    Chocolate box
    Hank C.

    A chocolate and gelato cafe, they are a popular treat as they're the only real shop in the mall for desserts like this (a rolled ice cream shop probably would do well?), so little kids and adults line up. While you wait your turn, you can peruse the gift chocolates or the pack-by-piece ($13.50 a pound about) as well as chocolate bars of all kinds of sizes, and you pay at the counter. They also have some coffee and other drinks available in case you need a kick start. Staff was friendly, came to check on the items. The box set that looks like a book is cool, but the pieces do move around inside (the sample one had chocolate all a-kimbo and didn't look that good inside, though the outside was a cool container). No seating, go outside to the shared common space otherwise. Will see how they do once the Eataly opens up, but they are a bit expensive so it's a once-in-a-while treat. Cone or cup, choices.

    Located in the Short Hills Mall in New Jersey a very upscale shopping mall it's like walking down 5th Avenue just inside a mall. Venchi has gelato and fine Chocolates this location they have a very small store I didn't try the gelato but there was a long line for it. I did buy some chocolates they are very pricey but very very good. They test there raw materials to ensure they meet high standards. If you love chocolate like me this is a must try.

    Probably one of the best gelato spots I've been too. It's truly delicious! Their chocolate is amazing! Plenty of choco bars in the store that you can buy as well. We went there with a family so were able to try a few different flavors. Service is great! The interior decor is really cute although there is no sit down place. Highly recommended to try!

    After trying Venchi off of Union Square in the city, I was excited to check this one out. It is definitely much smaller and doesn't have the same aesthetic but the gelato was still good. I went with the dairy free option this time and they did not disappoint. The one difference I did notice that the gelato that as soft and it made it hard for the employee to scoop it out. It was almost too frozen. It also made it hard to eat from the cone without it toppling over, but thankfully they gave me a cup. You get to pick your choice of chocolate (milk or dark) that they usually place on top, but because it was too frozen, they left it on the side for me. The employees were very nice. Overall, it is a bit pricey but good gelato. If you want more an experience, checkout the one in the city.

    I decided to treat my family to some gelato and it was a small fortune, but worth it. The service is great and the gelato is excellent. If it's your first time, they'll ask you what size you want, cone or cup, and if you want chocolate syrup as the base. After paying, they will ask you for the flavors you want. The regular is $8 and you can get up to two flavors. We all enjoyed and it was very decadent. A nice treat!

    The BEST GELATO! Located inside Short Hills Mall- the perfect treat to treat yourself with during a long day of shopping. There's plenty of seating and tables next to Venchi There's usually a long line when I go (for good reason), but this time I managed to be the first one in line. They have the creamiest, most decadent gelato I've ever had! My fave flavor is the tiramisu. They have several size options, but I've found the baby (1 scoop) is more than enough to get a good amount of gelato. You can also customize your scoop by adding nuts, chocolate, etc. So delicious and creamy!! Highly recommend!

    This Venchi couldn't be in a better location. It is nestled inside the Short Hills Mall and always busy. We were in a line, behind 7 other customers, and we could see why. Not only does Venchi provide one of the most creamy gelatos I've ever tasted, but they can also present it in a cup, lined with different sweets/nuts. I don't know any other place that does this. The eatery also has other items for sale (candy, merch, chocolate). If you're in the mall, stop by Venchi. You will enjoy top notch gelato and leave a similar five star review.

    So we were in Short Hills Mall and noticed a huge lien to enter Venchi. Obviously India's to check it out. Super glad I did!!! The very best ice cream I have ever had!! I opted for the baby cup (1 scoop) and it was absolutely perfect! I had the chocolate swirl with vanilla and hazelnut_ don't recall the name (started with a C) AMAZing!! Super rich

    Stumbled upon this place when the grandparents wanted to buy the kids some ice cream. Those kids got a real treat. While we were waiting in line, we got some sample of the milk chocolate spread, it was amazing. The mango gelato was so good that my toddler who normally wants to be fed grabbed the spoon and kept scooping on his own. My brother got the dark chocolate flavor and it was pretty amazing. It's not cheap, a regular cup is pretty small and cost $6.75 but it is quality. As you see the decor is fancy.

    Gelato with fresh chocolate dipped cone
    Saad H.

    The fresh cones dipped in chocolate with the added chocolate pieces make this gelato perfect. Honestly loved the cone more than the actual gelato.

    One of my favorite gelato places. I fell inlovevwith this place while in Italy so was excited to find it here. Great shop with chocolate fountains the wall.

    Good chocolate store in Short Hills Mall. I like their ice cream and coffee. Nice addition for Short Hills Mall. I first saw this company in Italy on vacation couple years ago, Now they are in US. So cool.

    Slow and overpriced. Ordered a 'large' which is three scoops. Guy gave my daughter two scoops and says one of the scoops was big.

    Going into my third year living in Summit I had never ventured into Sweet Nothings. But Friday I…read morewas on the hunt for marbles. Marbles you say? Yes. Why do you want to play Holesies with some 1930's street urchins? Unimportant. But while walking past Sweet Nothings (See? Back on track) I had an epiphany. Gumballs! Marbles more delicious cousin. And definitely easier to chew. I went inside for gumballs. Really cute inside. Candy. It's a candy store. Went to the counter. Woman said, "The Farmer's Market is cancelled on Sunday because of the Nor'easter." Good to know. "I see you at the Farmer's Market I work the (redacted) booth." Very thoughtful right off the bat. Gumballs and other candy available by the pound. Got a couple gumballs. Glass cases full of chocolates. And truffles. Some sold by the piece, some by the pound. Oh the flavors. I got a salted caramel chocolate something. I'm really not doing the flavors justice. So many flavors. I'm going to jump ahead to say everything was scrumptious. This was one of the words the urchins taught me. But I want to share this anecdote. Kid comes in and wants to buy some candy. It's not enough to use a credit card, below their minimum. He doesn't have enough cash. This causes a fight. A fight? Yes. They want him to take it and pay them tomorrow. He doesn't want to take it. They won't let him leave until he does. He reluctantly takes it repeatedly promising he will bring the money tomorrow. They shrug. Shrug I tell you. She tells me, "He's a nice kid he comes in all the time. His brother comes in." This is why you patronize small businesses. They don't do this at CVS. They're not fronting Starbursts at 7-11. Willy Wonka? Don't get me started. Turned my cousin into a strawberry milkshake. Go to Sweet Nothings and buy some candy. You'll be glad you did.

    Nice staff we'll come here again and also a ton of candy. Toys for your children. Chocolate blocks…read morewith various chocolate. And very well designed store.

    I had been wanting to try Liv Breads for so long, especially after all of the amazing reviews I had…read moreread and the positive feedback I had heard from family. I finally made it there the other day and was shocked at how substantial the place was. It was no small bakery, but was a full cafe and gourmet shop as well. Though I did not try their savory sandwiches, breads, salads, or spreads at that time, I did purchase some of their sweets. First, the Chocolate Rugelach were some of the best I have had. The delicate, flaky cookies were like little croissants and were ribboned with a rich chocolate spread. Their version also had hints of vanilla, which I really enjoyed. I also got one of their large Chocolate Chip Cookies, which was thin, but packed with gooey bittersweet and semi-sweet chocolate. It also had a light sprinkling of Maldon sea salt on the top. It was super decadent! Liv Breads exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to revisiting to try many more of their items.

    I have never written a negative review before, which probably says something about how upsetting…read morethis experience was for me. My family and I have been regular customers at Liv Breads in Millburn for the past five or six years. I come here almost every day, often morning and evening, for coffee and breakfast, and my husband gets his coffee here literally every single day. We have always enjoyed the food and coffee and have spent a considerable amount of money supporting this bakery over the years. Even a regular black coffee here costs around $5 plus and when you are buying coffee and breakfast this frequently for years, you are clearly a loyal, paying customer. But what happened today genuinely hurt me. After finishing my coffee, I asked for the usual refill. The person serving me insisted that I bring back my used coffee cup before she would give me the refill. She then specifically told me that "a lot of people like you" have been asking for refills, and therefore she needed to see my cup before giving me one. If there is a new policy requiring customers to show their original cup, I have absolutely no problem with the policy. What upset me was the way it was communicated, particularly the phrase "people like you." As a brown-skinned Indian woman, I could not help but wonder what exactly "people like you" meant and whether I would have been spoken to the same way if I looked different. I am not claiming to know what was in anyone's mind, but I can say how the interaction made me feel: singled out, embarrassed and unwelcome. I have lived in the U.S. for years and cannot remember another interaction that made me feel this way. What makes it especially disappointing is that this wasn't an interaction between a business and someone who walked in for the first time. They know us. We have been coming here almost daily for years. Customer loyalty should mean something--not free coffee and not an exemption from reasonable policies, but simply being treated with familiarity, dignity and respect. The food and coffee have always been good, and that is exactly why we kept coming back for so many years. Unfortunately, after today's interaction, I walked away feeling deeply uncomfortable and no longer welcome. After five or six years of supporting this bakery, it genuinely makes me sad to say that I don't plan to return.
