to ensure that you get the best flavors. read more

Amazing chocolate and fantastic service. Found this shop while looking for gourmet chocolate in the area for my friend and boyfriend . The woman who helped me was so knowledgeable on all the flavors and notes. I told the woman assisting me what kinds of flavors they both enjoyed and she helped me curate a perfect box for each of them ! read more

Love their chocolates. Great service too. Great for gifts and they give you samples :)

Anyone who knows me, knows I favor artisanal chocolate- I love to support literally all the local SD brands. Recently though, I jumped into another committed relationship and he doesn't like me buying superfluous things (his name is Car Loan, cough cough), so it no longer fits my budget. I've been happily eating my way through my holiday truffles from Trader Joe's. While up in LA, my girl gifted me these exquisite handmade beauties! I've never seen such unusual flavors, such as rose water, and I especially love the hand-painted champagne lips. Overall, these are absolutely beautiful, great for gifts and the chocolate itself is amazing. I enjoy real ganache, made with cream, and I have a feeling these are crafted with quality ingredients (many places use... palm oil). read more

Mignon Chocolate - Thank you, Cindy! Xoxo - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Pasadena, California

We stumbled upon this small little chocolate shop while in Old Town Pasadena and decided to pick up a gift box to go. You can choose from one of their premade gift boxes or make your own. The make your own ones are pretty pricey for the amount of pieces you get. They offered me a sample and I decided to go with one with a hint of lavender - it was creamy and delicious with just the right amount of subtle lavender. Service was friendly and helpful! read more

My family and I were searching for viral Dubai and we found at mignon at it lived up to the hype and was absolutely delicious. The dark chocolate tasted very high end premium chocolate and the dubai filling was crunchy and the pistachio flavor perfect. The prices for a half pound bar was very reasonable compared to others on the internet. read more

The chocolates were overrated and overpriced. There wasn't anything special with the chocolate pieces my mom and I got. Lacked flavor and wasn't sure what made it so special. We've had luxury chocolate before but this was no comparison. The service was awesome though! Great gentleman and very knowledgeable. read more

This cute little chocolate shop is tucked away in old town Pasadena. I happened upon it as I walking around in Pasadena. This is a family owned chocolate store that has been around since 1935. The lady at the store was extremely friendly and was happy to help us with any questions we had. She gave us some samples to try as well. They have a mix from truffles to everyday milk and dark chocolates. We tried their truffles and their " M collection". Both of them were delicious! Definitely worth tryin out. Their chocolates are reasonably priced and they have a wide variety of cute gift boxes. read more

Mom and pop chocolate shop. A diverse selection of chocolates with very unique tastes and presentation. Many of their chocolates have a hint of spice in them. Highly recommend for any person or occasion. I have been coming here at least once a year for almost 10 years now. They have different levels of packaging depending on the number of chocolates you buy and/or the occasion. The packaging is also very nice. The lady here is also very pleasant and kind. The price is a little bit on the higher side but the chocolate is a high quality novelty confection with a special taste that's hard to find elsewhere (not that it's better than other premium chocolates, but just distinct). read more

To be perfectly honest, I was a bit apprehensive after reading a few reviews about less-than-stellar customer service...but the lady behind the counter (Sandra) transcended all of that by offering me a sample of chocolate before I even whipped out my Yelp check-in... So after asking about what was popular and gazing at all the pretty designs and reading the descriptions, I chose: 1). Ginger with lime sea salt - dark chocolate filled with ginger ganache topped with lime sea salt (their most popular) 2). Caramel cup - dark chocolate filled with liquid caramel and topped with Himalayan sea salt 3). Lavender - dark chocolate shell filled with lavender-dark chocolate ganache 4). Coconut Toffee - milk chocolate shell filled with liquid toffee-caramel topped with a coconut swirl I got it all to go in a beautiful brown box with shimmery orange lid and matching orange ribbon. There was also a gold Mignon sticker...build your own 4 piece box, $9.00 Mignon has a fascinating family history beginning in the Ukraine in 1910, followed by time in a Siberian prison camp (their crime- being too successful) and then on to 1970's chocolate success in Tehran and beloved sweet shop of the Shah of Iran. By the way, mignon, which Americans associate with steak, actually means "cute" or "dainty." I found these confections to be quite dainty and delicious. I especially loved the lavender with crunchy bits of the flower and the coconut toffee. A very nice experience! Yelp Challenge 2019: 13/100 read more

My friend and I were walking to our cars after lunch when we stopped by this shop. It smelled delicious and it looked delightful. The woman at the counter offered us a sample, and we tried the ginger and mojito (on her recommendation). You only get one sample each, but she was nice enough to cut each of ours in half. Works for us! They were so good. Naturally, we bought a pile of chocolate to take home with us. I took several pieces home to share with my husband and daughter. We're all chocolate fanatics, and we all have a strong preference for dark chocolate. We loved all five. The chocolate with chili was really smooth. You didn't get the spice until the end. The mint infusion in the mojito was so refreshing. The dark ganache was boring by comparison, but that's not to say it wasn't good. It's just that the others were really great. The dark pomegranate had a really nice punch of flavor. And we loved the crispy bits of the hazelnut crunch. I would definitely go back. read more

If you want the best chocolate, well look no further. Mignon Chocolate is a family owned and run business. They have been crafting chocolate since 1935, using a combination of a time-tested craft, innovative techniques, long-standing relationships and a complete obsession with making a premium chocolate that delivers a spectrum of flavor for every discriminating palate. I simply love their assorted chocolates from sea salt to dark chocolates. Interior atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. It's neat and organized. Besides their Pasadena location, they have another store in Glendale. Staff were very amiable and knowledgeable. Prices were fair. Street metered parking only. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this chocolate store. read more

I had heard great things about this place and always wanted to try it. I was shopping at the place next door and wanted some chocolates to try! I asked for the best milk chocolate they had and the guy said the one with the milk ganache is the best and most popular. I also got the sesame one and rose one. When you pay $1.80 for a chocolate, you expect it to be amazing. It was definitely not anything close to amazing. It tasted old and not fresh or quality chocolate. It was a waste of $7 for four small pieces of chocolate. I have had way better. read more

Excellent chocolates, a family favorite. Came in to buy a box for Mother's Day. I chose the chocolates that I wanted. Beautiful shapes. Some flavors you can only find here. They organized it beautifully. They also do special occasion chocolates/ party favors. Longtime fan and customer. read more

Amazing! All sorts of different and unique chocolates to choose from. I've been going here for years.

I don't even like eating chocolates on its own but this place makes them extraordinary. Family owned Ukrainian chocolate store, all handcrafted chocolate with multiple locations. The Pasadena one is small and cozy - they're displayed like jewelry treasures. Our recommendations are absolutely the Mignon heaven for it's dark chocolate and ganache filling as well as all their truffles (particularly the tiramisu)! Also their chocolate bombs for hot cocoa are divine! Great packaging and bow wrap ribbons for gifts! read more

Meh at best. The ganaches were grainy and dry. The flavor profiles lacked sophistication. In all honesty, a Whitman's Sampler may be superior. On the other hand, the service was very nice. read more

These Chocolates are Good! Got to try the Ginger Sea Salt (didn't think I 'd be a fan, but I was!), Hazelnut Cup, Caramel Cup, Caramelo Milk & Hazelnut Truffle. ALL of these chocolates were excellent. I especially liked the addition of Sea Salt to many of the chocolates (a must with the Caramels). Presentation in the boxes are pretty (some of the chocolates have bright colors & patterns), too. However, it is a bit pricey; 12 chocolates are $25. I think its totally worth it. Final Note: Free sample with check-in! read more

I saw this "mom and pop shop" when I on my way to pick up my takeout order around. The shop interior looks very vintage. The lady greeted me when I walked in. She found out that was my first visit, she was super friendly and nice enough to introduce and explain each flavor to me. I was so thrilled by all the flavors. I tried the chocolate after I got home and I was amazed at how tasty the chocolates actually are! Each taste does taste like what it supposes to be. I can't decide which one is my favorite because they all are delicious. I think I will go back and get more. They have gift boxes and wrapping available. It will be one of the great gifts for your loved one, family, friends, or even for yourself... I want to go back as I'm typing this already! read more

I guess they don't give you a free piece of chocolate for dropping 50 bucks anymore. If this wasn't a Christmas tradition, I probably wouldn't come back anymore. Inflation is very much alive at Mignon. read more

My niece & I were craving for sweet stuff and she picked chocolate over cupcakes and cobblers. I got excited when I saw yelp sticker on the door. The place was empty when we got there and a lady greeted us when we walked in. The lady was so friendly and patient. So many beautiful chocolates proudly displayed on the counter. We were offered 4 different samples and I liked its ginger sea salt sample. They also sell some macarons here. We got bourbon whiskey, amaretto truffle (for me of course), ginger sea salt, hazelnut, milk chocolate ganache, irish creme truffle, and 56% dark. I was surprised I only paid $5.52 (including tax) for 7 chocolates. $5 minimum for credit card purchase. I was kinda disappointed with my chocolates but they were very cheap considering they were gourmet chocolates. I couldnt taste any alcohol in its alcohol chocolates..what a disappointment. No happy hour for me =( It's not bad but I've been eating Teuscher for a while so I've been spoiled. Teuscher ruins my taste buds so Mignon taste just meh to me. Sorry... 3 stars!! Mignon Chocolate is almost yummylicious!! read more

Mignon Chocolate - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Pasadena, California

I stopped in around Christmas time to pick out two boxes of chocolates for gifts. Mignon was one of the few chocolatiers in the San Gabriel Valley, which was a great convenience for me since I had one afternoon to run this particular errand. My goal was to spend $25 per box and Mignon offers a 25 piece assortment. That is very affordable but for me, the downside was the packaging. I really did not like the standard Mignon branded box. Without mincing words, it did not look high-end. It was a glossy red cardboard box with some chintzy branding. After deciding I couldn't give anything in those boxes, I considered the variety of other non-branded gift boxes. I picked a chocolate brown one with a nice orange ribbon for the same price but contained fewer chocolates. At the time, I was happy to substitute quantity of chocolates for packaging. As I mulled it over more, I became more disgruntled that I had to make that sacrifice at all. Mignon should invest in more attractive branded packaging. I can barely speak about the chocolate, since I gave it all away but I did sample a piece of ginger one that was fine. read more

Mignon Chocolate really exceeded my expectations. I'm definitely a sweets person, but usually chocolate leaves me wanting more variety. Mignon has an excellent selection and I loved everything I tried. The ginger chili chocolate was spectacular and had the perfect amount of kick. The lavender was beautiful to look at and tasted even better. A great place to purchase gifts locally. I will definitely be back. read more

Good stuff - we have bought lots of assorted boxes over the years. Three stars because they only got about 2/3 of my last (valentines) box correct and didn't inform us when we picked up the box. So it was either a careless mistake or they made plenty of substitutions without notifying us. Unfortunately it was all my favorites that got axed - and they gave us like 6 champagne chocolates which we don't like. When you spend 90 bucks on a box of chocolates you deserve better than that. read more

I came down to Old Town Pasadena to pick up some fine chocolates from Leonidas for a gift only to find out they closed down a few months ago. So, I used my Iphone to yelp search chocolatiers in the areas and came upon Mignon. Mignon is what I'd expect from a mom & pop chocolatier. The store seems cozy. Something you'd find in a small town. They display quite a selection of chocolates with different flavors in their refrigerated display. They also have pre-packaged/wrapped packages. The lady who worked there wasn't too helpful. I was the only one in the store and looked around on my own. After reading some of the yelp reviews, it looks like they give out samples, however, I wasn't offered any. Next time, I'm getting my double dose of samples!! It would of helped to at least taste and see what I thought might be good. read more
