You can't come to Colorado and not stop in a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (even though.they are all over the country!). They make the best caramel apples. What a selection too! We picked up apples and hot chocolates, perfect for a cold and snowy day (Easter Weekend)! There was a nice selection of candies and Easter candies. Friendly and helpful staff! read more

When visiting Boulder, I spotted this place and thought that would be perfect to pick up some items to take home. The two staff people inside (a young lady being trained and a woman--maybe the owner?) were behind the counter. My friend and I started to look around. I picked up a couple of items and my friend wanted to buy a few pieces to take home but was told she had to buy a certain amount in order to get them packaged up. My friend didn't want to purchase that many items but she wanted her items wrapped up to take home to her girls. She declined. I ended up purchasing a few items including one single piece of chocolate to share with my friend and it had to be eaten right away which was fine with me. We both left there and felt the atmosphere wasn't very welcoming mainly because of the older woman (owner?). She wasn't rude--just not very friendly. After trying the chocolates, I didn't think they were all that great. Definitely not for the price. read more

Don't refrigerate caramel/dipped/candy apples if you're planning on eating. It will be fine outside for a few days. If you do refrigerate it for it to keep longer, leave it out for a few hours before cutting it. It tends to be too brittle or hard otherwise. In general, they travel well and are great if you don't have immediate refrigeration. Also, the first time I've seen an RMCF sea salt chocolate-dipped apple. I wonder if it's a recent thing because I've never seen any at our location. They do seasonal flavors/decorated apples as well and were still doing chocolate-dipped strawberries in March. This is their Pearl Street/the Pearl Street Mall location (four-block outdoor mall/fancy downtown-ish area for tourists and bar hopping), and conveniently right next to the downtown Boulder Visitor Center and the Pearl Street public restrooms (which are actually very clean). The street itself is blocked off for restaurants' outdoor seating. Parking consists of metered street parking (including a fair amount of back-in angle spaces) and a number of public garages and parking lots in the surrounding area as well. Not too familiar with the ins and outs of it, but we got free parking on Saturday and Sundays, and apparently there was free parking after 6 PM on Wednesday. At least, that's what I was told why we were charged for two hours rather than four that evening. We've also been told that you can park at the free Table Mesa parking garage and take the bus here. It's just you'd need to buy a bus pass if you're not a student. I was visiting CU and got SUPER excited to see a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory here. RMCF was founded and first opened in Colorado by a man from California, they're known for their chocolate, chocolate-dipped treats (marshmallows, strawberries, now coco bombs), and how I discovered my love of dipped apples. Also, because our closest location closed during the pandemic, this is the first time I've seen one in a while. Apples aren't quite as crisp as I'm used to, but I found them relatively fresh and I would definitely recommend picking one as a treat. read more

1. Walked into the store and immediately saw one of the people sitting on a counter in the back. If you are working here that is not the place I would be sitting. Where you either make or prep food. Disgusting. 2. As we approached the counter none, there were 3, of the people behind the counter acknowledged there were customers. It felt as if we were to interrupt their conversation it would have been a nuisance. We have been here multiple time and never had such an issue. Family was In town and we wanted some after dinner sweets. read more

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - Chocolate and laziness - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

When I crave chocolate and pass by a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory I'm going in! There's not a time that I passed by one and not go in the store! I just love their chocolate. My favorite chocolate is English Toffee whether it's dark or milk chocolate! I also got the chocolate covered strawberries which is a hit every time. The girl at the front is very sweet and friendly. I really love that each chocolate factory I go into whether it's in Colorado or California the taste of their chocolate is exactly the same! Very consistent. Very delectable! This one is located on Pearl Street which I consider an outside mall. There are street parking everywhere but you have to pay a meter. There's also a public parking lot. And I have to say it's quite cheap since I come from California and almost everything is expensive. So parking is A+! read more

I LOVE the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory!!!! So many chocolatey treats to choose from! I came here a few months ago with some friends to pick out some Christmas treats. Their selection is so big, lots and lots of different chocolate treats and candies to choose from. I must admit when I visited this particular location I didn't actually try anything, but I must say their chocolate dipped apples looked to die for. The scent in this store made my nostrils do backflips, the wafts of freshly made chocolate and caramel in the air smelt irresistible. The friends I was with purchased many items from the store, and they were really pleased with their selection! From a service and hospitability standpoint, everyone that works here is super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend coming down to this Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to get your sweet tooth cravings fulfilled! read more

Visited the boulder location and got some specialty items for friends and family. They helped me out with all the amazing choices. Mainly purchased truffles and pecan bear claws. Hands down the chocolates are superior at Rocky. Great customer service. read more

We were in Boulder for a couple days and kept going back to RMCF. The Snickers caramel apple was our favorite!! It tasted like an actual Snickers and the apple was nice, fresh and crunchy. I'd recommend getting the apple sliced up. It makes it so much easier to eat and enjoy. It can get a little pricey ($20 for 2 apples) but they are so worth it! read more

If you walk thru Pearl St (something you must do in Boulder) then a pit stop to RMCF is a MUST TRY! Death by Chocolate ice cream and Funky Donkey ice cream were absolutely incredible. Friendly staff and clean lil shop. EXCELLENT way to end our night in Boulder. read more

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Low grade chocolate, the prices are marked up an insane amount above cost to produce. The employees are paid minimum wage, are not trained, and are treated as cattle and it shows. I spoke to some of them, and the job apparently lists at around $17 p/h, but in reality the wage is $12.50 p/h, and the owner is including tips in the job posting. But, the owner also refuses to pay out tips to employees she doesn't like. She also refuses to terminate employees, but instead cuts their hours until they're forced to quite. I like chocolate and sweets, but I'd just assume eat a snickers than ever visit this place. That owner operates the pearl location and the one in flatirons crossing, avoid at all cost if you believe in employees being treated with respect. read more

Poor quality chocolate, artificial flavors, and falsely advertised fillings. I got two jelly milk chocolate sticks, one orange and one raspberry. The chocolate was cheap chocolate, the orange was better than the raspberry, but they were so artificial in flavor (especially the raspberry) that I found them inedible. As for the Coco Loco, this was supposed to have a creamy coco loco filling as advertised, but all it had was shaved coconut... so not creamy, not coco loco flavor. It was like a small Almond Joy except you just paid $2 for it. read more

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - Not as advertised: not a creamy coco loco filling, just shaved coconut - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Yes yes yes yes! I always need an Avalanche Bark fix when I am in town. Great taste chocolate and a lot of hand crafted goods like the apples, fudge, and dipped items. I got a giant chunk of avalanche bark and a pecan pretzel stick. I highly recommend checking this place out if you have a bit of a sweet tooth like me or if you're a fan of caramel apples which is a nice mix of refreshing and sweetness. The store front and scent of this place is extremely appealing, I have no idea how someone can walk by the front and not be incited to get a little something. read more

I live across the country and I recently placed an order to be delivered and it was handled with friendliness, swiftness and grace. I couldn't be happier! read more

This place is sooooo good. I mainly come in here for the decadent apples. Over a 4 day vacation I tried the apple pie apple (twice), the rocky road, the black forest, and the avalanche flavors. I'd recommend the rocky road and apple pie flavors the most and the black forest apple least. My friends bought fudge and other assorted candy. Id say about 80% of what we got was great. A few of the treats were a bit too sticky and sweet for my liking , but such is the nature of a chocolate factory I guess. Get the apples. read more

No matter how many times I try their chocolate (and I try it often, since it's smack-dab in the middle of the mall, where I tend to lay around in the summer reading) I always find it sort of blah, and way overpriced. Recently, they raised their prices even more! I went in to buy one piece of chocolate - it was a little caramel-filled chocolate ball or something - and the register rang up two seventy-something! I told the checkout girl never mind, and normally I'm way too nonconfrontational to do something like that - normally I just pay for the damn thing and go away mumbling - but there was absolutely no way I was going to pay practically three dollars for a tiny caramel ball that tastes like the 35 cent Lindt ones you see in Jones Drug. Save your money, treat your taste buds, and go to Belvedere down the block. read more

Ok, not the best tasting chocolate. But the store does have some notable mentions. I tried 3 dipped marshmallows: One dipped in caramel, one dipped in chocolate and graham cracker crust (smore), and one dipped in generous oreo crumbles. The smore was a snore, but the other two were actually ok. We also bought chocolate covered potato chips. They had ridges, so you know what kind thems was. We felt like there was something missing...could be that the chip wasn't salty enough to create that perfect ratio of salty and sweet. But, it left enough impression for me to want to experiment a chocolate covered potato chip recipe back at home. read more

Quite satisfying ice cream experience. I came on a rainy day, had a two scoops, one brownie one coffee with caramel chunk on a waffle cone. The scoop is quite huge. Haha, it took me like 5 minutes to finish. read more

We really got around today! Mum wanted to bring back a treat for the office so we ducked in here to pick up a box or caramels. That is probably my fav thing in the store. Just the perfect amount of vanilla flavoring - delish! Agree that the prices are steep but not too bad if you are picking up a little treat. The caramel covered apples are great and they will slice them for you. The best part of today was the sweet, polite employee who was very helpful and patient as we made our final selection. read more

The gal who was working this afternoon is in the wrong industry. She definitely does not like working or maybe working here. She needs some training on how to smile and simply be pleasant. I was with someone from out of town and we were the only ones in the store and walked out and both said, oh my. read more

Got a scoop of ice cream from here and it was perfect for wandering the streets on a warm evenings. I had the cookies and cream. It was tasty but is VERY SWEET so make sure to have water available. read more

Terrible! My husband and I went for some ice cream. The lady charged me double the price and told me it was because I got two two scoop ice creams. When I explained it was only one scoop each she then charged me more for one scoop than one scoop at normal cost. Unbelievable! Not to mention she was incredibly rude and did not work to help remedy the situation. I guess they can have one star- only because the ice cream was good. But overall... terrible experience. read more

Very nice for an expensive, but yummy and small treat during a walk on the mall!

My family had a really unpleasant experience there because of one awful staff member who was rude and sarcastic to other employees, and to us. When my 6 year old daughter thanked me with great enthusiasm for buying her chocolate he even we so far as to tell her with a lot of cynicism, "I wouldn't thank her thank much. It's just a piece of chocolate." I was surprised and unhappy. On top of it all the caramel apple we bought was stale. read more

I tried some truffles. The taste was OK. But all I want to say is that the price is Extremely HIGH! It wasn't worth it at all! I would rather have Lindt at some grocery store. It would be much better and worthy. read more

Living in Boulder I love to stop in here for a treat, but when planning our wedding the number of guests with gluten allergies got us to think beyond a cake. Jessica and her team put together lovely platters of toffee, salted caramel, and truffles for our special day. It was awesome. When we set out the chocolates our guests literally swarmed around the table. In hindsight my only regret was not buying more! read more
