Godiva Chocolatier

Good service, good candy. Someone just needs to tell people where the line is because everyone gets confused going in there. But the staff are friendly.

This store service is really bad! We visited on Black Friday and try to fill it with those fill it yourself bag. I brought my bag to check out and the manager told me that I filled too much and they want refill for me. So they grab another bag and get my chocolate all out without asking my opinions.

Godiva is my «back up» chocolate place when I am not in the area of my favorite chocolate place.
Yep, it’s extremely pricey here so be ready.
Selection is good, service was friendly and the location is at the Carlsbad Factory Outlet Mall.
Forgot to try their soft serve ice cream ~ it looked delicious.

I received an email for a $ 10 gift for my birthday from Godiva Chocolatier, so I was able to redeem my gift at this location. Definitely one of the perks of signing up on Godiva’s email list! You basically get $ 10 worth of merchandise from any boutique – which isn’t a lot, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.
Because it was a hot and sunny spring afternoon, the dessert shop was a bit more crowded than I would have liked it to be. I heard customers asking about the soft serve, but it turned out that the machine was down. So, instead, I noticed people ordering the brand’s «Trufflelata» drinks – which looked like a blended, iced coffee – and they looked really good. Instead of shelling out some extra cash to buy a pack of «Chocolate Covered OREO Cookies,» I decided to invest in a «Trufflelata» drink and a few truffles to make the most of my $ 10 offer.
The girl at the counter was extremely helpful when I was trying to decide between «Trufflelata» flavors and I just had to pay a small difference because my purchase was slightly over $ 10. But, I have to say, this was a great way to make use of my birthday gift … especially because it was SO HOT outside! I’d definitely recommend the «Trufflelata» drink to anyone who likes chocolate truffles and wants a sweet, refreshing pick-​me-​up.
Here’s what I recommend:
«Chocolate Lava Cake Trufflelata»: This luscious drink is basically a cold, creamy, sippable shake that features a chocolate truffle as its base. You can choose from six different flavors, and «Trufflelatas» cost $ 6 each (same price as the soft serve), but I can assure you that it’s $ 6 well spent. I was torn between the «OREO» and «Chocolate Lava Cake» flavors, but the girl told me that the «Chocolate Lava Cake» and «Hazelnut Crunch» were the most popular options, so that cemented my decision. This dark, rich, chocolaty drink featured the «Chocolate Lava Cake Truffle,» which is made of dark chocolate liquid fondant with dark ganache inside a dark chocolate shell. I ordered mine without the whipped cream – but with the chocolate drizzle – and it was simply heavenly. This sweet concoction really hit the spot on this sunny, hot afternoon. I liked how the shake was smoothly blended, but I could still crunch on the chopped-​up truffle bits. And, because the shake mainly consisted of dark chocolate, it was sweet but not overly sweet. I’d definitely order this option again and it was a great intro to the «Trufflelata» line.
«Truffle & Heart Fudge Pops»: Since I needed to buy a few extra individual chocolates to hit the $ 10 mark, I opted for these fudge pops … I believe they’re a seasonal selection (for Valentine’s Day), but they were too cute to resist. They reminded me of cake pops, but in truffle form. These «Heart Pops» basically feature milk chocolate truffles decorated with fluttering heart sprinkles on a pop stick. Festive and delicious, these sweet little treats were to die for. Super cute and I’m glad I got my hands on them.
«Chocolate Covered OREO Cookies»: I love OREOs in of themselves, but I have yet to try the chocolate-​covered versions from Godiva. They’re available in milk or dark chocolate, but they are pretty pricy – one bag cost $ 12.50, I believe, and I think you only get five cookies. Still, these treats always look tempting when I’m in Godiva, and I’m sure I’ll end up trying them at some point.
«OREO Trufflelata»: This is the «Trufflelata» flavor that I contemplated getting because I love cookies and cream flavors … plus, OREOS have to be my favorite cookie. Next time for sure! This shake features white chocolate, OREO cookies and the Cookie Dough Truffle, which is made of cookie dough ganache in a milk and white chocolate shell with dark chocolate chips. It’s then topped off with fresh whipped cream and a crushed OREO. I basically chose not to order this drink on this visit because I preferred the dark chocolate base of the «Chocolate Lava Cake» and not the white chocolate base of this drink, but because I love cookies ‘n cream-​inspired treats, I definitely want to order this «Trufflelata» flavor next time.
«Chocolate Lava Cake Dessert Truffles»: I also bought two of these individually wrapped «Chocolate Laval Cake» dessert truffles, which I figured I would like because they were the basis of my «Trufflelata» shake. I like both dark chocolate and milk chocolate, but on this day I was simply craving dark chocolate. This dessert truffle features a layered, dual filling of molten chocolate over decadent dark chocolate ganache in a dark chocolate shell. They provide that perfect pick-​me-​up whenever you need a quick sweet fix. I like how you can indulge in that decadent dark chocolate center, but because the exterior shell is made from dark chocolate, the sweetness isn’t overwhelming.

I like this location. Again very close to my timeshare and convenient. Employees have always been friendly. The store itself is a large location. The sales are always good :) Yes it can be a bit expensive but hey its chocolate and Godiva people. lol … They always have a big selection on hand ready to eat!

Mmmmm… Gooodiiiivvvaaaa… A must stop when I am in the area, if not only to grab my free piece of chocolate but definitely a raspberry chocolate shake. The staff is always patient and nice, and of course the prices are a bit steep, but damn its good.

The chocolates are amazing but they were out of everything I asked for! What kind of place that serves ice cream are out of napkins? all would have been fine if I didn’t get super shorted out of a $ 6 ice cream. One was considerably less than the other.
They also ran out of the cones with nuts and when I asked for some on the side they didn’t have it also. For $ 6 an ice cream I expected a little extra ice cream or something come on! Talk about horrible value and bad customer service for supposedly a upscale place.
Not going back to that specific one ever.
Horrible.
I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 cuz the ice cream & chocolates are still amazing dispute poor management and bad customer service.

It was a hot day and we went shopping at Carlsbad Premium Outlet. Order a chocolate hazelnut iced drink, kinda like shake or frappé. The beverage tasted really like liquid ferrero, it’s super thick and rich. Delicious, but too filling! So make you don’t drink it when you are full.

The ladies working yesterday were very nice. Acknowledge and greeted when we came in, offered samples of chocolate and yogurt. I had sweets already for the day but will come back to try their new yogurt drink.

Great chocolate. One good thing about this place is if you become a member, you get a free bonbon each month. Also, other Unilocalers mentioned the specials that are available. I loved the service — also I was given a little sample of the hot chocolate. Incredible!
If I’m in the mood for decadence, I know exactly where to go.

Love Godiva. Can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t. The service was great and the people were helpful/​friendly. The variety of samples they serve are the main draw for many.

This is not candy, this chocolate is for adults so expect a pay adult prices. This is the only location in North County except Escondido. I come to this location about once a month to get my free piece and the hot chocolate or the shake. The service seems great but some but of the employees know me so I’m sure that helps. They always have something new like the chocolate covered oreo’s or the rice krispes. My favorites are the chocolate cover macaroons, the hot chocolate and just about anything in the case. They have chocolate covered pretzels, coffee, cookies and chocolate bars. I love to use the chocolate bars to make smore’s. I even have a gift card that I can add money to, I have about 40.00 on that card :)

Having gone to a number of Godiva shops, including this one multiple times, I have to say that I am rather disappointed by the service offered here. I frequently get Godiva as gifts, and there have been several occasions where I feel like several workers here judge me for being a college student and treat me differently than the adults who enter. The last time I visited, the worker offered samples to an adult couple, but completely ignored me and my girlfriend at the shop. Then, when I purchased my items, I was quite surprised when they refused to give me a bag for each of my boxes of chocolates (they had large piles of bags next to the register). Thankfully, I was able to get the extra bags and ribbons at another store, but it is rather disappointing that the workers treat people differently depending on their age.

Well the guys works here looks very professional and very kind and great service but they messed up our shake :-/​taste horrible couldn’t drink it at all. And I think it’s not shake, more like frappé.

I went in there today to get two pieces of chocolate from the display case. As I’m browsing, I saw a large gnat in the case. While I’m not a germophobe, I couldn’t bring myself to buy chocolate from the display case.

This is such a great Godiva location! This location is inside the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. It’s kindof interesting that this is an «outlet» location however it is larger than the typical Godiva locations that I have been in. In general the biggest difference that I have noticed in this location is that they carry the closeout merchandise from the regular stores and some of their prices are a little lower.
What’s cool is that they also carry the current promotional items that are available in their regular stores as well. I have always had great service here. I often stop in to bring treats home. If you have never tried one I STRONGLY recommend the chocolate dipped macaroons!

Thank Heaven that this Godiva boutique opened up at the Carlsbad Outlet Center, it’s about time! I even signed up for their Chocolate Club — want free truffle monthly? Heck yes!!! You’d be insane NOT to love this place!

If you want to make an impression towards a new boss, acquaintance, or your significant others family… Godiva is the way to go!
Last Christmas, I bought a few mini gift packs and they were a big hit! The chocolates were delicious. Pretty much everything in Godiva is delicious. My personal favorite is their chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate covered almonds.
Being located in an outlet mall, they have better sales and prices. A downside to that though is parking can be horrendous especially on weekends and during the holidays!

Join their chocolate club.
