Ghirardelli Chocolate Outlet

Conveniently located, this is a nice little outlet store. I also appreciate that they give you a free sample chocolate just for walking into the store, but it can be an awkward little space when there are more customers inside. There’s a 15% off coupon on Unilocal,on your receipt, and they usually give you an outlet-​only, never expires, paper coupon for the same, so keep that in mind.
The prices are better than you’d get in a regular Ghirardelli store, and better than a non-​sale price you can get in a grocery store, but unless you’re buying the enormous bags of chocolate (buy 2 get 1 free, buy 3 get 2 free), it doesn’t seem like that significantly better a deal. Nevertheless, I was here to get one of the cable car chocolate boxes, which they keep in stock (but the tin design has changed, and I miss the old red cable car tin, sigh). Coming in post-​holiday can also yield some decent sale items, to the tune of 50% off or so.
I will inevitably be back, because I like chocolate and I pretty much have to stop by and see if anything I like is on sale anytime I’m at the Great Mall. Maybe someday I’ll give into the temptation to buy one of those enormous bags of chocolates…

Great experience. They asked us what company we worked for since we bought a lot of chocolates as gifts for my hubbys upcoming trip and they gave us 20%! Very cool place and offourse the free treat when you walk in!

Ok, I have a confession to make: …I love chocolate. There I said it! Whew! And now that that’s off my chest, I can give them a short and sweet review :)
Inside, they have all different kinds of chocolate, including their seasonal peppermint one, and since it’s that time of the year, all retail prices are/​were 60% off!
Plus, upon entry, you get a customary sampler! I got the Milk Chocolate one with some caramel and from a very nice lady.

Great service! The employees at the shop greet you with samples and offer helpful suggestions when needed. Checkout is fast and they always have great deals on delicious chocolate.

I wanted certain minis flavors, but the special deal for the mini 100 count bags had assorted flavors. Christine, the store manager, was great. She said she would be able to customize the flavors. As she was on vacation when I came in, she had already informed the other supervisors about my situation.
I didn’t give 5 stars because it would have been awesome if they had mentioned the 15% coupon that was available on Unilocal and on the receipt. It was a large purchase and I could have save money.

I come in here often. I’m not gonna lie, the free chocolate wins me over every time. The problem is that it is still really expensive for an outlet. I often come in with the intention to buy something, but leave without because of the prices. Honestly, I can get good chocolate bars for much less elsewhere.
I do like the bulk cases chocolate bar options, though. They are great for favor gifts like at a wedding or something. It is also a fun place to bring out-​of-​town guests who want a SF experience.
I’m going to keep going there, but I’m not promising to buy much.

Nice Place to buy some chocolate and get ready for the holidays.
Service was good.

I can’t believe how can this happen. It’s live white mites (worm) inside chocolate. This is highly disappointing and not expected from brand like Ghiradelli. Brought these chocolates from Ghiradelli outlet in Great Mall Milpitas.

Every time we go to Great Mall, we always drop by this place for their free chocolate samples. The employees that passes out the free samples are always nice and friendly and they would always ask if it’s okay to give our kids chocolate, before they actually do. This place is tiny but it has a lot of Ghirardelli chocolate at cheap prices, compared to retail stores.

If you’re looking for cheap Ghirardelli chocolate, then this outlet will definitely meet your needs! I’ve been here a couple of times and each time is a great experience. For one, they always have an employee hand out free samples; usually an individually wrapped square of their seasonal chocolate. Although the store is small, they have tons of selections of different types of chocolate at around $ 2 and some change for one bag of squares and $ 11 for 4 bags of squares and another option if you want to buy in bulk. The employees are very friendly and knowledgeable and will make sure that you are satisfied with your purchase. 5 stars!

I came in here with my two-​year-​old twin boys and it was a great experience. It’s a really small storefront, but it’s good for what it’s there to do, which is to sell chocolates in a variety of ways for cheap. When I went they had some deals and I’m not sure which ones are temporary and which ones are permanent. 5 bars for $ 10, 4 small packs of single chocolates for $ 11 (or $ 2.95 each), 50 pieces of a single flavor for $ 19.95 (if you get two, $ 5 off, if you get three, $ 12 off, etc.), and they have this display with tons of single chocolates and you can fill bags/​boxes of various sizes for different prices.
The employees were really wonderful. They gave me free samples and asked my permission before giving the samples to my boys (I always appreciate that because not all parents are okay with their children getting high off of chocolate peppermint bark). Also, the boys got restless in their strollers and I took the risk of letting them down. Even though they were touching things on the displays and walking around, I didn’t get a single disdainful stare and all the employees (and customers, thankfully) smiled at them and didn’t give me a hard time. Overall it was a really pleasant trip when it had the potential to just be stressful.

Chocolate heaven! & There’s always free samples! HOW CAN YOU SAY NO?! Yumm.
Check into Unilocal and receive 15% off regular priced chocolate.

Heaven! I love Ghirardelli chocolates and finding this outlet store is a dream come true! They give free samples and with a smile, too! You can even request which chocolates you would like to try and are allowed three to try out during your visit there.
I usually get the box for $ 25 that you can fill up with your single pack favorite flavors. It’s a great deal, and the little carton is just adorable! I checked in on Unilocal to receive 15% off my carton of chocolates. My total was a little over $ 21 dollars out the door. Now that’s sweeeeet!!!

Can you say chocolate madness! This store is packed with an array of chocolates that should satisfy anyone’s needs. Is your relationship with your chocolate bittersweet or sweet and smooth? Either relationship can be satisfied at this outlet. The store offers different sized chocolates; single packs, bag of single packs, bars, boxes of chocolates, balls, baking chocolate, to name a few. The service is as sweet as the chocolates sold here; sorry bitter dark chocolate, you are not included in this analogy. If you are not sure about the shade or flavor of chocolates on display, the staff will gladly allow you to sample it. The more you buy the more you save, with sale packages for any sized wallet. My favorite was the nicely packaged chocolate box pyramid, a perfect gift item that is ready to be delivered to that special one. Also get 15% off after checkin on regular priced chocolates.
By the way Ghirardelli chocolate was incorporated in 1852, and has the richest heritage of any American chocolate company! It has been made in American for over 160 years!

Upon entering Ghirardelli, you will be greeted with smiles and offered a free chocolate sample. You will then be informed of their sale specials for the day. You will find it nearly impossible to walk out empty handed.
The store is quite small, but filled with a variety of goodies. If you are looking to achieve the most savings, buy in bulk. Also, you will find additional mark downs on discontinued holiday themed products.
Make this place one of your required stops at the Great Mall if you love chocolates. The staff are friendly and helpful. You won’t regret it!

Great Service, good prices, love the free samples.

5 bars for $ 10 is a really good deal.
Free samples of a Ghirardelli Square is quite awesome.
Gentlemen, if your ladies prefer Ghirardelli Chocolates’ then they have many Valentine’s Day gift boxes because no matter how much a woman says they don’t want anything for Valentine’s Day — they SO do.
This store is nothing compared to the one in San Francisco but for the outlet mall, it’s great. The workers there were very upbeat and friendly. I walked around and was enticed w/​their 5 bars deal however, I prefer Godiva so I walked away, wallet un-​hurt.
