Godiva

Loading my basket with holiday goodies for the office staff, I waited for the cashier to finish taking another person’s order. Unfortunately, she worked in an infuriatingly unhurried manner with no sense of urgency. I walked out of the store. During this holiday rush, Godiva should be better staffed and not just have one register open. No wonder there were no lines during this busy holiday season.

I had the swirl soft serve in a cone and damn was this good. It is 6 bucks for a cone of ice cream but its good quality stuff. Grab some next time you are shopping at this mall!

I went to the aurora outlet store of godiva a few days ago with my sister. We came in for the trufelleta drinks. I ordered a salted caramel drink, and my sister ordered the strawberry one.
We both enjoyed our drinks. The salted caramel was a mix of salted caramel sauce, belgian chocolate ice cream, ice, and milk. It had the consistency of a milkshake. It had the yummy flavors of rich burnt caramel, dark chocolate, super premium ice cream, and a little coffee. Overall, it was very yummy for six dollars. I thought the price was appropriate. Often times you pay that much money for a shake and expect something great. But, the shake underwhelms you. It was not the case with godiva.
My sister loves her strawberry shake, she has already had it two times. It has the taste of fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce, and belgian chocolate ice cream.
I prefer my shake over hers.

It’s like every other Godiva, friendly staff, typical prices, and of course that ice cream come from heaven!

So sad that the ice cream machine was down on this hot day! It was working earlier but everyone rushed this place for a cold treat!
I am a member of the rewards program but didn’t realize I do not have any free samples on my card. It has been too long since I’ve been here, such a shame!

I had to switch it up for Valentines day this year. I have some awesome people in my life and they deserve the very best. I found exactly what I wanted. Chocolates so delicious that they’d tempt even the most picky eater.
I grabbed a beautiful box of preselected chocolates for my mom. For my dad, the gourmand, a box of hand picked lovelies. And a few cool little teachers gifts.
The service was great. They answered all my questions. And I think I enjoyed picking chocolates probably as much as if I was getting them for myself.

The Godiva stores are generally good, and the Oak Brook Center location is always a fun visit. The staff is always friendly, and sometimes offer free samples.
The truffles are generally good, but not fantastic. If this review were to reflect the wider availability of good truffles in the Chicago area, it would be four stars instead of three. But Unilocal isn’t graded on a curve. You may deserve better, even if you can’t find it.
My wife is a Godiva club member and gets a free chocolate each month. So I’m sure we’ll be back. It’s nice. But four stars? I don’t know.

Yes, this is expensive chocolate. I do wish it were more affordable. I wish I could take off just a half star for the price.
BUT, with that being said, it is very high quality chocolate with the least amount of wax fillers that I know of. It is the most delicious chocolate I have ever tasted, and I am a chocolate addict. This is even better than Fannie Mae, in my opinion.
And everyone who works at this location is always SO nice. I often just come in for my free piece of chocolate each month (I am part of the FREE rewards club, which is awesome). And I’ve never felt like they were annoyed by me when I didn’t buy anything.
Then I came in for my birthday this year, and they gave me some wonderful recommendations, leading me to find my new favorite truffle– the birthday cake truffle!
Love the chocolate, love the employees!

Come for the chocolate, stay for the milkshakes!
I stop by the Godiva at OBT when I need a good shake. I live down the street and walking through the Center is usually a nice compliment to a kick ass Mint Choco Chip Shake. It is at least better than driving through a drive through while sitting in my car.

Love this location — friendly staff, free samples, clean, well-​organized, cute little store.
I usually hit up the post-​holiday/​end of season sales to avoid the high prices, which makes it more worth it :) Besides, if you register for a Godiva membership card, you get a free piece of chocolate every month plus coupons in the mail for free chocolate! Can’t beat that.
Regardless, their chocolate is soo good. Eating Godiva kind of makes you never want to have any cheap drugstore chocolate again.
If you’ve never been, I strongly recommend going!

I love Godiva, so naturally I enjoy this store. The employees are usually fairly friendly, but nothing out of the ordinary.
This store is very clean and well organized and the staff is very helpful.
Now what are you waiting for, get up and go get some truffles! :)

I’d eat Godiva truffles every day if I could afford them. For a cute little gift or a personal sampler, I’m a big fan of their six-​piece Bakery Dessert Truffle box ($ 15).
In Oak Brook, you might also want to try the dessert section in the basement of Macy’s, Harry & David, or Mrs. Fields for an even wider selection of giftable treats (or, in my case, treats for yourself!).

I knew I was in the wrong store when I looked at the price of the chocolate covered strawberries and asked how many came in the $ 4 package. «Oh, those are prices per strawberry»
HOLY #@!%
So either Jesus himself blesses each strawberry individually or the prices here are insane. My first thought was back to the farmer’s markets over the summer where 1 container of 30+ freshly picked, local strawberries cost $ 5. Add in $ 5 more for chocolate and I’m wondering how the hell this place stays in business.
Moving on, I ended up buying 4 truffles — 2 of which the woman behind the counter classified as ‘divine’. My assortment was weighed and totaled at $ 7.92. I was expecting nothing short of perfection for such a large price tag. Good? Sure. Great? Not even close. When it comes to Godiva do what everyone else does: wait to get your gift card from work around the holidays, buy as many overpriced items as possible without exceeding the card limit, and never set foot in this store again.

This location used to be a micro, mini café back in the 90s with a couple of little bistro chairs and tables. They used to serve ice cream… now a days they just have excellent chocolates, hand dipped strawberries and other delectable delicacies. The girls enjoy working there and they do as best a job as they can. They’re friendly and get you on your way.
This is a very good location to get little minikits for holidays as gifts to friends, family, and coworkers. Very convenient for those last minute hospitality gifts.
