Albert's Petite Sweets — Local services in Long Beach

I am ECSTATIC over Albert's Petite Sweets!

And so are the 110 guests we had over for a major event at our house.

Meeting Albert started off randomly enough... I have to thank Siri (!) for pulling up Albert's website when I asked for "chocolates near me." His was the second listing after See's Candies--!

I needed a huge order of custom handmade chocolates as boxed party gifts, plus another big batch of handmade chocolates for table grazing.

From the get-go, Albert was amazing to work with. This talented, cheerful, pleasant, creative and energetic chocolate wizard gave us multiple flavors and styles to choose from. Then we added a special request for custom handmade chocolate pyramids (The pyramid being our visual party theme).

Albert took the challenge right away, acquiring special molds for the chocolates -- and sharing the chocolate-making journey in pictures with us. In the end we opted for a mix of chocolates and his incredibly mind-blowing pate de fruit (fruit paste) Sweets... OMG! The flavors.

Every one of Albert's flavors bursts in the mouth, so many distinctive combinations including exotic fruits and playful retro throwbacks like passionfruit and Speculoos.

People descended on the table chocolates like locusts, they couldn't stop talking about how amazing everything was. And they loved the beautiful gift boxes that he made and filled.

Albert is an exceptional craftsman and every single bonbon was a work of art, not only to look at but in the mouth. Speculoos, coconut caramel, Ube, calamansi and espresso are just a few of the flavors...and his fruit pates--wow!!

All our guests agreed, Albert is the prince of chocolatiers and bonbonniers. Like a real Willy Wonka he makes the world taste good -- as good as they look, but even better.

We simply cannot thank Albert enough for the incredible job he did, the amazing details, the total dedication to creating art in candy, and his sweet and charming nature that made working with him an even greater joy during an otherwise challenging event preparation.

Although he works all over, we are lucky to have Albert nearby in downtown Long Beach where he works out of the Partake gourmet kitchens. You can buy his classic chocolates in the lobby display. So there's no need for a special order... Just get to Partake and got some for yourself! (And your loved ones...they will love...

Phenomenal experience!! Albert’s Petite Sweets was the first stop in our family trip, since we were heading north the next day. I called the number listed for the shop to see if it was opened after 7 pm, and spoke to Albert. Well, this sweetheart took time out of his evening to chat with my family and me! He gave us a tour of his facility, samples of his products, and even some treats for one son who has food allergies! He was so thoughtful, kind and generous! The chocolate and pate de fruits are some of the BEST I have ever had; so much love, passion, time and effort goes in to each delectable morsel! Thank you Albert, for kicking off our California trip, and making great memories with us!! Fan...

Omg. You have not lived until you have had alberts petite sweets. I’ll be honest i thought he was overpriced at first but after seeing how much goes into everything he served and tasting it for the first time it all made perfect sense. The bon bons are to die for and the pate de fruit assortment left my taste buds in bliss. Seriously people, savor each bite and allow yourself to hit each flavor note because you can truly taste the thoughtfulness of each ingredient. Coming from someone who’s understanding of fine chocolate was Ferraro rocher, these chocolates are on an entirely different level. There is something so special about it. This isn’t candy. This...
