Loved this place! Ordered variety of taffy apples to surprise my daughter in New York where she go to college, that was long time ago and the taffy apples were huge and delicious! My daughter shared some to her friends. Best place to get lots of goodies here. read more

Me and my family love this place! The workers are so nice. When we told them that I had a nut allergy they made a new batch of marshmallows just for me. I would highly recommend. read more

Our daughters loved their cute chocolate and ice cream camp. That's so nice that they put these on during the summer and hope they'll have longer camps for parents nights out in the school year. Their chocolate is delicious and the kids enjoyed their unique Cookie Monster ice cream flavor. I have to say they probably have some of the best turtles I've ever had and I will have to go back to get some more soon. Their caramel apples and donuts are so good too. The kids also were able to take home the chocolate trays to microwave and use again as dipping chocolate. We most certainly will be back! read more

WELL, this place is just wonderful. Truly wonderful service and wonderful products. I had been tooling around online looking for a place that sells chocolate high heel shoes. Yes, you heard me right, I was looking for life-size high heel shoes made out of chocolate. Lemme splain: my friend is absolutely head-over-heels in love with shoes :) - no pun intended....Anyways, her birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her something super different and Morkes was a godsend in this search because of the chocolate high heels they make. So, I called up the place and talked to this SUUUPER helpful, friendly, and kind lady who made ordering these shoes super simple. First of all she had me wait on the phone while she double checked with the "shoe lady" if she would be able to satisfy my pretty last minute request. Not only that, but then she broke everything down, asking me what color glitter and what size shoe I wanted, what color bow for the shoe box I would prefer...etc. She was so on top of things and wonderful. She even called me back after I hung up because she had forgotten to ask me if I wanted the shoe to be milk, dark, or white chocolate! So nice!! The final product was beyond fantastic! Such a beautiful shoe! You couldn't even tell that it was all completely edible; it looked like a real shoe! - that's how amazing it looked. I had such fun watching my friend open the gift too - priceless reactions all around when I told everyone that it was completely made out of chocolate! Thank you Morkes for making this gift so exciting! read more

I will start this review off by saying OMG!!! I have never had a donut that tasted like the one from Morkes Chocolates. One of my coworkers at Blue Cross brought a few dozens into the office one day. That's when I found out that I would never love a donut like the way I love Morkes. No one every leaves the last donut...NEVER!!! Seriously. Just read the other reviews, you have to do youself a favor and add Morkes to your bucket list. Gina - May God bless your soul for hooking me up with the best donuts in the Chicago-land. P.S. No I'm not fat. Read the other reviews...OFF.DA.CHAIN! read more

Good apple cider doughnuts. Since long grove went belly up it's been difficult finding a decent Apple Cider doughnut. These are legit.

Everything I have tried from this place has been amazing. Chocolate pretzels, peanut butter cups, toffee. I will keep coming back!

I always drove past this place & never knew what a chocolate lover's dream it held inside. I needed a unique gift for a leopard-print loving friend's milestone birthday. I checked out their website & found what I needed: CHOCOLATE LEOPARD PRINT SHOES. First, I called & spoke with a very helpful employee who answered all my questions. She suggested I come in & check out some ready-made chocolate shoe gifts. When I walked in to the shop, my jaw dropped open. This truly is a hidden gem. Chocolate everywhere! They had cute red glitter pump chocolate shoes! I was able to place a custom-order for a leopard print chocolate shoe. When I picked it up, it did not disappoint. If you need a chocolate fix or a unique chocolate-themed gift, this is the place. They even sell donuts in the morning! read more

We are seniors and do not spend a lot..but no matter what..they are so nice to us....Thanks Morkes..xoxo read more

Stumbled upon this place not knowing it had been 15 min from me all along! Kind of a hole in the wall place- easy to miss if you're not looking for it. But so adorable!! They have the yummiest and cutest chocolate creations, fudge, candies, and seasonal themed goodies. Love! read more

For our family we think Morkes has the best donuts around! We love the selection and freshness each and every time. We've even ordered the birthday day donut cake from them. It was a big hit! read more

A hidden gem! We found this place just while driving through town shortly after moving to the area and our children wanted to stop in for chocolate when we noticed they have donuts! Locally owned and operated. They have a different flavor every month along with their traditional flavors. June was lemon and July is Blueberry. Their donuts are super moist and not overly sweet. They literally melt in your mouth. The maple is my favorite but all the blueberry flavors are equally amazing. It was hard to choose. If you love a good donut, you're going to want to put this place on your list of places to try! read more

I have passed this place almost every day for months and finally stopped today. The old fashioned donuts were amazing! A slight crunch on the outside and just super light and fluffy on the inside. My new favorite. read more

My son was turning 7 this weekend and wanted a donut cake so I yelped several places that made donuts. Morkes Chocolates popped up and had great reviews and Jane was extremely sweet and went above and beyond with helping us out. My son is probably the only kid that doesn't like chocolate or cake but enjoys donuts. My son wanted Pikachu and Pokéball decorated donuts and Jane came through with the WIN! They don't typically decorate donuts but she worked with us and made my son one happy kid! It was simple but creative. Not only did the donuts look good they tasted AMAZING! Thank you Morkes for having great customer service and good tasting sweets. read more

I swear by this place and go out of my way to come here. I am such a fan. I have only tried the donuts and they are amazing to say the least. Trying donuts is my specialty. Not sure what they do but they taste different from any other place I've been to. This is the place that I judge other donut places and no one has come close. read more

Morkes was selling fresh doughnuts at the Long Grove Strawberry Festival and they were very good! They were fried right there, soft with just enough of a crumbly dough texture, and had a nice apple flavor. They had one of the longer lines and I see why! read more

Stopped by for a sweet treat. The ladies in the front greeted me and were nice. The manager was awkward and made me feel uncomfortable. Not once did she say "hi" she just move around the store not really doing anything but glancing at me. I finally made a selection and was check out without any issues. My $9- candy apple wasn't anything to write home about I wasn't impressed at all. The pecan were finely chopped...pecan halves would be better to cut the sweetness of the candy apple. The chocolate was way to heavy. I took off a lot chocolate to balance the sweetness of the apple. I definitely prefer Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. read more

The donuts are absolutely delicious! My kids truly enjoy them and look forward to the flavor of the week.

I've never actually been to Morkes, and that's a situation I should rectify. I've only experienced the nirvana that is their heavenly cake doughnuts. These aren't like Krispy Kremes - you could do some damage with a slingshot and a Morkes doughnut. Their doughnuts are substantial little things, and yet they melt in your mouth. My teeth ache with the pain that can only come from sugar overload just thinking about them. Mmmmm....doughnuts... read more

The donuts are amazing!!! The chocolate covered donuts are my favorite. They are made of high quality ingredients, not too sugary sweet, but nicely done. I'm pretty picky with desserts. They have to be really good to break the calorie bank. Unfortunately, I end up eating two... it's really that good! read more

Wow! The fragrant smell on the way in is worth the trip. If it is chocolate they have it. Delicious! They even have donuts. read more

A quick little donut review... Really good!! So I know we've had a donut craze the past few years in Chicagoland. There are many places downtown etc that go over the top & give you very creative options to eat. People in the area also like Spunky Dunkers because it's better than Dunkin... Morkes does one thing and one thing only, a great cake donut! This is coming from a guy who doesn't really like cake donuts?! What...! Until now that is... Blueberry is the flavor of this month and mom loves blueberry BUT she never has liked a donut, basically too sweet or tastes like cheap oil (SpunkyD, Dunkin, etc). I pick up a 4 sampler from Morkes, BB plain, BB iced, and a couple others. I go home, put the plain BB on the table, and walk away... I come back an hour later and it's gone! Mom says "I ate the whole thing"! This is from someone who takes 1 bite of other said donuts and won't eat the rest. So why is this cake donut any different? The batter, it fries up to be a moist cake donut almost like a muffin texture. Really good! Clean oil, as in I can't taste it, like it should be. The sugar, I had 3 other iced or glazed donuts, excellent. All I can say is there is not a cheap sickly sweetness to these. It's like when you use a natural cane vs white refined to sweeten your tea, lol. The bottom line, just a better quality cake donut period! read more

Morkes' cake donuts, with their own chocolate on top, are my favorite donuts in the world. If you are at all a fan of a cake donut you do need to do yourself the favor of trying them. I don't believe they make them everyday now, something you will want to check if you are going to make a trip there specifically for the donuts. They also have coffee, lattes etc. to go with your donut. read more

This is the most awesome Chocolate!! the donuts are super delicious!! Rhonda and her Team do an awesome job and great Customer Services!!!!! If you have an event, business meeting or just want to have the best Chocolate, well don't hesitate to get their Chocolate. I Highly Recommended them. I will give then A+ Love Love It!!! Every time I get a chance I go there to get some delicious Chocolate. The place is super nice and clean... I highly recommended this place... Oh Also they have Coffee and Chocolate... PS: and they do have a PokéStop Nearby http://morkeschocolates.com Thank you Nidya read more

Now that I no longer live in the area, I find myself stopping in, yet I never went there when I was just a couple of miles away - what's that about!?!?! Anyway, the donuts are every bit as good as people say they are. The flavor of the month is consistently good. High quality and very fresh. While the offering in front appears small, there are often doughnuts in back too - so don't be shy about asking for more than what appears to be available. I don't buy upscale chocolates too often, but will give theirs a try next time I need to do so. read more

I like chocolate but I don't craaaave chocolate. So for me, Morkes has as good of a chocolate as I've found anywhere. What really impresses me about Morkes though, is the variety of products they sell. They have donuts with a small eating area if you want to pop in for coffee and a donut. They have lots of varieties of chocolates that you'd typically find in boxes of chocolate. But they also have sinful stuff that you'd find only in specialty stores like chocolate covered peanut butter cups, chocolate covered double-stuffed Oreos, and double dipped malted milk balls. They have white, dark, milk and sugar free chocolate, and chocolate products with sea salt. They sell pieces of chocolate that you can melt down if you want to make your own creations. (It looks like they might even have these kinds of classes right there.) And if you want them to mold chocolate into a specific shape, they also offer custom chocolates. So if you have a sweet tooth, it's worth a visit because you will certainly find SOMETHING to satisfy it at this place! (By the way, I don't know how prices typically run for this stuff but 2 lbs of assorted chocolates was $50 and a box of 25 truffles was $40.) read more

I have always been a Morkes fan, but even more so in the past few years. Where to begin? Their chocolate offerings are vast, and everything I try is delicious. I'm basically eating myself through the store. This past Christmas I was gifted an assorted box, and loved every piece! Morkes breakfast toffee will change your life. Another chocolate you can't live without is their puppet (cashews or pecans, caramel and chocolate). OMG. I live for their caramel apples. They have a huge variety, and their caramel apple w nuts or pecans are incredible. I can't walk out without two in my bag. They make donuts fresh every day. I have preordered large qtys and even bought day-old. So delicious! My favorites are the glazed crullers, the apple cider donuts, and I love their special donut flavors of the week. I can't end without saying the staff is always super patient and helpful. I have ordered for delivery multiple times in the past year, and they are so accommodating. read more

I spent quite a bit of time at Morkes Chocolates because they make it impossible to make up you mind. Their display cabinets are packed full of some of the most delicious candies you may ever see. Nearly everything they offer has white, dark and milk chocolate variants. They offer a lot of sugar free candies too.... but come on..... sugar free? The candy at this place is so good, its worth the near deadly blood-sugar levels. Morkes' is not inexpensive but you definitely get what you pay for at this place. I recommend the silk, the cherry cordials, caramels and the toffee is a must to try. They have long strips of English toffee covered in different kinds of nuts. They are great. And most of all, one should buy an candied apple. They're big and delicious. So big, in fact, that I would imagine one could beat a man unconscious with one. read more

I am a firm supporter of good, old-fashioned customer service. Morkes Chocolates has just that to offer. I went to their Palatine shop to see if I could get any fun ideas for wedding favors. The woman who assisted me was SO helpful. She took the time to show me all of the great options. She even inspired a little creativity in me by asking questions about my husband and I and our interests so we could pick a chocolate mold that was all about us. (meanwhile, throughout this consultation, I'm drooling over their donuts and chocolates in the display windows!) I placed my order with them, and we picked everything up the week of the wedding. I LOVED the favors. They were so cute and creative. I liked the fact that I could order them in white, dark or milk chocolate because everyone's tastes are different. I was excited to see how my guests liked them. At my wedding, I had friends and family telling me they already ate theirs before the dinner even started! Haha! They loved them! Total WIN! read more

This place is overrated. Way overpriced for prettt much everything. Had the cider donuts which tasted oily and over fried. The lady behind the counter was not the friendliest person to deal with either. Don't waste your money. Go up the road 500feet to long grove confectionary read more

We are thrilled to have found Morkes and visiting the shop has become a weekly family tradition. While Dunkin' is right around the corner, it is so worth the extra drive to come here. The donuts are just fantastic (always fresh!) and the customer service is wonderful. We love to support small family owned businesses and highly recommend! read more

My favorite place to get holiday chocolates. In addition, in the fall, their apple cider donuts are out of this world. Just the smells will satisfy most chocolateholics but it is much better to eat it. Great place to have a children's birthday party. They teach the kids how to make candy. Also, they have adult classes on candy making In addition, you see them at most of Palatine's Fest's helping the groups make money for charity. In conclusion, this is a family friendly store with knowledgable sales staff selling high quality chocolate. I am there usually there once a moth to get my addiction for their dark chocolate malted milk balls satisfied. read more

Fantastic quality, friendly staff, fun variety. Never gave a gift from Morke's that wasn't appreciated. Sadly, prices are a little too high for regular indulgence. Oh! If you pass this place in the morning, stop for donuts. They're fabulous. read more

Went here for a party and thank goodness my daughter and were tardy for the party because the host was not the friendliest. She looked stress as if she didn't want to be there! Not a kid friendly place at all! read more

Oh my goodness I love Morkes! This store has the most fantastic variety of chocolates and donuts and lots more that I can't even mention right now. It is all so delicious. Someone gave me a 2 pound box of this candy and it was the best gift a person would ever ever ever want. The personnel working there were absolutely wonderful and polite. I took my time and was given such courtesy because I'm old and I was very particular in my selection. I love this place and I wish everybody knew about it. You couldn't ask for a better chocolate than what is offered there. read more

Seriously, the best doughnuts I've ever had. I love the charm of this place and that's it's a hidden treasure.

I was given a box of chocolates as a Christmas gift, & just chipped my tooth on a pecan muffit or (turtle) . It had several pieces of pecan shells (1 large) inside & that did it for me, nice. So I'll go to Fanny May. read more

Seriously the best cider donut I've ever had! They were still warm and fresh. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. We also tried the sugar-free malted milk balls, which were great. No weird aftertaste that you sometimes get with sugar-free candy. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more
