This place is incredible. Exquisitely and adorably handmade decorated bon bons that make the perfect unique gift. And they are incredibly delicious! They also have amazing baked goods, homemade marshmallows of different flavors, and more. They offer free samples and are super friendly so definitely head on in and give them a try.

SPC is now open for breakfast 🎉 I just had their cafe moto cold brew paired with their fresh baked pastries (bacon chives scone - UNREAL). They even had my 3 year old try all their yummy chocolate. Honestly the best customer service we’ve experienced in a long time. This will be a new weekly regular for us!

I love this store. I went in to grab a Too Good 2 Go Surprise Bag, which by the way was fantastic, and I was mesmerized by the assortment of chocolate specialties available. My inner Peggy Bundy went crazy when I saw all of the different the bon bons. The Lady Bug bon bon melted on my tongue, and it consists of rich creamy caramel, milk chocolate, and Hawaiian Sea Salt. The Pistachio Kataifi Rose bar was delicious! I've never had any chocolate so decadent. The first free sample piece I tasted was the Ambrosia Bark. I knew the moment that it hit my taste buds I was going to love it. I also purchased the Passion Bark, Summer Bubble Toffee, Cherry Bomb Bark, a milk chocolate lollipop, a white chocolate lollipop, the 10th Retail Anniversary Limited Edition (9 pcs.) bons bons, and the Royal Hawaiian (9 pcs) Summer bon bons. I am so enamored with Sweet Petite Confections that I am now going to be a regular customer. Bravo Zulu for a job well done ladies!

This small family run shop has the best ice cream, chocolates, ice cream sandwiches, chocolate bark in many flavors, bonbons. We come here at least once every time we visit San Diego. Apart from gelato shops in Italy, we’ve not had better ice cream (and yes ice cream is different than gelato, I know). And the confections are better and fresher than boxed confections such as Sees and Godiva.

Sweet Petite Confections is a hidden gem in Clairemont! This small chocolate shop is easy to miss, but once you find it, you won’t forget it. Their specialty bonbons are incredible and the chocolate barks delicious—so creative with flavors that rotate every season and for special occasions like Valentine’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, and more. They also have staples like their decadent salted caramel truffles. My daughters love their fun chocolate lollipops, and they even have ice cream! It’s always such a treat to visit. We’ve also taken their chocolate-making class, which was a fantastic experience. They’ve been around for years, and I truly hope they’ll be here for many more. Highly recommend checking them out!
