Chocolate House is THE spot to satisfy your sweet tooth. Yeah, you might feel an onset of type 2…read morediabetes coming on when you read the menu... but life is too short. EAT THAT TREAT. They have dessert crepes, waffles, shakes, churros, cakes, sundaes, chocolate dips, etc. Whatever you're craving, they most likely have it. I ordered the S'mores crepe ($10.99) which included nutella, graham cookies, and marshmallows. The prices do seem high for a dessert, but the portion sizes are fairly large. You could easily split it between two people. I'm a big back at heart, so I can finish it all by myself ;) The crepe was heavennnnn sent omg. The employees are always friendly and work quickly. They make everything fresh on the spot, so depending on how busy it is, you may have a bit of a wait. This location doesn't have much seating and is pretty small, so it's more of a take out spot. It's also street parking on a very busy street in Paterson. Don't lose your mind, just think about the desserts.

We got to select the chocolate designs the kids would be "painting", then filling with chocolate, and then of course later eating.

If you're looking to host a bday, this is a great idea and venue to strongly consider! Thank you to Kate and her staff in helping my daughter and her friends have a memorable day!

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Lots of variety and delicious homemade chocolates to choose from behind the counter - too many to mention - but there's a hugeeeeee assortment of milk, white and dark chocolates. + Approximately $27/lb (as of February 2026) depending on the size of assorted chocolates box you want to purchase. 1lb is about 30+ pieces of chocolate, which is PLENTY to enjoy!! + There are plenty of prepackaged chocolate boxes/packs to choose from too. + Chocolate sampling seems to be allowed here, if you choose to do so. + Private parking lot to the side, which is greatly appreciated in this busy area of River Edge. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Was preeeetttty busy the day before Valentine's Day 2026. Parking lot was packed, but there were still plenty of chocolates to add to a box from behind the counter. Prepackaged items were running low though.

I've shopped at Critchley's several times since moving to Oradell and have always loved supporting…read morewhat I believed was a local, homemade chocolate shop. That's why I recently spent nearly $70 on chocolate roses to give as gifts. When I got home, I realized they were actually made by Madelaine Chocolate Company -- a brand sold on Amazon -- not made in-house. Even more disappointing, a Critchley's sticker had been placed over the original branding, which made it appear they were their own product. After tasting one, it definitely didn't resemble the quality of their homemade chocolate. It tasted like a mass-produced bar. Had I known they weren't made by Critchley's, I would not have purchased them -- especially in that quantity. Transparency matters, especially when customers are intentionally choosing to support local. Gave two stars because the chocolates that they DO make are good. Really disappointing experience. Hoping they address this.

From what I saw, if you can't find your sweet desire here, you don't need it. They also take pride in making their chocolate on premises. During this visit, I purchased raspberry and rum cream chocolates. Every chocolate was heavenly and I should have purchased fifty more. The staff maintains the store very clean, wear plastic gloves when selecting your choices, and the prices are reasonable. Don't hesitate to visit Meyer's and I'll hedge, that you won't leave the store without a sweet purchase.

They were insanely fresh, perfectly ripe, and dipped in silky, high quality chocolate that had that clean snap and melt that only true chocolatiers get right. You could taste the craftsmanship. The staff made the experience even better. Warm, patient, and genuinely welcoming even during the holiday rush. No attitude, no chaos, just great service and positive energy. It is a little tricky to find if you are not familiar with the area, but once you walk in, you immediately get those chocolate boutique vibes. Elegant displays, rich aromas, and that cozy, upscale feel that makes you want to try one of everything. Overpriced or not, it felt like a treat worth indulging in. Definitely worth the trip.

They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with. We sat at one of the little tables on the sidewalk outside since the weather was nice. I will be back if I am in the area and in the mood for a sweet treat!

But worth it once in a while. And they have a bathroom in the back!
