I have heard about this chocolate shop for about a decade, but as it is about 70 miles from my…read morehome, I had not been there. But on a recent Quilt shop hop, imagine my surprised to discover the Quilt store was two doors down from Stafford's. I think that was a sign that I had to go visit. The double sign was that the quilt shop gave away coupons during their event for one free piece of chocolate. So for my free piece of chocolate, I chose the red wine truffle. Oh my goodness, I had to close my eyes to savor it, the taste was that sensational! The shop itself is beautiful. It has tables inside so you can sit and enjoy their confections. All of the shelves are lined with all kinds of specialty chocolates. These include chocolate covered nuts, truffles, bars, Pops, and all kinds of delicious concoctions. You can order single pieces at the front counter for an individual choice and they will compose a box of your selections. They also had many, many packaged items ready to go on the shelves. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about their offerings. They were willing to explain the different flavors; the cost of a box of six individual truffles which you can select was $12.50. There's parking in front of the shop on the street and also behind. It's nestled in the Porterville downtown area with multiple Restaurants and eateries very close by. One could have a fun day window shopping, lunching out and then popping by Stafford's for a sweet treat and to buy gifts to take home. Absolutely not to be missed!

Love Stafford's chocolates and their drinks and staff. They have different unique flavored…read morechocolates for different seasons but the local favorites remain the same and stand the test of time. I know everyone love the red wine truffle, but my personal favorite is their lavender truffle. Did I forget to mention that they have sugar free chocolates too for diabetics. Those sugar free ones are the best in town. I wish they have an even larger selection of sugar free chocolates bc those are truly amazing They also sell drinks like the Portervillian ( a specialty latte), various matcha flavored drinks etc. and have a loyalty card for drinks only. I can't wait to find out what else is in store as the months go by. Sometimes I find a sourdough loaf of bread sitting on the counter for sale. Wish I bought it cuz it was only there for like a week.

Their bathrooms were clean and all. Customer service was good, we were greeted as we entered and were quick to get us out of there to enjoy our treat. The serving stations were clean and tidy not messy at all some places I've seen are messy and it gives it a bad view. Love that they had a cool candy section to go and some homemade stuff as well. All your cravings fulfilled in one spot. Cant wait to be back!

I was the only one there when I ordered but people who came after me got there food without hesitation. Even a man who ordered his food after I was waiting for 15 minutes had his food before me. And so I asked Rebeca "why did everyone get there food before me?" And all she would say is "Im sorry" "Im the only one here" but why were the five or six other customers served before me, the one who ordered first???? And I still don't know because she refused to say why so I am left to assume it had to do with something about me she didnt like. And I dont know that woman and have no idea why she would treat me that way.
