What an awesome, full featured confectionery shop. The prices aren't cheap but you can tell with every bite that you're getting delicious, high quality treats. The decor in here is super cute, with all the different products being displayed in an organized and attractive manner. This alone makes this a more fun shopping experience than buying candy from a standard grocery store. At times, it may be difficult to determine the price of different items, but the staff is very helpful with helping shoppers navigate their way around the store. There is definitely something for everyone here, but this is especially good if you are a chocolate lover as there's a very wide assortment of available options here. This is particularly true if you're into truffles, with some interesting options such as jalapeno margarita, tiramisu, rum, and others in addition to the usual selection of fruit, coffee, caramel, etc. flavors. This is also a great spot to get interesting looking gifts. Outside of the usual gift boxes and tins, you'll find chocolate in fun shapes (like birthday cake), seasonal confection options with cute decorations, pretzels, nuts, chocolate pops, gummies, and more. Overall, this is a great place to shop for delicious sweets and competitive in price to other premium candy shops. If you're looking for something unique in both design and flavor, definitely come here versus going to a chain store. read more

My husband and I came to Long Grove Confectionery after trying their chocolates from Jewel. We wanted to try it from the source. There is a wide variety of chocolate, donuts, and other confections to choose from. A true chocolate lovers paradise. We got the chocolate dipped cookie sandwiches and peanut butter meltaways. They are phenomenal. The cashier was friendly and pleasant to talk to. Plus it feels good to support a small local business. I highly recommend Long Grove Confectionery! read more

Great place to stop for your candy enjoyment. Chocolate and some old time candy, great service!

My husband and I are always looking for something new to do and try and we came across Long Grove Confectionery . We bought several items and we loved them all! Fresh apple cider donuts and strawberry donuts were delicious. read more

No longer in the same building as when I last visited, but this candy shop is still full of sweet treats including cranberry "Myrtles" (like Turtles), chocolate covered strawberries, and apple goodies for Apple Fest. For a decadent treat in Long Grove, stop in the red schoolhouse for something sweet! read more

I have been going here for many years but it had been awhile and I didn't know they had moved. I thought they were gone for a minute when I saw a different Buisness in the old building. Luckily I checked Yelp to see if they moved and they did. The confections here are great. I have long been a fan of their chocolate and love their chocolate covered strawberries. I do like the old location better though. It had a lot of character. Great little town, if you have never visited, it is worth the trip. read more

Great spot! The packaging is adorable, the chocolates and sweets are great, and the staff s friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the mocha caramel chocolates and peanut butter pretzels! read more

I used to pass their store downtown many years but I always wanted to go the "real store" in Long Grove. Many years later, I was working in the area and decided to veer off the beaten path and finally go. I went to the store and bought a few pieces of caramel candy because I was also going to the bakery as well. I went to the bakery and ordered some of their absolutely delicious apple cider donuts. A few days later, I decided to try the caramels, they were rich and absolutely mouthwatering. I was so sad that I hadn't bought more. It's hard to go back to buying bagged candy with caramel and having theirs. It was most certainly worth the wait, that trip and a few more as well. read more

A gem in Long Groves quaint downtown. This place provides a consistently good product that has brought my family to make an annual trip every fall to stock up on Channuka gelt and assorted candy gifts for friends. In the last couple years they moved locations about a block from the one I first knew. But the move seems to have let them expand their offerings and add a coffee shop. The coffee was OK but the pull is definitely the candy. They sell Channuka gelt by the 1/2 Lb and it's so much tastier than the plastic tasting stuff that's so common this time of year. We use the opportunity to buy chocolate gifts for teachers and friends. It's definitely a hike unless you live near it, but it's become our tradition. :) read more

If you like buying chocolates in a quaint, historic setting, this is the place for you. The storefront is a 40 year old replica of the old Long Grove school house, which was originally located on this spot in this now quaint, historic, and now somewhat rustic/touristy shopping enclave. We came here to the retail location after seeing a tour of their chocolate assembly line production facility 10 minutes away. We bought a couple of chocolate covered strawberries for $3.37 as a mini-treat, and I can't really speak to relative pricing/value since we normally never buy stuff like this. read more

Long grove confectionery is not only cute, but they make great products as well. I most recently had their apple cider donut at Long Grove's Apple Fest and it was not only the perfect size to share for a dessert, but it was really good and fresh too. Honestly, it was pretty light for a donut too which was nice. I highly recommend Long Grove Confectionery. You can tell they care! read more

6/2021 Nice to see the ladies making chocolate covered strawberries. Enjoyed the chocolate we bought. Was not something special though. Staff was friendly and helpful read more

This is the best store as far as Long Grove confectionerys are concerned... going to one in the mall is not like walking into the store in Long Grove! The smell of the chocolate gets you the minute you open the door! YUM! As for the selection, it's great. The strawberries, cherries, filled chocolates, etc... you can just smell it all most of it is delicious! They've even got a pretty decent selection of sugar free chocolates. The only thing I'd complain about is that the don't have much in the little kid affordability line in their store. When we stopped in to get some chocolate for us, my husband and I were surprised to find that though we could get a little package of gummy worms for them, there were about 4 in the package and it was $2.00... that it a ridiculous amount. My guess, they do chocolates not gummies, but it was disappointing to find that if kids are with their parents the paren't have to fork over quite a bit to get a non-chocolate treat for their kids. Otherwise, I love Long Grove Confectionery, the chocolate is tasty and fresh and always a treat! read more

This store brings back many happy childhood memories. Even as an adult, I am still in awe watching the vats of chocolate turn, homemade fudge being poured and manipulated, and just breathing the air of yummy chocolate. There is really something unique and special about this store. It feels as if time has stopped and you are taken to place in time that is only yours. I love that they sell old fashioned candy in glass jars, marshmallow ice cream cones, button candy, peppermint sticks, and all the things that make you wish that pillows were really made out of cotton candy and that Willy Wonka really exists! Their hand dipped strawberries are divine! It is also a great place to get gifts such as stuffed toys, etc. It's a tight squeeze in here...you kinda feel like you are herded like cattle in there. read more

What a cute little candy store! This whole frickin town just screams "POSTCARD!!!" I received an email from Amazon Local giving $10 off any deal. And guess what, LGCC was offering a $10 deal for $20 worth of goodies. Wait, did I just get $20 free? Sure did! I don't know if they did that as a promotion or what, but Ashley and I took advantage of Amazon's stupidity and enjoyed our coconut chocolate buckets, gummy bears, peanut butter Easter eggs, and dark chocolate bars. It was all VERRRRYYYY good. They have other foods that aren't candy as well. The trail mix looked awesome, as did the mixed nuts. One tip of advice, wear a noseplug, or bring a set amount of money you want to spend. Once the sweet aroma of Long Grove Confectionary Company hits your nose, you will want to buy the whole store! read more

This place definitely has a lot of variety and delicious chocolates. I really enjoyed their chocolate covered espresso beans. Their version of dark chocolate is delicious. However one of my favorite things to get here is the dark chocolate covered Apple cider doughnut. Disappointed to say that when I came today they didn't have it. When I asked the young lady at the counter why she said that the baker just hasn't had time to make it because they were focusing on making caramel apples. For people who don't always have the time to come every weekend it was something I was Looking forward to getting again. I ended up buying a few things and got a half dozen apple cider doughnuts to go. I have to say that they were a bit greasy and not really crispy in anyway. I have tasted a lot of apple cider donuts in my time. It tasted OK but definitely not the best apple cider doughnut I have ever had. However if it was dipped in dark chocolate I would've liked it a lot more. I would give this place a try again next time I am in town. The plus side is the coffee shop right next-door to them that is also owned by them has delicious drinks. I tried the Apple cider latte and that was very good! Didn't taste too artificial and it was very tasty. read more

The cookie that gives sex a run for money. Auntie Patti's Myrtle Cookie is amazing. Three cookies made into one. Grab one and tell them you heard about it by word of mouth. Bonus: Auntie Patti' the the nicest lady you'll meet. Ask to have drinks with the fam. Ask for a Woot Woot read more

The shop is beautiful, the selection is incredible and everything is really overpriced. If you're out shopping and want a sweet treat this is good place to stop for a peanut butter cup or chocolate turtle. The small ones were $2 and the big ones were $3.60. read more

So disappointed, apple cider donuts were very greasy, apple strudel-mostly uncooked layers of dough, apple pie- the worst. Long time fan of Long Grove Confectionery and Apple Haus, no longer will be going back. Somehow lost what they once had, which was a decent product. read more

I stopped in here when attending one of Long Groves many outdoor festivals. This is another charming scenic area especially the area where this shop is. I stopped in with other visitors and they gave us a tour of the shop asnd let us taste samples which lured me in to buy their delicious but overpriced chocolate. read more

The fudge was grainy but flavorful, the pie was greasy but tasty. I like Ma and Pa's better.

We came to Long Grove Apple fest just for the apple cider donuts. We have had these donuts in the past years and were very good. This year we were very disappointed. The donuts were tasteless and extremely oily. We bought two dozen and threw out half of them. The following day after our purchase the bag was saturated in grease. Never again will we buy the apple cider donuts. read more

What a disappointment! Seems very odd, a confectionary company discontinuing a time-tested staple of Spring, the Chocolate Covered Easter Egg! Have been purchasing thm for over 20 years, but now am told they will no longer be made. Without custom items like the Egg, Long Grove becomes just another candy bar company. read more

We went there last year after hearing they reopened and were told some of the original bakers were back. Both my husband and I didn't think the apple cidar doughnuts were at all like how they used to be, which were amazing ! Too much sugar coating on them now ! We would drive from the south side for them and they were still warm and fresh. Probably wouldn't make the trip now. There just not the same at all. read more

Come on a Saturday if you want an apple cider donut. They only make them on Sat. If you can't make it to the store on a Sat., the only other time you can get the donuts is during one of the festivals (e.g. Apple Fest, Chocolate Fest, etc.). We also love the dark chocolate pecan myrtles. Sometimes I also pick up a Brown Bag Apple Pie as a hostess gift. read more

One of the best parts of Long Grove Village -- and definitely the sweetest. They carry a lot of sweets they didn't make themselves. Do yourself a favor and skip them. Stick to the treats inside the glass counter and don't miss their dark chocolate and chocolate covered strawberries. read more

After trying their Peanut Butter Melts at the New Seasons store in Portland, Oregon, I flew to Chicago with an empty suitcase and filled it up with Long Grove Chocolates. Every time I open my refrigerator, a burst of holiday cheer comes forth. At the store, you can buy chocolates in packages or hand-pick your selections from the candy counter. If you do the latter, be sure to try the truffles, toffee and chocolate-covered cherries (and of course, the Peanut Butter Melts). read more

Best toffee ever! I highly recommend the pecan-covered English toffee... The toffee itself is crisp and buttery, covered in chocolate, and rolled in chopped pecans. The store is located in a charming historic district. read more

This is a fantastic place to get really great chocolate. It is a very quaint store situated in the heart of Long Grove. There is a little viewing window in the store where you can watch people dip the strawberries in chocolate. I come here every year to get chocolates for my Christmas cookie plates and for Christmas stocking stuffers. My favorite items are the chocolate dipped strawberries and the English toffee. read more

Three words... CHOCOLATE DIPPED STRAWBERRIES! These things are AMAZING! I live about an hour away from here and will specifically make a trip for these berries. I have yet to find another place that makes them better. I have no clue how they get them to be so juicy inside. They also do chocolate truffles that are fantastic! Small and cute store. A little bit pricey but definitely worth it. On a busy day in town, the line will wrap around the store and out the door so come early! Love it! read more
