I'm glad I visited as the chocolate is excellent. This tiny store is filled with many different products, mostly chocolates. They have chocolate bonbons in so many awesome flavors including strawberry lemon, honey Taheen, mango passionfruit, espresso, dark chocolate orange, pecan praline, blueberry, carrot cake, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, dark chocolate coconut, dark chocolate raspberry, dark chocolate hazelnut, very berry, sea salt, caramel caramel, apple and yuzu lemon. Those were just today's flavors. There are others in rotation. They also have hot chocolate mixes including a spicy one, granola, jarred candies, candles, bath salts, and packaged chocolate bar pieces. Additionally, they have house-made pastries like chocolate chip cookies, scones, and macaroons. The store then brings in the outside with many plants and cacti and reading material. See my pictures! The very helpful single staffer was able to answer my questions and very friendly. Although I had only purchased one set of seconds, I opted to buy two more on the spot. The bonbons are usually $3 each and come in 3, 5, 10, 15, or 24 packs. When I got back I was highly anticipating the pieces. In one pack I got raspberry and lemon. I have yet to open the other two. What I tried was delicious and had to stop myself from eating them all. Very happy with Aurora Grace Chocolates.

Di Bruno Brothers is one of those Philadelphia places that makes me feel lucky to live in this…read morecity. The Rittenhouse location on Chestnut Street is truly gorgeous, with the polish and product selection of a great food hall you might find in London, Paris, or Milan. The cheese, prepared foods, and pantry goods have clearly been chosen by people with incredibly discerning taste. It feels sophisticated and worldly while remaining unmistakably Philadelphia. Part of the pleasure is simply walking around and seeing what they have. Beautiful imported products sit alongside house specialties, fresh food, and everyday things you can grab without turning the visit into a major production. The meat and seafood always look fantastic, although I have mostly admired them rather than bought them so far. Everything is presented with obvious care, and the staff feels genuinely passionate about food. What I especially appreciate is that I never feel pressure or guilt if I pass through and barely buy anything. Our family budget has been tighter lately, so there are plenty of visits where I browse, grab a coffee or something small, and keep moving. The staff is warm and helpful whether you buy one thing or multiple things, and nobody makes you feel insecure for spending modestly. That lack of judgment is a big part of why the place feels so special. More broadly, Di Bruno Bros. captures something I find especially appealing about Philadelphia. The city has the cultural confidence of a major East Coast center, with serious universities, design, food, and international influence, but it often feels less performative than larger global cities where money and taste can sometimes turn into ego. The people I find coolest are intensely discerning yet low-key, kind, and effortlessly grounded, and that is exactly how this store feels. It is chic without being pretentious, expert without being intimidating, and ambitious without losing its humanity. One little interaction here captured that spirit perfectly. I was looking at individual cans of beer when the Beer Man, standing at a table in front of the refrigerator, walked me through the lagers they had and helped me choose Reaper, which was great. He clearly knew the category, cared about what he was recommending, and made the whole exchange feel completely casual. That combination of expertise, passion, and zero attitude is exactly what I love about Di Bruno Bros. Ultimately, I think places like this are one of the great luxuries of city life. I have also been to the Di Bruno Bros. location near Jefferson, but this Chestnut Street store is the one closest to home, and I still want to try the restaurant upstairs someday. I fantasize about a future version of life where I can casually stop in for beautiful seafood, meat, and prepared food for family dinners without thinking too hard about the bill. Even now, I love having this gorgeous little food universe nearby and being able to enjoy it at whatever level makes sense that day.

I can't believe I slept on Di Bruno Bros for so long. The grocery aspect is wonderful, there are…read moredelectable, local cheeses, chips, meats. breads, cakes, sandwiches to go, and plenty of drinks to choose from. We walked in for a late lunch and were overwhelmed by all our options. There's also a butcher's shop if you want fresh meats, and a designated cafe section for beverages and pastries to go. I chose an eggplant sandwich, which was thinly sliced, breaded, and fried, with mozzarella, and artichokes. The sandwich itself was so filling. The chips and pickle were an added bonus. They heated it for us before we went upstairs to eat. There's a quieter section with more ambiance upstairs, so we enjoyed the ac while we ate. I came back a few days later for a strawberry shortcake, and it was worth the trip. I love cake, so the miniature options were appealing and practical. Most of the cakes range from $12-30..Which is not a bad price for how much you get!
