Jean-Marie Auboine Chocolatier

Amazing chocolates and very friendly people. I can’t recommend trying their chocolates enough.

Jean-​Marie Auboine was recommended to me by another chocolatier. Ashley, the receptionist was very friendly and invited us into the show room to sample some chocolates. She was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions. As we browsed the amazing selection of chocolates, Chanelle walked in and engaged us in conversation. She was charming and very knowledgeable. She offered to give us a tour of the factory where they process and grind the cocoa beans and actually make their own chocolate. It was fascinating! We also got the tour of the kitchen where they hold classes.
All in all, their chocolates are exquisite and the employees are so friendly and welcoming. If you love chocolate I highly recommend you stop by!

Get the chocolate seasalt caramels. Would be better if there was a shop on the strip. Maybe in the future.

The pistachio truffle and is one of the best truffles I have ever had. I do wish that the truffles come in smaller quantities. The only box available for truffles is 18 pieces with 6 flavours. There are so many different flavours it was impossible to sample them all in one visit. We will have to order them online and have them shipped to us next time.

After my first visit I returned for holiday gifts. Just delivered a hostess gift and after having just one sea salt caramel there was a battle as to who owned the box!

This chocolate is exceptional!!! They were at Flavors of the Heart event for the American Heart Association and WOW!!!
I’m really not that into chocolate, I’m kinda just meh person toward chocolate but these were just phenomenal. They had these raspberry truffles that made me want to cry they were so good. They had these quirky pistachio covered chocolates that were wonderful.
The 5 stars are well deserved. I will be stopping in.
(I really can’t believe that I said that but ME, yes ME will be making a special trip for chocolate.)

My visit here was such an amazing experience! Chanelle was helping my daughter and I decide what to give as the perfect gift. She was so friendly and sweet. She allowed us to taste some samples from the passion fruit truffles to the famous salted chocolate caramel squares. Every piece just melted in our mouths. We even got a special tour of their kitchen. We will definitely come back here for future presents for friends and family :)

Wonderful & beautiful chocolate. Great gift for anyone.
Always want to visit this place on my visit to LV.
Finally found it and what a surprise place, will come back again!

It was one of the best caramels and chocolate in the world. It was my first time to visit this chocolatier, and taste several chocolates and caramels. Each pieces are so delicate and flavorful. I have to say their Double Salted Caramels was one of the best. Also I love Hazelnut Prairie was so good. I bought Bitter Chocolate, Sea Salt, Earl Grey Tea, Hazelnut Truffles from this chocolatier today. I share with my friends they love so much. We are falling in love with Jean-​Marie Auboine Chocolatier.

Second time coming to JMA chocolates. My mother looks forward to me bringing them home every time I visit. The variety and quality are incomparable!
Got the 38 piece collection, a couple Dragées, and assorted pâté de fruit. Definitely a Vegas must-​try!

By far the best chocolates in Las Vegas. The only place to go for the perfect gift for your chocolate lovers. Highly recommend.

Service was AWESOME!
Although my appearance didn’t express my financial security. (Warm ups and a Dodgers shirt was today’s outfit. YEAH, that’s how I roll.)
Sales representative (sorry, didn’t get her name) was very receptive to my ignorance of the store.
She even let me sample, showcased pieces of chocolate!
I’ll be returning again!

I have found the best Chocolate off the Strip!!!
I went inside and I saw your typical office space with lots of plaques on the wall and brochures. I talked to the receptionist and she called one of the chocolatiers which happened to be Melissa, she’s on brochure (co-​owner).
Melissa is very cool and friendly!!!
I was able to ask her questions about her business and passion for chocolate. She took me into her boutique room where she showed me the different types of chocolates.
Chocolates are unbelievable!!!
They perfectly dissolve in your mouth in the purest form and the layers are thin so it doesn’t feel heavy at all. The crown jewel of there collection are the salted caramels they taste like heaven.
I highly recommend this place it’s a fun experience! Also, it’s a good idea to call before showing up just because they have classes going on.

I don’t like chocolate. Whenever I dine out, I always ask what desserts have no chocolate in them. I even freak out when the kitchen adds a decorative swirl of chocolate sauce to my non-​chocolate dessert. Yes, that is how much I dislike chocolate.
So why the review? Because as much as I hate almost all chocolate, I love fine chocolate. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had truly fine chocolate: the Swiss chocolatier in NYC almost 30 years ago, a chocolate pastry in Paris over 20 years ago, a chocolate dessert at the Wynn about 5 years ago, and the box of chocolates I bought from Jean-​Marie Auboine. Yes, Jean-Marie’s chocolate is THAT good. I also loved his salted caramels. Most salted caramels are too sweet with not enough saltiness, but Jean-Marie’s are perfection.
These chocolates are as good as any you’ll find at the finest chocolatiers in the world. It’s hard to believe that this jewel is tucked away in a nothing little office complex off the beaten path. Just remember the old adage: you get what you pay for. Be prepared to dole out «un bras et une jambe» for these world-​class chocolate morsels. But if you have a special occasion coming up, or you just hit big on a slot, the offerings at Jean-​Marie Auboine are worth every penny.

Now that I’m FINALLY finished my opera performances, I can get my online life back on track! This chocolatier has been bookmarked for a while and I have visited it a few times now, greatly enjoying the indulgent goodies. The showroom is pretty small, but the super sweet salesgal was generous enough to give me enough samples to last the whole day. She kept saying that I could «try this one, and that one over there is also very nice, and if you want another one, just help yourself…» Music to my ears! I actually purchased some treats for takeaway and those were gone entirely too quickly. The salted caramels — excellent. Vanilla cream — smooth and sexy (can a chocolate be «sexy?»). Everything was so creamy and rich, tantalizing my tastebuds with dark chocolate goodness and leaving behind pleasant memories, not unpleasant aftertastes. Go and visit… you will not be disappointed.

Auboine normally sells wholesale, so this place is tucked away into a chocolate warehouse, with a small showroom for retail.
I do these reddit trades on r/​cigars and this months theme is chocolate. I’ve been wanting to go to this place, and now was a perfect excuse to make a special trip here.
I ended up with :
18 pc double salted chewy caramel chocolates — voted as one of the best caramels in the US, and definitely did not disappoint. I dislike when something is said to be salted caramel and isn’t actually salty. This was salty, rich, and sweet in harmony.
Salted vanilla caramels — this tube of plain caramel chews are amazing. It’s a different texture than the chocolate covered caramels, this one is light like air and nice specks of vanilla bean throughout. Amazing.
3 chocolate bars — White chocolate with crunch which was a solid white chocolate, not saccharine like some and creamy. Bitter chocolate with crunch is rather nice too. I like the crunchies in both as it’s like a rice crisp rolled into pearls. We also got a 62% Alto del Peru which has a very distinct chocolate fragrance I find so attractive about it.
While there they had samples out of 5 different treats. Don’t mind if I do! All were fruit and chocolate themed and one that was a red bon bon that looked like half a macaron was lovely as it was almost like a fruity tea filling.
So it’s not exactly cheap chocolate, but it shows in quality too. I’ve had many good chocolates that I like fine, but aren’t worth their high price and I think this actually does. The best way to describe the Auboine difference is that it perfects delicate texture. There’s is a lightness in the texture that I highly like as it lets the richness of the chocolate speak for itself and makes me keep coming back. Take advantage of the $ 25 for $ 50 Unilocal Deal or groupons that have popped up. Well worth it.
This is the type of place that if you need a sweet gift, it’s going to impress even the biggest of chocolate and sweet fiends. I will most definitely be back, mostly for those wrapped caramels as they are divine.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day… do you know where your chocolates are? If you’re looking for the best local, artisan confections without the hassle of visiting a resort on the Strip, head to Jean-​Marie Auboine’s showroom, with a convenient location approximately behind the Orleans.
I first became aware of Jean-​Marie when he reviewed himself on Unilocal,and later had the opportunity to sample his products from his very generous display table at the World Pastry Forum at Red Rock Casino. I lost count of how many times I visited his table, as I found the chunks of cookies and cream bar quite addictive! Hershey’s may have introduced me to this bar, but Jean-​Marie has clearly perfected it by using quality white chocolate and flavorings.
The production facility on Harmon is also used as a school, with classes taught by some of the top chocolatiers in the world. A few famous names have left their signatures and messages on a black wall. Available products were on display in one room, and a lady brought me a sample plate with a raspberry caramel, mango pâté de fruit, two chocolate pralines, and their famous sea salt caramel enrobed in dark chocolate. Additionally, Chef Auboine himself stopped in to greet us, and welcomed us to request samples of any product.
One of the more interesting treats I noticed was dark chocolate covered corn nuts. Standard sized chocolate bars cost $ 8, and I also selected a layered strawberry and vanilla marshmallow for the same price. View Jean-Marie’s beautiful confections online and call ahead to check availability, as the selection in the showroom is solid, but not extensive.
