I didn’t ask about this store’s history or the mission of this place. I was legitimately distracted by the aroma of chocolate as I entered. There are cheery plants among displays of various chocolate bonbons and truffles. There’s a mini freezer with batch pints of ice cream. The open kitchen is stainless steel and marble study of chocolate making.
In short, the store is adorable. The chocolates look very sophisticated. Every size and combination of chocolate they make is would be a thoughtful and delicious gift.

I love this place! The main attraction are the bonbons but they also make other baked goods e.g. cookies, scones, chocolate bars. The bonbons are beautifully hand painted and they taste as good as they look. One of my favorite bonbons is the Thai Tea, but they are all fantastic flavors. I’m also in love with their cherry chocolate scone. The bonbons are a bit pricey at $3 a piece but I think it’s worth it. If you’re visiting South st this place is a must visit!

Updated: we ordered 3 gifts and the other two arrived with fast shipping in great condition. They were huge hits. We loved the illustrations with the beautiful chocolates. We will likely order again in the future. We just wish we had the hindsight to order my mom’s with ice!—we will next time (and would reorder her mother’s days gift if they weren’t sold out)
It was such a bummer that when my mom’s Mother’s Day gift was delivered all the chocolates were melted. Highly recommend choosing shipping with the optional ice pack to avoid this experience.

I’ve only had the gelato from here and it’s amazing! I walked here 20 minutes out of my way in the freezing cold only to find out the shop is closed. Please please update your google map hours so this doesn’t happen to other people. So disappointed 🙁

Received these as a gift and they are amazingly good – and even have delicious vegan options. Highly recommend. I’m craving more!

I absolutely love Aurora‘s bonbons! So many different flavors which melts in your mouth! The only downside is when they’re all gone! I love to order them for Christmas to put them in stockings. I also love to order them for birthdays. Keep making amazing chocolates, Aurora, you’re the bomb!

The bakes goods here are okay, they are pretty pricey for what you get. The service is the opposite of lovely and isn’t that great. They gave me a different cookie than what I asked for. The best thing about this place is that it’s cute. But I would go to other bakeries in the area before coming back here.

So charming, and delicious treats! This shop is a local gem. I was desperate trying to find a last minute gift for the vegan couple hosting me for the holiday. I was delighted to find this place, which has great hours, atmosphere, and owner. They had 5 vegan bon bon options (plus chocolate bark). I bought a pack of 10 bon bons, 1 of each flavor, including a special new flavor (chocolate peanut butter). I’m not personally vegan, but the cashier generously gave me a sample of the new vegan treat, and it was SO rich that, if I didn’t know it was vegan, I could have never guessed. I can’t recommend this place enough!

These hand painted bonbons are 100% worth the price. Very unique chocolate flavors like Strawberry Balsamic and Lavender Blueberry. Plus, I hate HATE marshmallows, yet I absolutely love their homemade marshmallows. Friendly and helpful people working there, they were so nice helping me pick out what to get!
