How did I ALMOST forget about this place?? I've always known that Bella Sophia is here and I've rarely been by lately. My sister was visiting from out of town so she needed gifts to bring back to her coworkers. I suggested a pit stop to Bella Sophia since we were walking by there anyway. She grabbed a nine piece box but then I realized she wouldn't get to try one. So I told her to pick one for herself and I got a Dubai chocolate bar for me. SO WELL MADE. $9 of heaven split three ways and it was perfect. read more

My boyfriend and I randomly stumbled upon this place while heading to Tanners, and we're so glad we did! The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the most amazing aroma of fresh, handcrafted chocolate. The shop itself is beautifully set up, with each chocolate piece displayed like a tiny work of art. Jim, the owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. He took the time to share how he and his wife craft the chocolates, and it was so fascinating to hear about the love and care that goes into every piece. We tried the Cookie Butter (Frog), Dulce De Leche, Raspberry Ganache, and Lemon Ganache. Each one was a 10/10! Perfect texture, rich flavor, and such unique combinations. We're already looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Beautiful storefront, even friendlier company behind the counter. Chocolates are handpainted and they're packaged beautifully! Literally artwork chocolate. Learned their chocolates are water-based with no creams. Read: no fillers. Pure, decadent chocolate. Perfect for a self treat or an elegant gift. read more

Came in search of chocolates on Valentine's Day (of course) - wanted to treat myself and had a great experience!! Family owned by a husband and wife team and named after their daughter - so sweet! And their chocolates truly are beautiful works of art - almost too pretty to eat! They have tons of bon bons in all different flavors - strawberry ganache, creme brûlée, salted caramel, raspberry, coconut - you name it! All of them look like paintings...and others are shaped like intricate turtles, dogs, seashells, airplanes, and even a giant stiletto heel! Truly impressive creations! They taste as lovely as they look - we tried the strawberry ganache, creme brûlée, raspberry, coconut, and speculaas - all were wonderful but the coconut was my fave - the filling is so flavorful and super creamy with small bits of coconut and the chocolate is smooth with a slight crisp quality to the outer shell - bellissimo!! Their chocolates are on the pricey side but the quality is truly there and they are all little works of art. They've won tons of awards - very well deserved - AND they were even featured at the Grammy's one year....so I expected the prices. But they validate your parking so it's worth it haha!! And they're so nice - I met one of the owners and he was most delightful- excellent service- so friendly and obviously loves the business. You'll find them in the Salon Republic in the Pacific City Mall. There's lots of parking along the sides and also in the below ground garage for a fee - but they validate. The store itself is cozy, clean, and very inviting. I had a great time visiting and will definitely be back for more of those coconut bon bons! Tysm! read more

Been a long time fan of Bella Sophia chocolates since they first popped up in Pacific City and so happy they made their Yelp page so I can write my review on the BEST specialty chocolate shop in OC! Food: 5/5 - Small Chocolate Mixed Gift Box ($19) In light on this holiday season: Incoming gift givers, I know sometimes that finding the perfect item to give can be so hard to find. But whether it be your physician mentor or your significant other, you cannot go wrong with a custom picked box from Bella Sophia. I've gotten boxes almost every holiday and graduation season and the beautifully crafted and deliciously made chocolates have always been such a hit! Some personal favorites - Sea Salt Milk Chocolate (Turtles, Eggs) - Crème Brûlée Truffle - Amarena Wild Cherry - Three Berries Service: 5/5 All my experiences have been so delightful! During my most recent visit, one of the workers Nick was so helpful when selecting my choices, especially when I was planning to give chocolates to someone with a significant peanut allergy. He helped me choose chocolates that didn't overlap in flavors and was able to wrap my gifts up wonderfully in a nice red box and gift bag. Definitely will be returning! read more

I went in looking for a gift for my father in law. He loves dark chocolate. The gentleman that is the owner was so nice and helped me pick a perfect bar. I was on a time crunch and he was super nice. I also bought two other chocolates to try, and WOW they were so good. The churro one and the Carmel truffle I believe were so delicious. I love that they are small batch and his wife is the artist that paints on the chocolates. They are so beautiful and so talented. I definitely would be coming back. read more

Bella Sophia immediately caught my attention as we were walking through the food hall section of Pacific City Mall. Beautifully designed chocolates that look like tiny works of art. https://bit.ly/3EVytKC Mango Ganache has a good balance between the dark chocolate mini-cup filled with the perfect amount of tropical fruit. There's a surprise crunch in there that I don't quite know what it was but I liked it. Gianduja with Ghost Pepper Salt was so many yummy things happening in my mouth! The decadent chocolate, the taste of hazelnut, the hint of spicy, and a slightly salty finish. This was one of those truffles that wowed me! I would get this again! Speculaas is simply gorgeous to look at! It's a teal, purple, gold, glittery streaks. Biting into the dark chocolate shell, a gooey cookie butter oozes out and it's so delightful! Some chocolates are labeled as vegan but we got lucky speaking to one of the friendly shop owners and he pointed out additional vegan truffles. Totally worth making a stop here for delicious treats! I think I found my new favorite chocolatier! read more

Really cute shop located in the mini-food hall located at the east end of Pacific City. I was helped by a cheery gal named Bella (not the store's namesake lol) who was incredibly patient and helpful. Each chocolate is individually packaged and they run $3.75+ apiece. It sounds pricey, but the chocolates are like little pieces of delicious art. There are many cute and beautifully crafted ones that are almost too lovely to eat, but I wanted to buy a selection of chocolates as a "wow" gift so these were perfect. read more

Omg! If you're ever in Huntington Beach, you have to stop off to this one of a kind amazing chocolate shop. The talent they have is undescribable. Their chocolate chip cookies are the best I've ever had. We were leaving Huntington Beach to go back to Vegas and they were sold out of cookies. They actually made a special batch today for us so we can take it home. You don't find customer service like this anywhere any longer. I highly recommend them. read more

I was looking for a gift for my sister who was visiting and found this gem. What separates this chocolate shop from the other ones I have been to are 2 things: more variety of different flavor mixtures and the chocolate just look more beautiful. They still have the standard flavors that are usually found in other shops like caramel, dark and milk chocolate, cappuccino, etc. but they also have some fun ones like banana ganache, three berries, matcha raspberry, etc. The packaging was perfect for the gift and the guy helping us out was really nice. I think he might've been the owner. Great experience! read more

It's been a while since coming to HB Pacific City, so I am so happy I found Bella Sophia Chocolates while walking around. I have the worst sweet tooth, especially for chocolate, so I had to stop in to check it out. There were so many different types of chocolates in the glass, and they all looked so beautiful. The nice gentleman who was the owner told us that him and his wife hand make the chocolates themselves which is amazing. You can really tell his passion for chocolate. I bought their award winning dark chocolate truffle as well as their Dubai pistachio chocolate bar. When I tell you this was all devoured in less than 5 minutes, I'm not joking. These were incredible. Best chocolate I've ever had!! I need to go on a diet for a wedding but I would literally eat this every day cuz it is so worth it LOL! read more

I was spending the day with my Father and his wife, who live in the area, and we decided to walk around this outdoor mall bordering the coastline. The area was filled with shops and eateries. One of the placed we walked into and caught our eye was Bella Sophia Chocolates. So glad we walked in. We spoke to a gentleman behind the counter that explained the business and that it was owned by himself and his wife and that everything is handmade. The store was elegantly arranged and the customer service was fabulous! There were all kinds of specialized chocolates / treats. We decided to try a Churro Truffle - I am not a fan of truffles but this was AMAZING!!!! If you are in the area, then you have to stop in and give it a try!!! read more

So delicious! These chocolates were amazing. If you love good quality chocolate this place will make your heart happy. The whole experience was special, the vibe of the place was very beautiful and clean. I loved how they packaged our chocolates individually, we felt very welcomed here and left very happy. I would recommend pairing the chocolates with some wine to clean your palette as each chocolate has their own unique flavor. Def recommend: churro chocolate, hazelnut, salted butter pecan, and the dark chocolate truffle! read more

Happened upon this chocolate shop while walking from the Waterfront Resort. Their chocolates were amazing. I wish I had taken pictures of all the truffles I bought but they were devoured before I could take pictures. They all looked like jewels. I've travelled all over the world and have had the best chocolates from all over Europe. This little shop is a real gem and very comparable to chocolatiers in Paris. The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. read more

This review coming from a certified chocoholic. I've even got a chocolate molecule tattoo. Bella Sophia chocolates in my opinion, are the best chocolates I've ever had. Their dark and milk chocolates are super smooth and decadent. All of the flavors are very prominent. I've purchased from other chocolatiers and you really can't tell one flavor from the other. For example one of my favorites is the Lemon raspberry cup. You really taste the lemon and raspberry! Some of my other favorites are the whiskey bonbon, coffee, the adorable tiramisu cup, they're sipping chocolate which is to die for but generally available during cooler months, all of the fruit style chocolates are to die for and I just had this amazing salted caramel filled cone that I could have eaten hundreds of. I also always purchase the chocolate dipped orange slices and mango slices. There are way too many flavors to list that are my favorites. Each piece is lovingly made. I'm so in love with this place I visit every week. They also carry a line of products that are hard to find and incredible. Namely, this cocoa infused maple syrup which I've purchased twice now. I highly recommend visiting Bella Sophia and trying a variety of their chocolates. This is also a great place to buy gifts for sweet addicted friends! read more

Beautiful chocolates, and tasty as well. Makes for a great gift too. Was helped by the owner and chocolatier and I could tell the care and pride he took in his product. Will def return if I am in the area again. Reasonably priced for what you get and the area. read more

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing chocolate place, every is jand made. You have to try the liquid chocolate, this wil blow you away. It's like hot chocolate but 100x better. You will never think the same way about hot chocolate. We tried others as well, like the ghost peppers chocolate, I like it cut it's spicy. The service is very friendly, run by husband and wife. The place is small, order and go but the smell of chocolate is yum.... read more

This place is amazing. We randomly stumbled upon this place while browsing around Pacific City. We were hesitant at first because sometimes things look super tasty and then it's like meh but this place seriously delivers. We can't buy too many at once or else we just sit there and eat all of them in one sitting. We've tried several different ones and they have just all been so tasty. I think our favorite one has to be the cookie butter/speculaas one but honestly, they're like all our favorites. What was really interesting too is the tiramisu cup has so much detail given to the little cup. Everyone we've ordered from has been super friendly and helpful. We will definitely continue to keep coming here and you should definitely try this place too!!!! read more

Thr absolute, hands down..BEST chocolate!! They are little morsels of happiness that make my toes dance when they're being devoured!
