Genevieve’s Home Made Candy Shop

Best chocolate around!!! Everything I have tried here is amazing… chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered pretzels, assorted box of chocolates. There isn’t a piece of chocolate that I’ve tried that has disappointed me! Good job Genevieve’s!

Wow. Words fail me. I’m a bit of a chocolate snob, having eaten candy from Paris to Istanbul and sadly I pass on most candy nowadays as it’s hard to get excited unless it’s something special.
Well, let me say Genevieve’s is a special place. I just got a box of their candy for Valentine’s Day and … wow. Their chocolate is truly outstanding. Sweet but subtle, great mouth feel, no aftertaste that’s common with so much manufactured chocolate (and even some homemade chocolates). The taste of a Genevieve’s chocolate changes as you chew or even hold it in your mouth. It’s quite an experience.
Really, it can’t compare to any candy I’ve had in recent memory. The last time I had truly memorable candy was at Ladurée in France, and that’s really saying something considering Ladurée’s been making top notch candy for the last 150 years.
Honestly, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard of them until today. They’re so damn good.

I’m from Garfield and have had that choclate every easter since I was born. THERE IS NONE BETTER!!!

Genevieve’s is absolutely the best chocolate shop in North Jersey. The chocolate is smooth and creamy and they have the BEST jordan crackers and chocolate covered strawberries! The staff is always very pleasant and friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Give this place a try you will not regret it.

I drove all the way out to Genevieve’s in New Jersey from Long Island, NY simply because I heard that they were the best in the game! And guess what? They are absolutely incredible. Chocolate is made on prem and is so good. The chocolate covered strawberries made on Easter and Valentines Day are the best I have ever had (even better than Godiva and that says a TON.) The service was great there were older ladies working the counter who were super sweet and nice. GREAT PLACE I RECOMMEND

BEST Chocolate covered Strawberries ever!!! Introduced to this place about 3 yrs ago… every year I am looking for my Vday surprise from here! LOVE LOVE LOVEeeee them!!!

My absolute favorite chocolate store since I was 5. The chocolate is homemade, super creamy and delicious! They also have awesome Easter statues for the whole family. Ballerinas, motorcycle bunnies and everything in between. Love them!

I visited this place a couple of weeks ago, bought my kuds chocolate cover pretzels, and sugar free chocolate for my husband. They were all very fresh and delicious, the older lady in the store was very sweet also. Little expensive but it’s worth it. Ohh you must try the bakery across the street excellent bakery and very cheap.

My wife brings me home their butter nut crunch toffee as a special treat. She and the kids love the haystacks and the jordan crackers also get rave reviews. The dark chocolate almond bark is another favorite. They also make chocolate covered strawberries (better than any others we have tasted!) for Valentines Day and Mothers Day.

My aunt has been buying chocolates for my wife for as long as I can remember. She always purchased a 2lb box of mixed milk and dark chocolate and the box contained a mix fruits, nuts and jellies. It was always a hit for my wife. Unfortantley, my aunt passed away and I had to carry on the tradition of a 2lb box from Genieve’s. So I went there today a picked up some of their fine chocolates for Christmas. I usually bought Godiva for her but she always said that Genevieve’s chocolates were better. Check this place out. They are that good.

Shopped there today for Easter chocolate. Candy is good but unfortunately the service is AWFUL. Waited in line for over 20 minutes only to have the man behind me get served first. Total chaos in the store — customers were orderly but staff incompetent. If I hadn’t waited so long I would have walked out. I remember when my grandmother shopped there for chocolate. Will never go back.

I noticed a review for Genevieve’s while browsing my «nearby Unilocal feed», and I am glad I did.
I never had been to this section of Garfield. The store is located in a mostly residential area of Garfield. I came here to pick up some chocolates for Valentine’s day. The store was pretty busy but they kept the line moving along.
The chocolate covered strawberries were a big hit. The wife loved them. They had a thick coating of very tasting milk chocolate on them. I loved the chocolate covered oreos. Great tasting and they were nicely decorated (see my pic). They had a nice selection of chocolates and other sweets.
Definitely a great local business to support!

delish, always excellent chocolate– i suggest the double dipped jordan crackers! YUM!

This is my childhood stomping ground for all things chocolate. It was here that I became a fan of white chocolate, the elusive and often hard to perfect, less popular shade in the chocolate family. I never understood when everyone cringed when I said I loved white chocolate until I tasted other brands’ versions… ick! What can I say, I’ve been completely spoiled by the homemade chocolate treats that I make the journey back (to my childhood neighborhood) to every Easter.
When you walk into this tiny, unassuming shop, you’re immediately intoxicated by the delicious aroma of chocolate. It’s a tiny family run store that has shelves lined up with delectable chocolate creations in the shapes of bunnies, kitties, and elaborate Easter sculptures; all crafted with love and chocolate goodness. My favorite treats include the dark or milk chocolate covered crackers, the dark chocolate covered oreos, the solid eggs and bunnies, as well as the coconut eggs. You really can’t go wrong with whatever you get. The jelly beans are also the best I have ever tasted.
I simply love this place. It’s a small town treasure that will always be a must for my annual Easter shopping. You haven’t experienced chocolate decadence until you’ve tasted Genevieve’s chocolate. Enjoy!

So you’re familiar with the expression «Like a kid in a candy shop»… well that was me today.
Genevieve’s is one of those great local neighborhood places that has been around forever… and for good reason, their chocolates are outstanding. If you’re a chocoholic, you’ll love this little place!
They have just about everything you would want covered in chocolate… pretzels, marshmallows, fruits, nuts, twinkies, even espresso beans!
Be prepared to spend some serious coin in this place as it’s on the pricey side. But like I always say, the finer things in life ain’t cheap.

The best chocolate place (better then Godiva)!!! They have the best coconut clusters chocolates. For Valentine’s Day they have these gigantic chocolate covered strawberries (very sweet and juicy… size of an apple). I love this place, but a little pricy.
