    Often I come here to pick up some chocolate covered strawberries and also dark chocolate treats. They do not have parking but there is street parking right in front and it is free. They offer their own chocolate as well as others. You can order ahead for special occasions or just pickup at any time like I do, some treats. The girl at the register was not too friendly but the lady that has been there for some time she is. I really like their chocolate and I will keep coming back. One time I brought some bananas and they covered them for me so feel free to ask if they can do it and they probably will. I've tried different things and I've enjoyed all.

    Terrific hand-dipped chocolates! You can buy by the piece so you can create your own mix.* They have hundreds of antique chocolate molds they use - holidays are amazing with a huge selection at Christmas & Easter. Dozens of hobby and occupation-themed items make wonderful gifts. You can have items personalized, too! *Hint: They sell small bags of "seconds", chocolates that don't look perfect at a markdown. They taste PERFECT . (don't ask me how I know...)

    This place is awsum! Been comin here more than 10yrs, very friendly staff. They have all kinds of sweets available from old to new. If you're looking for something special, most likely can be found here just call. Came here on a whim tonight, 10min before closing & were able to fulfill my order, 1LB of chocolate covered strawberries(the usual ;) to surprise my wife). Their milk chocolate is so delicious & melt in your mouth! Definitely a must try. Also they can gift wrap your purchase for special occasions. FYI: Usually crowded on Valentine's Day so make sure to call and order ahead!

    This review is about the Black Forrest Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears - I love gummy bears but I've…read morenever ever ever had a better gummy bear, these definitely are a different variety than what you might think of when you think of traditional gummy bears. These are the most tender flavorful gummy bears I've ever had bar none, they are so addicting, if you buy these or the gummy worms buy lots of them or regret it as soon as you pop the last one in your mouth. I recently attended an event where there were boxes of these sample size packages - everyone was hoarding them. I grabbed a few packages to enjoy later and then decided to open a pack to enjoy at the event. I didn't really think about them again until I got to my office and started unloading my pockets and began filling my desk drawer - I pulled up the news feed on my computer and grabbed a few package to snack on while watching - after about 15 minutes I decided to wrap things up and noticed quite a few empty packages on my desk, okay maybe a few more than quite a few, they are that good, like none other - I don't know exactly where I can buy these or order them online but I'll definitely figure it out...

    *Where one's dulce dreams come true*…read more Looking for (almost) every Mexican candy ever made? Whatever you're looking for, Dulcelandia is THE place to find it all. It's like the mecca of Mexican dulces--from Lucas to Duvalin to Pulparindos to Dulces Vero, they have everything you could ever want. They also have locally-made piñatas and catrinas to add to the vibe of whatever party you're throwing. I was there on a random weekday, and it was pretty empty, which made it great to browse and load up my cart with antojitos as I pleased. Just don't go too crazy--you can quickly rack up a pretty large bill!

    This isn't anywhere near Dylan's or Sugar Factory but for Mexican culture it's the best in the…read moregame. This place is every little Mexican kids dream and let me tell you, this new generation has it made. Back in the day my Mom used to take me to pick out my piñata at Abarrotera Mercantil. Right across the street from Cook County Jail. Don't get me wrong that store has excellent merch but Dulcelandia is like walking into a gold mine. 99% of the candy sold in Dulcelandia is Mexican candy. Nearly all of it I've never seen or tasted myself. Here is a list of good starters to try when visiting: (these are a few of my fave) Mazapan De La Rosa- crumbly peanut powder that's packed into a round shape. Kranky- chocolate covered cornflakes. Bubbaloo- similar to Gushers but gum with different flavored juice filling. The rest of the list you probably won't like unless you grew up as a kid eating and developing a pallet for. They're all tart and spicy, not sweet: (Personally I'm not a fan) Pelon Pelo Rico Tamarind Chili Push Up Candy- its a spicy candy gel that looks like hair when you squeeze the tube up. Lucas Chili Powder- it looks like a tiny salt container and they come in different flavors: chamoy, acidito, super spicy ect. I would go for the lime flavor. It's sour and tangy. You pour this directly into your mouth. Vero Rebanaditas (watermelon) & Vero Mango Paletas- these are spicy and tart lollipops. Aside from the plethora of candy choices they sell so many kinds of pinatas, decorations, and party favors. They have Yogolandia where you can make your own Yogurt cup and choose your toppings. They have a snack bar that sells elotes, cookies, hot cheetos, nachos, ect. and a seating area. I would inquire about birthday party packages. I'm not sure if they still offer party rooms and all the other amenities. Def a good spot to venture out. Don't forget to bring the kids!
