Vosges Haut-Chocolat

Mmmmm, chocolatey heaven! I wish it was scratch-​n-​sniff.
Nice people work here!
We commiserated over not being able to eat nuts because of our dudes’ allergies. She assured me that the samples didn’t have nuts and I thanked her because I’m not (currently) looking to kill him.
I thanked her for her help, but everything I wanted to buy (mostly those caramel marshmallows) had some sort of nut or another.
She set me back on my way with a couple more samples and a wink and a smile.

These are such phenomenal chocolates! I love the flavor combos and that they have a decent selection of vegan options.
The service is fantastic at this place in O’Hare. The staff really knows their stuff and are so friendly (a rarity at ORD)

A compact site but accessible — has a good range and chiller for best storage. Pricey but worth it for a treat or gift. If in doubt ask what is new, they are always putting out new products and I have yet to strike a bad one.

American has stepped up its terminal game at O’Hare and now has a Vosges just steps away from a Tortas Fronteras — these two places alone make O’Hare layovers «somewhat» bearable.
If you haven’t tried Vosges, head over to gate H4 and check them out! They are local to Chicago & only use the best ingredients to create delicious caramels, truffles & chocolate bars. People seem to go apeshit for the bacon bars (available in milk, dark & new cinnamon sugar milk) but my favorites are the caramels — and yes, there’s a bacon version of that too if you must.
Otherwise, expect creative combinations (chai peppercorn) in addition to more standard selections like the delightful Bapchi’s Toffee bar. Quality is very high & the prices match — but you’re worth a little indulgence, right? I know I’m always the most popular person at corporate when I have a chance to stop here first for presents.

Vosges is ridiculously expensive, but some of their chocolates are really quite tasty. This little shop at O’Hare in the American terminal is a great place to stop to pick up your bacon bar as a thank you gift for friends cat-​sitting for you. ;)

This review is for my purchase about 3 weeks back. I was intrigued by the pretty purple colors of the store. Plus, my boyfriend’a parents love chocolates, so I decided to get them a medium box if mixed truffles.
Everyone liked the packaging and it was nice that it came with a booklet inside to identify each truffle. The flavors were exotic (curry, wasabi, coconut, Mexican chocolate, violet, etc.). I liked them, but I think it was a little too exotic for my boyfriend’s parents. They’re used to more basic flavors.

I LOVE FLYING
About 20 years ago I would have never said that but then American Airlines remodeled there terminal and added a huge shopping mall style food court. Then they took out a few gates and added the most amazing Tortas that Rick Bayless could ever make and a local chocolate maker. That’s where this place comes in.
Imagine a place that makes chocolate in Chicago. Then imagine you are flying back home and you didn’t get your wife a present. If that is the case, then you need to pick up some of the most amazing chocolate she will ever have. And if you don’t believe me then ask the salesperson to give you a sample. You will probably end up buying some chocolate for yourself. Hey it’s a long flight home and the airlines don’t feed you anymore. As a guy, I suggest the delicious peanut butter cups and the chocolate infused with bacon. That is MAN’S CANDY plus it has bacon.
We were recently flying to Asia and my little girl and I dragged Mom over to see this place. Yeah this is a place we visit in downtown Chicago without Mom. We were both bragging about the bacon chocolate when the sales lady heard us. She was so kind to give us a chocolate bacon candy bar for the flight to Tokyo. This place rocks plus there’s bacon in there.
So next time your flying through or departing Terminal 3 at O’Hare Airport, then you need to visit this place. Just look for the purple drapes or the ghost piano playing. The piano is actually in the wine bar next door to this place. I paint a pretty exciting location picture, so there is no way you can miss this place now with my stunning descriptive visual maps. If you’re gonna have chocolate, then have really good insanely delicious chocolate. Enjoy your flight!

Awesome and exotic flavors — great for a special holiday treat. We bought bars with marzipan (yum, but doesn’t break very easily), coconut/​banana (yum, and easier to eat), and chili caramel (haven’t tried it yet). There were some free samples, which really drew us in. Would give it 5 stars if the $ 7.50 per bar price were a little more affordable.

Truly amazing chocolate. It’s expensive, but worth it if you truly appreciate high quality chocolate.
I can honestly say I’ve never had anything better than their Black Salt Caramel Bar. Unbelievable.

No flight out of O’Hare is complete without a stop at Vosges!
The boutique has a large selection so it’s great for a last minute host gift wherever you’re going (or of course a treat for yourself!)… Especially during the holidays!

Didn’t think I’d find great chocolate right before my flight, but here I am enjoying the free sample of a Barcelona bar and loving the hickory almonds and grey sea salt combination with a 45% cacao. The Flavors blend quite well and is just absolutely and delicately delicious if you like that salty sweet with just the right amount of texture.
Bought the box of dark chocolate truffles to share with my co-​workers. I hope they like it.
