Oh my goodness. Always a treat. Their hot fudge and caramel sauce is home made. So is the whipped cream. The place is always packed. Usually the line is outside the door. But the line moves fast. You have to make up your mind quickly. Service is good and the staff is helpful.

Great ice-cream/candy/chocolate shop! Small and cozy with a huge assortment of various chocolate-covered treats, fudge, ice-cream, shakes, and candy. Usually very busy, but the staff is super fast and friendly. They manage to move customers very efficiently and professionally. On top of that there is a cute garden with tables and chairs surrounded by flowers and trees - a perfect spot to eat your cold treat! We always stop by to get ice-cream and stock on gifts.

Deeeelicious! Always worth the trip from the Rockford area. Good selection of candies, chocolates, ice cream treats. Neat building too!

Don't ever change! Massive scoops of ice cream, jumbo frozen fruit with a generous layer of their perfectly rich and creamy chocolate, candy selection for days and a chocolate case that would make Willy Wonka drool, all hand-made, reasonably priced, and served by great staff!!! Please don't sell or change a thing. You've been my favorite for decades and I live over 700 miles away. In a world where so many businesses sell out, over charge, and generally suck- Thank you for being a generous and caring business! See you next time I'm in town!

If I could bottle up a smell and add it to this review, Riverside Chocolate Factory would get a million stars just for that alone. Step inside, and you’re instantly transported to chocolate paradise. Every inch of the store is packed with confections, many of them handmade and crafted right on site. And let me tell you: they do not hold back on the caramel or the chocolate. Everything is dipped, coated, and layered to perfection. Pure indulgence. They have an amazing selection of gift options for just about every occasion and holiday. Good luck picking just one—everything is tempting! Beyond the chocolates, they serve delicious ice cream, shakes, popcorn, and handmade fudge. My favorite is a banana shake, made with vanilla ice cream and a whole ripe banana—no fake syrups or extracts here. Just fresh, real ingredients. (Can you say potassiYUM?) It’s a great place to bring the kids for a special treat, too—their eyes light up the moment they step through the door. The staff are friendly and always serve you with a smile, even with summertime lines sometimes wrapping around the building! There is a nice outdoor garden seating area and plenty of parking, so it’s easy to relax and
