    My favorite chocolate store! Well worth the price of their chocolate. It tastes just as good as it looks

    Kalai C.

    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.

    Thank you, Cindy! Xoxo

    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).

    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!

    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.

    Happened to walk pass this Chocolate shop, I had to get a thank you gift . I decided to get some chocolate's. I had the best experience shopping with the help of the salesperson, Anthony. He was so helpful and answered all my questions and gave me great recommendations. Definitely will come back in to get some treats for my family.

    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.

    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).

    Tried the champagne kisses and they were sooooogood had to buy some to take home my new favorite chocolate place the mango ganache sounded interesting but couldn't really taste the mango caramel truffle was really yummy also had the toffee crunch cthe matcha green tea is alsovery delicious

    Everyone raves about these - I'll have to try them next time...

    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

    Chili, mojito, pomegranate, dark ganache, and hazelnut crunch.
    Nina R.

    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.

    You have arrived.

    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.

The flavors were perfectly balanced, the mozzarella paired so well with the tomato, and the grilled chicken with pesto tied everything together beautifully. The vibes were incredible and I love sitting outside, especially it was more of a chilly morning, and they made sure to turn on the heaters above the outdoor seating which was incredibly thoughtful so customers that we're all sitting and eating we're enjoying a nice breezy cool day along with warmth. What I really appreciated was that it wasn't overly oily or salty, which made it even more enjoyable. It was light, fresh, and super satisfying. My mom loved it just as much as I did!!

To people just passing by, it's not going to look like much - but it's the energy & aroma of their food that pulls AND keeps you in. I recommend the Pork-Pernil w/Mano Cheese AND the Chicken Avocado Arepas. You really can't stop with just one order of arepas. It's been awhile since my last visit, but I remember loving the guava lemonade - good size & incredibly refreshing! Can't wait to explore more of the menu the next time I'm around.

We were a few stores down from Laderach and we can smell the sweet scent of chocolates from a far. We decided to stop by and check out this fancy and yummy chocolate shop.

They were both delicious. The chocolate was perfect. It was quality chocolate and semi sweet and not too rich. The combination with the dried strawberries were a perfect blend and balance. We left the store and purchased a couple of the pre packed milk chocolate and the strawberry chocolate. We can't wait to comeback to try other types of chocolates on Laderach's menu.

We marched from Target, beelined to the right towards Bloomingdale's, GameStop's just right before Bloomie's - grabbed the game, and bolted--because let's be honest, video games especially the latest of the latest version + the special pack features already cost an arm, a leg, and possibly a kidney. But fate (and sugar) had other plans. On our way back to the main drag, we locked eyes with Läderach. The glass cases were glistening. The chocolates were posing. I casually said, "Let's just taste." Famous. Last. Words. Fast forward $70 later, we walked out proudly cradling a 1-lb slab of FrischSchoggi--a chocolate hazelnut masterpiece so decadent it should come with a warning label. Rich, creamy, crunchy, sinful... basically chocolate that whispers, "You deserve this." The staff? Super friendly and dangerously encouraging. The store? Small, bright, beautifully merchandised--minimalist Swiss luxury vibes. The chocolates? Divinely indulgent. It instantly transported me back to Europe, standing outside Lindt, watching chocolatiers scrape, spread, and turn molten chocolate like it's edible art. Läderach delivers that same magic--except now I'm the one eating it instead of just staring longingly through a window. We thought GameStop was the financial threat... turns out Läderach is the real boss level LOL. But honestly? Worth it. Every. Single. Dollar. Come for the "just a taste." Leave with a lighter wallet and a very happy soul.

There's never enough menus to go around while waiting to order. As a nice gesture, I let those behind me have our menu after we had decided and described the dish I wanted to the women working the counter. This dish was written on their menu by name, a melon prosciutto bowl, but she was very confused and eventually keyed in a prosciutto scramble which was not what I wanted and not listed anywhere on their menu (I double checked). There's not many tables, and nobody seems to clear them with any urgency even though there are always many people waiting to sit down. The last three times I have been there, the food took at least 30-40 minutes to come out after ordering, which is insane for a counter service cafe with a dozen tables. Any time I've asked how much longer on our food, the staff is very dismissive and rude and just barks 'we're busy!' .... OK? You're literally ALWAYS busy, is there not any way you can plan or staff for this in advance? The food runners always seem confused about what food is going where and are inconsistent with bringing silverware. The cherry on top of this last visit is that the rest of my party got their food (again, after about 35 minutes), with a promise that my dish was 'on its way'. We waited ten minutes before approaching the hostile staff at the counter to find... my dish, the scramble that I didn't even order and wasn't on their menu, had been sitting already made for the whole ten minutes. Nobody thought to grab it and deliver it, and when we asked about the dish and wait, were met with hostile shrugs and blank stares. Again, the food is delicious, but I won't be back until they fix their disastrous service and attitude.
