My family and I have been going to Stafford's for over 30 years. Larry ran the company with integrity and passion, unfortunately when it was bought by a new family everything changed. I've tried supporting over the years and so has my family but this will be the last year. My boyfriend purchased a very special surprise gift for the holidays for me which was suppose to include 4 milk chocolate ooey gooey bars and a 24 piece of milk chocolate truffles. Those two items with shipping came out to $90. When the chocolates arrived they sent the wrong box of truffles. A mix of dark and milk. We immediately reached out and spoke with a manager named "Carolyn" who said she would resend a new box and that she packages them herself and must have made the mistake or we could have a refund. We opted for a refund that she couldn't do and said she'd call back later with the bookkeeper. No call. Next day called asked for the card number and said she'd call back. It's been days no refund and no call, we just reached out this morning only to be told she isn't available and they'd leave her the message. Now I'm upset, I'm having to chase down a refund from your product, you hand package after you ruined a surprise that was suppose to be sweet from my mom who passed away and now you don't even have the courtesy to keep your word on following up to make it right? It seemed odd to make a mistake of packaging the wrong chocolates when they're hand packaged and it's not a warehouse or large manufacturing error; but it makes sense now, you simply don't have any integrity. Being a business owner myself I would have immediately refunded and sent a new box, lose a little money to retain a lifelong customer, but clearly Stafford's can't package orders, get the bookkeeper and manager in the room at the same time, follow up with a customer or keep their word. The disappointment is heartbreaking, Stafford's brought so much joy to my family before my mom passed and having it during Christmas was more special than they realized. I hope their carelessness and lack of kindness changes not just for the business but as people because you're a chocolate shop, people come there for tradition and joy. They lost a a lifelong family of customers. I don't care if they refund any of the $90 at this point, they obviously need it more than we do.

I found this little gem while working! I was craving something sweet so I searched up bakery's and to my surprise Stafford's appeared. I grew up visiting porterville often and am now in porterville once a week for work..and I never knew this place existed! I'm so happy I stumbled upon it! I bought A LOT of goodies maybe more then I should have..I mean this is probably why pregnant women should not go into these types of places hungry. LOL My first impression was wow this place is so cute! The inside is very cute and had a ton of wonderful options on every shelf. I had no idea what to get. So I just started grabbing things that looked appealing...again I'll blame that on my growing baby. ;) I also asked the young lady working what her favorite thing was and she mentioned the OOEY GOOEY BARS this magical bar has been on my mind since the last bite I had! It literally taste like an ice cream sandwich without the ice cream..it was absolutely delicious! I also had the California moon pie, s'mores and some yummy cookies they had. All were amazing! I also had a latte which was good, and got a 1/2 pound of SF chocolates for my dad they were kinda pricey, but I wanted to give them a try. This is a great place to pick up some goodies, and it looks like they are always stocked up with fun stuff during each holiday. I will def be stopping by more often now that I know this page exist.

Patio area in the front of store has a seasonal window display.

This place has the absolute best chocolates anywhere. They have seasonal decor and great background music. They not only have chocolates but you can buy local items too. The staff is fantastic. They treat you like old friends. It's one of our favorite local spots.

Great coffee and great chocolates at Stafford's Chocolates. The customer service is excellent as well as the atmosphere.

Beautiful mural from 2004, hard to capture the entire mural it's the size of the entire building.

Who doesn't love chocolate?! We love chocolate and coffee. This place is amazing and chocolate is made here locally and in the back of the store. This beautiful locale is nestled in the heart of downtown Porterville, the smell of chocolate is intoxicating. They serve a variety coffee options, we loved their PorterVillian coffee made with oat milk; incredible coffee, one of the best cups I have ever tasted. The staff here are amazing, and make sure you are happy with your purchase. They even provide great suggestions in case your stuck. We loved how they renovated a historic location and are welcoming a new generation of patrons to this amazing establishment. If you love chocolate and coffee, you MUST stop here.

I had a hot mocha coffee and a warm cinnamon roll

If you haven't been here, you ABSOLUTELY need to come. I loved this place. The staff was helpful and friendly. There's chairs and tables to sit at. Also, there's comfy couches to take a load off and just enjoy your drink and or dessert with friends or a date. I definitely will be returning!

S'mores

Definitely a must visit shop. The best local made chocolates, deserts and pastries. Delicious coffee drinks and a very cozy shop. We love to purchase our dark chocolate bars and individual chocolates. The kids love all the specialty chocolates for holidays. The s'mores are amazing. You need to try them out. The staff and owners are super friendly.

I've always heard of this place and seen the commercials but being out in Porterville didn't make checking this lovely establishment easy, but I'm glad I did. As a novice chocolates connoisseur and part time cookie baker, I found this hidden gem a welcome relief to all the mas produced chocolate products you find at a regular store. They have a wide selection of chocolate products and even a coffee bar with various hot and cold drinks. My favorite part is they sell chocolate chips for five bucks a baggie, perfect for cookies or just munching straight out of the bag. They have some amazing and tasty chocolate bars as well and feature some local products from other vendors. This place is a bit of hump, but totally worth it. Porterville and the surrounding area has some unique and delicious destinations. Make a day out of it, hit up some local spots and come here for a delicious drink and some tasty chocolates on the side. It will have you coming back for more!

It is fantastic that a town like Porterville in the central valley can have a a store that produces delicious gourmet chocolates. My only suggestion would be that they need to set it up when you buy boxes of truffles to know which one is which.
