ROYCE' Chocolate at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater — Restaurant in Edgewater

Calling all chocolate lovers! Have you ever tried Japanese chocolates before?

While Western chocolate comes in many different varieties, they tend to be on the overly sweet or bitter side, depending on the brand and type.

On the other hand, Japanese chocolates tend to be more mild in flavor and a bit on the milkier side. This is by no means a traditional or native confection to Japan. However, it is still one of the most popular snack and dessert options.

Royce' Chocolate is a family-owned business based in Sapporo City, Hokkaido. Founded in 1983, Royce’s mission has always been to deliver delicious chocolate products using only high-quality ingredients. Their popularity has spread overseas in recent years.

Today, my partner and I had the pleasure of attending Yelp's Summer of Sweet event at ROYCE' Chocolate in Edgewater, located in Mitsuwa Marketplace, thanks to Sara and the staff at Royce.

Upon arrival at their cozy establishment as first-timers, we were greeted by the manager, Suzzane.

She explained to us the history of chocolate making in Japan and the company. Samples of the chocolates began with Champagne Pierre Mignon, Nama Chocolate Ecuador Sweet, Prafeuille Chocolat Orange, and Potato Chip Chocolate, which were appreciated.

The taste is unique, creamy, & just simply amazing. They have a good selection of chocolate infused with assorted flavors.

Your taste buds will thank us, which we...

Went to this place for a Yelp event and it was fantastic. Upon entering the store you can tell that everything is clean and well maintained with a sophisticated ambiance. The manager Suzanne was very charismatic and gregarious. She explained the history of ROYCE extremely well and gave us her personal favorites and recommendations. The taste testing was also wonderful. The Nama chocolate “Champagne Pierre Mignon” was our group’s favorite. The chocolate was very smooth and delicious I don’t think I would ever taste other chocolates the same way again. She also gave us gift bags after the event filled with more sample, stickers, coupon, etc. We purchased the products she recommended— like potato chip chocolate original and matcha and pistachio. She emphasized that the seasonal products are in demand so we wanted to try those. I definitely will purchase more from this store. The chocolate sets would be really...
