Ive been eyeing this place for a couple of years and finally had the chance to go! Its such a cute shop. European feels. The chocolates are fresh tasting and they have a huge variety of flavors. The lady was super nice and helped me arrange the perfect box for my friend. Next time Ill go for some coffee with a side of chocolate, cant wait for normal indoor dining again!

This chocolaterie is a true gem! Drove past it looking for parking to take my daughter and her friend to another restaurant close by. We decided to go there for dessert. Pleasantly surprised to see such a beautiful interior. It reminded me of chocolate shops we visited in Paris. As we selected our chocolates the lady working there was very nice and patient with the children. The chocolates are beautiful and taste amazing! We look forward to our next visit.

As a chocolate adventurer, I’m always on the lookout for quality dark chocolate. I recently visited Chocolaterie Stam, and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was welcoming and a great environment to enjoy some gelato while getting some work done. I also bought some dark chocolate carmels and dark chocolate raspberry treats to take home - they were delicious well-made chocolate. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful about their products. I look forward to trying their cocoa and dark chocolate chips, as well. I’ve already recommended them to a few friends and I’m planning to make this a meeting spot - they do have coffee drinks.

Their Gelato is delicious, with flavors rotating. I ordered the tangerine this time but my favorite has been the grapefruit. I also love the different licorice they have.

Love this neighborhood gem! Friendly staff serve up delicious Gelato. Of course the store offers a large variety of chocolates. My favorites are the Dark Chocolate Covered Apricots and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Hearts! Delicious....

Really cute shop and beautiful chocolates. I was very excited to try them all… I ordered an assortment probably about 10 different flavors. Super underwhelming and disappointing. Will not be back.

Downtown Glen Ellyn already has some amazing shops, and now a new chocolate and coffee shop?! Yes please. We had the dark chocolate Gelato (super rich, my 6yr old loved it!) and I got myself a cafe latte. The owner was helping us, and shes super friendly and showed us all the shop has to offer. We will definitely be coming back, especially since this is 10mins away and my other favorite chocolate shop is in 45mins away.

They have really good hot chocolate and youre able to get it with a flavor (peppermint, vanilla, hazelnut, coconut, etc.)

European treats, this side of the pond! Chocolaterie Stam, with origins in Amsterdam since 1913, arrived in Glen Ellyn just east of the post office at 530 Pennsylvania Ave. In 1993, President Ton Stam ventured from Amsterdam to Des Moines for financial services, but then in 1997 instead opened the main U.S. location of his family’s chocolate business in Iowa, first initiated from a mall kiosk. (Rochester, MN has chocolate in a mall location, but their main location on Ingersoll in Des Moines near Drake Univ. and Glen Ellyn both have cozy places for this Hawkeye to sit and savor.)Chocolate is shipped in from Amsterdam, and then special creations are made in Des Moines and sent to their few Midwest shops, notably to me in Glen Ellyn. (We lived in Wheaton for 22 years, and whenever I am in town, I always enjoy Stam!)Owner Liz Mager continues the rich Stam history at their Glen Ellyn location. Appreciate sitting with friends in their comfy chairs with Stams signature eggplant-colored decor to visit and enjoy special treats. Love their chocolate, coffee, gelato (yummy cherry cheesecake), my fave mocha sticks, dark chocolate coconut bon bons, and licorice in a very European-style atmosphere.Its all quality, from the chocolate to their unique boxes. They ship all over the U.S., too. (I know firsthand). I dont work for them, but I do love their goodies! Well worth a visit there (and even an extra trip to the gym).

Very cute shop! The chocolates and truffles are delicious (and adorable), but they also sell good gelato and coffee. Lots of selection with seasonal items as well. It is a bit pricey though. If youre willing to splurge on yummies, then check this place out.

What a great little gem in downtown Glen Ellyn. My family and I have already been in here 4 or 5 times. Gelato is one of a kind and the chocolate is better than anything else youll find in town. Fanny Mae? Forget it. Atmosphere so classy and delightful. Staff is friendly and helpful. Dont miss it!

We ran into them the week they opened. Now after over a dozen visits and several pounds later......we are hooked (lol) High Quality chocolate, of course, but the fillings and presentations of the choices are varied and delicious. The ginger cubes, lemon and orange peels are real sleepers. Support your local businesses!

I walked into this shop thinking I would have a nice little experience picking out some gelato. I was terribly wrong. The manager and her son were incredibly rude and dismissive. There was even multiple little HAIRS in my gelato -- what I assumed were from the boy who wasnt wearing a hair net when he scooped it for me. On top of it all, I got a very small quantity for a ridiculously high price. This place will be another Glen Ellyn store flop.

As you enter this beautiful space you are warmly greeted with Welcome to Chocolaterie Stam. The shop is beautiful and an accurate replica of a European chocolate shop or bakery. Their gelato is made on premises and has a large selection of flavors. The staff are very willing to let you sample tastes with real silver teaspoons. You are encouraged to sample and the staff is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.The dutch chocolate is to die for! The bon bons are decadent and delicious. The staff is also welcoming with samples of chocolate too.It is a fun atmosphere with upbeat music playing- oldies and big band...I enjoyed a cup of gelato and a few bon bons with a friend and felt like I had been swept away to another time and place. Well done!
