Lee Sims Chocolates — Restaurant in Jersey City

There are certain consolation prizes for living in Jersey City. I know, impossible right? Seriously though, there are a few places in this area that are great and much cheaper than they would be anywhere else. Lee Sims is a great example of that. Down by McGinley Square, Lee Sims has been in business for decades and is still going strong. Walking into their stores you'll get blasted with aromatic chocolate. They have a wide variety of different options--bars, turtles, pretzels, etc.--as well as baskets and boxes. The owner will be there and there's a good chance she'll serve you.

She even wrapped our purchases so lovingly and carefully with heart gift wrap in the spirit of hearts day, stating “Valentines Day is everyday!” We totally agree with you and can’t wait to visit again; thanks for your exceptional service, attention to detail, and...

Lee Sims is amazing! Their chocolate is soooo good. A Jersey City staple for decades! Def stop by and try them out. My favorite are the caramel nut clusters and chocolate covered strawberries.

Unfortunately, stay away during busy holidays. For Valentine’s Day it was a disaster. We ordered and paid in advance and still had to wait over an hour for pick up. The experience was awful. I understand we’re still in a pandemic but I don’t think the shop prepared properly. I’m very disappointed in the service we received and not even an apology.

I will still continue to support them, things happen and the chocolate is just that good! BUT I will stay away during busy holidays.

PS we get our Valentine’s Day goodies every year from them. This year they did not...
