Godiva Chocolatier

I love Godiva! They have the absolute best gift chocolate ever and the packaging is always gorgeous.
This location is pretty tiny but cozy and warm nonetheless. It’s tucked over to the side next to The Body Shop at the mall (towards the Nordstrom side where nobody really goes). The workers here are very sweet and are always offering free samples of the chocolate to store patrons.
Definitely join their rewards card program! Active members (members who have spent at least $ 10 within the last 12 months) get a free piece of chocolate every month! THAT’S RIGHT FREEEE CHOCOLATE: D
Chocolates here are certainly pricey but keep in mind they are quite luxurious. You are paying for the brand and the presentation. Rarely do I ever come to buy something for myself. I am only ever here when I need to impress someone or for my FREE MONTHLY CHOCOLATE HEHEHE :)

Worse… worst shake I’ve ever had! For one, it’s so small for the price; secondly, it does not taste rich or chocolatey. We had: chocolate lave cake shake, chocolate hazelnut shake and the white chocolate shake. Not worth the money.

If that’s possible, I would rather give no star for this place. Worst service I’ve ever seen! They were requesting for my receipt to prove I spent over $ 50 a month ago so that I can qualify for only $ 10 rewards even if I said I could show you my credit card statement online right now. When I bought chocolate in December, the lady helping me check out never mentioned about the rewards. Worst experience and I WILL NEVER COME BACK AGAIN.

Godiva is a bit expensive, but it is for a reason. It’s good quality chocolate with many flavors and good ingredients. The chocolates and very rich and many of the very creamy. My favorite are the clusters because they have whole nuts (flavors: hazelnut, pecan, ect.) and caramel. I also like the white chocolate star filled with raspberry jam. Yum!
Around the holidays they have many sales and promotions. This year, late December 2015 the promotional sale was buy one box get one 50% off as well as spend $ 50 and get a $ 10 gift card to use after Christmas.
If you join their free program online you can also pick up a free chocolate of your choice every month as long as you have spent $ 10 that year. They also have a birthday reward as well.
Don’t forget to ask for a sample!

They are not NOT expensive for no reason. They do have pretty darn good chocolates. My favorites are Grand Marnier and Dark Chocolate Truffles. And their soft serve ice cream is so rich and creamy, I felt like I gained 5 pounds from finishing it.

Love getting their soft serve on hot summer days! Super rich, thick and creamy. We always get the swirl soft serve (vanilla bean and dark chocolate) in a cup to share. It’s way too big for just one person, in my opinion. They also have a complimentary topping of chocolate sauce or caramel sauce on top of the soft serve. It’s very pricy ($ 6, yikes!) but once in a while we like to treat ourselves. We also have a stamp card and are trying to get our free soft serve before the end of the summer!
I haven’t tried their chocolates or truffles, but they look delish. Also, customer service is pretty good. I’ll be back (but not too soon, or else I’ll go broke!)

Godiva for the longest time has been my favorite place to get boxes of all purpose chocolate, and still is today!

Their soft serve is the best soft serve ice ever had. I get it with the cone that’s dipped in chocolate.
I just don’t like the service here

I came here to see if they had any chocolate Easter eggs on sale and found several at half price. I gathered enough for the clan and found out I qualified for a gift box and two free chocolates! I hit the mother load of free chocolate just by being a rewards member. I’ve worked at the Fire Station for over 20 years, and the one thing I’ve found out is that women like Godiva Chocolate. Every Christmas and birthdays, I would get some chocolates for the front office, and would be treated like royalty for that day; the next day is the same old grind…
So, when is the best time to buy discounted chocolates? After the major holidays of course, unless they can use the same wrapping paper for the next holiday. However, it’s hard to give someone a rabbit shaped chocolate on Christmas, so use your discretion…

Elegant, sophisticated, indulgent, purely decadent and FREAKING expensive, but hella worth it! That’s what Godiva is to me :)
My favorite thing to buy there: $ 15 Godiva tin box that you stuff as much as you can with their truffle chocolates. I got the assorted varieties such as:
Dark Chocolate
Crème Bruelee
Lava Cake
Milk Chocolate
Caramel
Caramel Nut Brownie
Each piece has creamy filling in the center and melts deliciously in my mouth. One warning, keep it in a cool place otherwise it’ll melt easily. It’s my secret chocolate stash, lol ;)p
Also, Love, Love, Love their Free Chocolate Rewards Program: one piece free per month and for August, which was a truffle ball of choice and I got their Tiramisu truffle ball and their chocolate mint coin (everyone got that one with purchase regardless). Also, if you spend over $ 20, you also get something free, but you can ONLY get that next month along with your next free piece (smart!)
Also, with the holidays coming up, great place to shop for chocolates too!
I’m glad I’ve stopped by their store. I look forward to trying their truffles shakes and ice cream cones next time.

Oh, Godiva~ Times have changed and you along with it!
1. You can still receive a free piece of chocolate every month at this location if you are an active customer, and an active customer is someone who spends $ 10/​year at Godiva stores and/​or
. Not bad considering each free truffle is actually ~$ 2.
2. Their shakes which used to be called Chocolixirs have now evolved into Trufflelatas. While all the names sound incredibly scrumptious and vastly different from its predecessor, I tried the salted caramel trufflelata and it was eerily similar to the milk chocolate caramel chocolixir. For $ 6, you get a shake with a truffle blended in.
3. SOFT SERVE! A few weeks ago, an employee was standing at the storefront passing out samples of soft serve made from Godiva chocolate.
If you’re thinking about purchasing a Trufflelata or soft serve, remember to ask for a stamp card — buy 6, get 1 free!
Don’t be shy to walk in since employees are still relatively friendly and samples are frequently being passed out.

The employees at this location are really friendly and samples are usually handed out. I don’t know why but their high-​tech blender is usually out of service but when it’s on the decadent shake is heavenly! Many of their truffles are delicious and are great gifts for anybody who likes chocolate but I enjoy buying their seasonal chocolates. Independence Day and Halloween truffles are pretty cool.

I came in here the other day for my chocolate covered strawberries! you get around 4 of them for 12.50. Lucky for me I did not pay 12.50 only 2.50 because when you are signed up to their reward program you get a 10 dollar off coupon w/​purchase of 10 dollars or more (on your bday). My Strawberries were so much more awesome, very chocolate and mouthwatering. The strawberries were big and ripe, Just to die for! Get the little cone they are about the same size as the individual one (the individual is $ 7.00) and you get a couple more.

Their chocolates and truffles always look so pretty and delicious… and their chocolate boxes are also packaged so nicely… BUT, I just can’t bring myself to spend that much money on chocolate. The truffles are about ~$ 2.50 a piece! I’ve only had them a few times, usually because I had a gift certificate or something to redeem or someone gifted them to me. But honestly, to me i don’t get a WOW! eating their chocolate. it tastes about the same as other chocolates and i can’t justify spending $$$ on such small pieces.

Valentine’s day is approaching, so I decided to shop at Godiva a bit. I signed up on their website to get the monthly free chocolate reward before I went to the store.
When my mom and I arrived the store, we were greeted and offered a free sample of their truffle (half size for each of us). Then I looked around the store and found nothing on sale, sad. I highly suggest to shop online to get some discounted treats. (First time shopper will also get the free shipping reward)
I wasn’t really interested in buying any of the regular priced gift boxes, but I felt bad for just getting the free monthly chocolate without any purchases. So I ordered the chocolate dipped strawberry (it’s huge but so pricy: $ 9), the matcha green tea truffle, double chocolate raspberry truffle and champagne truffle. The strawberry crème tarte truffle and salted almond truffle as the free monthly chocolate.
To be honest, all the chocolate were a bit too sweet (though the sweetness was not as exaggerated as the ones from See’s), so I preferred a little sourness from the fruity flavored truffle to balance the sweetness. I liked the dipped strawberry, strawberry crème tart and double chocolate raspberry truffles; the savory of the champagne truffle was a bit too strong and the salted almond truffle was just average (not enough salty taste in my opinion). The texture of the chocolate was finer than the cheap ones, but I wasn’t too impressed of the overall tastes compared to their prices. The matcha green tea truffle was a disappointment to me. I love matcha green tea, but the this one had a strong savory of either bergamot or ginger, not pure match green tea powder taste. Also, the sales person should had wrapped the green tea truffle since it’s very powdery outside; instead he left it with some other truffles in the same bag, which slightly affected the tastes of the other ones.
I know it’s Godiva, prices were towards high end; so I had high expectations of tastes. Since my expectation wasn’t fulfilled, everything in-​store seemed overpriced. The only good thing is to get the monthly sample. I will only considered shopping online for some occasions.

Every month you get free piece of chocolate if you are part of their rewards club! Free to sign up! I love their truffles… Saaaaaaweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

If you join their e-​mailing list, you can get a free chocolate every month. YUMMMMM!!! This place is kind of tiny, but so packed with chocolate that you don’t get a sweet tooth about the small space! The workers here are super nice. Personally, I like Godiva more than See’s. Birthday Cake!

I loveeeee godiva!
I cant pinpoint when it was when i first had my first taste of the most delicious chocolate ever! All i know is, that it touched my lips and i fell instantly!
I don’t get it often cause at $ 2.50 a truffle its a tad bit hefty on the wallet and the belly! Only on certain occasions i splurge and treat myself to some chocolate covered strawberries.$ 7 each or 4 for $ 12 …crazy!
thankfully my friends loves me and know to get it for me from time to time =)

They are really nice here and helpful. For the most part chocolate is chocolate, either really bad or good. Most people usually come here b/​c it’s diff from See’s…I guess more high class haha, fancy flavors of chocolate. I enjoyed the Mint Choc Chip Truffle, taste just like the ice cream. And the chocolate covered strawberries are good too.

Note: Most of the time I won’t comment on price b/​c it’s a given when you look up places to eat on Unilocal.But if its a great value or poor value then I’ll prob say something.

I love this chocolatier. Yummylicious chocolates, cookies and hot cocoa.
Sometimes they even send you coupons for free drinks and chocolates. My hot cocoa is from here. I like most of its cookies, especially Hazelnut praline.
Now lets talk about its chocolate. I would do almost anything for its champagne truffles. Delicious chocolate with yummylicious liquidy center. This sweet chocolate is so addicting. They sell cute heart shaped champagne truffles for Valentine’s Day. Grab few bags and share them with your loved ones.
4 stars!
Godiva Chocolatier’s champagne truffle is yummylicious!
