Best place ever!!! The best chocolate pla e to get bacon bark, and chocolate covered potato chips. A must stop for visitors

This is definitely a nice stop on a road trip! It's a small little store where you can see them making chocolates. I decided on cashew brittle and their dark chocolate coconut haystacks. The brittle is a lighter colored, thin brittle. It is pretty tasty. Their coconut haystacks are AMAZING though (and I am constantly asked to make my 'famous' coconut haystacks). I love, love, LOVE these! Definitely a great place to stop read more

The three stars is for the attitude of the owner. We perceived him as not happy to be there. We purchased chocolates, asked questions about his candy and got attitude back from him. The chocolate he uses is not exactly high end. It is one of the lower quality chocolates and he was resistant to tell us the brand when I asked him straight out "what chocolate do you use?" His answer was "Real chocolate". I don't know if that is because of needing to save money due to covid issues, but I don't think we are going to go back. read more

A must visit in Southwest Michigan! The chocolate is made in small batches! The dark chocolate espresso beans are top notch. The owners are dedicated to customer satisfaction. read more

Sells chocolates, fudge, beaded jewelry, and painted wineglasses, among other things. The chocolate and the fudge are too sweet for my taste (the fudge was almost like penuche). Free samples of the fudge; it might not be too sweet for yours. Nut brittles available with a wide selection of nuts (I got cashew). The dark chocolate toffee bark, however, is really, really good. Very friendly people. Some really lovely beaded jewelry, though $38 for a beaded 3-D flower pin was a bit much for me. read more

You find this place because of the advertisements for another chocolate spot nearby. This place may not be as cute as the other place but baby the chocolate is great. The dark chocolate bacon with sea salt is sooo good and the overall variety is good. Will definitely stop back when I pass by again. read more

This place rocks! Definitely worth the stop! Chocolate covered bacon is delicious, but their fudge is amazing! My mom, who is diabetic, swears by their sugar-free chocolates. She said it is the best she has ever had!!! The couple that own the shop enjoy what they do and it shows!!!! A MUST stop place for great chocolate creations!!! read more

The candy was outstanding. The owner was very helpful and very friendly. Was able to make my wife extremely happy with her valentines chocolate. Highly recommended read more

Still one of my favorite stops. Worth our hour drive for the best in sweetness! I have been coming to Vineyards Gourmet Chocolate for a few years now (at least 5-6 years). I am so happy Steve is keeping his mom and dad's name alive and proud. Be it fudge or cake balls there isn't one item that's not incredible tasting. I usually purchase enough to share with friends and co-worker, they love me for my gift of chocolate. I suggest the cakeballs. They are moist, flavorful balls of pure goodness. Another favorite is the Dark Chocolate Almond Bark with Sea Salt. Now doesn't that just sound yummy! They are open year round and will also ship orders to you. read more

I stopped by here after the chocolate garden. I saw the line that said chocolate bacon so I was hooked to try it. I ordered a piece of reg and a piece of peppered. The reg was ok, the peppered was way too peppery. Also the pieces are smaller than a golf pencil. It was $1 each. They also offer lots of fudge and like 3 truffles and a bunch of other random chocolate stuff. Def a large selection, including honey. I also got a caramel truffel. This cost me about $2, cheaper and bigger than chocolate garden. It i s about the size of a lindor truffle, actually a lil bigger, with a cakey type center, caramel and toffee. It was very good! VERY nice people at the counter! They have over 100 items and they give out free samples. When I was there they made this pumpkin fudge that had no pumpkin in it but all the spices, yum! they also let you order online at vineyardsgourmet.com It lists summer hours as Mon-Sun 10-6 but no fall hours... read more

This is exactly the type of place I like as far as chocolate/candy shops go! It had such a welcoming feel to the place. I stopped by on a trip to Chicago. Steve was such a nice guy, and very helpful with the many questions I had. I highly recommend this place. I tried chocolate walnut fudge, chocolate peanut butter fudge, chocolate covered cashews, and my personal favorite were the gummi bears! Best gummi bears I ever had. I will be stopping by again for sure. The prices are very reasonable too! read more

Cute little place with a nice assortment of chocolates. I had to try their chocolate bacon, it was interesting didnt care much for it. We stopped by here during our brewery tour. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My fiancé and I were driving through Michigan one day and saw all the signs for Chocolate Garden ... Im a pastry chef so chocolate excites me lol , when i see garden i started to picture this huge place full of everything except the kitchen sink covered in chocolate ... So my dismay it was only truffles VERY expensive truffles. Well we are here so might as well look around! We did a chocolate tasting , which we had to pay for, but if im paying all that $ i want to make sure i like it ! We got 6 truffles , which were prepackaged and different flavors so you cant pick two .. So u might want a cherry and a caramel but if its not on the shelf you kinda go ... bc they wont make it for you. So last week my sister and I were in Michigan and she took me here. i walked in to cases filled with chocolate i was in my happy place ! The owner was there and I will say he is the nicest guy, talked to us about his chocolate and how he can ship anything we want to us.. I mean he couldnt have been any nicer . Him and his wife work to make their customers happy and thats refreshing nowadays . His prices were reasonable and affordable and you can watch as they make stuff in the kitchen , they were making brittle that day! H is cake balls were the best i have tasted and my sister agrees on that one, im considering buying and having him ship some to me for my wedding bc his banana cake ball covered in chocolate ?!?!? Come on!!! I was mad i only got one of that flavor lol read more

Stopped in here on Valentine's Day with my son and picked up an assortment of their best selling chocolates for my wife. The place was neat and tidy and the chocolates were yummy. read more

Last fall I visited the Coloma area with some friends, we were visiting the wineries in the area. Originally after seeing the many signs for the Chocolate Garden, we were going to stop in despite reading the reviews on Yelp about how you have to pay for tastings, the truffles were expensive, etc. Personally, I like chocolate, but I'm not even a fan of truffles so I'm a fan of variety. My local chocolate store, Fannie May always gives you a full piece of chocolate when you're in there shopping...I've never even heard of paying for a chocolate tasting! We were on our way to Contessa and spotted this place and of course the chocolate covered bacon sign caught my eye so we decided to stop in to try it...and we left with some other goodies too. They sell bags of gummies and such so there is more than chocolate here. My sister and I visited again yesterday while in the area. She picked up a variety of things, and I got a few cake balls... O M G they are amazing!!!! I just text messaged her and asked her when we're going back. She loved all her puchases too. This place is great! We got to chat with the owner for a bit too, he is very nice and all about making his customers happy. After our visit yesterday we visited 12 corners winery and they give you a sample of the dark chocolate bark with sea salt from this place after your wine tasting and it was sooooo good. Thankfully they sell a few things from this place there so my sister picked up some additional chocolate bark after trying it. If you are in the area, you will pass this place so definitely stop in, I guarantee you will walk out with something!!! Also, they ship for $9 so odds are I won't be driving out to Southwest Michigan in the Winter, but I'd opt to order for those special occasions. read more

Anywhere with chocolate-covered bacon gets a thumbs up in my book!! The pieces were small, but it's probably for the best to have portion control with that particular snack. I also got a peanut butter cup with milk chocolate, it was rich but very good. We'd definitely stop by if we were near there again, it's right off 94! read more

AMAZING!! Found this gem on a road trip and I'm so glad we stopped. Bought a little of everything. The Bacon Bark, Chocolate potato chip stack & triple dipped malted milk balls were the favorites! The milk chocolate bacon bark was so delicious! The salty pieces of perfectly cooked bacon covered in a rich creamy smooth milk chocolate are absolutely amazing! The salty & sweet combo is always a winner, but the chocolate covered potato chip were heaven! We were definitely doing the happy dance after every bite!!! read more

Excellent chocolate and choices of chocolate ;-) Small place with a little window that i suppose you can see them making the chocolates at the right time. Easy to get to location as well . Prices are fair too . I will be back when I'm in the area again . read more

Can't say enough good things. The shop was adorable, the staff was very friendly... the chocolate, OMG!! We were introduced to Vineyards Gourmet during a wine tasting at 12 Corners Vineyard (also reviewed). It was so good we decided to stop in and see what other sinful delights they had in store. Wide variety to choose from, reasonable prices for very good quality chocolate. My new personal addiction, jalepeno bacon cloaked in milk chocolate. Salty, sweet, bacon with a kick, unexpected deliciousness. If you are going to stop at on chocolatier, make it this one. read more

Never in my life have I met someone so disrespectful! I would never buy any products from this place. The environment was small and not very Interesting. I do not recommend this place and am overall very unimpressed. Horrible customer service, and for some reason they were babysitting and burping a baby while handling the food. read more

Delicious & creative chocolates! Owner is awesome & friendly with lots of local tips and advice. CHOCOLATE BACON!!!! Why do I need to say more?!? Go here!!! read more

My friend I absolutely love stopping in every time we come to Coloma. Having homemade chocolate while sending some time away from home is a must and this chocolate hits the spot! The prices are decent and everything is delicious! The staff is always friendly and willing to answer any questions. - Two Chicago Girls read more

Their dark chocolate candied orange peel bark is, by far, THE BEST i've ever had, ever in my life. If you come here for one thing, make sure it's the bark. The bacon is great too, but the bark is what these guys do best. read more

They have quite the assortment of chocolates here including a section of sugar-free chocolates. I ordered the milk chocolate covered cordial cherry which was delicious. When we first walked in we were greeted right away. The girl at the counter quickly walked over to us and began giving us information on their chocolates. When we were ready the other lady was equally efficient. They have little barrels on the wall full of ready to go bagged chocolate and candy for $2 a pop. I had the chocolate covered pretzels which included white, milk, and dark. It's a great place to go if you're looking for regular or unique chocolate. They have over 100 different kinds including chocolate bacon if you're feeling adventurous! read more

Absolutely the best! This is exactly what you expect out of a chocolate shop. They have everything from chocolate bacon to chocolate blueberries to fudge and everything is to die for! The prices are reasonable, too! Dont miss this one :-) read more

Great place - love the dark chocolate almond bark with sea salt the best! Didn't really care for the bacon but liked the turtles and just about everything else we bought. Prices are reasonable (much more than The Chocolate Garden) and John the owner is super nice! We will be regulars! read more

Delicious chocolate and a wonderful selection. Helpful and friendly staff. Have returned many times and will continue to do so.

My boyfriend and I came here last year on a very snowy Valentine's Day. The owner and her husband were extremely friendly and welcoming! This year (2016) we came back and they remembered us. What a cool experience! The dark chocolate covered bacon with sea salt is a must try! read more

Best chocolate I have ever had! Reasonable prices for how good the chocolate is. We recently tried Chocolate garden down the street. $6 for 2 little truffles, way overpriced. The truffle was good but not for that price. I like the sea salt milk choc or dark choc toffee best, fudge delicious too. read more

Awesome. Loved the chocolate covered bacon! Staff was very friendly and helpful. I may not visit in person but I will be buying on line again! read more

They claim the smoke filled shop has all the candy made by John. When in fact it is not. It was so filled with the smell of a Smokers Lounge it was almost to much for me to bare. The best thing in there is the gummy worms. Of course, made by another company. They also say they use the best chocolate, but really you can taste the wax. One of the new items in the store is the chocolate wax covered fat, they call chocolate covered bacon. If your going to pay those prices you better at least get what your paying for. I think it's a knock- off of the shops you find up north. For instance you can go to Mackinaw Island and find plenty of shops like this and get way better fudge and the same products of better quality! read more

Excellent chocolate fudge!!! I love the chocolate almond bark and toffee bark. I recommend you buy the chocolate walnut fudge! I will definitely stop by again! Great prices, too. High quality fudge:) Lisa D., Wixom read more

Steve & Jaime are amazing!! I have been stopping in everytime I travel to see my daughter, son-in-law & grand babies! I now cannot show up without chocolate bacon!! Steve accomadated me coming after hours last time! So I am still the best grandma!! Love the kiwi bark, dark chocolate cashew turtles & dark chocolate covered cherries & of course, chocolate bacon !! And the cake balls! Lemon, carrott, red velvet, German chocolate, banana, orange, can't even remember all the choices!! If you are in this part of the country you must stop!! read more

The absolute best chocolate place in the area. So tasty and the prices are great! We are returning customers and always will be.

They make all the chocolates right there on site and have the absolute best tasting chocolate that money can buy! Make sure you try the chocolate covered bacon! Yes, the CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON!! Delicious!! So when you are traveling down 94 in Michigan, make sure to keep your eye out for the Coloma exit! location is very easy to find, right off of the highway. PLEASE NOTE: After looking at the map provided on here, the location is wrong. So, heres what you do....when coming from either direction on 94, you will turn LEFT after coming down the Coloma exit ramp. Drive about a mile or so down the road and Vineyard Gourmet Chocolates will be on your left! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!! read more

My husband and I stopped in last night after wine tasting at Contessa. The chocolate here is fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! I practically had taste-bud orgasm when I bit down on the milk chocolate strawberry shortcake piece. Mmmmmmmmmmm... read more

This place rocks. The family is absolutely friendly and pleasant. I have purchased a wide variety of items from Vineyards and have not been disappointed in anything I have had from here. Contrary to competitors comments, I recommend this as a definite stop off of I-94. My friend & I make it a point to stop twice a year when we travel to Michigan. There is nothing I enjoy more than going home with a bag full of dark chocolate goodies. Keep up the great work Vineyards. read more
