Mr Kite’s The Chocolate shop since 1987

This place is great:) I live near by and come here more then I should haha. Try the Peanut Butter Smores, amazing! Mr. Kite always gives us recommendations and there hasn’t been anything that I’ve tried that I don’t like.

Stopped in with my family after a nice dinner at Forklore. Was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. Mr. Kite took the time to show us the different chocolate available.
We bought some things for our niece and nephew’s easter basket. The sugar free toffee was AMAZING. I had a birthday cake cone and my daughter had a small chocolate with peanut butter ice cream. It is slightly more expensive for the ice cream however with the other specialty chocolates they provide it merits so. I had a great experience so much that I had to come and Unilocal about it :)

I have been to this wonderful chocolate shop a few times now and always have a great experience picking out wonderful treats as gifts or something sweet for myself. The s’mores are always a hit to everyone I gift them to. Great shop with a great selection

This place is wonderful, and Dominic, the owner is a gem! They make great cookies, chocolate and serve great ice-​cream. It’s a wonderful place to buy gifts for others around holidays and special occasions. We bought chocolate cigars here to give the nurses when I gave birth to my daughter and they were a huge hit!

You’ll find the real Willy Wonka on Division Street.
Mr. Kite’s chocolates are out of this world! Personal favorites include Smores, chocolate covered bananas and peppermint bark. The ice creams are fantastic, too! Have a chocolate dream in mind– collaborate with Mr. Kite and eat your fantasy.

I paid almost 6 dollars for a soft serve waffle cone and they were skimpy on the ice cream. This place prices are such of an airport not wicker park.

Cute little chocolate/​candy/​ice cream shop. They have LOTS of different stuff, from hand dipped chocolate bananas to toffee to truffles… ice cream was pretty good too.

Had a chocolate covered frozen banana with nuts. The only improvement they could have made is using dark chocolate. It was a delight. The banana was so fresh. I wish I lived closer. But I will be back again when we’re in the ‘hood.

I am a regular customer. It’s pricey but they have great smores. I stopped by last week for some soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. When I got home I was disappointed to see that there were very few sprinkles on my ice cream. Mr. Kite is a nice guy and acknowledges how often I go in, he poured the sprinkles himself. I was annoyed, there are hundreds of ice cream places in the city that would charge half and not be cheap with sprinkles. I walked out $ 6.50 later with a vanilla soft serve with 5 sprinkles. I am a small business owner myself the golden rule is to take care of your regulars. If you are a heavy charger than give what you charge for.

I just paid $ 2.35 for one piece of candy. Doubt that’s gonna fly in this neighborhood.

I noticed this place for the first time today actually (after walking past it numerous times lol) I was really craving a piece of chocolate so I took a peak around. They have a lot of amazing looking candy but the first thing that caught my eye was the cupcakes. I’m a cupcake girl so I opted to immediately try their Smore Cupcake… OMG it’s ridiculously good! It’s one of the best cupcakes I’ve tried in a long time, the chocolate cake portion is super moist & it’s topped w/​a soft marshmallow buttercream frosting. I’m planning on going back to try some of their candy but the I’m definitely grabbing another cupcake from this place. I highly recommend giving this place a shot if you’re craving something sweet. Everything appears to be really high quality & the Smores cupcake is definitely a must try.

Best chocolates I’ve ever had and everything you can imagine dipped. The smores are amazing… and by the way they have incredible ICE CREAM! Superman flavor forth

My boyfriend and I decided to buy ourselves some chocolate for Valentine’s Day. Mr Kite was there and was very helpful and told us the story of his business. We got some great chocolate (lots of options to choose from) and great customer service! Huge chocolate covered strawberries too! Yummy! We will be going back!

My boyfriend and I were very curious to check out the new chocolate store, Mr. Kite’s, which recently opened up next door to him. When we entered, we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. They were eager to show us their varying selections of sweets and were also patient while we looked around. The staff pointed out
a bunch of different items they had on display from fudge to chocolate-​dipped fortune cookies. The back shelves had plenty of Christmas decorations, like pre-​made baskets filled with various chocolates, Christmas stockings, and other stocking stuffers.
Another customer inquired about the ice cream, which was labeled as «Mr. Kite’s ice cream.» She asked if the ice cream was original and made at the store. The employees clarified that the ice cream is actually made by another company. This was a little bit misleading, as I can see how customers might get the impression it was made there by Mr. Kite with the «Mr. Kite’s chocolate» labels on each. The staff were very friendly and offered to give us tastes of the ice cream even though our eyes were set on the chocolate. It was definitely delicious!
We decided on the milk chocolate-​covered s’more and the half-​pound M&M chocolate block. My s’more was HEAVENLY. I would absolutely come back for it. The chocolate was smooth, sweet, bountiful, and not too hard to bite into. The graham cracker was crisp and fresh. The half-​pound of M&M chocolate had tons of M&Ms throughout, not just on top as we had originally thought. It was very hard to bite into, however. Even though the chocolate was good, we would skip it next time we visit.
It’s dangerous to have a place as delicious as this in such close proximity because I know I’m going to be craving those chocolate peanut butter s’mores! I will certainly be back and I look forward to seeing this place thrive in Wicker Park, which was distinctly lacking a good chocolate store. Thanks to Mr. Kite’s, I now have the perfect place nearby to satisfy my chocolate sweet tooth!

Best chocolate you’ll have in Chicago! You must try the s’mores…a classic! And tonight we had a celebrity sighting: Mr. Kite himself!!!
