Wow, if you love chocolate definitely stop here. It is right after the bridge over the Chicago river. The sipping cocoa is delicious. My son had the salted caramel hot cocoa. And said it was great. Very fast and efficient service. Very clean establishment.
I've been frequenting Ghirardelli in Chicago since 2007! The first time I bought one of their sundaes, they were $7. This location in Wrigley's building is far less crowded than the original location next to Water Tower Place. There is always ample seating. Service is very quick. I always get the treasure island sundae with the hot fudge and straight-out-of-the-oven ooey gooey brownie! They have a nice selection of chocolates and gift packs to take back home. My favorite being the trolley. This location has nice restrooms. The men's rooms require a code which you can obtain from the cashier or person taking your order. For strollers, use the elevator. The doors are large enough for a double stroller to glide through. The people working there still continue to wear masks which leads me to believe they really care about health and safety.
Oh yeah, destination forsure! Fun and festive and all that, but most importantly the chocolate lovers milkshake really is that good. Absolute 10/10 there, and from what everyone else got in the group I was with the consensus is that it's the best thing on the menu. Worth checking out forsure!
Chirardelli is located in the heart of Chicago, making it a convenient spot if you're craving chocolate or ice cream. However, I found their ice cream with all toppings and milkshakes to be overly sweet for my taste.
The 2nd floor was packed and super crowded
Not many seating although there are more space that they can add chairs and stables
The World Famous Sundae was really good!! I feel that for the price of 15 USD it is worth it. Huge serving for two
Ordered the non-dairy fudge sundae (I am lactose intolerant) and it tasted better than most vegan/non-dairy ice creams. Very smooth texture with indulgent rich fudge.
Only delta is that it is pricey, $20 after tax for most items. However the views make up for the cost.
The ambiance is great, and since it is an official chocolate shop the wait is long and the prices are high but the hot chocolate was great and worth it. The chocolate strawberries were great too.
Best Hot chocolate in the city! Not to mention the other stuff they have such as ice cream and chocolate.
Came here with my friend for a hot chocolate, we were looking for something “Christmasy” but they were sold out so we settled for this. It was so creamy and delicious, towards the bottom it was so thick, we requested extra milk and they gave us for free (grateful for that)
Nice and calming atmosphere, nice staff too.
While visiting Chicago in October, the temperature dropped and even started sleeting/ snowing one night. I went into Ghirardelli’s shop and grabbed a salted Carmel hot chocolate. Downstairs is a chocolate shop and up stairs is a full service ice cream and coffee shop.
