Lindt Chocolate Shop

Heaven for chocolate lovers.
Personally, I like Lindt better than Godiva and Ghirardelli. The store sells many types of chocolates not found in your typical store including some from their European collection.
The Straticcacella and the Coffee truffles were delicious. I have 35 more truffles in a bag that will surely be gone by the weekend.

Well, I’m not going to lie to you guys… I totally stopped into Lindt because I was hoping there would be an employee at the door handing out free truffles. And there was. Gosh I love a place that hands out free truffles just for walking in the door.
Its been a while since I was in a Lindt store — have you guys seen all the flavors they offer now? Like Dark Caramel Sea Salt! What? And of course they still have all of the old favorites — peanut butter*, hazelnut, stracciatella. I went in for a free sample and walked out with a small baggie of a few of the new flavors (65cents each). $ 4 wellllll worth it.
*For anybody going in looking for the peanut butter truffle — they keep it separate and up at the cash register so no one has to worry about peanut allergies. So don’t assume they don’t have that truffle — just ask when you get up to the counter.

Free truffle just for walking in! I’m pretty sure this shop has every flavor of Lindt truffle being offered, and you can get pretty good deals for buying them in bulk. They also have gift bags/​baskets and European chocolates too!

It’s time to give my old review a revamp. I wish I could do the same for the rating, but that’s as high as it’s going to go!
Whenever I’m walking southbound on 5^th Avenue, I always stop here. I’ve always loved Lindt (who also owns Ghirardelli) ever since I was a kid. There used to be stores in the Central Jersey area within malls and in the Woodbury Premium Outlet Center, but they’ve all closed down. So now the closest locations happen to be in the Jersey Shore Premium Outlet Center, and of course, HERE.
The store is kind of small, which was almost the same size as the former location in the Bridgewater Mall. They had shelves, which were stocked with bags of truffles and various chocolate bars across both sides of the store. In the middle of store, was the «bag your own» truffle area. This was where patrons were able to fill a bag with as many truffles as they liked and pay for it in the end. That area also had some unique flavors that probably couldn’t be bought elsewhere in wholesale clubs, like «strawberries and cream».
Upon walking into the store, we were greeted by a lady who gave us a sample of their milk chocolate truffle. Ahh, it was tasty as usual! Who doesn’t love receiving samples of this sweet stuff? So did we buy any truffles, today? No, we got something else.
We bought two chocolate bars. One of them was imported, and was a flavor that we’ve never had before (Stracciatella). Another one was a white chocolate mixed with pineapple and coconut (see photo). Customer service during our experience was really nice.
The lady at the register reminded us of the «Buy 4, Get 1 Free» deal since our amount was obviously below the requirement. We were also reminded of this deal by the other lady who gave us samples. That deal has been around for a long time, and we’ve always loved their offer. The fact that imported bars were part of this promotion was a huge plus. But this time, we didn’t participate in that promotion since we didn’t find any other unique flavors that was worth trying out.
I recommend this place to anyone who has a sweet tooth. Oh, and if you like Ghirardelli, you’ll probably like Lindt’s chocolates too. Cheers!

A crowded Lindt just off 5^th Avenue (there’s one actually just a little further down that is also similarly crowded with tourists and visitors), cashier register to the back of the store. A center space with individual truffles that you can pack up yourself is available and a back European chocolate pick-​your-​own is available, too — the queue is slower than the other store, but the chocolate is tasty. They had a free truffle (sea salt) as you walk in today. Staff here is rushed and but happy to greet you, which puts it one notch up on the other store.

I work around the corner from here… dangerous! When you go in, they’ll almost always give you a free sample.
They carry the usual Lindor Truffle balls and bars that are available in every drugstore, but they’re much fresher here. At the back, they carry Lindt’s line of truffles, which are $ 50/​lb or so, which gets you a LOT of truffles. My favorite thing are these little triangular pieces of gianduja, in dark, milk and white. They’re just a smooth piece of hazelnut-​chocolate paste, like Nutella, but way, way tastier. They also have an awesome truffle with Mozart’s face on the wrapper, which is filled with marzipan and hazelnut cream. Delightful.

I always come to the store for those special holidays, Xmas, Valentine’s day, Easter, Mother’s day, I do believe there’s a difference in what the shop sells compared to what you can buy in your local drug store. Truffles in every flavor imaginable, I just discovered the Irish cream and coconut flavors… OMG…H-E-A-V-E-N
Prices are fair, at $ 14/​lb that will give you about 36 truffles, only downside is that you must buy in 1 lb increments… no ½ lb… no ¼ lb. If not you pay 50 cents a truffle.
This place will fix all of your chocolate cravings!

Yes, the 2 Lindts in NYC are within 40 addresses of each other.
This shop ‘within’ the Peninsula Hotel (listed as #700) is run by some friendly staff who offered up the regular free truffle and honored the corporate Valentine’s-season freebie. They also honored the ‘free 15′ offer a few months later even more willingly.
FYI: The link on the listing is for a long-​expired corporate deal that they haven’t taken down.

Yummy in my tummy! Seriously Lindt chocolates has 2 stores on 5^th avenue New York real estate. Now that means Lindt is going out of business because of the high rent they are paying or people have serious chocolate cravings. I’ll go with the latter theory. Man this store is awesome. Floor to ceiling lindt chocolates. How can you not like this store… seriously.

Great chocolate but BEWARE of their shipping policy!!! They only ship M-​W! If you order after 1pm on Wed YOU ARE SCREWED!!! They won’t ship it until the next Monday but don’t bother to tell you this!!! Want to get a gift out??? FORGET IT.
The rep I spoke to told me the shipping policy is «clearly stated». When I asked her where, she had the nerve to tell me to scroll down on the page and click the tiny text that said shipping. SERIOUSLY??? How about warning your customers that you have the slowest shipping policy in all of the developed world before they order? Oh, and they ship ground, so after they take 6 days to fill your order, they then put it on a pony and smack it on the ass.
THANKS LINDT!!! You really know how to treat your customers right!!!
A little honesty goes a long way.

You can never go wrong with Lindt! Their signature chocolate balls are the BEST! The fancier stuff needs to be worked on but a delight to try. Get the rewards card to build up discounts!

Who wouldn’t want to get lost in a room full of chocolate bars and truffles???
Always so delicious, Lindt never fails me.
Excuse me.
I need to get a fix right now.

Too much upselling. Its chocolate. I like chocolate hence me being here in a chocolate store. Im going to buy it regardless of what todays promotion is.

A mecca of Lindt chocolates. So much more than you can find at your corner store or supermarket. Friendly staff, tasty chocolate, what more is there to say? It’s costly ($ 4-​ish for a big chocolate bar, $ 8-​$ 9 for a giant one), but it’s well worth it.
If I’m not mistaken, there are two Lindt shops in the same block. I have no idea why.
I was bummed to find my favorite Lindt chocolates (Sorbetttos) unavailable in January. I was told they are a seasonal item. They are always delicious, nothing seasonal about it for me. Not the fault of the shop, though. I will return.

I like Lindt a lot more than I like Godiva. It’s always been that way.
This place is an institution along 5^th avenue. I’ve spent way too many holidays coming in here and buying all types of chocolates– Dark Chocolate, Orange/​Dark Chocolate Truffles, Vanilla and White Chocolate truffles. The sales people are always quick to offer a free sample, which is sweet, but for me, that’s not the point of my visit.
Great deal to buy by the pound. One time, a while back, I spent over 100 bucks on Truffles by the pound. My friends and I (the three of us), watched movies, did our nails, went to tan in the park, drank martinis and ate chocolate all day — nothing else. We were unable to finish them and had A LOT left over. We got sick off of these babies. It took another month to finish them amongst the three of us. A little hedonistic… yeah.

YES YES YES! Their mint truffle is orgazmic. Actually, all their chocolates are! Before heading back to Cali, I bought 100pcs of their chocolates to take home. Before that, my aunt and I bought like 15bucks worth of chocolates on my first day in NYC after visiting St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Love the customer service here — they’re so nice!
A free truffle everytime I visit the store. Lately, it’s been just the regular milk chocolate truffle, but they let me switch it with whichever one I want usually. One time, an employee just gave me an extra one of the one I wanted, haha. They’re very generous with the samples.
The new vanilla truffle has got to be the best one ever. MMMm

I love chocolate and I love giving chocolate as gifts, so I stopped into Lindt briefly. Beware that this shop is very tiny, therefore during the holiday season, you will have to literally climb over people and ass bump them to get the items that you are looking for. You can find items here they do not sell in other stores, and you also have the option of mixing and matching your favorite kinds of chocolates. They also have alot of sales during the holidays. You can’t beat discounted chocolate!

This is my upgrade from Ghirardelli. You get a free sample, and the chocolates are absolutely delicious! Especially the white chocolate. Mmmmmmmmm. Get all kinds of cute packages, sizes, and unique wraps.
It’s a bit pricey, but you can also score a huge bag of ‘em at Costco: P

Free Samples!!!
Did that get your attention? Upon walking into Lindt you are greeted and handed the special of the day. It’s usually one piece, but sometimes you can get two. This store usually has specials around the holidays. Yes, they sell Lindt at other places, but this place you can actually make your own mix or get one of there signature chocolates. Also the prices are a little cheaper and they have specials when you buy in package deals.
