Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you! I received this chocolate as a gift from a client! The chocolate is amazing it was the perfect gift. I will be giving Royce to my clients from now on! read more

It's been years since I've had the boxed chocolate or chips. Because the plane ride is so long from Japan to Hawai'i I usually only get the bars of chocolate or the matcha almonds (which holds up better and usually won't melt). But the plane ride from California is shorter so I could purchase some of the boxes ( both liquor and non liquor). I'm a happy camper. The sales women were helpful and packed them with little bags of ice. When we came home they were in perfect condition. Maybe next time I'll also get the chocolate dipped chips. read more

Very helpful and nice gifts. Beautiful displays, great selection of all kinds of confections.

No Royce chocolate in San Diego, so stop by since I was in the area ! My first time having Royce chocolate was in Vegas so I definitely had to pick up some ! Unfortunately they were low stock and late shipment for their Nama chocolates. There was only the matcha and champagne flavor. Decided to go with the matcha flavor. It was super good. This location also carries mochi! read more

See all

Royce is pretty high quality chocolate! I'm not gonna lie I was impressed by how rich and balance of sweetness it was. The service was questionable. Service came off rude, my card couldn't go through because of fraud suspicion and went it didn't go through, the cashier's mood turned 180 and just yelled out loud how it was declined to us thinking we were going to give her a hard time. It wasn't even that serious but she made it like it was. We settled it and paid for it after she rudely said that, but wow. Not a good way to respond to your customers. read more

My friend introduced me to ROYCE after he tried it on a trip to Japan and raved about how amazing it was. I went with one of their chocolate bars and liked the flavor and texture. Very smooth and I liked that they weren't loaded with hard to pronounce ingredients that were suspect. I always feel this is a bar that you savor, versus scarf down, which doesn't make me feel as guilty spending $8 on a bar or two. The Costa Mesa location is connected to J-Sweets in Mitsuwa Market. The ROYCE chocolates will be on the far left of the shop in their own section. Once you have made your choices, you bring them to the counter and purchase. The clerks aren't rude, but I would say they are reserved and quiet. You do have to prompt them if you want to try something, depending on who you get as a clerk. (I did have one that was kind to throw one in because I spent a lot on chocolate for gifts.) They make great gifts for people. read more

My favorite chocolates in Japan. I've gotten different items from the store from here, NYC and Japan and they're consistently great. The most famous is the fudge like chocolate (macha). It requires a ice pack and they're absolutely wonderful. Great for gifts. read more

Strawberry flavored are my teenagers's favorite treats , the location is a good family and college kid hangout for foods and shopping...

Fun little chocolate shop in Costa Mesa. Got my girlfriend's mom some chocolate here for her birthday. Friendly customer service. read more

ROYCE Chocolate - hand holding a package of chocolate - Candy Stores Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

ROYCE chocolates has been a favorite of mine from a long time ago. I was introduced to them many years before they even made it outside of Japan. Back then, I had to get these specialty chocolates when I or someone visited Japan. Now they're a lot more accessible in the U.S. I recently stopped in at the Royce counter in the Mitsuwa market in Costa Mesa. Looking at the receipt, it was on April 20, 2022 around 1pm. I found what I was looking for and made my purchase. However, this time my shopping experience was rather unpleasant. The cashier placed my chocolate in a small plastic Royce bag and taped it closed. I noticed that she just used some plain scotch tape so I asked if I could have the "Royce" sticker instead. I wondered if they were out of the stickers but she pulled out a sheet of stickers that appeared to have around 20 stickers. I shop at Royce enough to know how they package your purchases so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask since all my previous purchases at this location and other locations (such as Torrance, Arcadia, New York) have been handled properly. And since I was going to give the chocolate to someone, I thought this would be more presentable. I just expected the cashier to carefully peel off the scotch tape from the plastic bag and replace it with the "Royce" sticker. But she removed the chocolate from the bag and crumpled the bag (in a somewhat violent manner) in front of me and threw it in the trash as if she wanted to indicate that she was not happy with my request. I even tried to say it was OK to use the same bag but it all happened so fast. It was definitely an unpleasant interaction. Then she handed me the chocolate and I had to ask for a paper bag (which I know they have) so I wouldn't have to hold the chocolate in my hands (the plastic bag is like a sleeve and doesn't have handles). I felt she reluctantly gave me the paper bag which I also thought was strange. Again, this was not something I had to ask for when I shopped at Royce on previous occasions at any of the Royce locations I've been to in the U.S. I was at Mitsuwa market about 10 days ago and would have stopped at Royce. But because of the last experience I had, I felt like I should avoid it since I could still remember the bad experience I had there. I guess I'll have to shop at the Torrance location the next time I want Royce. read more

WOW. Stay far away from this location. What is the deal with being so rude to your customers who are here to patronize your store. ROYCE please do better in hiring staff are friendly, kind and professional. This is totally unacceptable. I've been to many Royce locations and have spent a pretty penny purchasing large amount of boxes of chocolates to give out as gifts and have had the most wonderful experience. I can't say the same for the Costa Mesa location. The staff at this location seriously need a training course on customer service and attitude adjustment. Second tip would be to fire them because they are definitely not representing the brand in a good light. read more

Been coming here for awhile. Worth the money. Bit expensive but definitely tasty. My mom loves macha chocolate. 18 dollars per box. Great for gift. read more

Hidden within the supermarket is a store called J.sweets. Great customer service, fast and friendly. Usually it's $18 per box, and is provided with a insulated bag. As soon as you get home please place it in the refrigerator. High quality taste and richness. It's so good as it just melts in your mouth. From time to time this is most definitely a place to visit. read more

ROYCE is my favorite chocolate ever, and when I give these to my loved ones as a gift, they always go locooooo. However, this location doesn't have exceptional customer service like the Irvine location. The workers at the counter sometimes seem hesitant to give you samples, which is annoying. If I'm paying such a premium for expensive chocolates, I prefer going to the Irvine one for a guaranteed good experience. read more
