Le Chocolat du Bouchard in Yorkville

Really disappointing that Le Chocolat du Bouchard decided to support someone like Darren Bailey by providing their space and food for his meet & greet. Will stick to other chocolate shops.

Supporting White Christian Nationalism is not a good look. Your store has always been overpriced and inauthentic; now it’s just gross.

This place is really cool and has all kinds of stuff. However, I felt the staff was a bit under educated on certain items and really couldn’t tell us more info about the items or treats in the store. It was a shame because I would have spent a lot more money.

Beautiful wedding shower for my beautiful niece. Food was delicious and deserts were out of this world delicious.

This place use to be such a fun chocolate place to go to years ago! Now I can’t even get in haha! I have tried to go to Le Chocolat 3 different times this year. In the winter, early this summer, and just yesterday. Every time they have been closed when they said they were suppose to be open. If you ever need some fun chocolate recommendations because Le Chocolat is closed once again, try Geneva! They have All Chocolate Kitchen and Graham’s 318!

Macarons are hard. Not very good.

The truffles are stupendous! Everything in the store is fabulous and employees are helpful and patient. The bistro is cozy and you can have coffee with your yummies from next door. I always go for special occasions.

I have been a loyal satisfied customer for years but now am just shocked and extremely disappointed by their product and especially their treatment. When my order of 2 boxes of the chocolate regimen arrived, only one was boxed in the typical manner. Shockingly the other was not boxed at all but was only in a flimsy cellophane bag. As soon as I lifted the bag all of the chocolate slipped out the bottom loose and unprotected. I immediately took a picture and sent to Maria who had taken my original order. She apologized and said she would take my concern to Cathy the owner. When I never heard back, I texted Maria again and she said that Cathy would be taking care of it and would contact me. However she never did. I spent weeks trying to contact Cathy by phone, text and email. She responded to email once saying that she never saw the picture and that they always send it boxed. I sent her the picture again and said thats exactly why Im looking for an explanation as to why theyd be sent so carelessly since they always have been boxed in the past. She left me one voicemail asking me to call her back which I did, but again she has never responded. I guess the takeaway here is you may like her products, but just hope a problem never arises for you. Because it seems Cathy Bouchard cannot be bothered. Again, so disappointed after our long history :(

Dont bother with their overpriced truffles. They all taste the same, not the best chocolate (Hersheys tastes better). Strawberry truffle tastes the same as mint and vanilla or cappuccino. Go somewhere else for a $6 truffle. Or get a bag of M&Ms.

Stopped by this past weekend. 3 employees all on there phones..we were the only customers in the shop. We waited by the cabinet with Bark and Clusters for over 10 minutes...offered no service at all. NONE!!! Finally resorted to tapping on the counter. Talking OUT LOUD about what we wanted...NO SERVICE.

Walked through downtown Naperville and passed by La Chocolat. Saw a sign outside that gave false advertisement. There was no shakes, no crepes, nothing on the menu outside. Very upsetting ): we did end up getting the carrot cake which was decently good. They gave us the excuse of COVID but with no further explanation. I hope the next time we visit they actually have everything they advertised on their outside menu.

Stopped by here for a chocolate eclair. I am an eclair connoisseur and happy to report that this is a very good eclair. Better than anything I ate in Beverly Hills including the the shame of France, the overrated Laduree. I would say this is the 4th best eclair. Top 2 are outside the country. The ambience is nice and the service was great. The cashier was classy and professional with a good memory.

Ok place. Nicely decorated store. Chocolates are usually good, but sometimes they are so-so. The chocolates I purchased today seemed "old", and not very flavorful. Management is not very impressive and can be unfriendly at times. You will spend some money here. Everything is expensive. Right now they are remodeling so the selection appears to be limited. I keep going back with hope that one day?

Macarons here are a bit on the crunchy side, not too soft on the inside and extremely sweet... I enjoyed that there were a lot of varieties though! The staff were okay, I said excuse me a couple of times yet the two staff were focused on one customer. Also, one lady gave me a glaring look and just walked by me while I was looking around, which did not make me feel good. Overall though, very cute and elegant shop! It would be great if there were prices to see.

Beautiful looking desserts with very little taste outside of being sweet. My wife and I did a closed eye test to see if we could actually taste the chocolate and the German chocolate mini. Unfortunately you could not although it was beautiful to look at. Im thinking for near $8 for whats the size of a cupcake should actually taste like German chocolate. I know everyone is having a hard time covid period but I would encourage them to try harder.

I went here just to pick up some chocolates for a gift. All of the staff was rude and only half of them were touching food and not wearing masks. They didn’t know what they were selling and a lot of the signs for the chocolates weren’t matching up. The staff had to ask me which was which… they also put the chocolates I got in a box that was too big and I didn’t gift worthy. When I got home they were all rolling around in the box. I could have gotten something better and more quality at any of the candy stores in Naperville. I won’t be back.

Great selection of pastries, candies, chocolates, truffles, etc. Lots of staff, all eager to help. Small dining area is in an adjacent room where you can order drinks as well. Yummy sweets, mediocre coffee, beautiful interior, no prices displayed.

Placed a custom pick up order several days in advance. Went to go Pickup day of event turns out they gave away my order. They said they had several other events pop up and had to use my desserts that I prepaid for already. Who does that? They refused to refund the order at all since I had specific desserts picked out for my party theme. According to the worker they said these things happen all the time and we can’t do anything about it.Avoid this scam place, what kind of place takes your money for a custom order gives it away to someone else then refuses to refund you.Last time I order for them. Terrible handling of the order and terrible customer service.

Went there with some girlfriends for lunch and desserts. They didn’t have a chef so no food is being served at this time. I wish they would have mentioned it on their website. Needless to say there were four very disappointed ladies that day. Good thing that there are plenty eating establishments around here.If they were transparent with customers and updated their site to reflect no lunch we would have been happy to eat else where and come back for dessert. I understand the hardships of staffing. Hopefully they find a chef soon as the menu looked amazing.

We visited for coffee and desert when it was not busy at all. There were at least 5 employees, and not more than 3 guests other us in the cafe. We had to wait for a long time in order to be seated. They were not serving lunch menu at the time, only desert. Once we ordered, we got a table and were served, the barista did not even offer giving us any napkins, or bother explaining the items we ordered in our desert flight. Terrible service, desert items were average.

So confused because typically this restaurant is a favorite. When we entered, it was as if we were invisible. Nobody approached us or offered to help us. We eventually ordered at the bar. When we received our drinks, we did not get what we ordered. We then actually had to wait to pay, as nobody offered to help us.We had to ask someone if we could pay them. She reluctantly took our money with a terrible attitude. To top it all off, the bathroom was filthy.

Birthday celebration was sweet and joyful with a variety of chocolate drinks and sweet treats in a family favorite shop in downtown Naperville

I worked with the owner, Kathy Bouchard, to host a wine and chocolate pairing/dessert event for my bridesmaids, mom, and I a couple of weeks ago. I was really excited to do this there as now I live out of state, but Le Chocolat was one of my favorite places to go growing up. Kathy was very kind, responsive, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process, and was even there on the day of the event to make sure everything ran smoothly.Beforehand, she put together adorable gift boxes of chocolate for each one of my guests that had custom gift tags. The day of, she placed one box at each table setting and went above and beyond in decorating for the event and making everything so cute!During times like this, I am especially appreciative of businesses who go above and beyond to help people host a very special event when they are able to get people together. The quality of all of the food and drinks at Le Chocolat is still amazing and I cannot wait to continue visiting Le Chocolat whenever I return to Naperville.

My family and I came here this weekend to celebrate two birthdays and we had a great time! The food was good and the dessert was even better. I got a chocolate chai latte, artisan grilled cheese and the carrot cake, which is the best I have ever had! We will be sure to return!

Great spot for a casual dinner or drinks. Cute ambiance, vintage decor and cozy feel. My husband and I came for dinner and our server was very attentive and made great recommendations. Food was really good (gorgeous platingand drinks were delicious (highly recommend the chocolate martini). It was crowded (there was a wait without reservations), but we were well tended to and didn’t feel rushed. Will be coming back to check out the connected pastry & chocolate shop!

My wife and I came in and brought a few of our friends with us and had some chocolate martinis and dessert, and we had a wonderful experience! The waitress was polite and attentive and the food and drinks were delicious. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to our friends.

Everything weve had is amazing here! Weve tried the macarons, truffles, and merlot chocolate sauce. The macarons are the best weve come across in the Chicagoland area. We visit Le Chocolat every couple weeks for a special treat. Yum!

We tried to go for dinner on June 13.  Were told the kitchen was closed due to "electrical issues."  Nothing on their website or social media accounts to give people a heads-up.   Called the following Wednesday and were told they were still having the same electrical issues.  Still nothing on their website. Talked to a very rude employee on the phone on Saturday who confirmed the kitchen was back open.  Finally went in on June 20 - when we got there the wait staff said they were unsure if the chef was even still there.  What?  We were some of the only patrons in the restaurant, but somehow service was still very slow.  Its clear they put most of their effort into their truffles and other chocolates and the French entrees are at best an afterthought.  Pretty underwhelming place.  Have walked by during their "open" hours on Sundays and consistently seen nobody in the dining room.  They are "open" until 8 PM on Sundays but dont try to go there within an hour of closing. Could use a shot in the arm in terms of overall quality.

Beautiful venue with a classic vintage feel. The specialty here is as their name implies, CHOCOLATE!Bought a 5" Death by Chocolate Cake today and it was wonderfully rich. The cocoa taste was present but not bitter, which I would prefer, nonetheless still really good. The ganache is perfect, not hard dry or too soft but melts in your mouth.

Chocolate beverages are awesome! Crepes are decent!Make sure you dont land up there within an hour of their closing time. Things would seem pretty rushed. Repeated reminder from the server feels like you have a timer ticking!!!

Cute & cozy. The staff was friendly & helpful with menu questions if youre visiting for the 1st time. The desserts & drinks were AMAZING!

Poor service! We use to love this place. I don’t know what’s going on. It was freezing inside. I asked for double espresso with steamed milk, the waitress started that the late is the same thing I had to end up with the bad quality late. My friends had cappuccino and hot chocolate they were not happy at all with their choices. We asked for some sugar on a table of four the waitress brought us only 2 spoons for mixing. The worst thing was only cake that they had available for order from their menu was the chocolate And the carrot cake. And we went there specially for the the Bailey’s cake. Reason why they had only this two cakes available she said they are short of cakes because they sold out for Valentine’s Day. Hmm today is the 17th.

I Enjoy the premier chocolate drinks . This is a really art feeling space. A place for sweet escape.

My husband and I really wanted to try a French bakery. And we found this lovely place while searching around. We were not disappointed. Very quaint and lovely atmosphere and so friendly as well.The macarons are amazing! They literally melt in your mouth. I highly recommend this place.

I’ve came here a few times just for the chocolate and rich chocolate cakes, amazing btw. They actually have a cafe attach to it with nice brunch options. Love their Le Chocolate Tarte ay Poulet and Classic Ham & Cheese Crepes.

What awesome customer service! We came in to get some dessert and the staff was incredible kind and engaging. We accidentally forgot our dessert and the gentleman came running down the street to give it to us!

The brownie with ice cream here was amazing and prices are great too! My friend ordered a mocha which came in a huge mug and the waitress was very nice about letting us take it to go.

One of my favorite shops for dessert in downtown Naperville...they have a huge selection of choices in chocolate...try their specialty chocolate drinks.....you can either sit and enjoy the delicacy or takeout...if you love chocolate this is your shop

Le Chocolat (the bistrois a nice destination for dessert or to satisfy that chocolate craving. Service at the bistro can be a bit slow and disorganized at times, and the menu is outdated as some options have been removed but are still listed. But overall, the desserts and variety of warm and cold drinks are absolutely delicious and more than make up for the occasional short comings of the service.

It was easy to make a reservation with google maps and open table. No waiting time at all. The food was tasty and the staff was friendly. We came because the place is famous for its hot chocolate. I give them extra points because is the first place where they bring it as it should be... Hot and not just warm. The only downside of Le Chocolat du Bouchard are the truffles, Dulce de Leche truffle had caramel and not the real thing. My Argentinian girlfriend was disappointed. Aztec gold wasn’t very good, just good. We bought a couple more to go, I’ll post my experience later when we try them.

Such a cute little cafe! They have sweet decadent treats you can order as well as a sit down cafe to order coffee/chocolate drinks, food, as well as dessert!They are well known for their carrot cake but I cant say it was my favorite since Im a chocoholic. Chocolate mousse cake was just amazing! Our server was patient with us and super friendly! I felt like she was one of the girls.Great spot for talking over drinks with girlfriends, dates, family. A must visit if you like chocolate at all!

Service: Waited 15 minutes. Waiting staff were super friendly. Drinks were quick. 5/5Drinks: a little too sweet, but still great. Very rich.Pro tip: any hot drink can be iced or turned into a milkshake (see belowfor no extra charge. 5/5Overall, I’ve been here three times so far, and will come again soon.

Trés delicieux! It is just plain wrong NOT to visit while in Naperville. Whether it is the pastry and truffles counter or the sit down restaurant, it is always a pleasure to spend any length of time here. Cakes, drinking chocolate, chocktails, dessert flights, THE CHOCOLATE CHAI, and still more... Do yourself a favor and allons-y!

What a nice place to get tiny chocolates and macaroons. You may buy all types chocolates, brownies, truffles and any thing covered in chocolate. There is also a bar attached to get different martinis and other drinks and enjoy your treats.

Came here only for the dessert so thats all I can speak on.The food here is wonderful. Between all the great drinks, desserts and pastries I would be a regular at this place. However, the service is essentially not existent. We waited nearly 10 minutes to be served with no one looking in the direction of the hostess stand, almost if they were all content with ignoring customers. Maybe they were hoping we would just leave? We finally get seated and our waitress simply doesnt come back to take our order. When we asked, apparently she had left and the new server didnt know. We get the food ( the only remedying quality about this placeand are ready to pay. Again, another waiting game for the check to come out, leading to us again having to ask. It was not like they were super busy and couldnt spare a moment, it was more like everyone was actively avoiding making eye contact, hoping that someone else would do it.Lastly, I stop to buy one dessert from the case before heading out and I simply could not get anyones attention to get it for me. The only worker in the place was just hanging out in the back glaring away. We eventually just left empty handed.Overall, the food is great, the service is awful. Its almost as though they dont want customers to come.

Very cute little place. Went for dessert after dinner somewhere else. Many flavors of truffles to choose from, three we had were delicious and the hot chocolate was amazing. Raspberry tuffle in picture

I like everything here, from the shop atmosphere, the various types of desserts, to the drinks menu " especially the Hot chocolate" My favorite dessert shop.

If you love chocolate this is the place to go!As you walk in you see some tasty treats like macaroons and marshmallow pops. Blonde brownie bars and cookies. The giant chocolate Carmel pretzel cookie was phenomenal, Id share it next time (completely felt glutinous having it all to myself). There were cake pops at the register as well. To your left opposite the baked goods side is another wall of goodies but to be honest Ive saved that wall for a second visit. The place is decorated with so many goodies, a newbie would be overwhelmed.To the left of the register is a chocolate display of what I felt the Willy Wonka chocolate shop in Italy would look like. Although you can also take a jewelry shop and replace the gems with chocolate. Walking amazed from right to left at the ridiculous amount of delicious flavors. And the artistry of these chocolate pieces are spectacular, I contemplated maybe just buying it to start a chocolate art collection. But who can sit there and stare at chocolate without wanting to bite into it?I left with two pieces of the English toffee and the dark chocolate salted Carmel. Oh. My. gah! Soooo good.Next door is a cafe. Ive been there a couple times. Its definitely a date night spot or a place to have an intimate small gathering. I had a chai latte and a decadent chocolate desert. I would definitely go again.They do offer gift certificates, but call in advance they may run out. It would make a great gift!

I took my daughter there for her 22nd birthday on 6/21/17 around 11:30am. We were greeted by a tall, full bodied, casually dressed woman screaming at her staff. The crab salad was not available. Chicken croissant sandwich was not available either. They did not have the soup either. We left.By the way.. if your website says that you are serving lunch from 11am to 3pm.. then be ready to serve it at 11am.

Beautiful chocolate and desert shop. I picked up macaroons and chocolates as gifts. They were absolutely delicious. I wish they did gift wrapping though, or had ribbon for their boxes which are a bit plain.
