Newtown Chocolatier — Restaurant in Newtown Township

Ive gotten chocolates here maybe a half dozen times. The quality of the chocolate itself is notably better than most chocolate shops. It's clearly not just generic chocolate purchased in bulk and reformed. It's incredibly rich and smooth, and it has no waxy texture to it.

The store front is a little on the small side, as are their options. I think I've only ever seen 1 coconut offering, and although still very good, it's a little light on coconut. The PB cups threw me off at first, because the filling is kind of thin... on par with just straight peanut butter. But I've grown to really like them now, much more so than Reese's. There are no sugar free options, which is unfortunate. I have to make a separate stop at another shop to get sugar free chocolate for my diabetic mother.

The ladies working the store seem a little standoffish at times, but they've always been kind to me. I'm a fairly large and perhaps menacing looking middle aged male, so maybe I just give off a vibe. I dont read too much into it, especially since they're nice to me.

Unit pricing is a little high compared to similar stores, but the quality is superior. So I definitely think it's worth it. I can comfortably even say it's a better deal, all things considered. This is now my go-to...

This chocolate used to be the best. It now lacks quality.

After being a loyal customer for several years I can discern that they have changed the chocolate formula.

Although the gifts and individual inventory look appeal, the chocolate is now very hard and waxy, and plastic tasting making it unpalatable and difficult to bite into.

The fillings lack a natural honest flavor. They taste chemically enhanced and artificial. Not much rich cacao flavor.

I recently gave two boxes as a gift to a client and was embarrassed when she discretely wrapped a chocolate covered cherry into a tissue, shortly after biting it.

We visited the shop early at Christmas time for gifts, they were out of inventory. Went back mid January, still out...

My wife's family always ordered chocolate from a well known North Philadelphia chocolatier growing up. After living in the burbs for many years, she finally found a chocolate shop that mirrored the delicious flavor she was accustomed to eating. We moved to Utah in 2016 but we couldn't find a local chocolatier that made sweets the way Doug does. Even though it's been many years, we still order Easter chocolate from the Newtown Chocolatier. Doug's hollow eggs are the best for our kid's baskets! We always make sure to add on extra treats for the adults (peanut butter bunnies...
