Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

Service was okay. Chocolate was pretty decent but pricy. Wish the cashier presented the store a bit better.

Just walked a mile from the hotel because my wife loves their chocolate apples. Arrived at 9:45. They close at 10. There were 2 girls inside working but the doors were locked. One girl came out and told me they closed early. I told her how far we walked for one of their apples (on display in front of me). She said «sorry», closed the door and walked away. Too bad. It used to be a favorite.

Delicious chocolate everywhere. I ate it all. Well not all of it… but a lot. I tried several different truffles filed with goodness. Very tasty. This location was right on the river walk so it made a good place to snack. The store had a large selection and a variety of chocolate treats. I’m sure I will be back seeing how chocolate is addictive. 5 star location.

Let’s not pretend this is anything more than what it is: a quirky, touristy venue off the river walk for sweet treats and gifts.
They ladies were friendly, and the service was quick. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a couple treats just outside their store on some quaint café tables. I had a haystack and a chocolate covered graham cracker. They were ‘ok.’ Nothing to write home about. We both tested a sample of fudge which I thought was too sweet (and I’m a big fudge fan — LOVE it!). I immediately knew any of my fudge recipes would kick its butt.
However, they do sell classic truffles, and those are hard to find anyplace other than Godiva these days. Unless you settle for the Walmart variety packs, which are quite tasty, and I will do myself.
But for quality, classic truffles? Hard to find… I bought a package of 9 as a gift for my mom when I got home. She said they were delicious and would not share. They got an extra star for that. :o)
So I cannot personally attest to the truffles, but I understand they’re worthy. The other sweet treats are good to satisfy a craving, but I wouldn’t horde it. It’s a fun and different stop if you’re walking the river walk. I would still recommend it it despite of its shortcomings.

Went in today asked for one special apple. The guy refused to make it because they were sooooo busy… there was only one person behind me in line. I was gonna buy some strawberries and fudge too. Shame cause i always come here and nowww i cant get my regular order… yea forget this place.

The 2 employees working were so upbeat and fun. They both had worked there for over 5 years and are pretty much chocolate specialists.
Every recommendation they made ended up being excellent. A little pricy but you’re paying for quality.

Oh you can’t go wrong with chocolate, especially here at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Once you walk in you will be drawn in by the scent of chocolate and the candy apples which will not fail to catch your attention.
My advise get one item of everything that catches your eye and just indulge yourself in the sensual of eating chocolate. You will love it in here

Way overpriced for what it is. $ 10 for a «slice» of fudge. It tasted like a milkyway bar that had been blended and reformed. Chocolate covered pretzel was no better than a nestle flipz. Sucks. Save your money

Caramel chocolate apple is darn good!!!

Picked up a few things; maple fudge, seafoam and chocolate covered espresso beans. The seafoam was really good, better than I’ve ever had. The fudge is very rich but good texture; creamy and smooth.

Totally delicious! The treats behind the display are so darn pretty that even if you don’t like chocolate, you will want to stop in for a peek. There are a ton of choices here, many candied apples, a handful of cookies types, plenty of chocolate covered goodies like pretzels, marshmallows, graham crackers and more. So many other treats like fudge and truffles too!
I only tried the two items I bought, Hubby picked out three and I did not get a taste of any. So, I went with two favorites of mine, a macadamia nut cookie and a toffee square covered in chocolate. Each were very good, if just a bit on the sugary sweet side, but I would visit again.
This is a perfect place to pick up a gift or a sweet treat for yourself!

This place gained its one star due to watered down hot cocoa and a Bear pretzel in which the pretzel was going stale. Ben ordered a almond dark choc cluster and it was okay. Not a whole lot of flavor or particulates. As a lover of Chocolate I was a very sad girl after leaving.

The display here was the first impression of the Walk as we stepped off the stairway from street level to the stones that line the River. Sweet ambassador for River Walk. Somebody call the Chamber.
My friend obsessed about the apples as we followed the meandering sidewalk along the water, but we agreed to make the Factory our last stop before we left. The 90+ heat persuaded me to wait at the gelato counter for the sweaty girl to put a $ 5 single scoop into a paper dish. Flavors are labelled in Spanish and in English. But not translatedside by side as might be reasonable. Half the bins carried hand-​written Spanish names, and on the right side of the display the other half of the bins were labelled in pre-​printed English. That reminded me of how uneasily close this tourist enclave is to the contentious border with Mexico.
The heat was also the arbiter for deciding whether the caramel apple was take-​out or eaten on the spot. My friend feared the worst and decided against letting it get away from the store. She rightly worried that the caramel that neatly covered the huge green apple underneath would end up in an unslathered, worthless mess if we tried to transport it across a few Texas miles.
Now isn’t that just another metaphor in your face for international happenings around these parts?

You have to try the Monster Apple! It’s soooo good!

I love Rocky Mountain Chocolates, but this shop was a let-​down! There was a total lack of variety. They didn’t even have cremes or caramels, and barely had any truffles. Maybe I went there on a bad day or something… But it was 2 days before Valentine’s Day! There wasn’t even any Valentine-​themed chocolate displayed! WTH? There was only one assortment box displayed, which had 4 chocolates in them. I was really bummed because I was looking for a larger assortment.
If you walk past this shop, still take a peek inside… Hopefully you’ll find a better selection on your visit than I did. If not, you can always order online.

Fabulous end to a perfect day on Riverwalk! We were walking back to our hotel from dinner when we noticed this cute little chocolate store. It’s sooo neat and clean, and all the desserts look soo good. Since we had just had a large dinner, we didn’t want too much. I just got a pretzel rod with caramel, peanuts, and chocolate. On the way out, I was instructing my boyfriend that for my birthday (in two days), he better come back and buy me some chocolate covered strawberries… one of the staff members must have heard, because he was waiting at the door with the most delicious chocolate covered strawberry ever, just for me, with a «happy early birthday» wish. Excellent customer service, fantastic desserts, cute little shop. I will 100% be back (probably every night of our vacation). Definately stop in!

I discovered this little gem of a chocolate shop right on the Riverwalk. Not one to ever walk by a chocolate shop, I decided to stop in and see what this one had to offer. Everything in here looked delectable. They had a mouth-​watering display of several kinds of chocolate, caramel and candy covered apples right as you walked through the door. Right after that was a beautiful display of fudge, truffles and other types of candy. Like every thing else on the Riverwalk, this shop was very expensive. I paid $ 7 for 3 truffles. However, one of them was an out of this world chipotle chili truffle and another was called a 911 truffle with 3 layers — one each of milk, dark and white chocolate. I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven — perhaps that’s why they named it 911?

Ohhh man. This was the highlight of our river walk stroll this weekend. This place was sooooo good. I think that what I appreciated most was the mix of standard chocolate truffles (which were high quality) and the less standard chocolate and candied fruits. There were three things that were show stoppers to me here and will be a MUST-​HAVE on every future river walk trip. 1. The coated apples-​words do not do them justice. Just get one with a ton of stuff on it, they are AWESOME. 2. The chocolate coated orange peels 3. The ancho chile truffles. This place is great, we spent a lot of money here and I don’t regret it at all.

On our last day in San Antonio my friends and I decided after lunch to take one last walk down the river walk for some final shopping. The wife of the best friend of my arm candy that I can currently seeing had stopped in the afternoon before when they had been out looking at watches in the store next door and raved about the dipped strawberries so I knew I needed to check this place out.
The men went to look at watches while the ladies shopped for last minute gifts to take home for everyone. Once I was done I popped into Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to see what Brit had raved about.
Smart choice I made. OMG the caramel and chocolate dipped apples, chocolate dipped strawberries, fudge, truffles, etc… I almost had to walk out for fear of the pounds I would put on but the smell was so amazing I couldn’t stop myself from looking at all their goodies (sorry there is no smell-​o-​vision can I tell you) my toes curled as I looked and took in all the wonderful smells and visions of lovely chocolates displayed.
I reviewed all the items in the brightly lit cases and I have to say the store was so clean that I think I would have eaten something off the floor if I could have talked them into dropping something.
After spending about 10 minutes looking at everything I decided to be a good girl and purchased 2 dipped strawberries coated with both milk and white chocolate ($ 2.75 each) to share with my new friend Brit.
As well as taking the plunge and get what is called a PB Bucket for myself they are sold in milk, dark and white chocolate with plain or crunchy homemade peanut butter in them. My choice of course was milk with plain pb inside. To those who have never seen one think outrageous sized Reese Peanut Butter Cup. They are so large they are sold by weight and at $ 24.00 a lb I knew it had to be delish because if not I was going to be one very unhappy customer paying that kind of money for something. ($ 7.04 total)
They wrapped up my goodies and asked me one last time if I needed anything else and had to say no I can’t, just as one of the guys behind the counter says to me I think I know you what is your name? I told him and it turns out we knew each other years ago when I lived in SAT. What a small world can I tell you!
So all said and done I would highly recommend as you are strolling along the River Walk in San Antonio, TX to make sure you stop by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for some of the wonderful, fantastic, smelling and tasting delights.
