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.

I discovered them from reading terminal in Philadelphia PA one random day wandering inside the food haul. It's a small confectionery shop all the way in the back, the name escapes. Anyway, they sell an assorted box of handmade chocolate bon bons and I purchased one box...needless to say I had one bite and returned the next day to purchase two more and to put my family on to it who also bought more boxes I can be pretty obsessive when I find something I like but hey, I have adult money now and who doesn't think chocolate worth it? Upon trying the box from reading terminal I had to visit the store front and I've been a few times now and planning on visiting again because they are just that fucking good!!! The chocolate they use is a very nice quality, the snap of the chocolate is satisfying and the flavors inside are decadent. Some of my favorites are Yuzu passion fruit, Vanilla, Mexican hot chocolate, strawberries and cream, caramel brownie and cookies and cream. Each element of the bon bon is made fresh and is beautifully decorated. True masterpieces and so delicious. The employees are bubbly and knowledgeable of the product. Since it is summer they do offer ice packs to keep your sweets from melting. The store is somewhat plain but that's not my focus and I can appreciate the simplicity because the bon bons are the real star here. Everything feels intentional from the packaging to offering ice packs to deciding each flavor. I already tell anyone who will listen about this place and I encourage you dear reader to take a trip to Good Good chocolates for a sweet treat, you deserve it! PRO TIPS; They do not ship during the summer time to preserve the quality and integrity of the products. There is no guide inside the box to detail the flavors but instead every box comes with a QR code that will direct you to their website and you can see the assorted bon bons there in case you forget what is inside. They do offer house flavors but will have limited addition or specialty flavors often. Bon bons are best eaten cold or slightly room temp for the best snap and taste. Happy eating!!!

I really love and enjoy their chocolate so I decided to go to their actual store. It is a very simple interior and you see the kitchen in the back where they are busy making various truffles, etc. The truffles are not cheap, but they are so good! The service is really friendly. If you want to splurge and support a local chocolatier I highly recommend this place.

This is a great shop for gifts/special occasions but also you can just by a little something by weight to eat immediately. The employees were extremely helpful. We got the hazelnut cluster and the almond butter crunch. Both were sweet, chocolatey, crunchy, delicious. We got 1 each but you can buy them in whatever quantity suits you. They didn't make it far past the door before they were devoured. The displays were very visually interesting, the product high quality, and there is obviously a lot of care that goes into the presentation. Glad I happened to wander by!

I browsed their website before visiting so I already knew what I was going to buy. The woman at the counter welcomed me and asked if I wanted to try a sample. The sample today was dark chocolate with vanilla buttercream and it was fantastic. I picked up a half pound of dark/milk orange creamsicle chocolates as a gift. They looked great in the display case and the entire store was set up beautifully. The employee rang me up and packaged the chocolates in a bag with tissue paper. Very thoughtful! I overheard another employee say they used to make their chocolates in house in the space right below the storefront but they've since moved to the former Goldenberg Peanut Chews factory to keep up with the demand. This is a great place to get Philadelphia themed chocolates if you're visiting, too. Prices are reasonable and they also sell non-chocolate items like gummies and jelly beans.

First of all, I had to get several of the retro postcards that they sell. The artwork is so charming I can't resist and I always feel like I have to share it with others. And it changes each season so you really can learn about greeting card history by looking at the cute details of the art and the postcard. Chloe was very kind and she knew the history behind a marshmallow caramel chocolate that they sell, especially at this confectionary. Another thing I like to pick up is one of their gingerbread cookies. They are hand pressed and I just feel so spoiled to get to enjoy this beautiful and very special cookie. Thank you all so much for all your hard work. You make such wonderful treats and are also a tour guide of your historical shop. You're historians on chocolate and this city. Thank you so much for all your hard work . Past , present and future ! How wonderful we can enjoy even to this day this beautiful building and see all the beautiful candies and chocolates and cards . And here are wonderful stories . 160 years of sweet treats. I'm really grateful that you carry on this lovely tradition. Thank you for everything. And thanks to your suppliers and vendors for all they do too. I had a wonderful time.
