I walked into this chocolate factory expecting a tour and walked out questioning whether I had been transported to heaven itself. The air smelled so rich and chocolatey I considered bottling it and selling it as "emotional support oxygen." The staff were absolutely truffle-y amazing, clearly working hard to keep everything running smoother than a melted ganache on a hot day in July. read more

Mrs Cavanaugh's Candies - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - North Salt Lake, Utah

Interesting experience. An extremely old woman dips her bare hand into chocolate to "mark" the chocolates so they can know what flavor it is. Then we had to listen to Mrs Cavanaugh go on and on and on and on about the Mormon church. Perfectly fine to be a member of that church, but turning a tour for my 8 yr old's class into some missionary opportunity is inappropriate. Would have bought something after the tour if it weren't for these two things. read more

Delicious creamy chocolate and excellent customer service! They had a huge variety of chocolates and candy. Everything I got was delicious.

Upon landing in Utah (literally, I came directly from the airport), I visited Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolate Factory. It's super fun and educational, and only $5! As part of the tour, you also receive a $4 voucher to buy anything after the tour. So it only ends up really costing $1! The tour lasts between 30 minutes - 1 hour and includes chocolate and ice cream samplings. We started with an educational video detailing bean to bar, and then looked into the factory, watching the chocolate making process. My favorite part of the tour was watching the hand-dipping process, which is a traditional method. I sampled a raspberry creme truffle, raw chocolate, milk chocolate, and the Mandy mint ice cream. After the tour, I purchased a Turtle Easter egg (3 oz, $6.99) for my grandfather and was even able to get it personalized on the spot for free. I also purchased some peanut clusters with funky faces (price by weight, cost roughly $0.90 each) There's a cool kids world section where lots of small bags of candies are only $1 each. Their prices are very reasonable for both chocolates and ice cream scoops. I called ahead one day in advance to RSVP for a tour. Since it was just me, I was able to get scheduled in easily. But if you are scheduling a larger group, I'd recommend calling in earlier than that. There is a ton of free parking available. If you need to wait around too, there is a table, chairs, and even 2 sofas to wait on. All the staff are so kind and informative. Lovely first stop in Utah! read more

Enjoyed a tour of their factory! The staff was amazing and very helpful. We definitely will have to stop in again.

Took my kids and the neighbor kids on a tour that they offer here at the chocolate factory. You have to call to schedule it. It is five dollars per person but then you get four dollars of product in their shop which includes tons of candy, chocolate and ice cream! The place seemed very clean. The tour was probably 35 to 40 minutes and interesting. She also let us sample the ice cream and some chocolate. read more

Funny story: Years ago, when I used to live out East, my mom and sisters picked me up from the airport, and as soon as she saw me, my littlest sister excitedly announced, "WE ARE GOING TO A TACO FACTORY!" ...Odd, but I do like Mexican food, so okay! "A taco factory, huh?" To which my mom interjected, "No, a chocolate factory." Ah, this made much more sense. And, I mean, I love to eat so would have been on board with either, but chocolate is much more my speed! Now, this was years ago, and beyond the memory of learning of our intended visit, I do not recall the experience at all. My tastes have changed much over that time, I can be a snob when it comes to food, and if I am honest, I fully expected to be disappointed by Mrs. Cavanaugh's. I already have several favorite candy sources in SLC, and there are many from which to choose. I figured if Mrs. Cavanugh's was so great, I would have been inclined to visit before now. Instead, I felt like, when deciding to make a stop here, I was scratching the bottom of the barrel in my quest to patronize all area chocolate shops. I arrived mid-day on a Saturday to find it completely empty and dimly lit (so much so that, once greeted by the girl up front, I inquired if they were truly open). This only seemed to confirm my suspicions. The front retail space is almost cavernously large, at least it felt that way with no fellow customers. They have a variety of prepackaged chocolates and candy, caramel apples, etc, even some baking supplies like chocolate chips. There is a "kids section" with small bags of treats for $1.00, and you know parents appreciate the ability to say, "Pick out one thing you want from over there!" They even have frozen custard! I headed straight for the chocolate case, and was happy to see most varieties are available in either milk or dark. I got everything in dark because duh, and selected the following: First off, had to have my fav, Seafoam/Honeycomb/Whatever-you-call-it, but theirs was not nearly as light as it should be, closer to toffee than anything else. It reminded me of See's molasses chips, not what I am looking for with Seafoam. Womp womp. Midnight Mindy Mint-A lovely dark chocolate minty truffle. This was very smoothy smooth and melty. Peanut Butter Truffle-Like a peanut butter cup in square form, so not what I would call a truffle, but the filling was smooth, salty, and not too sugary. Apricot Crème-Though quite sweet, fairly well balanced with actual pieces of tangy apricot. Opera-Basically a neopolitan fondant filling and just okay, Very sugary, strawberry tasted artificial, and chocolate coating is too thick. Brittany-Chewy marshmallow caramel. Must be in dark or it would be too sweet, but this was so delicious it made me angry when it was gone! They offer factory tours, though not on Saturdays, but I am sure it would be fun to check out. I paid $8 for my selections, so prices are reasonable and in line with other area old fashioned style chocolatiers. There is plenty of parking, and the location is off 2-15 near the airport, so if you happen to be in the area, or are perhaps picking up some guests from out of town, follow suit and make a stop on your way home. No one is going to complain about a trip to a chocolate factory, after all! read more

Cool tour and chocolate factory, the tour is $5/person and lasts about 40 minutes, and you get a $4 voucher to spend on their products afterwards. You get to watch a movie about the history of chocolate and the production of chocolate, it's very informative. It's a good tour and factory, only reason I'm giving 4 and not 5 is I'm thrown off by them not wearing gloves while making the chocolate, plus I saw one gal touch her nose and then go back to making the chocolate without changing her 1 gloved hand. Overall, very cool tour and place, definitely go take it to learn more and get behind the scenes :) read more

The Tour was fun, educational and enjoyable. The chocolates and Ice Cream were tasty. I'd say Mrs Cavanaugh's chocolates are gourmet and high end. It's not like the Whitman or stuff you find at Walgreens, Wal-Mart, CVS, Rite Aid, ec. - - It's on par with See's, Dove, Godiva, etc. as silky creamy fresh chocolates. Parking is easy read more

I ordered 1 box of chocolates was charged for 2. When I called the 1st person I dpoke too took down my info and transferred me to Steve. Just said hi I'm steve didn't tell me what department he works for or anything. Was extremely unprofessional and rude. I told him my issue he just said oh that happens all the time and that I'd have to call my card holder company to fix the issue. Clearly if it happens all the time to their orders its an issue on their end and they refuse to even took into it and make you fix their mistake, as I order stuff online often and never ever get charged twice. Take extreme caution if you are considering ordering anything from mrs. Cavanaugh's, shady business practices, worst customer service I've ever had. read more

Always cheerful and very helpful. Been a family tradition for years Thanks for your assistance. read more

Had a great time today at Mrs Cavanaugh's!! My daughter and I went to the factory for a tour. Free chocolate and ice cream samples?! Oh yeah! Cost was $5 pp with a $4 coupon to use in the store after. The tour started in the store and progressed upstairs where we watched a short 11 min video on how chocolate started and is made. Since it was Christmas time when we went Mrs Claus led our tour and she was amazing! Lively, funny and engaging! After the movie she handed us 2 pieces of chocolate. One that was unsweetened and the other that was milk. Just so we could taste the difference. After telling us about the real Mrs Cavanaugh and the amazing story of how she started the company Mrs Claus gave us another piece of chocolate. My daughter got raspberry and I got caramel. (We split them with each other so we got to try both) Then we looked out windows down on the production line. Using a laser pointer she told us about each area of the factory and what was happening. We were told about the different designs on the tops of each chocolate and what they mean and about how they get the chocolate on the bottom of the piece of chocolate. After we finished the tour upstairs we were led downstairs to try the ice cream!! My daughter had raspberry cheesecake and I tried penoche. Delicious!! We had to use our $4 coupons so we got a 1lb box that we created ourselves. We also got an almond mound ($23.81 with $8 off) The employee that helped us was super helpful telling us what flavors were good (uh, ALL OF THEM!) and letting us know what was inside. In all we were there about 1 hour. 45 mins for the tour and 15 mins looking around the store and picking out chocolates. The building was easy to find right off I-215. The chocolates we had during the tour and the ones we ate on the way home were all delicious!! I would say the best chocolate I've had in a while!! Visit this location for some delicious chocolate and a visit with Mrs Claus if you hurry!! read more

The candy is good. But the ceaseless about of scam emails that come afterwards, ism't. As much as I like the chocolates, they've succeeded in chasing me away for good. read more

We had a family reunion with lots of kids and heard of the tour of the Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolate Factory in North Salt Lake. We booked a tour, and had an absolutely wonderful time! Our tour guide, Brecken, was energetic and friendly and was able to keep 18 children (all under age 12!) under control and engaged. The tour was informative and fascinating--and full of yummy samples. The tour costs $5 a person, but then you are given a $4 per person voucher to buy anything from the store, including their delicious ice cream. A total win for everyone! I HIGHLY recommend this place!!! read more

I have been using Mrs Cavanaugh's for quite some time to send a box of candy to my Dad every month. This month the shipment was lost and after contacting customer service they took care of this right away. Thanks again read more

I just received a delicious Mrs. Cavanaughs candies. They were delivered to me at my home in Florida totally intact. No melting at all and they were received on a 100 degree day! Fresh and delicious! Even in August Mrs. Cavanaugh delivered to Florida with no issues. Thank you so much! read more

My family and I just did this tour. At $1 a person, it was awesome. We went on a Monday afternoon at 3:00, and there was only a total of eight of us on the tour. Our tour guide was Angie, and she was so nice and friendly. She answered all of our questions, which were many, and encouraged us to ask more. We got to see a worker making hand-covered nuts, watch a video on the origin of chocolate (during which my chocolate-loving mother purred like a cat!), and we sampled several chocolate pieces and their amazing ice cream flavors. They allow pictures during the factory tour, and they even have a couple of locations specifically for pictures. When we finished with the tour, we were the only ones in the store. We were able to try other pieces of their chocolate and candies, as well as their ice cream. I got a single scoop in a waffle cone, and this was some of the best ice cream I've ever had. My sister and her kids got a triple scoop- I can't believe how much ice cream they were given!! Holy cow! If you can't eat a lot of ice cream at one time, please get a child's scoop or a single scoop. This is a family owned and run company, and they are so kind and welcoming. Another reviewer mentioned political views, but there was nothing political mentioned in the tour. It was simply chocolately goodness. I highly recommend this tour!! So awesome!! read more

Update your website! We came from Texas and drove all the way here on our way to airport and your NEW SUMMER HOURS- said closed on Saturday but your website said open. Very disappointed! read more

The tour was wonderful and a great value for only $1. The tour leader was very patient with our group of active kids. I personally appreciated the wall of $1 candies so your kid can still leave with a treat without breaking the bank. read more

First time coming here. I've had there box of dark and milk chocolates one Christmas and was hooked. I went a little crazy and got all kinds of goodies. Got a free sample before I left. They give you a pretty good military discount. read more

This chocolate factory really came thru for our Easter 2020. When our favorite candy store closed, See's Candies, here in California, I wondered what to do. Well, Mrs. Cavanaugh's to the rescue!!! Delicious fair priced chocolates wrapped well in a strong box with an ice pack! Thank you, we will remember your service and great products and will recommend highly. read more

I was so excited to see mrs, cavanaugh's factory tour as my family has loved their chocolates for years. They are a staple of Christmas and Easter. However, the strangely out of place political message of the tour was off putting and frankly will discourage my further purchases here. I took my kids to learn about chocolate making, not their political views. read more

This is a great place to stop for some sweets. If you want a little chocolate history, they have a great tour. The employees treat everyone with exceptional customer service. read more

You just won't find candy or ice cream that can beat Mrs. Cavanaughs. I guarantee it! And the staff and candy makers are the nicest!! I suggest trying the tasty ice cream (cheapest prices in the valley!) and Mindy Mints are my favorite!! You will find the candy delightfully delicious, the service wonderful and the employees are almost as sweet as their chocolate!! Get to the factory and experience it for yourself! read more

Have visited several times including a few school field trips. Everyone is SO nice and seriously the best chocolates I've ever had.

I live in Los Angeles, CA and I love this candy! Very creamy chocolate and the creams are delicious. Will keep ordering. Good stuff and good prices! read more

Great little tour for a $1.. And it's a short tour so the low price is appropriate. But with that investment you get 20% off some great chocolates. Totally worth it. Love the chocolates. read more

After the decorations came down and the house was back in order, I realized that nobody gave me chocolate covered cherries Christmas and I usually get two or three boxes. I actually picked up a box two or three times before the holidays, but always talked myself out of buying them reasoning that I would have plenty after I opened all my gifts. Coming up empty-handed, I went out looking but realized most stores don't carry these after the holidays. Determined not to do without, I found Mrs. Cavanaugh's online and ordered some in milk chocolate. I will admit I was put off by the price, particularly the shipping charges, so I decided they were going to have to be better than the drugstore variety to justify the price. Unfortunately, they just aren't. They are decent, but honestly I like some of the cheaper varieties better. These just simply are not good enough to justify that price and the shipping charges are outrageous. read more

I returned around Mother's Day and was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff. It really makes all the difference. The chocolates are amazing. read more
