The Chocolate Goat Gift Shoppe

This is the cutest little store! My fiancé and I went walking around Lafayette one day just to get out and get some fresh air. I had never been in the store before, but many of my friends had suggested it. It looks like it was an old house, and the floors are amazing and crack as you walk! The had a nice selection of chocolate and I think some of them were imported. They also have a TON of cute and unique gift ideas. I loved how as soon as we walked in, we were greeted. The sales associates were all also very nice. They all said hello and asked if we needed help. I saw some reviewers saying that the people watch you. It was not that busy when we were there– some girls were cleaning. I think maybe they are just bored and seeing if you need help? I don’t know, but I did not get the «spy» vibe. The girl upstairs was really nice and took our things downstairs. They have really cute things. Their prices are a little high, if you compare them to department stores. However, it is a small shop, and this was totally what I expected. I would happily pay a little extra for the positive service I received. They also provided cute little boxes with bows for my gifts– for free! I will be returning again to do some holiday shopping!

Awesome assortment of interesting chocolates as well as fabulous imported hand crafted Belgium truffles and ganaches. This would be a great place to buy gifts as their chocolate are very nicely wrapped and pre-​wrapped assorted platters and boxes are readily available.
The kicker is that you walk in expecting to only find only chocolate but the shop expands into a nice boutique with jewelry, Vera Bradley items, assorted jams and maple syrup. There was also more upstairs but I didn’t venture up this time around. Definitely a fun stop if you are in the area.
Also good to note is that the shop is clean and well laid out so that there is plenty of room to walk around and browse.

This place actually has a few beautiful things. priced to match. The reason for the 2 stars? The customer service. I took my mother and sister there with my nephew who is 4. and the woman worker? Owner? Followed us around like we were going to steal something. It was so blatant that I almost put back the things I was purchasing. I then bought 30 dollars worth of the neuhaus chocolates that they have in the case (which btw the woman warned me were 2 dollars EACH) (I felt like saying. don’t worry I can afford it) .I don’t mind paying for quality. These chocolates tasted like they have been in that case for a LONG time. Not fresh. Not worth it. Each one of us spent between 50 and 100 dolllars… The woman following us? She was no where to be found while we were paying. not even a «thank you .have a nice day». I don’t think I will be back. Everything they sell can be found somewhere else. at a lower price. So. if your looking for a place to wander. and shop in peace… don’t go here.

We stopped by for a taste of the chocolate and were pleasantly surprised to find a really nice gift shop as well… The staff are really right there the whole time which some have referred to as a «looking over your shoulder» feeling, but I think they were just not busy and asked every few minutes if they could help us find anything. We purchased a couple of their famous solid chocolate goats as gifts and a few of the special Belgium chocolates and they were melt-​in-​your-​mouth delicious! The gifts were beautiful but were more a high end type gift shop, so I wasn’t really interested in them, but the chocolate is amazing!

As diner nut s. Said … She is right about this… the girl came up and took the items off my hands and said let me hold it downstairs when there was an older lady with more items in her hands. They single you out if you are not white!!!
I told one of the ladies in the front and she did apology for what had happen which was ok but I will not be returning to this store, items are over price and nothing is handmade you can buy most of the products they sell online cheaper and avoidance of bad customer service. Shame on you chocolate goat it’s 2015 !!

Boutique type gifts in an old farmhouse with tons of rooms and endless useless «stuff». I thought it was a chocolate shop but that part only takes up one room and most of the stuff is the kind of candy you can get at any store only here it is repackaged, tied up with a bow and 3 times the price. Not my thing.

Great Shop! They have so many cute items for purchase. Chocolate, tea, jewelry galore, bath products, Vera Bradely crap, kitchen stuff, etc. The prices were like any other boutique shop $$. I thought the employees were really nice too!

Great store! went in for the first time this week, and I was totally pleasantly surprised. Given that there is a very tacky store in Pike County PA that bills itself as modeled after the Chocolate Goat, I did not have high hopes for the store in NJ, but I was totally wrong. This is the real deal. Cute gifts, wonderful staff. Exact opposite of the place that is trying to ride on their coattails in PA.
Will be back again soon!

The perfect gift shoppe for ladies. They have two things: chocolate and designer hand bags. I was cruising around Sussex county looking for interesting things when I came across the Chocolate Goat, and with a name like that I had to stop by. I bought some delicious goat-​shaped chocolate and liquorice. Courteous staff.
The building looks like a 18^th or 18^th century stone mill, and there’s an assortment of goat sculptures outside. So unique I had to take some photos. There’s a neat stone-​walled stream that runs behind the store as well. Bring your camera.
