Fantastic chocolate. The lady working there is very knowledgeable and kind.Prices are doubled than the one in japan but i guess is because of taxes.

The chocolates are good but every time I come into the store it’s disheveled and messy looking. Also when I come here there’s never anyone out to assist me with the products or questions. There’s been multiple times where I have to stand and wait for the lady to come out, this usually happens on the weekends, it’s usually always the same lady too. Before 2021 this used to be a better store.

Royce chocolate and cookies is located inside of mitsuwa along with several high end vendors and shops. Royce doesn't disappoint. Paris was extremely helpful and went over all of the offerings that Royce had. I ended up getting the variety pack because I couldn't make up mind. Great gifts for the adventurous tongue and even for someone with a sweet tooth. The have adorable pink gift bags to make it for a quick pick up. I absolutely recommend the fromage blanc chips, they are delicious and daring at the same time!

I've been going to Mitsuwa (former Yao Han) for decades and have always enjoyed the various shops that are contained within it. Royce is a little more recent - maybe 5-6 years or so, Covid not withstanding. Anyway, I had never shopped at Royce before and this Elite Experience was perfect for me to check it out and sample some of their offerings. Like other Yelpers. I got to sample the white chocolate chip, the green tea wafer and the nama chocolate; all were good but the latter was definitely my favorite. The Royce staffperson shared a catalog with me - something tells me it will be useful around Christmas time. My goodie bag included the Venezuelan dark chocolate "thins" - perfect for any dark chocolate love, like me! Thanks to Mirella and the Royce team for extending the opportunity to try your products out to me and fellow Yelpers - I truly enjoyed them.

Luxurious chocolate company from Hokkaido, Japan. The chocolates are not too sweet. After that first bite, your mouth will be craving for more. The associate is very nice and gives you a detailed history of the chocolate. Remember to ask for free samples. Prices are on the higher end. They do have an assortment with different packaging. The one I got was $29. Definitely worth buying if it’s for yourself or a gift to someone. After you walk in the main entrance, turn left past the mochi place, and head straight ahead. It’s next door to Lady M and the food court.

Thank you to Mirella and the people at ROYCE' Chocolate for putting together a great experience.Normally, an experience consists of going to a business, picking up an item, and leaving. This was very different. The host was very engaging. She explained what made Royce Chocolate different from other chocolates. She had us try samples and got our reactions after each sample. The chocolate was different than other Asian chocolates I have tried in the past. It was very rich, creamy, and smooth. My husband and I enjoyed the samples that we had in store and what we were able to take home. We will be coming back to Royce to try more of their delicious chocolates!

Cute little setup in Mitsuwa around the corner from the food court. The person working was very sweet and super informative. She went through the chocolate brochure and offered 3 samples to try- Nama chocolate (made with liquor), Matcha wafer, and the white chocolate "Fromage Blanc" chip. Everything was so good and nothing was overly sweet. I especially like the white chocolate covered potato chip- which you would never guess was infused with cheese. The flavors just go together so well, along with the crunch and saltiness of the chip. For the Yelp event, I chose the dark option and bought a milk chocolate bar. The quality is excellent and the chocolates are so velvety, they literally melt in your mouth. The price might seem high for some, but due to the quality of the chocolate, it's well worth it. I'm hoping to go back and pick up some items as Christmas gifts...

I ended up coming home with the:Nama dark VSOP liquor infusedRum raisin chocolate liquor barAnd bought the darjeeling tea liquor Nama chocolate for a friend.Excellent quality for being important directly from Japan. Impressed with the cool packaging for the specialty Nama chocolates as well.

A luxury chocolate shopping experience with friendly and helpful staff to guide customers through the dazzling array of options. The store displays are colorful and well lit with every product arranged neatly to make it easy to browse all the available options. The gift sets are particularly impressive, with perfectly arranged items inside of ornately decorated boxes. Fortunately the chocolate and biscuits are just as delicious to eat as they are to look at. They are not too sweet with just the right level of creaminess. For this experience I loved trying the different samples of chocolates which really demonstrated the quality of the ingredients and care to the texture. The staff member did a great job of describing the quality ingredients that went into the items we tried and the history of the store. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back and buy more gifts for friends and family who appreciate fine chocolate. Thank you ROYCE' Chocolate, Mirella, and Yelp for this great opportunity!

Choc it up to experience...I definitely know some fab sweets and Royce is absolutely top tier!Thank you Mirella and Royce for the awesome experience! I always love visiting Mitsuwa in general and was excited to check out Royce here. I was treated to a fun sampling by Lindsey and she was so friendly and informative. I tried the dark chocolate nama which was creamy and fudge like, dark chocolate covered potato chip--crisp and light, and the matcha wafer--love the texture and light as well.I love Royce because nothing is ever too sweet! Convenient location since it's within the Mitusuwa market (love grabbing some goodies in the market, food court, and bakery---yes I did that all in this one visit LOL) and free parking is always a bonus.

The worker was very knowledgeable about ROYCE' and very sweet. I learned more about how their chocolate gets shipped to the USA and how all their ingredients are Japanese. I do like buying chocolates that have thought and care in the process of making the chocolate but also the shipping and how it's displayed and sold in stores.The Nama chocolate was soo luscious and delicious. I've tried it before and it was still as amazing as the first time.The fromage blanc potato chip was good too! It's got bleu cheese and you don't taste it a lot. It's a nice balanced flavor.The dark chocolate chip was good. I've tried the matcha and I think my preferred order is the matcha potato chip, fromage blanc and then dark chocolate.We got a goodie bag. We got to pick milk or dark and I picked dark. Super excited to get a sample box. I also made a purchase, too. I loveddd the matcha potato chip so I got another. I got a fromage blanc potato chip and a liquor free Nama Chocolate. I'm debating if I will share with anyone but most likely I'll keep it all to myself to indulge in when I please!Thanks for a tasty event, ROYCE' Chocolate, Yelp Chicago Burbs and the CM Mirella. I always like going to Mitsuwa and this gave me a chance to try another store front in there.

I came here to check out Royce during my lunch break. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and provided us with some yummy samples to try out. The chocolates or other sweet options would be great gift ideas for those that enjoy sweets or sweets with their tea/coffee.Thank you Mirella for coordinating such a nice yelp event and the yelp swag (aka markers). The whole process from rsvp, reminders and pick up went smoothly! :)Location: The place is right inside Mitsuwa, right before you enter the food courts.Parking: The parking lot can get packed but there's plenty of spots even if that means you have to walk a little.I may be back to purchase some items for gifts.

Upon arriving, I was greeted by a nice young lady that discussed their finest chocolates from their catalog and provided me samples. The first was a dark chocolate, fudge like texture that literally melted in your mouth in such a creamy texture, yet subtle taste of dark chocolate. Then, my favorite, the dipped potato chip. It balanced really well with the saltiness of the chip, yet the white chocolate flavor. Then, I tried the matcha wafer. I love matcha and was excited for this one. It was light, airy, yet crispy and the matcha tasted amazing. I enjoyed this better than the matcha kit kats. I opted to choose the milk chocolate bag and tried a couple pieces when I got home. You can definitely taste the difference in Royce' chocolates compared to others. This is definitely fine chocolate. We come to Mitsuwa every so often, so the next time we are in town, we will plan to stop by to grab some for the upcoming holidays.

Thank you Royce, Yelp ad Mirella for this sweet treat! I cannot pass up good chocolate and Royce did not disappoint. Located in Mitsuwa Marketplace, Royce had an wide variety of chocolate offerings. The lady working was so nice and willingly explained about Royce, their products and offered samples. The White Chocolate Potato chips were so unique and good. It was the perfect sweet and salty combination. I had the option of selecting milk or dark chocolate for the goodie bag. I selected the milk chocolate and, of course, had to try it as soon as I got home The milk chocolate candy was individually wrapped and so creamy and good. The goodie bag included a Yelp goodie, water and , of course, the chocolate. Thank you for the sweet treat to start off the Halloween season.
