Lee Sims Chocolates

Amazing hidden gem in Journal Square. If you like sweets, you'll like this place!

There are certain consolation prizes for living in Jersey City. I know, impossible right? Seriously though, there are a few places in this area that are great and much cheaper than they would be anywhere else. Lee Sims is a great example of that. Down by McGinley Square, Lee Sims has been in business for decades and is still going strong. Walking into their stores you'll get blasted with aromatic chocolate. They have a wide variety of different options--bars, turtles, pretzels, etc.--as well as baskets and boxes. The owner will be there and there's a good chance she'll serve you. The quality level is great, especially compared to the pricing. What I paid in the village for a small box of chocolates (~$30) got me a basket full here, again with the chocolates being on par. If you live nearby, this has to be your go-to for all your chocolate needs. If you're going to live in Jersey City, might as well take advantage!

Delicious!! You can tell each chocolate is crafted with care. A wonderful treat for all!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! THE BEST CHOCOLATE IVE EVER TASTED BY FAR! MY BOYFRIEND BOUGHT THEM FOR ME AS A SIMPLE SURPRISE AND I AM ADDICTED! HOME MADE TASTE AND DELICUOUS NUTS, I WOULD RECOMEND TO EVERYONE FOR YEARS TO COME.

Delicious, homemade chocolates, candy, cookies and more. Their by the pound prices are reasonable to boot. Definitely try their chocolate covered strawberries when they have it. I prefer the dark chocolate. It's pretty small and get packed during holidays.
