They even gave us packaging the kept the chocolate cool on ice as the items sat in the car for a while under ice I will def come back for more. read more

TL;DR - Royce Chocolate is a great spot if you're looking for a gift or just want to treat yourself to some high-quality Japanese chocolate. The selection is huge, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and the chocolate texture felt very different from the typical chocolates I usually get. The shop itself felt a little small, but overall I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. There were so many eye-catching options that I was honestly a little overwhelmed in a good way. Everything is made in Japan, and the staff patiently explained the different chocolate types, which I really appreciated. Some of the chocolates also have liquor in them, so definitely be aware of that if you're buying for someone else or trying to avoid alcohol. I honestly don't even remember exactly which one I got, but I do remember being impressed by the texture. It was smooth and different from the usual chocolates I buy, and I'd give the chocolate itself a 5 out of 5. Service was also a 5 out of 5 for me. They were friendly, patient, and made the experience easy. There is plenty of parking, and they also offer gift wrapping, which makes this an especially good place for gifts. The only downside is that the space felt a little too small in my opinion, but I'd still come back. read more

I have never had Japanese chocolate before and getting to not only try it but hear how it's made and how the business got started was very interesting. The ladies there are super awesome. The chocolate literally melts in your mouth. I got to try the Nama Chocolate which is super delicate but decadent at the same time. One thing of note: the Nama Chocolate has to stay refrigerated. When you buy Nama Chocolate, they pack it in a thermal bag with an ice pack so it will survive the ride home. The chocolate is a bit pricy but I will say well worth it. Plus...it's coming from Japan...this is way cheaper than a plane ticket! read more

I splurged a bit on chocolate here but it was definitely worth it!! Inside was minimalistic but had great variety. Employee was very informed and knowledgeable- she walked us through each kind and the expected kinds of chocolate. I bought the Ecuador Sweet Nana Chocolate, the Black Chocolate bar, and the Matcha Bar Chocolate, all based off the employee's recommendation. I became instantly addicted!! This place is perfect for anyone with extra money looking for a special treat, gifts, and any other chocolate need! read more

Thanks to the Yelp experience I found out about Royce Chocolate located in John's Creek in the H-Mart plaza. This was my first time trying Japanese chocolate and it was so good. Each sample I tried was smooth, creamy and melts in your mouth. The alcohol infused ones were nice but my favorite surprisingly to me was the matcha. I purchased some milk chocolate to try in brownies. I definitely recommend this shop. The ladies were both friendly and helpful. read more

ROYCE Chocolate - Nama Chocolate "Matcha" - Candy Stores Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

The store is located in a plaza, so there are plenty of parking spots. It's a small shop that carries the full range of Royce' products. Royce' quality is already well known. They're rich and delicious. They also offer samples of certain products for you to try. The quality of their chocolate is outstanding, and so is the price. Buying in-store saves you the high shipping fees you'd pay when ordering online, since their products require dry ice for shipping to preserve quality. If you're into Japanese chocolate, this shop is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended! read more

Royce in Johns Creek is fantastic. It's conveniently located in the same plaza as H Mart with easy parking. I've been here a few times, and everyone is always so friendly and knowledgeable. The Nama collection is by far my favorite. I've never had anything like it before. Even friends who don't usually care for chocolate were amazed by how good it is. You really can't go wrong with any of the chocolates in that collection. My personal favorite is the Champagne Pierre Mignon. These chocolates make wonderful gifts and are always a hit. Highly recommend! read more

We entered the store and were pleasantly surprised with how well organized the chocolates were presented. The service at Royce is exceptional! The kind lady who helped us to samples was very knowledgeable about the different chocolates. My friends and I were super fans of the Nama chocolate. There are so many different kinds of Nama chocolates you can get, I wish they had a box of all of them! Texture and flavor wise, the Nama chocolate was smooth, decadent and delightful. We also enjoyed the Strawberry Fruit Bar which was described as an "elevated KitKat bar" and had strawberry and mango pieces. We also purchased the chips with chocolate but personally didn't think they were worth the price point. Overall, the chocolates were of very high quality which you could tell from the taste and packaging. This sweet little chocolate shop has some of the best gift options for yourself and others! read more

The chocolate at ROYCE is INCREDIBLE. I initially went here as a plus one for yelp elite event and got to try a few chocolate options and was hooked. The flavors are amazing and indulgent with each bite. We tried the chocolate bars, chocolate covered chips, and a few Nama chocolate flavors. I enjoyed the Nama chocolate the most and have gone back 3 times to get more for friends and family. They also have seasonal flavors which means there's always something new to try. The chocolate also comes in super cute boxes that are great for a gift. The staff here was incredibly friendly and helped us determine what the best fit chocolate was for us. They had flavors for people who like super sweet, fruity, or more bitter so would be a great choice for anyone. read more

Always a great selection. Their seasonal flavors are wonderful and the pistachio chocolates (their current flavor!) are delightful. Right next to other popular businesses with great parking spaces and classy staff, Royce makes a great stop for gifts or to treat yourself. Some options are gluten free, and all of the information cards include allergen info. Their more delicate Nama chocolates that require refrigeration are wrapped in a cold pack when you buy, and you can sign up for points upon checkout with your phone number which gets you discounts at various point levels. Prices may seem high at 15 to 25 dollars for one package of product or one large premium bar of pistachio chocolate, for example, but the quality of their chocolate and the intentionality of the chosen flavors are a testament to the Japanese reputation for crafting products with passion and simple elegance. Perfect for a decadent gift for any occasion. Not too sweet to be sickening, the chocolates have the perfect balance of flavors and are rich enough that one product can last because you will want to savor every bite. I highly recommend the pistachio chocolate bars and strawberry nama chocolate. read more

ROYCE Chocolate - Pistache Chocolat bar, seasonal flavor and my favorite item - Candy Stores Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

This is a hard experience to convey if you're only used to American chocolate. This is a FINE chocolate experience! Less sweet, more flavorful. I got some amazing things from here my whole family enjoyed. My personal favorite was the matcha potato chips. They have a line of NAMA chocolate that are like truffles- these blew my mind. These items are also such fun gift ideas! I expected to dislike the white chocolate thinking it would just be sweet but it tasted like cream- it was amazing!!!! I will be back to try more things and get gifts for people from here. read more

Royce chocolates are SO GOOD! I went there a few months ago to try some chocolate and have been back a few times since then. The nama chocolates are the best and there's a flavor for everyone. The chips were also great with a good balance of sweet and salty. It's a cute store and the everyone was very helpful in picking the best chocolate for me. Would recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

Disappointed by an Unpleasant Experience I've been a customer of this chocolate store for many years. But during a recent visit with my child, I had such an unpleasant experience that I won't be returning. We arrived a few minutes before closing, and the staff made it very clear we weren't welcome. There was no warmth, no kindness -- especially disappointing with a small child in tow. They refused to offer a sample, were cold throughout the interaction, and seemed more focused on closing than treating customers with any care. I still bought three boxes of chocolate, but quickly realized I had picked the wrong flavor. I turned around right away to exchange an unopened box -- only to be met with a firm "no" and a reference to corporate policy. Rules aside, what really bothered me was the complete lack of basic courtesy or flexibility. The staff seemed robotic and indifferent, with no effort to connect or show care for a returning customer. This isn't a one-of-a-kind chocolate store. There are plenty of others I can go to, and after this experience, I will. I hope management takes this seriously, because this kind of service turns people away -- even those trying to support your business. read more

This is the first time I've seen a Royce' standalone shop! Usually it's in an Asian grocery store or in a Las Vegas mall or casino. This store is very small and intimate but it seems to have most of the Royce' products. They had samples of their chocolates including the famous Nama chocolates. My parents really liked the Nama chocolates so we bought the Ecuador Sweet one which is less sweet than the milk chocolate. I have been a huge fan of Royce' Nama chocolates for many years and it still tastes just as good. It's very soft and creamy and just melts like butter. I have to resist eating so many pieces in one sitting! The store attendant was also really nice and patient with us for the samples. She also packed the box with a small ice pack and a cooler pack which was good for 2-3 hours outside. read more

We stopped in just to get some samples, but the nama chocolate was so incredible we couldn't leave without two boxes of the champagne flavor. The texture and mouthfeel isn't quite like any other chocolate we'd had before, without being overpoweringly sweet or bitter. The store itself is small with a limited seasonal curation of items, but the attendant was very helpful in pointing out items that we might like. I do have a feeling we'll probably be back for more once our supply runs out read more

ROYCE Chocolate - Nama Chocolate "Champagne Pierre Mignon" - Candy Stores Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I have been wrecking my brain to find a Christmas gift for my neighbor. He used to travel for work in Japan so I thought this will be a nice surprise for him. It's in the same shopping strip as H mart. There's no sign, but I was able to find it from the previous review (to the left of AT&T). They have posters outside in the windows. It's a small store, but lots of selection to choose from. They have their regular chocolate on the left and a display of seasonal on the right. We were greeted right away and told about a promotion where you get a box of nama chocolate and a cooler bag with Christmas selection box. We were overwhelmed by the choices and it was quite crowded in this Sunday afternoon. We did end up with the Christmas selection and it was wrapped nicely and ready to be gifted. Don't forget to Virgin check in for your bag of chocolate bars. I was a little disappointed where we weren't really taken care of and I had to seek the employees for any questions I had. Also, they didn't offer any samples and I am spending $80 on chocolate that I have no idea what it tastes like. Maybe they are overwhelmed with the amount of people there that day. We will try out our chocolates and see. read more

Such a cute little store, I was not familiar with Japanese chocolate so this was a new treat for me. I loved the creaminess of the chocolate and the subtle flavors. It's definitely perfect for savoring. I tried a few nama chocolates (Champagne, Bitter, and Ghana bitter). The Ghana and the regular Bitter were very close in flavor, but I ended up buying the Bitter simply because of the slight alcohol infusion. I also tried the chocolate wafers matcha and the cherry cube. I'm not typically a cherries and chocolate person, but the flavors were perfect and I'd definitely try them again. Overall love the chocolates and will definitely visit again when they have nama chocolate matcha available. The young lady that worked there was very nice and knowledgeable about the products. read more

Royce Chocolate finally opening in Georgia? And out of all places my hometown JC?! This was extreme news to me and I know I had to check it out. The fact that Royce finally opened in Georgia just means that Georgia is on its way to become a big name state, and it's absolutely fantastic. I'm not a HUGE fanatic of Royce, but I do enjoy their chocolate from time to time and since they opened, it is definitely worth checking them out. We visited, and the location is relatively small -- there isn't much walking room and you're exposed to the selection they have. They also have samples available (not Nama Chocolate - the signature Royce item) but you can try the chocolates out. My friend got the Au Lait Royce Nama Chocolate for $19.99 and what's nice about Royce is that they give you an icebag thingy that makes the chocolates cool for about 2-3 hours. We got it and did the unboxing right away. Immediately, I noticed that Royce doesn't put the mini forks anymore in the boxes which was a huge disappointment as the chocolate is usually smothered in ganache/cacao powder. Also, I don't know if my palates, standards and expectations have increased but it doesn't taste as good as I remember. It used to be more chewy and had a stronger flavor, but I couldn't get that this time around. Nevertheless, Royce is a great-tasting product and it's not bad, but I was just slightly underwhelmed. I would still come here to buy gifts and whatnot, but I don't know if I would purchase these chocolates for a whopping $19.99. Still, I'm very happy that we have such a high-end product in Georgia and it makes my inner-JC self happy (even though I don't live here anymore lol). read more

Great spot for a gift. Highly recommend the white chocolate (which was my husband's favorite and he doesn't like white chocolate) and the champagne chocolate. Both are Delicious. Cute packaging for gifts and unique combinations like their chocolate covered chips. You can expect to spend about $20 for most little items. If you are in the area, stop in and try a sample of their chocolate. It is soft like a ganache and stands out! The service team was also very knowledgeable and excited about the product. Nice to see a crew proud of their product! read more

We recently came here for a Yelp Elite Event and we loved it so much that we went back and got a box of the Champagne Nama Chocolate. It's heavenly! It has the best texture, the chocolate isn't too sweet or too bitter and it tastes so good! I'd highly recommend them! They're so nice, they always have some samples ready and they give lots of information about everything! read more

Located in the H-mart plaza next to the AT&T store. The storefront was not very obvious when we visited since they are still in the middle of setting up the store. The only indication was posters on the window. The store itself was also just set up in the front half of the space. And because of that, it currently looks like a popup. However, according to the staff member, they should be all set up by the beginning of 2023. The chocolates were great. We were able to sample a couple. The staff member was very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

So stoked that we have a Royce here. Right now, it's only a soft opening. So outside their store, they don't have a sign yet. But it's in the Johns creek hmart plaza, in between the metro bank and AT&T! Even though it's a small store, they still have lots to offer! I was really tempted to get the wafers, but I couldn't resist to get the Ghana bitter chocolates. It's a dark chocolate flavor that is rich. If you haven't had Royce chocolate before, the texture isn't hard. Even though the chocolates are kept cold, it's not hard. It almost melts in your mouth. They do have a variety pack with different assortments of chocolates and wafers. But I was just really focused on the Ghana bitter. It's liquor free so if you are a dark chocolate lover, I highly recommend it! read more

Wow what a wonderful Japanese chocolate gem ! Came here for a yelp event and Henry did a phenomenal job explaining the different chocolates they had! I am not a sweet person so for me to say that this is perfectly sweetened is an understatement because this chocolate is perfect ! As soon as you walk in you feel the luxury of the chocolate store ! It felt very clean and organized! I will definitely be back for some more rum and raisin chocolate! read more

I am SO EXCITED to finally have Royce chocolate in Atlanta and not just that, right by my parents' house. They are world known for their Nama chocolate, the melt in your mouth kind! I used to get this from Japan and fly it back. They pack it with a special cooling packaging bc the Nama chocolate specifically needs to be refrigerated. The store is small but it moves quick if you are good with decision making. Staff is very knowledgeable about the products and super fast with service as well as hospitable. So happy it's in John's Creek! read more

Have you ever had Japanese chocolate before? I haven't. My friend told me about ROYCE opening in Johns Creek so we came here to check it out. After one sample, I was pretty much sold. What makes these chocolates different? I would have to say that it's not too sweet, but at the same time it's not dense as your typical chocolates and more creamy. American chocolates to me is just filled with a ton of corn syrup and just so extremely sweet that it's unbearable. That, and I don't have a sweet tooth. I usually just stick to my European chocolates (I can never go back), but now I can say that Royce is a choice that I can fall back on. Right now, it's a bit hidden, but this location is the final spot for their store front. They will still have the same front of the store as it's pretty bare bones if you go in today. But they will be doing a full reno in December and in the new year they will be fully operational. I'm looking forward to seeing it! In the time being, you can still go in and check it out and buy chocolates. I would definitely recommend. Their chocolates have less than 1% of alcohol in them, there's actually only 2 "alcohol free" chocolates. I did also want to say most of the alcohol is burned off during the cook so there isn't really any alcohol in them. We bought a box of the dark bitter chocolates along with one of their Bar chocolate "Nut", which is just a super upgraded Kit-Kat bar. And it's really, really, good. I know it's ruined it for me. I've always had a love for kit-kat, but now ROYCE has ruined it for me. Definitely recommend anyone who loves premium chocolates to come and check out Royce. read more

Royce's Japanese chocolates are so delicious! Very creamy and subtle sweet!!! There are several varieties, such as pure chocolate with different degrees of bitter, nuts, fruits, and my favorite Matcha chocolate, aromatic matcha even with chocolate!!! Some people may like "Nama Chocolate" which is with a hint of alcohol inside the chocolate!!! read more

I have experienced chocolate in many flavors, textures and combinations. Royce does not disappoint. I walked in to experience Japanese Chocolate at it's finest and to try the samples that were out for customers. The representative that worked there was extremely knowledgeable about the company as well as the taste and textures that would suit the palate when it came to his descriptions of the chocolate. I loved the texture of the Nama chocolate in all forms. Think melt in your mouth truffle but without the hard shell of chocolate on the outside. When I was there a woman came in and replenished her supply of their cookies... This caught my attention, so OF COURSE I had to buy cookies! And omg! Bet you can't have just one. Such a unique taste, from the chocolate to the airy/crispy wafer that puts you in mind of a chocolate covered scone. The chocolate is delicious and gourmet. I will spread the word! The store is going to close at some point during the year to remodel and renovate, but FOR SURE will be reopening. So do not be discouraged if it appears to be that time... THEY NEED MORE SPACE FOR CHOCOLATE... DUH :) Check out my selections... all were amazing and BONUS... I got a box of my favorite chocolate that they offer... The Dark Chocolate infused with Cognac. YEAAA I SAID IT... But run to here now! They are running a spend $40 and get a free box of the Cognac Chocolate for FREE!. There may be other boxes to choose, buuttttt I stopped listening after "Congac". LOL Cheers! read more

I have ALWAYS loved Royce Chocolates before they ever arrived in GA, so words cannot describe how happy I am that they are now down the street from my place! What a great addition! I went in for the special AAPI month x yelp event, and was showered with samples. Everything tasted so good. I got to try a seasonal flavor nama flavor (strawberry) and it was delicious! Sales associate working was very kind and let my friend and I try other flavors of different lines of their products. I have no pictures because I was literally in a candy store, so the excitement overcame me. This place is perfect place to pick up a gift for someone or a little something for yourself! read more

These are my favorite chocolates! Rich, and decadent, Royce' almost always has something special for someone.

Came in with my 2 little boys (7 and 3) to try some free samples of new this Japanese chocolate place by H-mart. We got to try probably 5 different chocolates and omg, sooo good! I'm not even a chocolate lover but I was in love. I ended up buying 5 different types of chocolates from them because I couldn't resist. I wanted to get some for my Japanese husband to try but secretly it's for me hehe. My boys loved them, they even tried the dark chocolate with liquor ( they assured that it's fully cooked). I'll be in trouble since this place is like 8 mins from my house. Go try a new world of Japanese chocolate here ! read more
