Interesting chocolates. The truffle collection are to be considered "exotic" with interesting ingredient pairings that you won't find anywhere else hence we wanted to give it a try. That said, interesting and satisfying aren't always the same thing. So I would say these are interesting chocolates, with interesting flavors The caramel marshmallows had a great idea at the center but they didn't stand out as unique or exceptional For a dark chocolate lover who wants cacao complexity with creativity, vosges has ambitious presentation, intriguing concepts, but the chocolate itself takes a back seat in my opinion for a lot of the truffles even though it says 46-72% cocoa. I know it's international on their part Worth trying for the experience though as its unique and interesting read more

My boyfriend bought me the Exotic Variety from the Chicago airport, he said the staff was incredibly helpful. Since the store was in the airport and he had time to kill before his flight, it was the perfect store to buy something special for me. Im so lucky. The chocolates are amazing, decadent. I Can't describe it...ive been savoring them. Sometimes pairing them with the suggestions in the booklet. Ambiance .a typical airport store, bright and clean and helpful, friendly staff. read more

Nice shop in the airport. I didn't find the chocolate worth the price though. It was still tasty and could be a nice gift. Cheddar and apple 45% cacao bar - skip it if you don't like untraditional flavors. Red Hawaiian salt exotic caramels - good, would get it again. La bombe - good read more

Great dessert shop located In terminal 3. Looking for luxury chocolate made just in Chicago? Come get a box or two at this mini store and serve yourself some goodness. I love the ambiance of this place, the vibe drew me in. I loved how the staff knew of how much the owner puts into thought of their chocolate. I bought the Tom petty chocolate line , because the staff member told me it was the creators favorite singer. I love touches like this. read more

I really didn't know you you could possibly top last years advent calendar, Vosges, but you did. This year's Nordic Forest Chalet is really something out of this world. I'm going to enjoy December with treats such as Blood Orange Hibiscus Caramel Marshie, Fennel Shortbread Cookie, Black Salt Petite Bonbons. Wait 'til the 25th, when we open La Bombe, with hazelnuts, chanterelle mushrooms, Dulce de leche and 23k edible gold leaf. Was I good this year? read more

Flying back home to SD from my home town - Chicago. I always have bought this the at World Market, Whole Foods or online. I cannot even believe my luck to pass by and store front next to my gate. This mini store front is as beautiful as the chocolate bars & truffles packaging they come in. Next time I come to Chicago - definitely have to go to the free standing store. read more

This isn't cheap for food, but it is a treasure and value in density of experience. There is a reason why spices were the predominant trade for ages And why cookbooks were always prized. Knowledge translated i to real experience is valuable. These treats each provide a thoughtful and refined Experience. Love Them!!! read more

One of my all time favorite chocolatiers!! The most beautiful, delicious creations. Sign up for the emails for holiday specials. The Christmas advent calendar- and seasonal boxes are a work of art. You can order online!! Great gift ideas. read more

I bought my yearly Christmas boxes of these chocolates; one box of the whiskey infused truffles and one large box of the exotic truffles. My husband and I were super disappointed when we opened them. He had a reaction to something in the whiskey infused box. And the exotic truffles were awful. No fun coloring/ingredients like they show on the photos. And when we used to buy them, each truffle was a decadent taste explosion and also really fun, as many of the truffles had unusual, high end ingredients. Now, it's just chocolate with chocolate on the inside (caramel, salted, etc) and zero fun ingredients!! They did refund me but I won't be buying from them again. When we first received a box as a gift years ago, we practically ate the entire box in a day. Now, they went in the trash. Sad. read more

Las Bombalinas! Yup.. The Bomb!! Cacao ganage, reishi mushroom and hazelnuts... Interesting combo. This confectionary is a semicircle of this combo layered with dulce de leche, bottom layer of crunch nibs with a gold leaf seal on top is total bliss. Pour two ounces of anejo tequila and you're in heaven. The caramel marshmallows are also a must. Served as layered squares of Madagascar bourbon vanilla marshmallow with a layer of caramel covered in dark chocolate and topped with walnuts and pecans. Happiness in a square. You're welcome! read more

I happen to see these when I was flying out of O'Hare. So I went in, and I asked who makes their chocolate, not where it was sourced from BUT who makes it because they're not advertising Bean to Bar. This went downhill from there, so googled it, and I found out Valrhona (French) to Belcolade (Belgium) and much in between. What's the much in between? Who are you getting your FINISHED chocolate from? when you're selling something and you can't tell me where you're getting the main FINISHED ingredient from I have reservations paying big dollar and I told the sales girl that her supervisor should've trained her much better. When your a store that only sells one thing and only one thing you should know everything about the item you sell not just that it's sourced from Africa. I'm giving them a three star because the boxes are cute and the sales gal was trying to be so nice, she had a lack of knowledge, which was not her fault. I question the training that is provided to your sales team. And I question how good is your chocolate? Are you just selling me slick marketing, next to the Wine bar in O'Hare. Spend the extra money train them better so they know everything about your chocolate and this is a career to them (not just a job at the airport). When someone comes into your store and knows about chocolate, they should be dazzled by the amount of information that your employees are able to give them about your chocolate. Lovely sales gal, but she could've been selling me a pocketbook. read more

Vosges Haut-Chocolat - Store front - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

As a longtime fan of Vosges' unconventional chocolate bar creations (with inclusions like cheese, mushrooms, bacon and beer, to name a few), I knew I had to take advantage of my layover in Chicago to visit a shop for some of their specialty truffles. While the bars can be picked up at Whole Foods, World Market, and other grocery or specialty stores, the bon bons can only be obtained at their brick and mortar locations or ordered online. Here, in addition to the truffles and bars, you'll find marshmallow confections, drinking cocoa, toffee, caramels, and sister brand Wild Ophelia's cutie bars. Offerings change seasonally and as new collections are introduced, though many are standards. The teeny little spot is lovely, on my visit all fresh and bright with winter greenery, crystals as companions to the wonderful chocolates, and a glimmering chandelier completing the charming space. Such a calming and oh-so-pleasant respite from Chicago's crazy airport terminals! Branding is luxurious and elegant, with royal purple, heavy boxes. As soon as we entered, an employee handed out samples, and both we encountered were so nice, even throwing in a few extra treats with my purchase. I also requested two additional bags to package gifts, and they happily complied, complete with a generous stack of tissue paper. For myself, I selected a nine piece dark chocolate exotic truffle and Olio d'Oliva box. Truffles are made fresh and need to be eaten within about two weeks of purchase (within a week, I consumed 15 of my 18, so....even if you have more self control than I, you likely will not have a problem with this). They are also perishable, and though unrefrigerated in shop, should be chilled once you are able. My favorites were Balsamico, Chef Pascal, Tlan Nacu (vanilla perfection), Blue Majik (stunning cerulean due to spirulina algae), Pomegranate Rose, and salty Red Miso. There are those who will complain of the price, and admittedly, these are on the smaller side as far as chocolates go, but from the exceptional creative flavors, to the gloriously textured ganache fillings and high quality packaging, Vosges is worth it. There are two locations in O'Hare. This one serves terminal 3, home to American Airlines. read more

Chocolates... and more chocolates Well for starters this is not your ordinary chocolate retail shop as they do have some intriguing flavors. We were specifically looking for the bacon chocolate covered variety.We finally found the store and you would not believe the taste of fruit wood smoked bacon and bittersweet dark chocolate. It is really hard to describe and the combination works well. I got my protein and chocolate in one package. We didn't stop there we also picked up a matcha green tea with Ghanaian cacao nibs. I think that this a healthy combination, now I should have paired it with something but it tasted great all by itself. With the different combinations of healthy ingredients and dark chocolate you can never go wrong. I am sure that you can satisfy your craving by ordering online since Vosges Haut-Chocolat is a luxury chocolate maker based in Chicago. If you feel like splurging on dark chocolates look no further. read more

Every bit as fine a chocolate as any I've tasted in Paris. Gorgeous presentation. Love the flavors.

I can't remember the name of the Vosges dark chocolate with smoked chiles that I had, but 42nd Street Chocolate Company here in my hometown of Oklahoma City used to carry it -- and it was delightful! We also love the dark chocolate Balsamico, the Apple-Cheddar bar, the Matcha, and the Dark Bacon -- always special treats for us! We both look forward to sampling the Manchego and cherry one! read more

Calling all gourmet chocolate fans. Vosges is a wonder place to buy gifts for yourself and others. I got a few chocolate bars & a gift set for my sister. Some of my favorites were the Mo's dark bacon, Mo's milk bacon, Manchego and cherry bar, super dark chocolate with honey (called raw honey cacao), and the Barcelona. The parmesan walnut and fig flavor was so subtle you can hardly taste the distinction. The ingredients are stellar, and I recommend visiting one of their shops for the experience. I felt very happy and welcomed just shopping here because of the wonderful employee who assisted me. I wish I remembered her name but she was very kind. The name of the store as well as the purple gift bags may seem a bit posh, but my experience here was not! Highly recommend. read more

Got the La Bombe and Traditional Truffles as a gift, my family really liked. Wooloomooloo-macadamia nuts was great.

I'm a chocolate snob. I don't do milk chocolate and this airport was short on options. So I checked these guys out. I went with the raw honey 100% cacao bar. Super tasty. Had all the intense flavor of straight up chocolate and just a tad of sweetness to balance the bitter. Loved it. There's something for everyone here. Including the way out there options with matcha or bacon. Note the prices are high. I had to pay $8 for my bar. read more

Haven't tried em yet, but I got a box of them and the presentation alone gets it 5 stars! Great boxes to keep just as gift boxes themselves! Solidly built boxes and art on them so by that alone this place gets 5 stars as most places are cheap AF. I can't wait to eat em now! read more

"Please consume within 2 weeks of purchase." You know the ingredients and manufacturing process is pure when your sales rep relays this information and you read it again inside the truffle insert. Last night, as I passed through the snow storm that hovered over Illinois, I sampled the 4-piece box of exotic truffles, which included the following: * absinthe: chinese star anise + fennel + absinthe + 65% cacao dark chocolate * woolloomooloo: Australian macadamia nuts + coconut + 44% cacao deep milk chocolate * wink of the rabbit: soft caramel + 44% deep milk chocolate + organic New Mexican pecan * chef pascal: kirsch + 65% cacao dark chocolate + dried Michigan cherry All were delicious, and I especially loved the absinthe & chef pascal. Since my bf and I both travel frequently for work (which makes care packages challenging, to say the least), I've proposed that I purchase the 9-piece exotic chocolate box for my Valentine's Day gift. ;-) read more

So many many times I've hustled past this cute chocolate kiosk in Terminal 3 (B gates) at Chicago O'Hare over many years traveling (mostly running to and from a C gate to an F gate, also known as the entire length of the airport). Stopping for chocolate just never seemed in the cards (free hands usually ended up holding a coffee). But a recent trip actually TO Chicago and departing from a B gate left me with free time to wander the shops. Combined with the need to buy a nice gift led me to browse the beautifully, purple-bedecked display of chocolate goodness. The sales lady greeted me pleasantly, and then ... ASKED ME IF I WANTED A SAMPLE. Are you kidding me? A morsel of hazelnut-crusted chocolate was bestowed upon me. Fellow Yelpers, you do not need me to tell you that a fine piece of chocolate is like a bit of heaven on your palate. This Chicago chocolate is not just ethically and environmentally conscious, it is made with fresh, high quality ingredients with tremendous care. The unique flavors (bacon, Hungarian paprika, anise, wasabi, green olives ...) may cause you to raise an eyebrow, but the burst of vibrant flavors in your mouth with each bite is simply amazing. I bought one of their "library" sets (adorably boxed bars) as a gift, and a 9-piece box for the family. Should have gotten a bigger box! They didn't last but an hour after I got back home (and the gift recipient loved the bars! If you love chocolate, definitely give Vosges a try. read more

We always love coming here for chocolate when we're at the airport. The buy 5, get 6 is awesome and while it's pricey, it's a little slice of heaven with a picture on the box! We did find that individual bars were less than the price of a box of the same amount - marketing should probably look at that. If you're in the mood for some sweets, they've got great variety and flavors you won't find at Walmart. Worth taking home to the wifey and will allow you to impress your friends with you exotic array of sweets from around the globe! read more

Vosges Haut-chocolat will make a chocolate lover out of the biggest chocolate haters!!! I accidentally discovered this company leaving Chicago. Buying some last minute gifts at the airport only because the presentation was so lavish did I buy these chocolates. Much to my surprise, everyone I gifted them too called my later to ask where I had gotten them and going on and on about it being the best chocolate they had even had. Of course, I then ordered more for our family and now we are all hooked!!! I downloaded the app and gift these chocolates to everyone. The perfect luxurious gift for the person who has it all!!! At home, I always have truffles not only for guests but as our personal guilty pleasure as well!!! Best chocolates ever!!! read more

Can't resist getting a few bars of delectable chocolates to sustain myself during the long flight home. Can't believe I found this gem of a place in a busy airport.

Vosges Haut-Chocolate boutique is located near the gates for United Airlines at Chicago O'Hare airport, terminal 3. If you have a sweet tooth, don't come here, you won't be able to restrain yourself. Having put that out of the way, here's the one I find especially amusing and I'm putting this out there: chocolate with bacon! Who doesn't love chocolate, and who doesn't love bacon, right? How about those two together? Opposites attract? Since Vosges Mountains are right at the border of France and Germany, the region historically endured a lot of fighting back in the 17th-18th centuries, and later during the WWI and WWII. Nowadays, time and common sense prevailed and mixed up everything quite well, so one can expect the mix of sweet and savory should also work out fine, why not? Vosges Haut-Chocolat stands for ethical and environmentally sustainable practices to create chocolate with a worldview, with production facility in Chicago. It's also a certified women's business enterprise, did you know? Peace, Love, and Chocolate! read more

Bought some really expensive chocolates here. I mean really expensive! I think it came out to about $4 a piece. I got an assortment and they were delicious and there was quite a variety.

O'Hare has excellent "Chicago only" airport shops, like Vosges, a Chicago based haut/luxury chocolatier. The airport location carries a much broader selection of their items than I've seen elsewhere, including thick cookies, Mo's Bacon pancake mix, cake mixes, cookie mixes, truffles, exotic caramels, chocolate bar libraries, caramel marshmallows, peanut butter bon bons, etc. They have mini and full size candy bars. Plus the purple packaging is so pretty, especially their hatboxes. It's a great place to pick up souvenirs and treats before hopping on a plane. If you've ever ordered from them, you know shipping is expensive and you may have to worry about warm weather conditions. * Organic peanut butter bonbons (4 pieces for $10): Sprinkled with salt, found these a bit salty but with lots of peanut butter flavor, nice milk chocolate shell, good but not amazing read more

***You can find good chocolates here including a lot of items that you will not find at the many gourmet grocery stores (like Bristol Farms) that are now selling Vosges' products; unfortunately, a lot of the chocolate bars and truffles at this Vosges' (at O'Hare) are expensive though I do not believe they are more expensive than Vosges' standalone shops in Downtown Chicago*** This Vosges is located past the security checkpoint so it is only open to air travelers. I am not sure what the parking situation is at O'Hare, but I imagine parking here is expensive like other airports. read more

I would give this place 100 star review if I was able to I wouldn't have noticed if the gentleman hadn't stopped me and my son and offered us a complimentary piece of chocolate when I looked around and saw that it was boutique and high-end I almost lost my mind Nobody and I mean nobody is more up SAST with chocolate than I am I literally take trips to London Paris and Belgium just to get chocolate and I have never even heard of this place I walked out with a few boxes I was very curious of the LeFlor Collection and I got that along with the hazelnut truffles My son wanted bars of the black sea salt He loved it. The gentleman that helped us was Nate and he basically took me on a tour of everything that they had on display I would have bought more But we had so much crap already I love this place it was amazing read more

Terminal 1, Concourse B is where it's at in O'Hare. Let's face it - this is NOT my favorite airport but with Tortas Fronteras at one end and Vosges at the other, I actually welcome a layover here. The kiosk is wee but offers a comprehensive selection of delicious locally made chocolates full of exotic, high quality ingredients. I think the Bacon Bar is a tad overrated, but I adore Bapchi's Toffee Bar. The caramels (esp Tupelo Honey) are absolutely amazing. If you're traversing this concourse you should really make Vosges a stop. And Tortas Fronteras. I am not responsible for the need for seat belt extenders afterwards. read more

I have been to O'Hare several times for business trips and this is always a stop I make to pick up little treats for everyone back at home. They have wonderful boutique chocolates. They have interesting and different flavors of chocolate bars, truffles, and a variety of other featured goodies. Some of the bars I brought home this time included a Smoke & Stout bar, which has burnt sugar caramel that has been infused with Rogue Ale's Chocolate Stout beer. Another new and interesting one was a Manchego and cherry bar. You can pick 6 full size bars for $40, if I remember correctly. They also have a good portion of their "regular" flavors in smaller sizes as well. They always give out samples too. Who doesn't love that?! Garrett popcorn is also another favorite to bring back from Chicago, but chocolate bars are way easier to squeeze into a bag when I am traveling heavy. read more
