I was looking for a cup of coffee while at the Irvine spectrum and didn't want to wait in a line for just a black coffee. I went into the Rocky Mountain chocolate factory and bought a large coffee for about $2.50 and it was perfect! Thank you! read more

Staff is friendly. However, the chocolate covered strawberries here are disgusting. I've gotten them a couple of times now and the batches are usually a miss...the strawberries themselves are the overly ripen, almost jelly-like softness type...slightly rotten taste. If you crave chocolate covered strawberries, the one in Orange (the Block at Orange Outlets) has better quality control. read more

I like coming to this store to get sweets for friends and family members. They have a variety of sweets to choose from. You can definitely tell it is Rocky Mountain because every franchise store has a huge teddy bear out in the front. Pros: (1) Large variety of truffles and chocolate clusters- they weigh as you go so depending on the number of pieces the prices can go up. (2) Large caramel apples (plain and upgraded version) - sometimes you can see them prepare caramel apples in front of customers and it is always fun for me and the kids to watch (3) Lots of fudge - sometimes you can see them prepare fudge in front of customers as well and the entire store smells sweet and buttery. (4) Cute packaging for gift sets (5) sugar and sugar free selections as well Cons: (1) inconsistent staff and customer service (2) high prices for small portions Overall, I feel like once I step into this store, just inhaling the sweet and buttery aroma, I am inhaling extra calories. Hahaha! But my taste buds do enjoy these sweet treats. Given that they are a chocolate store, I feel that they don't compare to artisan chocolate shops that are nearby. I prefer Swiss chocolates way more. read more

Located at the Irvine spectrum, I came to grab a few chocolates on a whim. They have an excellent selection of chocolate along with an ice cream / shake bar. The chocolate is good (almond cluster and pecan cluster) but a bit on the pricey side for what you get in my opinion. read more

One of my favorites places at the Spectrum to grab a snack. I love the almond apple with a fresh Granny Smith apple, their house-made caramel and lots of almond. They cut it up and I love eating it as I'm walking around the Spectrum. Casual. Outdoor seating. Good service. Please come and create your own experience. read more

There aren't many of these Rocky Mountain Chocolate stores around. We like to stop by here every we're at the Spectrum to get some chocolate. Our favorite are the truffles. A half pound is plenty for snacks for two people while you're shopping. Their truffles are smooth and rich. Service is always good. read more

Came here on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet, including the service. My kids and I walked around for a good 5min and had to flag someone down to help us out. We ended up getting a sorbet, a chocolate covered pretzel, a truffle, and their chocolate chip brownie. They were all decent, but nothing too special. My favorite was the brownie - it was rich! They have a wide variety of chocolates and other treats. Perhaps I'll stop by to try out some of their other offerings. read more

The variety in the store is amazing and everything we had was great. I had to get their Thanksgiving-themed turkey caramel chocolate apple, which was both cute and delicious. The turkey tail was a bonus big piece of chocolate. We also got the Oreo caramel apple, a classic. We even got gelato (an authentic Italian recipe made in Fountain Valley), which is sold by weight, and were impressed by it. And I finally got to try the viral Dubai chocolate that has been sold out elsewhere. It's pricey but it's a big piece, so it can be shared or stored for another day. We opted for the dark chocolate bar and they definitely do not skimp on the layer of chocolate on the outside. It definitely lived up to the hype in taste and appearance. The crunch you get when you bite into it is mind-blowing. The mix of textures and the pistachio flavor will leave a lasting impression. The cashier offered to cut our apples for us, which was the extra customer service that brought it up to 5 stars. I've never had my caramel apples cut before, but this made much easier to eat! They also gift a free chocolate-covered strawberry for spending above a certain amount, which is nice. We're so glad they were open on Thanksgiving morning so we could enjoy these delicious desserts! read more

Home of the viral Dubai chocolate, this store in the Irvine Spectrum makes arguably the best version of it. They can do completely customizable options to make beautiful corporate gift baskets, and you can get each item on its own to gift to family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc. And this is where you can also find the cutest holiday treats, like a snowman candy apple, fun pretzel sticks, and they even came out with a Dubai candy apple and Dubai chocolate bombs, which might be even better than the OG Dubai bar in my humble opinion! You know the parking sitch is craaazy at the Spectrum, so the staff can actually get you your goods at curbside pickup this holiday season. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

We came in for some chocolates at this little shop. Store itself is very organized but a bit narrow. We had to try not to bump into other people at times. Hubby is a big fan of chocolates or chocolate flavored desserts. I like chocolates but I don't eat them often. Mainly because it makes me breakout now and then. The selections are huge here, chocolate covered apples, marshmallows, all sorts of chocolates even a bunch of sugar free ones. We picked a Pokémon marshmallow and assorted chocolates. The cashier boy was very friendly and fast. This is a great place to pick up chocolate desserts! read more

Stopped by last night for a treat for my birthday and was pleasantly surprised by a pleasant and helpful woman who made our experience great.

For starters, this place brings a ton of nostalgia for me! My mom would take me here after school for a chocolate covered ice cream bar which all i can remember were amazing and i'm sure still are. The girl that helped me was super sweet and the store is the exact same as it was years ago which i love because it's warm and woody tones are inviting. I'm typically a see's candy girl but decided to give their chocolate a shot. I got some almond clusters with caramel and a chocolate truffle. The chocolate flavor isn't terrible but as a whole it was just not great. I ALWAYS finish any kind of sweets i get and I genuinely couldn't finish this. It was also 20 dollars for 4 pieces of chocolate. I always grab 6 or 7 pieces of chocolate from see's and it's like 9 dollars. It just seems a bit steep for 4 pieces of teeth breaking chocolate. That said, the chocolate covered ice cream is a must try. read more

Arthur helped me get a custom order together last minute! Was very happy with the service and attention to detail in making sure I was satisfied! Thank you! read more

This place constantly mixes up orders, and when we pointed out that they had put several wrong items in the bag, the owner refused to issue a refund. She said, "We don't refund on chocolate, and you should check what they pack for you." However, the lady who served us didn't even know the names of the items in the store and put the wrong products in the bag. I came back within two minutes, but instead of fixing the issue, the owner argued with me and refused to give a refund. Only after a long argument did finally issue a small refund. The store is also very expensive. They advertise certain items as "buy one, get one free," but then they put everything together on the scale and never actually honor the offer -- it ends up being more like "buy one and get one, but still pay for both." On top of that, the chocolate didn't taste good, and the hot tea wasn't even hot. Not recommended place. read more

Normally we come here and buy chocolate and other candies. There was some special pistachio chocolate candy that my one daughter wanted to try. First the price was ridiculous, as it was like $15 for a small piece of candy. Second it tasted like crap. I love pistachio and this did not taste like it at all. It was really bad. If not for the truffles we bought, this would be a one star review read more

Arthur was very professional and courteous. Customer service was excellent. Great location as well!

Ordered a cookies and cream Frappuccino and the employee didn't even mix/shred the ice it was completely unenjoyable. The chocolate covered Twinkie was okay at best. read more

Great employees who were so accommodating this Friday evening at 6pm. I came to try their famous Dubai Chocolate and this was my 4th place of trying out a different version. By far, Rocky Mountain has the very best Dubai Dark Chocolate single mold (small size) at $7.95 I believe? They also have a bar version which is about $17.00? I could be wrong because it was a few days ago, therefore look on their menu. It was so amazingly tasty and had the perfect amount of Knafe inside where you tasted their actual Pistachio Butter (it is not peanut butter) with Knafe; they made it right! That's why this place was on Tik Tok. My daughter and I fell in love and after, we won't try any other place for Dubai Chocolates. We love the dark chocolate but they also have milk chocolate too. Each Rocky Mountain location has a different price because they each have different sized molds. There you go! You gotta try it! It was so yumm! read more

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - 2 Dubai Pistachio Chocolates. - Candy Stores Near Me - Irvine, California

This review is about the staff and the Dubai Chocolate Bar. I went into Rocky Mountain chocolate factory on a Saturday to get their viral Dubai chocolate bar. $7.50 for a "ball of Dubai chocolate". First off I have to say they use dark chocolate, not milk and it tasted like plastic. The inside filling of the Dubai chocolate ball was blended up pistachios with no Kataifi. The service was super slow in the workers were rude. I paid with Apple Pay and the guy yelled at me and said "WAIT". After I purchased the Dubai chocolate ball went to go eat it, it was half melted... and keep in mind it was raining... wasn't even hot outside. -1 staff -1 taste / appearance (it was melted-) -1 service read more

Who doesn't love caramel apples, chocolate and fudge? I love Rocky Mountain's Old Fashioned Fudge, Milk Chocolate Covered Oreos with that perfect crunch and chocolatey goodness, and of course their Apple Pie Caramel Apple. It's my favorite caramel apple ever. Cinnamon Sugar, White Chocolate, Caramel and a Green Apple all blend perfectly together into an amazing caramel apple. Those three are my go-to's and favorite desserts. Thank you Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for the delicious treats! read more

Yummy apples but the employee not cutting the apple all the way through totally ruined the experience. We couldn't enjoy our treats there and had to bring it home to cut it through. First world problems but still extremely annoying for the lack of attention when I'm paying $12 for an apple. read more

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - Half cut apple. Hard to share. - Candy Stores Near Me - Irvine, California

I love caramel apples specially from Rocky Mountain. I always get one when I see this store. Recently I purchased some from the Lake Arrowhead Village and the Citadel Outlets locations. The one I got on Sunday from this Irvine location was disappointing. The cashier cut the apples per my request and placed it in a bag. An hour later when I removed it to eat it the caramel had fallen off the apples and looked unappealing. I never experienced this before. Paying $7.25 for one apple you would want it to be perfect. read more

I came here specifically for the viral Dubai chocolate, I saw plenty of good reviews on tik tok for their other locations, I am very disappointed in how my 2 bars of chocolates came out. It cost me $29 for two bricks of solid chocolate with a tad smear of pistachio cream. There was little to no knafeh let alone pistachio cream. See pictures for reference - no refund or store credit was offered when I called expressing this concern and disappointment. read more

Please extend my sincere thank you for sugar free candy. Everywhere I go I search for places to get my diabetic mom a sweet treat. I don't eat sweets in front of her, unless I have something tasty for her. It sux being diabetic. At Irvine spectrum there's a few options normally for SF treats... your shop has lots of choices, so cheese cake at Cheescake Factory and Yogurtland...well sad to say. The one at Irvine Spectrum chose not to put out a sf option. So really big thank you.... you guys consistently come through for me! Here's a pic of my son's minion fudge pop. read more

Probably on the pricier side, and presentation isn't so much of a "wow" for what you pay - but still, their quality is great and fruit is fresh. Quite delicious if you ask me... but maybe it's because it's so costly that we think it's good? I've always been such a fan of chocolate covered strawberries & it definitely is such a great birthday or celebratory dessert. Love all the dessert or snack options here and will definitely be back. read more

This review is for the bad strawberry gelato, it was probably so old it had "freezer taste" and freezer burn, spots of old gelatinous goo, was horrible, I had to dump it. Service was nice, friendly counter staff. I should have gotten the double chocolate gelato like my friends. Plenty of delicious candy apples from caramel, chocolate and other toppings. Chocolate goodies galore. Stay away from the gelato! read more

Honestly I've realized this chain is only good for their apples. Their chocolate doesn't seem high quality compared to smaller chocolate shops. We stopped here for hot chocolate & chocolate covered honey comb and it was worst we have ever had. It was so watery. Was definitely a powder mix but not enough powder lol. Then the honeycomb is melting and unable to bite without it sticking to the front teeth. Was not made right or cheap honey comb. Not sure. I know you sometimes get a hard piece but this is just gross. Then we got some truffles and they were ok. Oreo one wasn't good The snickers apple was great. read more

My review is strictly about the Dubai chocolate. The dark chocolate specifically . $18 and it was so terrible ! I wish they had samples , I then bought the chocolate bombs the milk chocolate ones and it tastes better but still not great for $8.

This place was decked out for Easter with its little spring ducks and bunnies, ready for baskets. All of the confections were decked out waiting to be purchased. Candies, fudge and apples galore were luring folks to peep inside, but only a few parted with goodies. I wondered why, as I bought my favorite item, the caramel apple with peanuts. The cashier offered to cut it for me and I gladly accepted. I tried it out later the next day and was saddened it didn't have the same delicious taste and texture as those back on the east coast. I didn't try anything else, but it was worth a try. read more

While visiting the area we decided to grab a treat. Tiger snicker apple was ordered $11. We decided not to get it cut because the cashier stated it would be brown within an hr. so we waited to cut into it, same day by the way... i'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Customer service wasn't so great also. One of the young ladies that worked there was trying to get people in and out. No hello welcome in, just very loudly "what are you ordering, are you ready to order"? We barely made it in the door as it was others in front of us. Small shop by the way. I called and asked to speak to the manager and the young lady on the phone says to her coworker someone is requesting a manager. I knew then there's no one to speak to about the issue. She placed me on hold as she states she's going to make a call. Then she gets back on the phone and states well we don't issue refunds. I asked well what do you do if ppl are visiting the area and the product isn't right. Her response was you have to come back into the store and exchange it for a fresher apple. Now grant it, you can't tell if the apple is bad until you cut into it.... All and all no bueno. Also I didn't see any signs that states no refunds just exchanges... She said I could all during the week to speak with AL... I wonder if the owner or manager will tell me the same... read more
