“I absolutely love everything about the Nuthouse!!! I order from them the best quality nuts and zaatar! In my latest order I ordered some chocolate ? and I am absolutely in love. Best pistachio chocolate I have ever had. ? The quality chocolate and the size of the chocolate is just perfection. I also tried their turkish coffee and it is fresh and wonderful! Customer service is top notch as they called me to communicate one of the chocolates I ordered was out of stock and to see if i wanted a replacement. That surpassed my expectations and I will be ordering again soon to spread my love for the nuthouse to my family! Thank you for providing us with quality nuts/fruit/chocolate and beyond to give us the feel of overseas for reasonable prices. ”
“I grew up coming to this store as a kid. My mom would always let my sister and I spend $1.00 and man in the 90's that went a long way. And we also used to get our chocolate Santas, reindeer, and Christmas trees from here every Christmas too. (Santa knows what is good chocolate lol). And now that I am a mommy it's so amazing to be able to take my daughter to the same candy store I frequented as a child. Thank you for the amazing service especially with kids and for keeping memories alive.”
“Great customer service!! Large variety of different chamoy candy. Everything is delicious top favorite are the gushers. Once you start you can’t stop. Have been a customer since he first started his business!”
“My father started going here at least 30 years ago for peanuts for the squirrels. Before he died he made me promise I would continue. My family has had this building since 1922. So now I go here for squirrel food too. They specially order the peanuts in the shell with no salt for me. For the squirrels you say??? Yes! When they couldn’t get the nuts during the pandemic, I ordered from Amazon. Easier? Sure. But I got food moths galore!!!”

1960 N Western Ave, Chicago“Great historic ice cream and candy shop in Chicago. We came at a busy time and had to wait awhile for service. We had the classic Turtle sundae and it was good. I found the decor to be the most charming of all, although it sits on the border between kitschy and vintage.Kid-friendliness: There were lots of kids there”

3726 Prairie Ave, Brookfield“This was a nice little candy shop. Parking can be confusing but make sure you read the signs. I just parked a couple mins away on one of the side streets, where it said free parking for 4 hrs. Just to be on the safe side. The staff was very kind and welcoming. They have a good selection of the bark candy including the popular lemon bark and English toffee. Don’t forget you can also sample them before picking one. I sampled the dark chocolate mole and roasted almond sea salt bark. Both of the barks weren’t too sweet. I recommend coming here either when they open or early afternoon, traffic could suck especially if you take the tollways. Prices are reasonable for the high quality ingredients.-Dark chocolate mole 5 - if you smell it before eating, you can catch a whiff of the pasilla peppers that went into these. Not spicy at all but you do get a very mild, subtle after taste. Good blend of spices. I recommend getting a sample.-Coffee crunch 5 - I’m not a coffee person but this was delicious. Toffee and white chocolate had a creamier taste than the other two.-Mini cookie crumble 5 - can’t go wrong with mini. It’s like eating. Nice prominent mint smell and flavor combined with that nice crunchy taste.”
“I have been a fan of their chocolates since my days as a Catholic elementary school student awhile back. As one would expect, some of their items are sold in bulk and at a reduced price for various reasons. However, the wonderful employees of this shop are helpful and will allow you to try a sample before you purchase. If you like it, good! If you don't, you don't! The store is very clean and neatly organized. I have never had a bad experience shoppping at this outlet store.”
“If you like chocolate, nothing should stop you from visiting Mr. Kite's. Everything here is amazing, but the milk chocolate salted caramels are my particular favorite!The proprietors are absolutely lovely, and visiting the shop is always a delight!”

6113 W 26th St, Cicero“What a wonderful place! I was searching the Chicagoland area for "custom piñata's" for my 6 year old son's "skyscraper" themed birthday party. I didn't think I'd find a custom John Hancock Center pinata, but lo and behold, the amazing folks at Pinatas & More came through and did an AMAZING job creating a custom piñata of a John Hancock Center replica. It was well made, reasonably priced, and was ready when they said it would be. What a great store/service!”
“Thank you so much for your amazing detail, Gina! You are truly a great artist, and baker! We were absolutely so happy with our cakes that you did for us! We had sent you a photo, and you could do exactly what we asked for on a cake, we are really appreciative of your attention to detail, and the customers needs. You definitely listen to the customers needs, and make peoples birthdays extra special with your artistic ability! We will definitely be sending you referrals, and more orders for cakes in the future! I really felt heard as a customer at My Grandpa's Store! Thank you again, Gina!”

3407 N Kimball Ave, Chicago“I am an over the road truck driver in a class 8 sleeper truck and a 53' dry van trailer that delivered here today. The gentleman in receiving Carlos Marquez was very friendly and very helpful and helped direct me while doing a difficult blind side back into their dock off of the road. He unloaded me quickly too. I'd be happy to deliver here again. Next time I will call them first and they will help stop traffic and I will pull forward into Home Depot parking lot and back down the road and do a driver's side back into their dock and I suggest my fellow sleeper truck drivers do the same.”
“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.”

6351 W 95th St, Oak Lawn“My first time going to this location, after it being stationed at this address for years was back on April 15, 2023. The person serving candy on this day was lady by the name of Max. She was nice, hospitable and just a consummate professional. Because the second time I came to this location (ALMOST A WEEK LATER) the same person Max was there to service candy to the customers on this day. I usually visit the location downtown (NORTH MICHIGAN AVENUE) because it is bigger store with more of a variety but if I am ever in need for chocolate in the future this will probably be my go to location seeing is most locations are starting to close, again makes me filled with SADNESS!!”

4635 W 63rd St, Chicago“Friendly staff that treats you like family! It is rare when I write a review about a place that I actually like! I love Villa's Nuts & Candy. My husband and I were so overwhelmed by all of their products and we kept asking for an additional ounce or half ounce of something, we kept adding to our order, and Maricela was more than nice. I ordered chocolate covered strawberries and tons of nuts!”
“Terrific place. A throwback. I generally get chocolate covered Apricots. Pretty regularly. I travel from Burr Ridge every 10-14 days for these and generally a couple more things. Great people own and work there. Worth whatever distance you need to travel.”
