This is hands down my favorite gourmet chocolate store. We travel annually to CO for our family ski trip and I always come to Vail to buy this goodness! My top favorite is the Dark chocolate smores cluster! The dark chocolate is so rich and out of this world. You can't stop once you take a bite. I also order dark chocolate pecan cluster for my husband coz he loves pecan. I get milk chocolate clusters at time but I'm not crazy about it compared to their dark chocolate. I highly recommend Rocky Mountain if you are into chocolates. The service is phenomenal and the ambiance is casual and very welcoming! read more

It's not a chocolate shop you would go out of your way for but if you have a sweet Roth in Vail it will work and is a nice place to grab something after a day of skiing. Pricey for what you get but seems in line with other vail establishments. read more

Dark chocolate cherries are also crap as well as everything we tried last year. I didn't try ice cream because mint chip was chemical green, which is always a bad sign. read more

Paid $20 and change total for 2 probably 4oz each pieces of fudge. They were small, stale and crunchy. Not sure why my "handcrafted chocolates" were multiple days old had no chew to them. Disappointed, pass!! read more

If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to go. So what about prices. Enjoy. You're in Vail.

Definitely mediocre chocolate at a very high price. I mean, I get it. It's Vail, but give me a break. Half of the things I got were super super stale, almost inedible. I got about 20 dollars worth of chocolate just to have during my road trip. The chocolate covered s'mores was the most stale of all and I'm pretty sure it was the most expensive. The chocolate and caramel covered marshmallow wasn't my favorite. It had a very weird texture and flavor. The m&m bark was alright but the chocolate wasn't that tasty. Overall, I'd steer clear unless you ask for whatever is fresh or made very recently. The worker was very nice and helped us with all our questions. It's just not the best chocolate, I'd skip this place. read more

Love love the caramel apple. Just basic. The contrast of the tart green apple and sweet gooey caramel hits home. The truffles and candies were ok, wouldn't buy again. Apple only !!!! read more

Was visiting on vacation and was so excited to find individual vanilla creme to purchase- I bought SIX of them (Not a cheap endeavor but they were a gift) I get home to find out only ONE is vanilla and the rest are completely different and contain peanuts. Mind you the recipient has a NUT ALLERGY!! I watched the lady pick them from the same spot in the case too. Very disappointed. Hope no one goes through this same thing. Please check each chocolate you get to make sure they look correct. My mistake for not doing that I guess: ( read more

I love Rocky Mountain Chocolates and made good use of this location during my week stay. I bought several candy apples, milk and dark chocolate bear claws, nut clusters, several bags of chocolate caramel corn and a couple of pounds of orange sticks. Everything was very fresh and taste great. The store was clean and the staff was fast and friendly. read more

Standard hot chocolate from a machine. They overcharge more than their listed price and then short changed me on my change. In the end my son's hot chocolate with marshmallows cost me $8.80. FYI it is listed on their wall at $5.90. read more

I wanted to compliment the amazing service by Kurt! He was so friendly from the second we walked in, he made recommendations and got to know us. Thanks for the friendly service Kurt, we hope to run into you again! read more

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

Very delicious ice cream -- so many yummy flavors. Good service. Strawberry flavor is very good.

Average quality desserts, something you'd get in every mall or tourist destination. Nothing special. Honestly I think this place gets so much business that the staff just doesn't care for customers. They are not rude or mean, just busy hangout amongst themselves unless a customer calls for them. It's a kid friendly place with teens working the counter. We visit a lot of similar type businesses. This is no different. Your little ones will love it... lol. read more

How about them apples?! Love um here and grab one every time I see a Rocky M when we travel. I'm also a fan of the huge peanut butter cups!

I took two bites before taking a picture. My only solution was to smooth out the top so it looks like it hadn't been touched. Either way, the ice cream is great! The French girl behind the counter was also friendly. read more

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - Can u guess the flavor? - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Vail, Colorado

Horrible gross chocolates. Tasted like they've been sitting for years.... Would not ever go back

I'm basically giving this place because of their hot chocolate! It was one of the best I have tasted. Although he warned it's on the heavy side, make sure you have water afterwards. The place seem to serve everything sweet from chocolates to ice cream. Caveat: it was raining that day which might biased my ratings. I give the hot chocolate 9/10 read more

Quality was a miss. Chocolate tasted pretty stale - threw it away.... (Staff was very friendly though!).

Really really great ice cream!! I had the bunny tracks Ice cream (yum!!) in a waffle cone which was dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles!! So good!! read more

Not sure what the 3 star deal is but my teen daughters brought me selections from here 3 days straight and all yum! Salted Carmel milk chocolate my fave, haystack, Oreo chocolate, coffee filled, variety of coated apples all fresh and tasty, caramel marshmallow bar. Good evening post ski treats! read more

The ice cream and chocolate are great! The service is terrible. There was a woman with long brown hair and she was extremely rude to my children and me. To have a bad attitude and work in a candy store, being annoyed by children is just ridiculous. Find a job elsewhere. Our experience was less than ideal due to the rude staff. This was our only stop in vail passing through from Steamboat to Denver. read more

We love the apples. The guy that was there was really nice, but on the second day when we came to get apples the lady served us and she was really rude and overcharged us for the same apple. We questioned it and she retorted that it was correct. Not pleased. We will not buy when she is there next time. read more

I usually veer from leaving bad reviews but I've got to say the young guy working here was one of the rudest people I've ever dealt with. I work in customer service and have for 7 years and I understand working around tourists 24/7 can be tough. But I try very hard to be nice to people in the industry because I do understand and this kid was so unpleasant. He had an attitude from the get go, I made sure to say please and thank you, never got a you're welcome. When I had a question about a flavor he rolled his eyes and answered with an attitude like I was stupid. He also gave me the wrong Carmel apple and when I came back to switch it he tried saying I ordered the wrong apple... okay sure. After walking out and walking around for 10 minutes I realized I lost my ID which was with the credit card I used to pay here, so I walked back in and asked him if anyone had turned an ID in. He looked at me like I was an idiot for about 10 seconds then again with the attitude replied "uhm no?" I don't understand how you can be so unhappy living in such a beautiful city, especially when people are trying to be nice to you, but I would not come back here. read more

Awesome place of RMCF to get all your chocolate delights. RMCF can be found all across Colorado! My first indulenge of chocolates from RMCF. Went there on October 15 2007 evening after checking in at one of the hotels in Vail. Would love to get more chocolates from RMCF for parties and gifts for the family I love. read more

Yes!!! Loved it. Excellent quality and easily packable boxes to bring home for gifts. The special little treats taste like Love! read more

My family comes here every summer because we love their ice cream and the cute shop. Tonight, however, the employees were unbelievably rude, dismissive, and aggressive toward us. We went into to get ice cream and one of the employees was so mean to my sister that she was too afraid to complete her order. This is by far some of the worst costumer service I've ever experienced. I love this shop, but will not tolerate being harassed by these two employees ever again. June 29, 2020. 8:30pm read more

oh my gosh. If you're a chocoholic you NEED to check this place out. Literally chocolate lovers heaven. Although it was 4° outside I got the chocolate ice cream in a chocolate and oreo cone. Both the come and the ice cream were heavenly. We got an avalanche bark apple to go. I feel like the avalanche bark is probably the best thing this place has to offer. Crunchy, gooey, chocolatey goodness all in one bite. If you're not a fan of apples they have it in a bar form. I would highly highly recommend trying anything with the avalanche bark. read more

Today we came into have some chocolate and the lady behind the counter who is about 5 foot seven, Caucasian with brown straight hair treated another customer (a very nice teenager) just simply terrible. It was embarrassing to witness. I was helped by another employee getting a dozen chocolate covered apples. When she asked my friend if she could help her my friend told her that that was very rude and unacceptable how she treated that teenager. The lady went off and was very upset with my friend and told her how she felt. Unacceptable. I cancelled my order and told my friend let's go. The lady behind the counter mumbled under her breath and then told us to fuck off. I told her to stop as we closed the door. Go somewhere else for a treat. It's not worth it. Very juvenile employees. read more

Great treats! My favorites are the caramel apples. I prefer old school with the double caramel but they all look awesome. They'll even slice it to go. The apples have always been perfectly crisp. Free treats for pups too! Suggestion: Forget the single caramel apple (the double caramel can't be beat) and replace it with a salted burnt caramel. read more

Do not support this business. Today, I witnessed a Latino couple that I did not know treated so horribly. The couple had a 1 y/o baby girl and the woman checking them out was extremely rude. First, she told the dad he absolutely could not pick 2 flavors of ice cream in his scoop (there are nice was to say this but the woman was militant in her response), then the mom asked to switch her flavor of chocolate (she never touched the chocolate, it was in the countertop in a bag) and the woman said they don't do exchanges, then the mom went to sign the cc receipt and she demanded she keep her fingertips on the other side of the plexiglass that was still up from Covid. This was RACISM. Honestly I've never seen anything like it. I asked to speak to the manager and the woman snarked at me that she was the manager. Her name is Emily. Needless to say, I lost my appetite and did not buy anything for my family. The couple thanked me on their way out for saying something. I told my 7 year old I was with to always do the right thing and stand up for people. This manager, Emily, is such a poor representation of America. At least my 7 year old learned a life lesson. read more

Wow! I had a chocolate covered rice crispy and it was amazing! Half was milk chocolate and the other half was white chocolate and everything about it was excellent! Wasn't cheap but what do you expect at Vail was very equivalent to other places around prices read more

Glad to see they finally changed the time to 9:00 pm instead of showing a sign way down below on the window it should now be clear to people who want to go to this place so they don't lock the door in your face a few minutes before 9:00 which they did anyway. I have to agree with the other yelp customers it is a sad day when the employees do not want to work there because they already have 3 jobs and nothing left to give the customer but a nasty, bully, attitude. All they want to do is go home so they take it out on their clients. I think if they would just be nice and say we have to make the bus time or they won't make it home then people would understand but instead they just turn into pure nasty energy which our world does not need more of we need happy, supportive, caring people who serve ice cream and chocolate it is suppose to be a "Happy Business" I was treated rudely by two individuals there and I will never be back even if the ice cream and chocolate is good. Retail is not an easy business. They either need to shape up or ship out...as they say get out of the kitchen if it is too hot for you it is never worth it in the long run. They could do a smashing business here if they tweaked a few things including hiring the right staff or paying them more. Summer is over and they may or may not have a winter season as there are no guarantees. I hope so to give them another chance to operate a Happy Business and create a win win situation for everyone. read more

AWFUL SERVICE!!! I am visiting vail from Florida and it was my first trip to a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, the lady working there with long hair making the caramel apples was PURE EVIL. I told her of an allergy I was concerned about and she said she doesn't know what's in her chocolate and she'd have to look in her book. I said okay would you be so kind and she said I'm busy I don't have time and my employees wouldn't know how to either. ZERO stars. I can see why this place has bad reviews and many mentioning awful, rude customer service. read more

It says they closed at 10, I showed up at 9:05 and they had closed early. Total crap and they wouldn't open back up. Won't be returning.

We were excited to get some chocolate for my family last night. My son and I can't have gluten but many times places offer GF options. So we all went in excited to see what they had. A girl asked if she could help us and I asked her what GF options they had. She kind of chuckled and said "Gluten Free? Isn't that bread, as you can see, none of our chocolate has bread on it so it's all gluten free". So I said to her that there are Oreo dipped chocolates over there and graham crackers dipped, those aren't gluten free. I said that See's candy is gluten free but not all chocolate and candy is. She said very rudely "well you should know if you can eat chocolate or not, do you eat chocolate ma'am?" I said that I do if I know if it's Gluten Free first because I have an allergy. Then she says rudely "well I have no clue and you can go look it up online" At this point I didn't want to spend a single dollar at that store. That girl was so incredibly insensitive to our allergy, my son is only 12 and felt sad she couldn't and wouldn't tell us. Don't go into this store if you have any allergies or want kind service!! RUDE RUDE RUDE! read more

I don't know if the 2 ladies working in this shop were just having a bad day, but they were super unfriendly. The Chocolate was good, as usual, it's chocolate. Not great for a shop that depends on tourism, and you would think they would be trying harder during this COVID summer to keep business up. read more

I'm really kicking myself for not trying the chocolate dipped twinkie. Now I'm going to be calling every other location in the Denver metro area looking for this. RMCF is my preferred chocolate dealer. Now if I could call them at 2am to get my hook up I'd be dialed and high off the chocolaty goodness. Walking in Vail village many people were walking along the cobblestone with cones in hand. We started heading to a deli for ice cream and were were advised that RMCF was the place to go for the creamy goodness. The Iced cappuccino truffle was excellent, and I wish I had ordered a snowball and Kahlua truffle to go. My father appeared to back to being 6 as he walked out with his double scoop of choc chip cookie dough ice cream in a huge waffle cone that was dipped in chocolate. Minty doggie bones were bought to treat the pooch back home. Minus a star since the staff was rude, acting if they had better things on their agenda then fetching sugary treats. read more

The ice cream is great, but don't you dare get there at 9:31 PM. Never mind that the shop is open till 10 PM, the ice cream case locks down tight at the stroke of 9:30--with attitude. We got ours, but we saw the staff turn away at least 15 people who were hoping for some dairy delights. I guess the profit margins must be higher on the chocolate delicacies. It's a funny way to run a business. read more
