Highest quality chocolate you can imagine, all made locally (in the back room!) and served up with friendliness! Special dietary options usually available too.

Local Guide

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff helped us find all the dairy-free options and let my kid pick the color of the ribbon. My kid loved the (dairy-free!) candied fruit and marzipan as much as the adults did.

I wanted some premium sugar-free chocolates for my parents and visited this local place not knowing what to expect. The woman at the register greeted us kindly and gave us a good overview of the immense selection of chocolates. After my first bite, i was absolutely shocked at the quality of the chocolate. These were amazing!! I had the sugar-free daisies and almond milk and dark chocolates. I loved the dark chocolate but i have an innate preference towards them. The rich taste and creamy texture could infect anyone with a sweet tooth. In short, excellent customer service, Immense selection and probably the best chocolates I have had.

Let's cut to the chase... there is not a better chocolate shop anywhere than The Belgian Chocolatier Piron. Nope, not even in Belgium (from whence the shop owners hail). They are not cheap, but they shouldn't be. The chocolates are handmade, incredibly fresh and AMAZING! Everyone has their own tastes when it comes to chocolate selection, but having tried everything they make in this shop, I can assure you that you will pick a winner every time. The owners and their staff are always friendly, helpful and considerate. They take the time to ask if the chocolates are a gift, being transported via air, etc. and package accordingly. This shop is a treasure.

I've been to Belgium and I've been to the Belgian Chocolatier and the Belgian Chocolatier is better. Yeah, I said it...\\

Oh my gosh, my favorite Chocolatier EVER!!! I do not usually like filled chocolates, especially when they are filled with raspberry cream. Piron completely changed my opinions about chocolates. Never again will I buy a cheap box of chocolates. Thank you Piron for BLOWIN' my mind.

😉Their chocolates are one of the finest I have ever had! I ordered chocolate filled heart shape box it was delivered to my house in rural Virginia with a problem I would give them 5 out of 5 stars...do not hesitate to order from them.

Eating a Piron Mokka Manon sends a bulletin to a part of the brain that is not normally awake. It kind of feels like holding hands with your high school sweetheart.

This unassuming little shop in Evanston is a Chicagoland gem. Here you will find chocolate that surpasses any chain any day.

We went there for the first time a few days ago. We've lived in Evanston for 21 years and did not know of this place. The chocolates are fantastic and the staff was wonderful. The owner was kind enough to come out of the kitchen and answer my many questions about how this magic is done. If you like chocolates....you gotta go there!!

Some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Hot chocolate is the best in the city and a mouth Orgasm.

Valerie

Yelp

This is the absolute best chocolate. It is beautiful as well. I have given this as gifts for years and the recipients are always impressed. I have been a customer for decades and can't praise Bob and Fred enough. If you really want something unique, get one of the chocolate boxes with chocolates inside.

Once you try a piece of these special chocolates, you will want one each and every day! Brothers Bob and Fred Piron create their magical delights in their always pristine Chocolatier Artist Studio immediately behind their shining showroom shop. Bob traveled back to Belgium, homeland of their parents, to be trained as a Chocolatier by Masters. Treat yourself to their treasures--dark or milk, solid, cream, nut, or caramel filled smoothly pleasing wonders of Callebaut Chocolate. You'll want to visit the Piron family again and again!

Savoring Chicago

The minute you walk into this charming small European-style shop, the aroma of fresh chocolate wafting from the kitchen in back beckons you to ogle the beautiful assortments of chocolates stacked neatly on small gold-ruffled trays displayed in two cases. There are beautiful marbleized Fruits de Mer in the shape of sea shells, prawns, and escargot filled with a divine chocolate hazelnut praline. The Pate de Noisette are exquisite chocolate diamonds filled with a blend of milk chocolate and hazelnut praline laced with diced pecans. Insanely good chocolate Marzipan rectangles so hard to find are decorated with fine white stripes. Unsweetened cocoa dusts the very popular truffle made with a milk chocolate cream center dipped in semisweet chocolate. A perfect chocolate rosette coiffs the Grand Marnier semisweet chocolate cup.
