Blommer Chocolate Store

Make sure you have an appointment and on time! Was 1 hour late (got the load 15 minutes before I had to be there) still took care of me just had to wait. There's parking behind building on Hubbard off des Plaines. Suggest parking there and walking by dock door to check out the dock. Have to back in off des Plaines and nobody to help stop traffic. Just gotta be patient and take your time.

I visit this shop periodically to buy chocolate discs to make candy. The premium melting discs are pre-tempered and can be easily molded into forms. My mother also enjoys shopping here for the Saratoga Dark and Alpine Dark chocolate. My Dad really likes the grapefruit-flavored gummy candy. My sister always finds some treats for her friends. In short, this little shop has something for the whole family to enjoy!☺

I passed the place many times and was always attracted by the smell of chocolate. So, today we finally made it to the store to buy some dark chocolate. The lady who works there was super nice and gave us to try chocolate ( and she gave us huge pieces to try, so by the end of our visit I felt stuffed with chocolate). They have a good choice of chocolate and I would definitely go back. They also have delicious ice cream from the factory that uses their chocolate in production. Vanilla ice cream covered with dark chocolate! Delicious!

Great memories of making deliveries of powdered milk here in the late 90's and early 2000's. How much fun it was parking under the tracks on North DesPlaines St., straddling the lines awaiting your turn in the docks. I never caught the lady's name who worked morning receiving, but once it was your turn in the dock, the dock leveller dropped and the bee-ess stopped. Many visits to the store as well, when I was there late enough for it to open up, of course. When you have to go here in a truck, it's good to have directions prior to arriving from someone who has been and can confirm that you'll fit under the train bridges. I hope the place hasn't changed since I was last there some 16-17yrs ago. They had good people there back then. Their products were good, too.
