"I've tried chocolate from every corner of the world, but Genevieve's is the best!!! If you haven't tried it yet, why wait? Excellent flavor, rich and creamy chocolate, but even better, the customer service in the shop is superb!"
- Amy Sellars | 13th April 2017
"I've been going to Genevieve since I was knee high to a grasshopper. It's family tradition since I moved to NC. I'm so glad they deliver. I can pass it on to my children and grandchildren. Thank you for some many decades of your service to our community, my family. Never change. Love a loyal customer."
- RoseAnn Vaxmonsky Warren | 10th April 2017
"We make our pilgrimage to Genevieve's every year for Easter. My husband's Mother always got her Easter candy there. When we lived in Elmwood Park, we always went there. Now we live an hour away but every Easter we go."
- Cathy Maiorino Lawrick | 1st February 2017
"Absolutely the BEST chocolates ever!!! I have been going to Genevieve's for 40 years. The staff is so helpful and courteous."

- Kristal Amanda | 21st July 2017
"I haven't had Genevieve's for about 25 years. I bit into a chocolate today - it was just as amazing as I recall as a little girl. I am so glad they haven't changed over time. Never change. You're perfect just as you are."
- Zia Delacroix | 12th December 2016
"I've lived in Garfield all my life. I remember my mom getting the chocolate covered crackers, they are the best. Now my kids enjoy all their great chocolates...you will not be disappointed! It is addicting..!"
- Chery Socha | 12th March 2016
"My family has been ordering from Genevieve's for decades. It is the best chocolate. This year I sent in an order by fax. One of the items was not available. After trying to contact me and failing the good folks at Genevieve's made a substitution. They included a note in the box explaining the substitution and hoped it met with my approval. It was so thoughtful and I am so pleased with the level of service I have received. I wish everyone at Genevieve's the best and hope they are in business for decades more."
- Randal Sullivan | 21st December 2014
"BEST chocolate! The only kind we ever put in our Easter baskets and love to grab treats the rest of the year. There is nothing better than stepping foot into their shop. My family has been going here since my great-grandmother started shopping here. Love it!"
- Samantha D'Aloisio-Schmunk | 11th March 2016
"I would love to go to Genevieve's as a child....the chocolates were just amazing to see and of course to eat. Well worth the trip. We need a Genevieve's here in GA."
- Katherine DeSalvo | 19th September 2015
"Love the white chocolate; it's so rich and creamy and they have the best overstuffed peanut butter cups! Craving them right now!"
- Antonella Lo Presti | 17th January 2016
"Genevieve's chocolate is the best! I have been eating it since a child. Now my children and grandchildren enjoy it. There's always a box or bag of Genevieve's in our house, especially at any given holiday."
- Kathleen Kurgan Savino | 17th March 2016
"When my sister comes home to visit us from New Jersey, we give her a hug then immediately ask "where is the chocolate?!" Absolutely love it! The chocolate covered crackers are addicting, beware."
- Carleigh Conroy | 20th September 2015
"It's always wonderful to receive a gift of the most delicious chocolates from Genevieve's. And it's perfectly acceptable to treat yourself to these amazing creations!"
- Karen Chappell | 16th March 2016
"This is the best chocolate around. Our family has been buying it for years."
- Barry Homyack | 16th March 2016
"Unbelievably delicious! But dangerous because you have to eat it all up!"
- Viki Lastrina | 21st September 2015
"I have been going there since I was little! Best chocolate ever! Love the chocolate covered crackers and apricots!"
- Jamie Van Der Horn | 21st September 2015
"Growing up in town this place is a staple for delicious homemade chocolate. Valentine's they gave fresh chocolate covered strawberries and Easter tons of bunny and chick shaped chocolates as well as filled eggs. They offer sugar-free versions of some of the chocolates. Truffles, chocolate and nut, and chocolate jellies by the pound. This place once had a full stock of teddy bears, stuffed animals, and gift cards although over the years as shopping turned online and more use of e-Cards those shelves emptied a bit. Still the chocolate is what keeps people coming back for more. Worth a try."
- Beata M | 6th June 2017
"This place has some delicious homemade chocolate. A must try here is their chocolate covered strawberries, I promise you will not be disappointed. I am just not sure if they have them all year round so I would call first. Prices are comparable to other places I have checked out. The staff is very personable. They do not have a parking lot but street parking is easy to find."
- Michele D | 19th July 2015
"This place had a wide variety of chocolates and truffles. Also sugar-free variety. I chose a wide variety of chocolates and loved every one of them. Can't wait to go back and try some truffles."
- Wendy P | 22nd April 2017
"This was our first time coming for our daughter's chocolate Easter bunny. They had a huge selection of chocolate bunnies with different designs and even crosses for the more religious and a lot of add-ons for Easter, such as Easter chocolate balls, Easter lollipops. They wrapped the chocolate very nicely where I don't have to re-wrap which is a major plus. We will be shopping here more often. This is without a doubt a hidden gem that I am glad I found (:"
- Erin M. | 9th April 2017
"Literally the best chocolate I have ever had. Old world style, homemade, exceptional perfection... it's indescribable. The biggest drawback is that I've never been able to enjoy big brand chocolate having grown up on Genevieve's chocolate for every holiday.
At Easter, they have a wall of chocolate bunnies in all different shapes and sizes.
Get the assorted meltaways box!! You can smell all the different flavors. Raspberry, mint, hazelnut, double chocolate... Divine."
- Lisa V. | 19th April 2016
"Me and my whole family love coming here. My mom and her family have grown up coming here since they were kids and lived in the area. Now I come here for candy, especially around Easter. They have candy and chocolate that is different from every other place. Amazing! Their place is quiet and clean. The staff is all very warm and helpful. I don't what other great things I can say about this! I plan to take my kids here one day and keep the tradition going.
Absolute best chocolate around!"
- Lauren B. | 17th April 2016
"Best chocolate around!!!! Everything I have tried here is amazing...chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered pretzels, assorted box of chocolates. There isn't a piece of chocolate that I've tried that has disappointed me! Good job Genevieve's!!"
- Piera C. | 16th February 2016
"I'm from Garfield and have had that chocolate every Easter since I was born.. THERE IS NO ONE BETTER!!"
- John C. | 26th December 2015
"BEST Chocolate covered Strawberries ever!!! Introduced to this place about 3 yrs ago.....every year I am looking for my Vday surprise from here! LOVE LOVE LOVEeeee them!!"
- Tere J. | 15th February 2015
"Been coming here since I was a child and this shop is so precious with the most delicious chocolates. I love to give the meltaways as gifts and people just love them. Everyone in my family has their favorite chocolate covered item and it's always a loving gift to surprise them with. Get your friends and family hooked on these chocolates and you will have a lifetime of memories! Bring your kids too!"
- Kim S. | 6th May 2016
"Genevieve's is absolutely the best chocolate shop in North Jersey. The chocolate is smooth and creamy and they have the BEST Jordan crackers and chocolate covered strawberries! The staff is always very pleasant and friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Give this place a try, you will not regret it."
- Nadia H. | 1st April 2015
"... Well, let me say Genevieve's is a special place. I just got a box of their candy for Valentine's Day and ... wow. Their chocolate is truly outstanding. Sweet but subtle, great mouth feel, no aftertaste that's common with so much manufactured chocolate (and even some homemade chocolates). The taste of Genevieve's chocolate changes as you chew or even hold it in your mouth. It's quite an experience.
Really, it can't compare to any candy I've had in recent memory...
Honestly, I'm surprised I hadn't heard of them until today. They're so damn good!"
- Cat A. | 14th February 2016
"I drove all the way out to Genevieve's in New Jersey from Long Island, NY simply because I heard that they were the best in the game! And guess what? They are absolutely incredible. Chocolate is made on prem and is so good. The chocolate covered strawberries made on Easter and Valentines Day are the best I have ever had (even better than Godiva and that says a TON.) The service was great; there were older ladies working the counter who were super sweet and nice. GREAT PLACE I RECOMMEND."
- Greg G. | 27th February 2015
"So you're familiar with the expression "Like a kid in a candy shop"...... well that was me today.
Genevieve's is one of those great local neighborhood places that has been around forever......and for good reason, their chocolates are outstanding. If you're a chocoholic, you'll love this little place!
They have just about everything you would want covered in chocolate......pretzels, marshmallows, fruits, nuts, twinkies, even espresso beans!
Be prepared to spend some serious coin in this place as it's on the pricey side. But like I always say, the finer things in life ain't cheap."
- Dave F. | 8th February 2012
"My absolute favorite chocolate store since I was 5. The chocolate is homemade, super creamy and delicious! They also have awesome Easter statues for the whole family.. Ballerinas, motorcycle bunnies and everything in between. Love them!!"
- Jackie S. | 15th April 2014
"This is my childhood stomping ground for all things chocolate. It was here that I became a fan of white chocolate, the elusive and often hard to perfect, less popular shade in the chocolate family. I never understood when everyone cringed when I said I loved white chocolate until I tasted other brands' versions...ick! What can I say, I've been completely spoiled by the homemade chocolate treats that I make the journey back (to my childhood neighborhood) to every Easter.
When you walk into this tiny, unassuming shop, you're immediately intoxicated by the delicious aroma of chocolate. It's a tiny family run store that has shelves lined up with delectable chocolate creations in the shapes of bunnies, kitties, and elaborate Easter sculptures; all crafted with love and chocolate goodness. My favorite treats include the dark or milk chocolate covered crackers, the dark chocolate covered Oreos, the solid eggs and bunnies, as well as the coconut eggs. You really can't go wrong with whatever you get. The jellybeans are also the best I have ever tasted.
I simply love this place. It's a small town treasure that will always be a must for my annual Easter shopping. You haven't experienced chocolate decadence until you've tasted Genevieve's chocolate. Enjoy!"
- Karrin P. | 6th April 2012
"My aunt has been buying chocolates for my wife for as long as I can remember. She always purchased a 2 lb box of mixed milk and dark chocolate and the box contained mix fruits, nuts and jellies. It was always a hit for my wife. Unfortunately, my aunt passed away and I had to carry on the tradition of a 2 lb box from Genevieve's. So I went there today and picked up some of their fine chocolates for Christmas. I usually bought Godiva for her but she always said that Genevieve's chocolates were better. Check this place out. They are that good!"
- Matt S. | 15th December 2013
"My wife brings me home their butter nut crunch toffee as a special treat. She and the kids love the haystacks and the Jordan crackers also get rave reviews. The dark chocolate almond bark is another favorite. They also make chocolate covered strawberries (better than any others we have tasted!) for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day."
- Jim L. | 10th January 2014
"Delish, always excellent chocolate - i suggest the double dipped Jordan crackers!! YUM!"
- Melissa H. | 11th April 2012
"I visited this place a couple of weeks ago, bought my kids chocolate cover pretzels, and sugar-free chocolate for my husband. They were all very fresh and delicious, the older lady in the store was very sweet also. Little expensive but it's worth it!"
- Selma S. | 26th March 2014
"The best chocolate place (better than Godiva)!!! They have the best coconut clusters chocolates. For Valentine's Day, they have these gigantic chocolate covered strawberries (very sweet and juicy...size of an apple). I love this place."
- Kathy N. | 3rd February 2012
"I noticed a review for Genevieve's while browsing my "nearby Yelp feed", and I am glad I did.
I had never been to this section of Garfield. The store is located in a mostly residential area of Garfield. I came here to pick up some chocolates for Valentine's Day. The store was pretty busy but they kept the line moving along.
The chocolate covered strawberries were a big hit. The wife loved them. They had a thick coating of very nice tasting milk chocolate on them. I loved the chocolate covered Oreos. Great tasting and they were nicely decorated. They had a nice selection of chocolates and other sweets.
Definitely a great local business to support!"

I tried the chocolate covered strawberries. the chocolate's taste and quality is amazing. It's very fresh. however, the layer of chocolate was a bit too thick for me, making it a bit overpowering. Final thought: I will come back to try other items on the menu very soon.

My family has been a customer at Genevieve's since the mid 1950's. I have purchase from them in person and by mail order from Florida, Arizona and Connecticut over the years. They are the best chocolatiers in NJ and can go head to head with the best in NYC.

Received a box of chocolates as a gift. Best way I can explain it: imagine the best possible version of old school filled chocolates you enjoyed as a kid from the local chocolatier. That's what these are. Not too "fancy" but each piece is perfectly formed, outstandingly fresh, and flavored. I will totally order these myself, and I live in DC where there are plenty of local chocolate places. I have tried them, but Genevieve's is much better.

I've been hooked on Genevieve's double-dipped chocolate-covered Jordan crackers ever since I was a youngster. Nothing but the best will do for Mother's Day. Also picked up some chocolate covered strawberries and Krispy Kreme donut flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans for Mom. Two thumbs up all the way!

Robert B
I've been shopping at this location longer than I can remember. The absolute BEST homemade chocolate shop in the aera. Those who like other brands, need to try this place, not as sweet, but all the right flavor. Prices have gone up over time, but whose haven't. Come Valentine's Day, their chicane covered straberries are to die for, fresh fruit, layered in thick, decadent chocalate. Worth every dollar! You will not find this quality of chocalate in box stores, surrounding shops.

Best chocolate place I know of. Despite living in upstate NY, my family still buys chocolate from here on the holidays. I would try to recommend something, but all of their chocolate is good. They have chocolate covered nuts, dried fruit, pretzels, crackers, oreos, and plenty more.
