Maurie’s Fine Chocolates

I am a fan fan fan of Maurie’s! While the customer service isn’t always the best, the chocolate is. I have ordered multiple pounds of dark chocolate covered ginger for my mom and she says that it’s the best around! They also roast their own almonds and cashews etc. so the quality is very high. I would recommend the dark chocolate covered almonds or bark — it’s divine!

Five stars all the way! This is my first visit. And second visit in one day. Love their chocolates, so rich and decadent. I was worry after reading one review saying the chocolates were hard… that’s not good. Pleasantly surprised all the truffles I got were great, the mouth feel were awesome! My soul was embraced by the feeling of love; that’s what great chocolates do to me! They offered several dark truffles to chose from;with slightly different textures and flavor notes. All were MMMyummy, but my very very favorite was the «rolled truffle». As long as they have it in the store I won’t get anything else from now on!

I was contacted by Cher, the owner of the store, regarding my first experience. She was apologetic and pledged to fix the issues I encountered on my initial visit.
When I revisited the store today, she gave me some samples of their 72 and 91 percent chocolate, and some truffles as well. I saw that she had indeed added signs to indicate what was in stock, and told me she spoke with her employee about how to offer better customer service. I’m impressed by her follow-​up — 3 cheers for businesses that adapt and make themselves better!

I was a Gail Ambrosius fan until I tried Maurie’s Chocolates. The store is so friendly, clean and full of chocolates. The chocolate is fresh and samples are plenty. Prices are fair with «green» packages. Love that alternative. Those other boxes are a waste. Thanks for the great treats.

Pleased that Madison still has Maurie’s. These chocolates were a memorable, delicious, and attractive wedding favor in 2002, when fine chocolate seemed more of a rare treat than today! I will remember to visit again the next time I am in town.

Stumbled across Maurie’s during the Monroe St Festival yesterday. I immediately fell in love. The small little store has such a large volume of chocolate, and delicious at that!
I got the En Voyage signature cherry chocolate sheets, and my girlfriend got a milk chocolate cat that is just ADORABLE.
We even got a free dark chocolate bar with our purchase.
This local business is great.

Walking into Maurie’s is like walking into an art gallery that smells like the paint, canvas, and frames are all made of Swiss milk chocolate. Aside from the classic truffles, toffees, and sea salted caramels there are shoes made of chocolate. Seriously. Shoes. «Winner of National Award One of a Kind Artisan Designed Chocolate Shoe.» Solid dark chocolate, completely edible shoes. Ruffles, straps, buckles. Is this some kind of twisted, dark, chocolate Cinderella-​at-​the-​Ball nightmare? And by nightmare I mean dream.
I opted for a few simple chocs and shied away from the cocoa stilettos, but I am intrigued and abso-​boot-​ly going back.

Delightful little independent chocolatier in Mad-​town!
While on a bit of an errand, I made my way to Maurie’s on Monroe in order to pick up a grip — I kid, more like 25 – 30 — packages of chocolates.
Lovely, truffle-​y things they were… and the nice lady behind the counter gave me a sample for the walk back to HotelRED to boot!
I love little shops like this that take care to execute their particular craft correctly… and they’re not necessarily big, you know, but they do what they do very very well.
Me + Madison + craving chocolate = headed to Maurie’s, or looking for their chocolates in local shops/​at markets. Win!

good local chocolatier. Why are all the 5 star reviews «filtered» below? beats me…

The chocolates are sort of ‘meh’. Mostly, they just taste of dark chocolate. The infusions and various flavorings are so faint, it’s really difficult to get a fix on what they are supposed to be. I consume quite a bit of very decent chocolates, from a number of chocolatiers– in fact those are the #1 places I go when I travel. So it’s really not just me. :) I had a coupon for a free box of ‘Spring Fling’ selection of chocolates, and used it for a Mother’s day gift. Well, then I won this other thing for mother’s day my mom will like MUCH more, and decided to test out the box myself. The pamphlet with the box states there’s 15 types, but the box only has 9. Ok, well, I get that there may be any of the 15 in there. I looked on the website, and the picture shows ROWS of chocolates to be included in this box, so there’s a pretty big strike 1. One of the chocolates in the box isn’t on the pamphlet OR the website– strike 2. ALL the the chocolates except for one (the Lucy– which was really actually pretty interesting) were flavored so faintly, I could barely taste the difference– strike 3. PLUS they were HARD. I mean tooth-​hurty hard. It wasn’t a temperature thing, just likely a fat content of the chocolate thing. Since each piece is really large, and at least 3 bites (some more), this is an actual problem. Each chocolate was from a different shaped mold, but the variations on color were either from colored white chocolate or painted on– which is nice and fine. Not every chocolatier needs to invest in edible pearl dust. However, the colors were red, white and blue. While this is very patriotic, it looked pretty odd on dark chocolate.
Really too bad, too. I know that the owner was behind the counter the day I went in, and it’s a local company. I’ll not necessarily recommend them, but if you’re on Monroe street and want chocolate, try it. But just pick one flavor you’re interested in, and go for that one first. If you like it, then try more.
