Just found this gem a couple days ago and went in to pick up my online order. Donna is the best. This place made me feel like I was in Willy Wonkas Chocolate factory, the feeling, the smell, the atmosphere was just amazing. The only thing better is the flavor. Will for sure be shopping here for my go-to treats.

Wish I had a better experience a couple weeks ago. I went in on my way home after work. I'm Asian. I went in and the lady greeted me and walked away. Then as I'm in there for a few minutes I ask about the truffles in their case, she answers and walks away; she didn't ask if I was interested or if I had any other questions. I walk around in the store a little more. Then another lady walks in and she is white, asks for a recommendations for a box of chocolates for a family party. The employee was more attentive to the other white lady and customizes a box of chocolates and truffles. I ask a couple more questions and she answers them and walks away again; she doesn't ask if I was interested in other things or anything. Goes back to the other customer, and helps them more then me. I forgot I walk in with a North Face winter coat and the other lady comes in raggedy Ugg like boots and workout clothing. As that happens I feel that the atmosphere is a little off. Does anyone think this? The employee helps the white customer more then an Asian customer. She also gave a very uncomfortable stare too!

Absolutely fantastic gem in River Forest, the chocolates are spectacular and truly luxurious. A highlight of Christmas is finding a box from River Forest Chocolates in my stocking. Packaging is great for gifting and high end. Wonderful service as well

Awesome. I bought a variety of truffles, but a shout out to the chocolate salted caramel truffle! The caramel was creamy and delicious, like real caramel should be! It reminded me of this phenomenal caramel shop in New York... I was sad that I don't remember what store that was... It was really small... But now I don't need to! Homemade salted caramel in river forest! Wow. If like me all you've ever had is store bought caramel in the plastic wrapper... Go and try real caramel. My God it's good. This store is well stocked with treats of all varieties. You won't be disappointed in the flavors or the selection! This is truly a gem tucked away on a quiet boulevard in river forest. Needless to say, it is now my go to confectionery. I'm so glad I found it.

I love this place as a customer, recipient of a chocolate delight, and now as a friend!If you are out shopping for a gift for the person who has everything this is the place to go! If you are in a difficult mood and need a little joy in your day, this is the place to go!In fact, if you need a little eatable nostalgia in your day, you must go to River Forest Chocolates.I received a birthday gift of the finish chocolate I have ever tasted from this magnificent establishment. It literally left a grand slam taste in my mouth. Waiting a whole year, my wife and I traveled to “RFC” to return the thoughtfulness on our well-known friend’s birthday!Unknowingly my wife and I were blessed with a unique, joy-filled experience.We spent hours in this beautifully decorated chocolate boutique. It triggered pleasant childhood memories. Putting aside our concerns for diet, weight loss and sugar challenges we bought and tasted everything. Boy! Did we have fun!Comparing our adventure to an “amusement park for treats” this 69 year old childhood dream exceeded my bucket-list! Compared to a serving of Single Malt Scotch the priceless chocolates were like a gratuity!The staff is just as sweet as the confectionery choice. The shop’s Founder-Owner, Chocolatier, and knowledgeable and patient hostess and Tour-guide are anonymously all First Class.Vanessa and I will be back, but we won’t wait a year. There is no guilt! The Joy and happiness from the experience exceeded the guilty pleasure from our chocolate shopping excursion!Best Wishes for a Spiritually Productive Day!Much Love,Lamar and Vanessa ChapmanHinsdale, Illinois

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently catered 12 dozen chocolate covered strawberries in light and dark chocolate with swirls on them for a party. The strawberries were so fresh and delicious! The presentation was beautiful on lovely trays. The guests loved them and I received so many compliments. Donna did an excellent job and I highly recommend this shop. Also, I shop there frequently and two of my other favorites are the salted caramels and the toffee. This business is a great addition to River Forest right on Lake Street. Stop by, it will quickly become a favorite!

This little chocolatier is amazing -- great hand-crafted chocolates in a beautiful setting reminiscent of chocolate shoppes in Salzburg, with great customer service. Passion for quality shines through.

Warning: do not patron here if you have even the slightest sweet tooth for you will never stop thinking about it. I kind of course. Their staff is friendly and helpful. This place is very adorable and delicious. They have a great selection of truffles, echolocate-covered treats, gift boxes and seasonal sets. It's perfect for indulging strangers (a haul once fell out of our stroller in downtown Oak Park and was gone when I double backed ), love ones, or just yourself. Our favorites are the hot cocoa on a spoon kit. Those have been fun during an Omicron winter. Oh and if you're in there grab me a chocolate-covered Oreo.
