Blue Frog Chocolates

I’m seriously kicking myself for never coming to this specialty chocolate shop sooner. Thanks goodness for out of town friends that bring me to wonderful places in my own city that I would normally pass up on my own. Blue Frog Chocolates will be my go-​to specialty chocolate shop from now on! I was seriously surprised at the size of the store and the massive variety of chocolates there are to choose from. You can easily get lost in all the choices. They also make frozen hot chocolate which is out of this world amazing!
I’d consider giving the gift of chocolate much more often knowing this shop is in town. I think anyone who received a gift from here would be very pleased. To top it all off Blue Frog loves Unilocal!!!They have a great check-​in offer of a free piece of chocolate, and you get to choose from milk dark or white chocolate. I can’t wait to go back!

I love this shop! I came today as this is a location on Magazine that is participating in the Where’s Waldo event going on this month. I am glad that I came and experienced. I got a box of mixed chocolates as a gift, peanut butter fudge for another friend and a praline iced coffee for myself. The store is a super cute converted house that does have a driveway, but limited parking. There are chocolates in unusual shapes (frogs, musical instruments, adult only, doctor accessories, and so much more), and very interesting truffles. It is a great candy shop! When seeing the adult chocolates, the 50 cent song candy shop got stuck in my head! The gal behind the counter was super nice.

Always worth the stop when we make it to New Orleans. Love the chocolate covered sunflower seeds & the truffle choices. The hot chocolate is amazingly good, too!

There is nothing better than stepping out of the hot summer sun into the cool blast of a quaint air conditioned confectionery! Blue Frog is an old fashioned chocolate candy store with delicious delights in every display. I didn’t know I needed chocolate covered pomegranate seeds until I discovered them. Blue Frog features themed chocolate items for your favorite teacher (chocolate apple), nurse (chocolate syringe, stethescope), judge (chocolate gavel). They even have a chocolate bar where they will custom make an icy sweet chocolate dring complete with whipped cream and chocolate shaving toppers. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Blue Frog Chocolates is my happy place!

A WILLY WONKA ‘S DREAM COME TRUE
After a delicious and satisfying lunch across the street at Slice Pizzeria, we decided to pick up some dessert for later. When you first walk into the shop you will see those big happy frogs on the walls. After the frogs you become totally immersed in the wonderful smell of rich chocolate. Blue Frog Chocolates will fulfill any chocoholics fix. You wish you can have one piece of everything that is available, but you know that is not really possible.
We end up with four larger than normal pieces of truffle (Salted Caramel, Dulce de Leche, Double Dark Chocolate and Turtle) from the kitchens of Nancy’s Candy Company of Dan, Virginia and some orange peel slices from Blue Frog. Between the two of us we are just sharing one piece of chocolate per evening. That says a lot about the richness of the chocolate experience!

Great for gifts and souvenirs! Friendly place. Everything we’ve tried was yummy. Candy flower bouquets are a nice mothers day gift.

In New Orleans, there are many ways to indulge, but Blue Frog Chocolates is a must! Not only do they have the fresh chocolates in the back, but also unqiue variations of chocolates that you can give as gifts (flowers, musical instruments, streetcar tokens, ect) all around the store — and they always have new stuff. And you can’t forget to check out their «naughty chocolate» section!
I get excited seeing BFC at events too. Their chocolate covered Zapps are the best ending to my Oak St. PoBoy Fest experience!

Treat yourself to a temple of chocolate indulgence. I have never seem anywhere a place offering the range of first-​rate chocolates and truffles as at Blue Frog. They have some amusing accessories for chocolate enthusiasts at all addiction stages. Don’t pause at the door and worry that You May Not Be Worthy, you Know you are, just sashay in and immerse yourself in the orders, surrounded by chocolate. BF stands in a row of other boutiques in a pleasant part of uptown New Orleans, so make this a destination. I have even made custom orders for unique combinations I’ve encountered elsewhere. When buying small boxes for others, I always get one «Roary» to celebrate being such a good human.

I reached out to Blue Frog asking if they might be able to put together a little welcome bag for guests of an event I was planning down in New Orleans. Not only were they super responsive to my request, putting together a quote in less than an hour, they also took my ideas to heart seriously about how I wanted the gifts to be very New Orleans focused (not just generic candy.) We ended up getting little gift bags with tissue paper and the Blue Frog brand on them with chocolate fleur de lis, a chocolate state of Louisiana with a heart sprinkle over NOLA (so cute), a gold foil covered chocolate Mardi Gras dubloon, and a praline. They even threw in a cute magnet with their slogan: «Chocolate: Mother Nature’s way of making up for okra» in there, too.
The bags were great, they were delivered to the hotel as requested, and they were a real hit. I would recommend working with the Blue Frog team for organizing similar small gifts for weddings and other events– or just stopping in and eating some of their treats– the attendees of my event could not stop raving about them!

While my friends was next door trying on every single item on the rack, I ended up wandering off to Blue Frog Chocolates.
Check in on Unilocal would get you a free Fleur de lis Chocolate Square!
Wandering around the store is an awesome experience as you are practically surrounded with more sweet than just chocolate!
I just wish I was in New Orleans when it was not as hot, as I ended up have to eat all the chocolate before they melt… but it can be a good thing…

Such a great shop!
Whenever I passed Blue Frog, I always kind of assumed that it was just a «do it yourself/​build your own box» type of chocolate shop. While you can pick and choose chocolates from the case, they also have an assortment of all kinds of chocolates that you can give as gifts or just enjoy yourself. My faves that I saw were the chocolate musical instruments, chocolate water meters, chocolate streetcar tokens and chocolate gators. A definite «must» for anyone who is visiting NOLA and wants a «different» kind of souvenir to bring home.
They have a TON of cute gift ideas and I could never go through them all, but I will say that I thought that the chocolate gavel geared towards someone who just graduated law school was SUPER cute.
Stop in here and look around. You are sure to find something that you like. I can’t wait to see if they get anything special in for Halloween!

A trendy chocolate shop, but not inexpensive.

Delicious chocolates! You can go up to the counter and order from the case or wander around their shop and find pre-​packaged sweets and treats.
I highly recommend trying their chocolate iced drinks. They are super yummy (and a great treat in the hot New Orleans weather).

I love Blue Frog! It’s almost a hidden gem in plain sight. They have the cutest prepacked candy, but the best is the fresh chocolates in the back. OMG to die for!!! The best dark chocolate, love the truffles. Had a free chocolate for checking in when I went to get some Valentine’s gifts and I didn’t wait to eat it, it was gone in 30 seconds! Satisfies my chocolate craving for sure.

If Shannon gave a place four stars, it must be good, right? In this instance I am inclined to agree with him and all of the other reviewers. While I would not normally go into a shop like this, I really liked Blue Frog.
Imagine an old house converted into an excellent chocolate store, and you will have a good idea of what Blue Frog is all about. There were a huge selection of different treats on shelves and two large glass display cases. There was even an area for naughty chocolate thongs and body paint. I would imagine the thong may quickly melt, but I digress.
I purchased several different items, including toffee, mushroom shaped chocolate, pralines and an egg shaped turtle. Everything was good, but the turtle egg was incredible. I wish I would have bought more than one.
There is temporary parking to the left of the building. I wish I would have noticed that before trekking a block in the rain, but it was well worth it. If you have a chocolate craving, go to Blue Frog.

Latest addiction? dark chocolate non-​pareils and instead of white candy bits, they’re purple, green and gold. Seriously, Blue Frog is my go to shop for fancy chocolates or other yummy candies. Love that they’ve added some tables & chairs so that you can sit and enjoy their goodies on site.
Love the assortment of seasonal items that they get for holidays.

I had hinted at my boyfriend that it would be so nice to get surprised with chocolate someday… it was half serious, half joke. I had never been to Blue Frog, although I had heard of it. Well, my oh so sweet boyfriend took the hint and surprised me with a box of crawfish shaped chocolates and a blue frog. Being one for silly humor, I got a huge kick out of getting a blue frog from blue frog. I now had to go to the store and see what else they had.
Blue Frog is absolutely adorable– the place felt so cozy, really friendly employees, and a few rooms full of all sorts of chocolate and candies– you could find something to please everyone here. They offer shaped chocolate (in pretty much every shape possible), boxed chocolate, jelly beans, gummies, etc. They had items perfect for baby showers, birthdays, weddings, or just because. They had a lot of local and seasonal items as well– they make really cute gifts. At the counter they had a case of chocolates to buy. you can buy 1 or a variety!
Love, love, love Blue Frog!

This is a nifty boutique chocolate store that has some very interesting and often local themed confections. This is a great place to get a tasty gift for those who love all things chocolate. I personally ate about 100 pieces of their chocolate this past Christmas so I might possibly have sampled almost every «flavor» of chocolate that they offer (including the blue frog… yes they really have a blue frog chocolate). Every time I’ve visited this store they seem to have something new and interesting so it is always a great place to check out.

Someone brought a cellophane baggie of Blue Frog’s Cajun Chocolate Bites to work.
After the first bite, I was hooked.
The chocolate bites are larger than an M&M and more rounded than a Smarties.
These bites are spicy on impact, but don’t leave you watery-​eyed. The spiciness helps bring out the amazing flavor of the dark chocolate. These aren’t the type of chocolate that only burns as it goes down the throat, making you cough. These are smooth and delicious.
Palmface moment: I can’t believe I was in NOLA over new year’s and didn’t know 1) Blue Frog was there, or that 2) it had been selected as best chocolate shop in NOLA for several years running.

OOoooh-​LA-​LA!
My mom dragged me in here one afternoon while she was visiting the city and I am so glad that she did, at the dismay of my waistline…
They have chocolate EVERYTHING. Chocolate iPods, Port-​filled chocolate bottles… it’s like my childhood dream in air-​conditioned glory! Candy bouquets, wall-​to-​wall of confection and sugar galore…
If you like chocolate stop reading reviews, catch the next streetcar, taxi, ride, (whatever) to this place.
