Thomas Sweet Chocolates

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.

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.

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 Unilocal

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.

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.

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.

Fudge was good. Good Fudge. Best fudge I have ever had.

Thomas Sweet is my favorite spot in Princeton. I often come to visit my family in Princeton and we always make it a point to go to Thomas Sweet, even in the dead of winter; it’s been a tradition since I was young. The atmosphere is welcoming and I love that there is live music outside on evenings when the weather allows it. No ice cream can compete with Thomas Sweet, probably because it is made right there in the shop. The blend-​in idea is also unique compared to other ice cream shops in the area.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
