A really great place to treat yourself or others. Huge selection of local and international chocolates, with a few other sweets like marzipan. Store is packed with items, so the selection is huge and probably has something for everyone, but the displays can be overwhelming. A good range of prices from 55¢ single serving squares to $75+ boxes of artisanal chocolates. Choices include imported chocolates from Belgium, Iceland, Great Britain, Australia and more. Local favorites include Lux brand, the black fig and pistachio is one of my favorites. Good place for small gifts or trying different flavors and styles, though prices tend to run high for full sized bars. read more

I have to say, it does really take the fun out of getting a treat, like great chocolate, when the staff is so grouchy. I called in an order and the person had no warmth in their voice at all. I hate giving business to people who don't act like they genuinly care about their customers. read more

Good selection of chocolate. I was hoping there would be something local and unique to Pittsburgh or even something homemade, but they had stuff I could easily find at Trader Joe's and snooty grocery stores. Even their famous hot chocolate was E.G. Guittard, a California brand. They did have a nice selection of Dutch goodies like speculaas and dutch cocoa. read more

Chocolate heaven! I've been coming to the strip for years, but only wandered into this amazing establishment about 6 months ago. All kinds and every kind of wonderful chocolate - all kinds of dark, chocolate made with whiskey (ask for their Wigle whiskey truffles - they're my husbands favorite!), mixtures of spice and mint, caramel and florals (Lavender chocolate is next on my list!). What a great place! read more

If I'm in the Strip, it's a must stop shop. Great for gifts or personal indulgence, but be careful- the atmosphere and merchandise arrangement will encourage you to spend more than you intend. It's not over-priced, just quality merchandise artfully arranged that can make a chocaholic like myself cringe at the bottom line of the receipt ;) but yum! read more

Good chocolate, but grossly overpriced, even if you compare the same brands. Go to the Chocolate Moose in Squirrel Hill or Shadyside instead. read more

I am so glad this place exists! When I need a special gift or something to cheer up a discerning, hard-to-please friend, I stop here. Whether it's things you remember from childhood, like Teaberry gum, or your semester abroad, like everything Cadbury and Kinder chocolate and Ritter Sport, or something totally different, like chocolate with chipotle or wasabi or bacon (!!!) inside, this place seems to have something for everyone. Love! read more

Minus one star because the price seemed excessive despite the quality. As a certified chocoholic I was a little bit overwhelmed to have all the finest chocolates of the world in front of me. But then I noticed a cadbury crunchie- my favorite candy from a semester abroad in London that I have found difficult to find in the US. I was SO happy! I highly recommend the gelato. I got the dark chocolate and it was as good as gelato from Italy. The chocolate flavor was so deep and intense! read more

Chocolate + chocolate + gelato = Mon Aimee. Don't go out of your way to find it, but if you happen to be visiting Pittsburgh, and are down in the strip district, check it out. We didn't buy anything but it was fun to shop and look around. Some reviews already talk about the price...I guess they have to charge more than the average price of a Hershey product to pay the rent, so it was expected that the prices would be of a boutique sweet shop. All in all, the Mon is a neat little place. We are fans and recommend stopping by if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I've yet to walk out of Mon Aimee empty handed. It can be a pricey endeavor, because a lot of the goods are imported from Europe (a few from SE Asia as well), or are of the artisan variety. But, you will always find something tasty, unique, and fun. Beer flavored Jelly Beans? Gourmet Marshmallows? Dutch stroopwafels? All here, my friends. Stop in and treat yo' self. Just be mindful that there is a minimum for credit card purchases...it's not hard to hit that number, though. read more

Wow- it's been a long time since I stopped into a sweets store with this much diversity. A friend wanted to spend a couple of minutes in here, and I quickly noticed how dangerous of a place this could be for me. Mostly chocolates, but other interesting sweets (i.e., pistachio flavored marshmallows), I continued to be surprised and how creative people have gotten with flavors. I tried some of the Irish whiskey flavored chocolate, which I have to say was pretty amazing. Although I don't think I have an intense sweet tooth compared to others, no one will be able to deny walking into this place to try something great. read more

I can only review the nonpareils and truffle sampler. The nonpareils are very low quality dark chocolate and for 14.00 per pound definitely not worth it. The truffles had two salted, one of which was milk chocolate. They were so salty that the chocolate flavor did not come through. I have to assume that the chocolate with name brand wrappers are better than the ones they make in house. read more

Oh my! Oh my oh my oh my! On the variety alone, the amount of stars I could give is infinite. Great location in the Strip (BUT WHY SO FAR AWAY FROM ME ALL THE TIME), great hours, and I guess I know a different owner than everyone else, because Amy is the greatest. read more

This was the first gourmet chocolate shop I went into and I spent a lot of time here debating what to buy - considering the chocolate melting during the bus ride, what I actually want to eat, etc. It was difficult choosing and I finally ended up with mik chocolate covered pretzels, a hazelnut chocolate bar and one milk chocolate and one dark chocolate Guittard bar. I really wish I bought more, but everything in the store was on the pricier side and I really didn't see anything else I liked. This is definitely a good place to visit when in Pittsburgh. read more

The owner and her parents are delightful, helpful and kind. I often stop in here for a little treat or blast from the past. I grew up in England and love that I can buy chocolates that I loved as a child. If you need a recommendation or a gift, they are always willing to help you choose something or put together a little gift basket within your price range. read more

The selection is pretty vast -- European, upscale specialty brands (up to $24 for a 3 oz bar!), bulk malt balls in 3 flavors that are wonderful, house-brand hot chocolate mix, and lots more. It's fun just to browse around and know all these choices exist. read more

Best assortment of chocolate I have ever seen! The hot chocolate bar is a dream come true - I love this place!

In terms of having lots of chocolate varieties and being a fun store to explore, I'd give it 5 stars. I had a lot of fun exploring this store. The prices are a bit too much, especially when I can get some of the same brands at World Market for less, so I'd knock my rating to 4 stars. I ended up buying several of the small sample sizes so as to be able to try more for my money. However, one of the employees was so rude that I'm going with 3 stars. This particular worker walked around with a scowl on her face-not sure why, how can you be that upset while working in such a neat place? Later she was sitting on the ground trying to move some box under a cabinet and loudly saying "excuse me" repeatedly to a customer standing by the cabinet who was unaware of the employee on the ground. When the customer finally realized she was the one being spoken to she apologized, but this said employee just moved the box and walked away. My husband and I were visiting from out of state and I was exploring the area during his job interview. Since he wasn't able to be there with me I wanted to take a picture to show him this store. I also wanted to send it to a friend who is moving to the area soon. I had already made my purchase and was standing by the front door with my camera. This same employee yelled rather rudely from the back of the store that no pictures were allowed. Maybe people have stolen their business idea based on pictures taken of their store. I didn't realize it was such a secretive place. I had walked into the store so excited and walked out with a negative feeling. Thankfully the other two older woman working were very helpful and polite. read more

I stopped by Mon Aimee because they carry a chocolate hazelnut wafer (hanuta) that myself and a few friends enjoy. I decided to take a quick snap chat video of their other varieties to show some out of towners what they were missing out on. As soon as I opened the app a woman (very rudely) stopped me and insisted I put my phone away or leave. I understand they don't want any one to copy their style. However that is not what Pittsburgh is about. There is no room for 'snobs' like that in our city. This is just my experience. I have heard others say they were not very friendly which is very unfortunate because Pittsburgh is so welcoming. Grandpa Joe's and Sinful Sweets are great alternatives. read more

Apparently Mon Aimee is some sort of self serve, "stop n shop." I called inquiring about favors for an upcoming baby shower. I wanted to know what they had to offer for shower favors. I am out of state(though a native from Pgh), so I could not go to the shop. The woman that answered was so rude and clearly annoyed that I did not know exactly what I wanted, how many and wasnt giving her my credit card info. The only help she offered me was to GOOGLE baby shower candy bars. Really? this is the customer service being offered from a "gourmet" establishment?? I will be sure to share my experience with my friends and family from Pgh that suggested this place! I certainly did find out what Mon Aimee does have to offer. I have since looked into Edward Marc Chocolatier and Betsy Ann, both of which were nice AND helpful. Both also offer charity programs. I guess everything does happen for a reason, thanks Mon Aimee! read more

I've been to Mon Aimee probably a dozen times, and I've always found the service to be good and the selection to be fantastic. It's not just a chocolate shop - it's a sweet shop that focuses on chocolate. They have a variety of imported sweets, along with high-end chocolates, truffles, hot chocolate, and even some Pittsburgh-themed items. The only real problem is that they let the sunlight pour into the shop, directly onto the products near the windows. I always avoid buying anything from that part of the store. read more

Best chocolate store!!! Big selection of dark chocolate from all over the world. Some pricey but so worth the splurge. They are located in the Strip District of Pittsburgh. read more

Aside from having an incredible assortment of chocolates, they make the best spicy hot chocolate EVER! You have to ask them to make it, but it is delicious...yum! read more

This place is like heaven if you love chocolate. The have chocolates from all over the world, so if you miss those Ritter Sports from that time you studied abroad...this is the place to go. They also carry Vosges chocolate bars. Once upon a time they used to carry Vosges truffles...like the Black Pearl (my fave!) and they stopped. :( Still awesome though. read more

Amazing right from the door. I was treted like ive been there 100 times before They wknew where everything was in their store and believe me there is alot to choose from. I recommend this store to anyone especially chili heads looking for some spicy chocolate. read more

As I was purchasing $94 in chocolate bars I asked whether they stocked the great chocolate brand: Madecasse. The owner said that I should go to Whole Foods to buy it, because she can't make enough money and her air conditioning bill is high. We like to support local businesses, and hope that this one is soon replaced by another. Until then will order directly from http://www.madecasse.com/ read more
