We tried the white fudge with peppermint today and it was so festive. You can't go wrong with pretty much any chocolate treats here, like their pecan or cashew "tuttles" or toffee, if you don't have any nut allergies. The ice cream is rich and creamy and a nice ending to a meal at any of the great restaurants nearby. The gals working here during my visit were super sweet and grateful for our business. I appreciate the pre-wrapped boxes for gift-giving, especially during holidays.

I've looked at it plenty of times previously, but finally decided to buy something, I was really craving sweets. They have quite a variety of chocolates- cookies, bars, matcha, nuts, chips and more. We purchased the chocolate covered potato chips and a milk chocolate bar. Both were delicious. The chips were not too salty but still crispy. I was impressed. The chocolate is so silky smooth and not overly sweet like most milk chocolate bars in the world US. The employee was super nice and apologized like five times for the wait, even though I didn't think it was too long. The customer ahead of us was purchasing quite a lot for gifts so I think he thought he was taking too long to assist her. Either way, great experience overall. I'm tempted to set a reminder to myself for next year to buy the advent calendar!

Loveeeee this cute little chocolate shop located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace!…read more First off I want to say the staff here is incredible. Lindsey was beyond personable, helpful, and friendly. She was great at explaining their chocolate. Their chocolate here is superb. It's so different, unique, and quality. The chocolate chip potato chips are absolutely delicious. What differentiates them is their international chocolate that you cannot find anywhere else! Their truffles fell apart in my mouth - incredibly delicious. Everything is fairly priced for the quality, too. I will 100% come back here again. This is the perfect spot to get some chocolate for an anniversary, birthday, or any special occasion for somebody else. Love Royce!

The chocolate (fudge) frosting on the donuts is delicious. Both cake and yeast donuts are great choices. The Bavarian cream is a welcome treat and there is a rotating donut flavor of the week. It's actually a chocolate shop and the chocolate didn't disappoint. There is a wide variety and both the fillings and chocolates themselves are creamy and flavorful. I've gone back multiple times. The service is also very friendly. While you pay a bit of a premium, it's worth it for the quality.

I've learned of this place from my realtor, of all people. When she brought a box of donuts from…read moreMorkes, we knew the place had to have solid mission and pride for their products. My wife and I had always wanted to visit them ever since then and we finally did after about 10 months. The place was small and charming with lots of neeat chocolate creations, as one would expect. We sampled a couple different chocolate pieces and as far as I can tell, they were good. I say that only because I'm not a huge chocolate person, and I don't have a huge gauge on what's good vs great. Since our main purpose of the visit was for donuts, we went ahead and orderes half dozen "premium" donuts. Turns out, the box that was gifted to us was a custom mix of their premium selections, which are fancier donut creations that require a bit more finesse and efforts for them to create. Apparently, you need to order ahead if you want to have a good mix of a dozen, which we didn't know. So we ended up picking from the available ones. They were still a good variety. I don't actively seek out donuts, but if I craved one, I'd definitely seek out Morkes.

They sell boxes of four, nine, and sixteen, any of which would serve as a nice gift for various occasions.

There are traditional western varieties such as hazelnut, praline, coffee, and vanilla, as well as fruity options and other Filipino-inspired flavors. I'm happy to support a local business and will definitely be using them again for future gift-giving occasions.

I usually get their Brie & Prosciutto Croissant which is delicious! Lately I've discovered another favorite.. Strawberry Belgian Waffle. It is SO GOOD! Their waffle mixture is just so delicious I really can't get enough of it :) I typically go with a cappuccino or a regular coffee. Today's coffee didn't taste very fresh though. My friend got an omelette, which she enjoyed. The service...that is the one thing that still needs improvement. I've already shared my feedback with the manager a few weeks back regarding one certain employee who is unfortunately very unfriendly and straight up rude. The manager knew exactly who I'm referring to and was supposed to "address it", however when I was there last week the girl was still there and her attitude/behavior seemed unchanged. Other girls working there are very nice and friendly though! Easy street parking! I will be back!

Being that it's winter I have to wash our jackets immediately after to rid the smell. I haven't seen many reviews that mention it though, do others not notice it? I am embarrassed to go to other stores or activities afterwards. Sometimes when we go inside the cafe the air is thick and cloudy. Unfortunately this is my daughter's favorite spot, and I can't deny that the food, drinks, and chocolates are great which are mentioned in detail in everyone else's reviews. Service is hit or miss depending on who's working but can generally expect it to be cold. However, all the people who work there work extremely hard in a tight space to take orders and cook. Perhaps they aren't trying to be rude but are just busy. I do want to recommend the tomato and basil soup. It's so good and comes with a delicious cheese toast. It's the best when the cheese is melted off the bread and crispy! You can get an extra cheese toast for $2.

It was a pretty chilly morning, so I was definitely in the mood for a cup of hot coffee. Around Cafe is one of many shops around the station, which makes it very convenient. I can see myself becoming a regular if I lived in the area and had to take the train into Chicago for work. It's a nice little mom-n-pop store that's set up nice and cozy. I had a cup of espresso matcha latte, which was exactly what it sounded like. Definitely hit the spot for me. The place probably had maybe 5 to 7 tables for seating and most of them were occupied despite it being pretty early. Lady baristas were all very nice and lively, which made the atmosphere nice also. This was my one and only visit, so I don't like to settle on a verdict yet, but if I'm in the area, I can see myself visiting in the future.

What an awesome, full featured confectionery shop. The prices aren't cheap but you can tell with…read moreevery bite that you're getting delicious, high quality treats. The decor in here is super cute, with all the different products being displayed in an organized and attractive manner. This alone makes this a more fun shopping experience than buying candy from a standard grocery store. At times, it may be difficult to determine the price of different items, but the staff is very helpful with helping shoppers navigate their way around the store. There is definitely something for everyone here, but this is especially good if you are a chocolate lover as there's a very wide assortment of available options here. This is particularly true if you're into truffles, with some interesting options such as jalapeno margarita, tiramisu, rum, and others in addition to the usual selection of fruit, coffee, caramel, etc. flavors. This is also a great spot to get interesting looking gifts. Outside of the usual gift boxes and tins, you'll find chocolate in fun shapes (like birthday cake), seasonal confection options with cute decorations, pretzels, nuts, chocolate pops, gummies, and more. Overall, this is a great place to shop for delicious sweets and competitive in price to other premium candy shops. If you're looking for something unique in both design and flavor, definitely come here versus going to a chain store.
