Ordered a few chocolates from Morkes and every part of the process was wonderful. Easy to order, sent and delivered quickly, wrapped nicely, and the statues themselves looked amazing. They were a hit at the event we ordered them for. Will def be ordering again from Morkes. Wonderful company and great experience.
Well, I just found the best cherry sour candies anywhere!!! And wow, the donuts are delectable! So many chocolate and candy choices, from truffles to gummies and all things St. Patrick's Day themed, you're sure to find just the right item to satisfy any sweet tooth. Definitely the place to go for all your chocolate and sweets cravings!
Stopped by seeing this sweet little independent Chocolate Shop in Rand Road. Inside is this well managed Chocolate wonderland, with lot of varieties of home made chocolate, freshly made donuts, and other treats. Bought home made chocolate mix and match ( they either give in a bag or in a box). Also the doughnuts tasted good. Definitely will be stopping again. Slightly overpriced, but being a small business and how well the store is kept, makes sense.
Yummy donuts! Especially the sea salted caramel! It was my first time in and the lady who helped me gave me a free donut too! Looking forward to visiting soon to try the chocolates!
Best baked goods in South Lake County. The staff are exceptionally friendly, too! If you celebrate Fat Tuesday, their paczkis are also can't miss.
Great spot for gifts, birthdays, holidays. Had a fun time in the back making special chocolate creations! Highly recommended for group events. Super fun. Delicious chocolate.
THE BEST yellow cake and Devil?s Food cake donuts aren?t made in a donut shop?they?re made in a chocolate shop ? MORKES. Every year I take a couple dozen to the family reunion picnic. Every year they?re the first thing to go!
This place may be delicious but it is severely over priced and the staff was not friendly in the least. I stood in front of the cashier for a few minutes asking if I could check out and she just sat there staring at other people that were waiting on something. I asked if they were done and she literally ignored me. Just was not a pleasant experience at all.
Great, local business, with such a friendly staff! The chocolate banana donut is criminally underrated! One of the best donuts I've ever had.
When I walked in, I was kindly greeted by an employee there. Customer service was great and friendly. The atmosphere inside is very fancy and feels inviting. Their donuts which I decided to try today, are a little pricey, ($2 a donut, I got 8.) but they are super delicious and have a way more authentic taste and texture than Dunkin' or any other shop that sells donuts nearby. Great experience.
Great donuts. The best around. Their coffee is also very good and reasonably priced. Love this place!
I haven't been to the store myself but was brought some doughnuts and carmel/chocolate apples by a colleague and everything was amazing. I usually get stomach aches from fried or processed doughnuts but theirs tasted more bread like and natural and I didn't get that feeling. The apples I ate were the chocolate covered nut kind that is I was told one of their known fors. I also had the chocolate sea salt which was awesome too.
Not only delicious chocolates, candies, and fudge, but also unique gifts made out of chocolate! There's something for everyone! Their baked goods and fresh brewed coffee, pair well while sitting at a bistro table inside or outside at a larger table. Great Chocolatier that started their business in 1920 in Chicago and has a few locations now. A must visit if you love chocolate!
Yummy to my tummy, if I lived here, I'd go every day all day and camp out to be ready for the next. Kind service with a decadent fix. I was glad I was able to sneak some back on the plane.
I received a box of candy that was shipped to me. Candy was very wet and leaking sticky substance. I tried a piece and it was very bitter. The box was so sticky I had to wash my hands. I ended up tossing it because I was afraid to eat it. The shipping box was not damaged but the candy was. Some of the candy had holes in the chocolate. Not good at all for what the price was.
Very disappointing experience. Order placed by phone for shipping. Order never arrived, employee maintained ?it wasn?t her fault it was UPS.? UPS maintains Morkes put the wrong address on the shipping label. After 3 calls I was given a refund- no offer to make it right. The candy order was to be favors for my husband?s surprise 60th party.
Great, delicious assortment of candy, taffy apples etc. Dangerous place to be if you like chocolate. They also have fudge and dohnuts
Brought a group here for a party. We had so much fun! Great service. The staff went above and beyond to help us. Definitely will be back!
Came here because the reviews were pretty good for my wife's birthday gift. The woman behind the counter was extremely helpful and polite. This chocolate store was more than I expected as the choices were immense. Bought a box of assorted pieces which were picked out by my wife & she's loving each one. Also picked up some amazing donuts, also very tasty. I will definitely be back as they are truly a chocoholic heaven!! Thank you for making one of my wife's birthday gifts so wonderful!! An update about thi
It doesn't get better than hand made donuts and candy. Everything is just delicious and so fresh. I have loved every single thing I've eaten from there. Definitely make it there as soon as possible and you'll be hooked for life.
Morke?s chocolates, donuts and taffy apples are obviously delicious (the best around). But don?t overlook their gluten free cookies. Hard to find GF cookies, but to find ones that are amazingly delicious is exciting! We order them by the dozens. You would never know they are gluten free. Just ordered again this morning and can?t wait to pick them up this afternoon lol
Awesome chocolate and the worlds best cider doughnuts
Great shop if you love chocolate like I do!
Great selection. Staff is very friendly. Happy with my custom order.
I recently visited Morket's Chocolate, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The owner, Rhonda Dehn, was incredibly unprofessional, treating both her employees and customers with a lack of respect. It was disheartening to witness employees being mistreated right in front of customers. This created a very uncomfortable atmosphere, and it was clear that the staff was unhappy. As a customer, I also felt disregarded and poorly treated, which is not what you expect when visiting a local bus
Drove by this little shop so many times and finally decided to go in and try the donuts. Wow I was impressed by how delicious they were and fresh even at 4 pm . The best donuts I?ve had in this area. The shop had so many other treats too which all looked tempting and the store itself smelled divine. I will definitely be a returning customer..if you have a sweet tooth or just want to to treat yourself or your friends /family do yourself a favor and visit this shop!
I ordered a chocolate sculpture of a dog and it came out great. I had it sent to my mom's house for Christmas and she loves it. The manager helped me over the phone with the shipping and was very nice and answered all my questions. Will order again.
I brought my daughter here to try their donuts and they were every bit as tasty as reviewers had said! To top it off, the service was very friendly, and the outdoor covered eating area was the perfect place to enjoy our sweet treats. We will definitely be back!
My first time there today, purchasing a gift for a friend. I ordered about 250.00 worth of chocolate. I was given back an assortment of chocolate and I have been eating them all day. The staff was very kind, and friendly, and I thank them so much for helping me pick out the perfect chocolates for my friend. So delicious! Thank you!!
Walking into the shop will remind you of Willy Wonka with treats from floor to ceiling in every shape, size, and type. My favorite is actually their donuts (cider spice in the fall in particular). Always a great place for your Valentine gift or basket for friends or clients.
The only place to go for chocolate gifts. Fantastic service and fabulous chocolate.
Went in there based on an article in Chicagoparent as a recommendation for hot chocolate. It was okay definitely had better was getting chunks towards the end. The kids enjoyed the apple caramel. We tried the clusters the toffee was a hit, the nut ones couldn?t taste the kinds of nuts?assuming they were a bit stale
Love the chocolate orange peels and carmel apples.
I have utilized Morkes for all of my chocolate needs, from the incredible creamy fondue chocolate, the peanut brittle(my favorite), the high-end taffy apples and the donut Birthday cakes. I have never been disappointed. The manager there, Jane always has a kind word and is unbelievable at her job. She helped me plan a surprise chocolate and wine party in their private space and it was phenomenal. Highly recommended! D
Such a cute little place to get doughnuts, caramel apples, chocolate covered strawberries, truffles, chocolates or candy. Oh they have coffee too! It?s a great place to get a gift if your loved one likes sweets. Im addicted to their doughnuts. There are so many flavors. The cake doughnuts are perfectly fried, soft delicious inside with a sweet icing on top.
I had never heard of Morkes until one day I was in Palatine on business and spotted this place out of the corner of my eye. I am so glad that I stopped in, for I was immediately transported to a magical world of old school charm and delicious treats, simply an unforgettable experience. A visit to Morkes is guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone?s face as it is indeed a reminder that the simple pleasures of life are indeed the tastiest!
Best covered strawberries We have had ever.
A recent wedding client of ours used Morkes Chocolates as an added sweet treat for the guests on their wedding day. The 200 chocolate covered strawberries were simply divine and the communication and experience of working with this team was kind and efficient. Highly recommend.
They have great sugar free chocolates. Their donuts are always fresh and tasty. They have a different flavor donut every week.
I can't say enough about Rhonda & her team at Morkes! My daughter wanted a decadent little treat for her wedding guests, & Morkes not only had the right mint truffle chocolates, they were each dusted in the wedding theme color, put into a little gold box, & decorated with pretty mini green leaves & ribbon. They not only looked adorably elegant, they tasted devine! Rhonda & the staff are so helpful & responsive too. Loved everything about our experience!
Tried this place for the first time today after hearing so many good reviews on great tasting chocolate and ?the best donuts? unfortunately I have to almost strongly disagreed. We got quite the mix of items today and honestly, I think maybe only one or two things were good out of everything the donuts are I hate to say it probably on the bottom of the list of good tasting donuts that we have ever had . one that we got was an original which was completely drenched in chocolate and it was terrible and we coul
We were here for a bday party. The kids had lot of fun with 3 chocolate projects. We tried some of there chocolates and they were good. I wish the store was little well organized and they had less products to display. Every corner and open space of the store was filled with chocolates. Their chocolates taste really good. We go there again.
I have been here a few times. It is a beautiful chocolate shop . They are so creative with the molds they use too . The one part not many people know about as they are shocked when I tell them is they have fresh donuts. The type of donuts that make you order a dozen for people at the office and play sick just to stay home and eat them!!!! Don?t get any ideas but I am telling you they are amazing along with the wonderful people who work there . I love it !
Morkes is a must-visit if you are in the area and are at all interested in chocolate or donuts! The staff is incredibly nice, the chocolate is incredibly tasty (in all shapes and sizes and flavors), and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality. I love coming by whenever I'm in the area.
I decided to try morkes chocolate for the first time today. Let?s start with the pros. The staff was super friendly, and they tried to help me while I was indecisive of what I wanted. The store was well stocked. They have a ton of cute special occasion gifts. Now let?s talk about the cons. There are 3 different ways to get into the store, super confusing for a first timer. The prices are way over priced. I decided to try the peanut butter cup. You are paying 4 dollars for the jar of peanut butter they stuff
I visited Morkes for the first time, September 16, 2023. The shop from the parking lot reminded me of a mystical little cottage ?? deep in a forested ???? area in northern Ireland ????. The outside architecture is so unique and quaint. Like a begoning appeal to enter. Really liked that feeling. ?? When you enter the front door of unique wood, not sterile metal stuff you find an inner room like found in old homes. I beleive they called them a sitting room. No seats just a neat from the outside before ente
Fantastic chocolate! The peanut butter cups are my favorite. Got my girlfriend a variety of toffee and she loved it..breakfast toffee is the best out of all the toffees in our opinion. This place's service is excellent, and it speaks volumes considering it is tiny and I went a day before valentine's day and managed to get in and out quickly as they properly staffed their shop to meet the demand.
The chocolate and various sweets are delicious from here. They have tons of different molds for the chocolate and can custom make any you would like if they don't already have it. The donuts are also delicious. They have varying seasonal sweets and the prices are always very reasonable. If you are in the area and have a sweet tooth it is definitely worth making a stop.
This place is magical! Unfortunately, I am also diabetic and it magically made my blood sugar go up just from smelling how good everything was! My wife LOVED the shoes!!!!
Muffins, chocolates and so much more. Well worth every visit
Morkes has great donuts, if you are lucky enough to ever get them. We?ve been there at least six different times for the donuts advertised on their large, tall sign, and they have been out EVERY TIME. This is not at the end of the day. We just went there again today at noon, and they were sold out of the chocolate raspberry donuts advertised. Didn?t even have frozen day-old. They are open until 5pm today. If you are always sold out, doesn?t common business sense tell you to make more donuts!
We had a nice time despite some service related issues. We were told that we'd be the last party of the night, so we could extend our time. Instead, they booked a party right after ours, so we were rushed the entire time. When my nieces arrived late, we were very curtly told that there wasn't time for them to do any of the chocolate making. And, while packing our boxes with the molded chocolates the hostess dropped my nephew's box onto the floor. Accidents happen, but we were told that we would not be charg
I always love stopping in at Morkes Chocolates. Everything they sell is beautiful and tastes amazing from their candies to their homemade donuts. All delish!
Went to try the donuts, got half a dozen. The lady who helped me was a little on the rude side and after I got my order and was looking around started arguing with another lady working there. The donuts nothing special and over priced. Actually Little disappointed for the price. Spunky dunkers is way better.
best chocolate and doughnuts ?? in town ??
I hate to leave a negative review for a place that makes great treats. I went in on Feb 14 to buy something sweet for the hunny. I purchased a box of turtles that came out to 32.95. I have no problem with the price, these are great chocolates. Except that the next day I after reviewing my bank account i noticed i was charged twice for only 1 box of chocolates. Of course i said no when offered a receipt so i didn?t notice until the next day. On February 15 I called to bring up the mistake and was told i woul
Bad costumers service. I placed an order 5 days prior to an event I had. When my husband got there to pick up the order he was told that the order wasn't ready because I had placed the order a day before. I dislike untruthful statements. People need to take accountability seriously. My husband waited 20 minutes for them to get the order ready. I was late to my event because of that.
Great place to go to for your chocolate needs. My wife gets all her chocolate chips here to make all her shaped and colored chocolates at home. My kid has been to a few birthday parties there and she's always had a great time. Everything I've had from here has been great, would recommend to anyone.
very tasty donuts, and the best chocolate I've ever eaten in my life! I recommend it to everyone!
Wonderful little shop with lots of items. The staff was friendly and helpful and everything was labeled and visible. The only reason I took off a star is there weren't a lot of varieties within an item for example the type of nut or chocolate used but they also have a very nice sugar-free section.
A quaint Shoppe for doughnut and sweets lovers. The "Yummy cream" is a highlight and the manager is very friendly! They even offer cupcake making parties. Hopefully, learn the secret to that yummy cream. Did I mention I really liked the Yummy cream? Definitely a place to go back to when the sweet cravings kick in!
Super helpful and friendly. Huge selection of chocolates and donuts. 1st time here and needed ideas for my mom's 75th. I worked with Jane and she was great! She offered suggestions, options and quickly assembled to show me how nicely the final product will look like.
This place needs NO review. Suffice it to say, practically every imaginable (and unimaginable) decadent sweet-tooth desire can be gratuitously satisfied here. Whether it's chocolate, toffee, donuts, candy or ice cream and more, THIS place has it perfected! My favorites include the varieties of toffee, puppets (a.k.a. - Turtles) and the absolutely unforgettable Maple Frosted Longjohns / donuts.......be forewarned, once tasted, you will NEVER lose the crave! ??????
The chocolate cake doughnuts are the bomb.
Been here more then a few times and have known Ronda for a few years. They have great choices and everything is very good. The staff is great very nice and friendly each day. If you are looking for a great gift stop in and you will find what you are looking for.
I got my wife chocolate covered strawberries(which are her favorite). She said they are the best CCS she?s ever had. The chocolate is rich and creamy and the strawberries are very fresh. Will definitely be using them in the future.
Their donuts are the best I?ve had. I went two days in a row and I?m thinking of going today too lol. It?s 30 minutes from my house, but that?s not what is stopping me. It?s the calories. Anyway these donuts are amazing. I think dunkin doesn?t even compare and I think they are better than Krispy Kreme too. The cake donuts have a lighter consistency than typical cake donuts. Amazing.
Morkes is my go-to candy shop. They make delicious, homemade chocolate and dipped strawberries, and you can buy cute gift boxes of holiday candies. You can also mix and match chocolate boxes, and they can wrap it for you or add a ribbon. Morkes also sells caramel apples, although they are quite large, so it's best to share them. They sell a variety of cake and yeast-raised donuts. The French twist donuts are my favorite! Morkes has a few tables inside if you want to sit and relax and enjoy a cup of coffe
Morkes Chocolates is the best chocolate shop I have encountered. The chocolates are absolutely delicious! They offer many novelty items which make great gifts for Valentines Day, Mother's Day, Sweetest Day, Secretary's Day, Halloween gift chocolates, and nearly all the major holidays. They have novelty chocolates to host themed parties such as a Grammy party, baby shower and bridal shower etc. Morkes Chocolates also offers candy making activities. This a a great place for a childs party! There is a wonderf
I thought the prices were somewhat high, but the service was fast and attentive. Chocolate was smooth and freshly made, and the donuts were very fresh even for the afternoon. Two locations. Palatine and huntley.
Amazingly fresh donuts, even in the afternoon. Small space with tables to eat.
Morkes Chocolates has helped myself and my mom with numerous candy orders! They are always top notch and the owner, Rhonda, always gives back to the community! I highly recommend this chocolate shop! They also have a location in Long Grove!
If you want to support local businesses you couldn't pick a better one than Morkes. A chocolatier for better than seven decades, Morkes offers a superior product and friendly service. Try the freshly made daily special donuts and obviously the chocolate. Any chocolate.
Wonderful creamy chocolate! Their coconut hay drops are to die for as is ther English toffee and donuts! Good people they let me take a photo of my rat terrier outside their shop. Her name is Mindy!
Morkes Chocolates customer service is out of this world! They will hand deliver gifts for anyone who lives in their service area. Amazing! I've never heard of a chocolatier doing that before. Move over flowers, hello chocolate.
This is an awesome chocolate boutique. Store is not the right word everything is so unique and handcrafted. If you don't see it, chances are they can make it. They make cake donuts, assorted chocolates and gourmet Carmel apples. You name it they will put it on an apple. Rhonda and her group are fabulous!!
Will never buy from this place again recieved a box of candy as a gift from my husband. Bit into what was supposed to be A sugar free orange cr?me and broke a tooth the candy was hard as a rock . Called to the store they sent me to the manager janes voicemail and have not received a call back
Some of the best donuts and chocolate I've ever had. When they have the day-old Donuts on sale they are still as fresh is the day before. There are great bye and still tastes great.
Every time I seem to come they treat us as if we aren?t able to pay for what we order making snarky statements such as ?it?s pricey , are you sure you still want it?? ?it?s a pricey apple? or hesitate to serve us. I don?t appreciate this poor customer service.
I haven't been at morkes but its right near where I take my dog and it is always crowded. I will definitely get in there sometime.
Awesome donuts, great dark chocolate w/ mixed with different things. Mmmmm yummy. Yes its a little more money but awesome quality. Lots of different things made with chocolate, especially the Orange peels w dark chocolate, yum.
They should be called Morkes Chocolates & Donuts. First, the store is filled with every kind of chocolate creation under the sun from pretzels covered in white, dark or milk chocolate to pecan puppets which are like Pixies on steroids. Their caramel apples are worth a try too. They also have chocolate making parties which are a blast for kids' birthday parties and for adults that want to become more involved in candy making. Then, if that isn't enough for you, there are the donuts. They have both cake and y
I'm a bus driver for a field trip, they offer me free coffee and doughnut, so then I feel hooked with the flavor of this lemon chocolate doughnut. I tell them "I'd shop but it might melt in my bus." They gave me four frozen doughnuts to act as an ice pack. Nothing here was less than amazing, including customer service. And with as much as I walked out with versus the price I paid ... Purely awesome.
P?czki order ready early and delicious. Special flavors - key lime was fantastic!
Morkes in Palatine is so convenient for me. I used to only know of the Long Grove Confectionery. I'm so glad I discovered Morkes on Rand Road. I love the cider spice donuts! And they chop their own peanuts to make their own peanut butter for the candies, etc. (just learned that today) Such a cool place and very cute Halloween candies, btw.
Absolutely love this place! Best chocolate I ever had and I especially love their cake donuts! I've been going here for over 20yrs.
Had the glazed cookie and cream donut today. Wow, amazing! Can?t recommend it enough!!
