Stopped in to try something new and exciting. I got two marshmallow caramel chocolates (one with milk, chocolate, one with dark chocolate) It was absolutely so wonderful! Service was absolutely delightful! Very helpful staff. And I must say that it really was a delight, seeing all the different themes of chocolates. Like they had cat shaped , lip , mustache , squirrel, and even Lady bug shaped chocolates. Quite variety! For grateful to the staff for all they do. Countless people helped bring this one piece of chocolate to my finger fingertips. From the cocoa farm , office workers that order all the products that are used to make the chocolates. I'm so grateful to you all. read more

Bring your platinum card because chocolate from Thomas Sweet is priced like liquid gold. Unbelievably, I've never darkened their door, perhaps because of their proximity to the Bent Spoon which is always an ice cream mob scene. The chocolate is fine and obviously of high quality but I'm just not desperately grasping for superlatives. I'd like to say that no visit to Palmer Square is complete unless you indulge your sweet tooth here but I've managed this long with no repercussions. Three stars. read more

The perfect stop for a sweet treat big or small when you are visiting Princeton! If I have somewhere to go after or I am visiting fam/friends, I will get a little box of a few different kinds of goodies. If it's just me, I stop in for a singular chocolate covered blueberry cluster or strawberry. There isn't any seating but they are right in Palmer Square. If it's nice out, take your chocolatey treat and plop in the Square for a snack and a rest. I loveeeee visiting Princeton and have loved Thomas Sweets since living across the street from their New Brunswick loc many moons ago, so this is always a stop. Pay them a visit and get the chocolate covered blueberries! Or just one of everything. read more

Prices are comparable to other speciality chocolate shops. Service was quick and shop was clean and stocked with a variety of different types of chocolate. read more

Thomas Sweet Chocolates was a pleasant stop during our Princeton visit. The storefront is very nice and the staff members are friendly and helpful. I am a huge truffle fan and go straight to them. However, I noticed that they have a large variety of chocolate items, in many forms. The truffles that I chose, raspberry and rum, were not only fabulous, but reasonably priced. That combination makes Thomas' highly recommended and I'll definitely be a return customer. read more

Took a quick pit stop in Princeton recently with my family. I was looking for interesting dessert ideas and saw Thomas Sweet Chocolates on Yelp. The shop is clean and bright, the woman working behind the counter was pleasant, and the gleaming cases filled with chocolate beckoned. My daughters made selections and I grabbed a few meltaways. My older daughter gave the chocolate covered strawberries a 10 out of 10. My younger daughter enjoyed chocolate covered pretzels and milk and dark chocolate pieces. I enjoyed the peanut butter, angry sea, and calm sea meltaways. The chocolate is high quality and the flavors are pronounced. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Thomas' Sweets has by far some of the best chocolates & fudge in the area. The shop is so brightly lit, clean, and the chocolates are presented so beautifully. Staff is always welcoming and helpful. There is such a large variety to choose from but my favorite are the clusters. They offer chocolate boxes, chocolate bars, chocolate moldings, and chocolate covered fruits. This place is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth craving. read more

Really glad that we came in this store for a treat. It's a cute store with unique and interesting candy and chocolates. We purchased a s'mores chocolate bar with tiny marshmallows and small pieces of graham crackers and a bag of hard candy. The hard candy was really good -full of flavor. The chocolate bar was smooth and creamy and just melts in your mouth! Like other specialty chocolatiers, the store is definitely pricey but there's nothing wrong with an occasional treat! read more

Thomas Sweet Chocolates - Candy Stores Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Cute chocolate shop to visit. We bought a few chocolate lollipops-- unfortunately they did not taste fresh. Choco covered pretzels were okay. Must be best to order a box by the pound, rather than the packaged items that could have been sitting there too long. read more

I purchased something that wasn't in the cabinet on the wall . It was chocolate salted almond. I tasted it and literally had to spit it out!! Have my daughter and father a piece and they spit it out! It was disgusting!! I've purchased chocolate from the case before and it's good. This was just horrible. read more

My dad and I made a stop at this chocolate shop during our visit to Princeton today. We bought some truffles (mix of chocolate, Nutella, raspberry) and they are absolutely delicious!! The store has a huge selection of chocolate goodies including chocolate shaped in different forms for different occasions as well as some large turkey chocolates for Thanksgiving. Definitely a place to check out. I will definitely make another stop next time I am in the area! read more

The chocolate was very good, especially the lemon truffle. The service was good and it was a cozy place to get a treat.

So, I only had dark chocolate almond bark here and bought a birthday mug. The chocolate was very good but not of OMG status. I thought the shop itself was very cute and offered a decent amount of selections but was overall, overpriced. I may give it another try. MAY. read more

I really do like this shop in an abstract way. But the reality lowers the score into 3 star range. I will state 2 major reasons for this. First is the price, this is Princeton and homemade, but almost $10 more a lb than comparable and possibly better shops I've visited. And second, no samples were offered even when we seriously inquired about one of their truffle flavors. If you have a product you are proud of and price it as high as they do, it might be a good idea to provide samples judiciously. I most likely would have purchased some of the aforementioned sweets had one of the employees who was more concerned with an ongoing conversation with another employee, offered just a slice of one. We also wanted to buy just a bite of homemade fudge to compliment a delicious brunch we just finished. We were informed that a quarter lb was the least they could sell. This would have been several servings, and more than we desired at this time. So we bought one piece of almond bark that was mediocre, and spent more on that than we would have for several Lindor truffles across the street. Shoppers may be interested in some of the chocolates shaped into many popular objects, nice gift items to be sure. I may return to see if I can eek out a sample of those truffles, if not it's probably no great loss. 3 put your money where my mouth is Yelps read more

Okay this was just outright yummy and fun. We went with a group and we all had blended ice cream. I had the sweet cream with cookies. It was delicious and soft and filled with Oreos. I will admit the add ins were unrecognizable once blended (so don't expected a DQ blizzard) but it was still very good. People seem to be dedicated to this place, coming in for ice cream cakes. Definitely stop by and try some! We may go to the Rutgers locations too since it's closer read more

I have never tasted chocolate as amazing as Thomas Sweets chocolate! My favorite is the dark chocolate covered strawberries. I will drive 30 minutes to get them. I always wait for Nicole to be available to help me. She knows exactly what I like. I may have to go and get some of wonderful chocolate dipped pretzels later! I will see you there. I will be the one with chocolate all over my face! #1 Fan! read more

I've had Thomas Sweet ice cream and chocolate before in their New Brunswick location, but it had been a while, since that was back in college. Now that I work in the area, if i'm craving something sweet, there are so many choices in town that Thomas Sweet becomes more of an after thought. But today, in one of those cravings, I decided to head over and check out their selection. They have a vast selection of chocolate pops in every shape, figure, character imaginable. The place smells of chocolate, and they have a wide range of chocolate confections. I decided on two pecan clusters and two chocolate covered graham crackers. Altogether, the pieces were 3.20- I was expecting that they would be more, but the price was good. All the chocolates were consumed within an hour- soooo good! Will have to return to get some chocolate for gifts in the future. read more

Stopped in to get my wife and daughter some chocolate for a take home gift. I have been getting plenty of hugs in appreciation ever since I got back. Chocolate covered Oreos were a big hit. Assorted milk chocolates were awesome. I snuck a few myself. Don't know if I will ever have a chance to stop here again, but I am glad I did at least once. read more

I'm a skeptic of expensive chocolate shops as hand made does not automatically equal good quality chocolate. However I've come to appreciate that Thomas Sweet chocolate is rather good. The selection is large with everything from soft centres, bars, truffles, fudge, barks, and caramels. The sea salted dark chocolate caramels are amazing. My husband loved his milk chocolate cashew bark. This is a great place to buy yourself a treat or a little dessert chocolate after dinner somewhere in Princeton (i think they are open until at least 9pm maybe later on weekends). Consider this 3.5 stars. read more

I don't know why it took me so long to stop in here, but am glad I did! Picked up a box of mixed truffles and fudge that I selected myself for a friend's birthday -- and have kept doing it since for other friends! It's the perfect little treat, especially when friends inevitably get sick of all the cake and baked goods they're showered with. I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable it is, and there are a great variety of flavors to choose from. Not the best chocolate I've ever had in my life, and errs on the sweet side, but I still keep going back! One of my gems/go-tos in Princeton for a pick-me-up for myself or friends. Service is great. read more

This is a quaint little chocolate shop located in Palmer Square with a wide assortment of chocolate confections including chocolate lollipops (great for kids!), bagged malt balls in a variety of flavors, elegantly pre-boxed chocolates, fudge, toffee, bark, nut clusters, creams, etc. Regarding customer service, I'd been here quite a bit and usually see the same three chocolatiers/sales people behind the counter. Two of the three have chilly dispositions. One is especially surly and ill-tempered. After making a purchase one day I quickly returned after realizing I needed to buy a second gift. The sales girl was visibly perturbed and she took my order in quite a huff. She clearly didn't seem to care that getting bitey with customers drives them away! I haven't been back much since that encounter... read more

The ladies working behind the counter were friendly and helpful, but I had to wait a while. I even had time to walk to my hotel, collect my bag, and return to find that they were *still* waiting on the same customer as when I had left. They were working very hard and efficiently; it's just a matter of not having enough hands during the holiday season. The shop is beautifully designed and I like that most of their candies are made onsite. This is a good place to buy gifts; they package their products with attractive, sophisticated presentation. My issue with Princeton is that most people seem stuck up, but the people working here were a breath of fresh air. I got a lovely smile and a welcome as I walked into the store. That's all it takes. read more

Always love stopping in to take a peak. However, I'm never too tempted to buy anything. Have tried a couple of their chocolates and none of them were too great. Their chocolate covered espresso beans were pretty bad actually. But their chocolates are really cute and their fruit gummies are worth trying. But for the price, this place isn't really worth it. read more

Nice small place with a good selection of chocolates & chocolate items. Service is friendly & efficient.

The service is fantastic the Chocolate is decorated so delicately and beautifully the holiday packages and boxes are gorgeous. I have so many favorites but one of them is the chocolate covered berries there so fresh everyday and my other is a salty sweet pretzel with dark chocolate but I will eat all of them there are equally good with new treats coming out almost weekly. I would drive the hour anytime for a sweet treat it's worth it. read more

Good selection of chocolates. Smells delicious when you walk inside. 2 chocolate covered strawberries and 1 pecan bark = $6. Didn't care much for the obnoxious sales girl. They don't sell ice cream at this location. read more

You can't go wrong with chocolate, but I far prefer to visit the New Brunswick location since there is a much larger variety of confections.

Only measure of a chocolate shop? Their dark chocolate truffle. This one is super choco-goodlicious. And I had a fair amount of the mint bark at the sample counter since no one else was around to stop me. read more

The peanut butter sandwiches are to die for! The people in the store are very friendly. In my opinion one of the better chocolate shops in the area. read more

Sweet staff, amazing handmade chocolates, great prices. A real gem. It's the perfect place for picking up a special gift, or just to stop by after dinner. read more

Your average fairly pricey chocolate boutique with aesthetically pleasing displays, some samples, and friendly but bored-looking staff. About as lukewarm about this spot as I am about their ice cream branch up the block. read more

A sweet little shop tucked into the corner of Palmer Square with a nice variety of excellent, high end chocolate that's worthy of any special or gift-giving occasion or as a treat to yourself. As a dark chocolate-lover, I definitely find it worth the price for the high quality. read more

I wanted to contact Thomas Sweets on Palmer Square in Princeton New Jersey via email or website directly however their website did not provide that information. My daughter bought some chocolates there and they were excellent. She noticed that they had the licorice allsorts available as well which I generally love. She bought me some. They were so stale that I could hardly eat them I could not even taste the black licorice. I was very disappointed and had to throw most of them away. read more

Great selection of ice creams to blend a la a Blizzard. Upside is the vast amount of choice. Downside was the long line and understaffed evening. Staff was friendly. read more

I was impressed by the store owner's immediate response to improve this store after my unpleasant experience a couple weeks ago. I will probably come back again. read more

I was recently at this Princeton (Palmer Square) NJ candy shop. The candy and fudge are excellent. I had chocolates shipped to my home; customer service was excellent. The shop manager (Lily) attended to all the details perfectly. read more
