SWEET TREATS ON THIRD STREET Nestled on the historic and picturesque South 3rd street in Geneva is the sweetest place! Graham’s Fine Chocolates & Ice Cream is so much more than just a place to stop for velvety milk chocolate sea salt caramels, nutty buttery toffee or cookie dough ice cream. It is a special place that families gather to make memories like the Byrne family. It’s a place that young people learn responsibility and gain experience from a job like Krista Siler. It is a place that gives back to the community all the while making delicious chocolate treats. There are many sweet stories that start at Graham’s.
Graham’s opened in December 1987 when Bob Untiedt perfected his chocolate recipe. Using only the best ingredients including cocoa butter, and never skimping on quality, he quickly gained popularity. Bob chose Geneva because it’s a place rich in history and he named the confectionery after his Mother, Helen Graham. Now grown Beckie and Bob’s daughters Jayni and Maddi have gotten involved in all aspects of the business.
Graham’s offers a variety of sweet treats. Manager Debbie Molt has worked with Graham’s for over twenty one years and shared a few holiday favorites; heart shaped boxes filled with mint melt-a-ways, chocolates, truffles and hand dipped strawberries. Hand-decorated Oreos with hearts and caramel pops with love messages will make anyone smile.
Graham’s offers complete chocolate fondue sets, S’mores kits, hot chocolate tins and fresh marshmallows ready to enjoy at home. Apples dipped in their famous caramel, milk, dark and white chocolate are delightful! Everything is made right before your eyes. Grab a sundae and have a seat in front of the glass windows to watch the chocolatiers in action.
Graham’s truly is a favorite of many! Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns enjoys the milk chocolate peanut butter cups. Jennifer Kaye can’t resist the dark chocolate Skalies. One year old Sophia loves the strawberry ice cream and we just can’t get enough of the Ooey Goeys combining our three favorite ingredients caramel, marshmallow and milk chocolate. Although it will be hard to pick just one, stop by Graham’s and find your favorite
