Sometimes you visit a shop purely with the intention of stuffing your face with chocolate. But then you end up leaving feeling inspired by the beautiful colors and patterns that cover the above mentioned chocolate, and a recent visit to Compartes Chocolate shop did just that.
I mean, just look at that packaging! Chocolatier, Jonathan Grahm, creates every single recipe and designs the crazy, gorgeous packages for each flavor. That wall is literally eye candy, and the space designed by AAmp Studio is just full of beautiful details.
Some of our favorite flavors include Donuts & Coffee, Coney Island (milk chocolate with bits of waffle cone), Cereal Bowl, Campfire (dark chocolate with graham crackers and marshmallow), and the Blonde Bombshell (white chocolate with butterscotch). Every bar is full of fun both inside and outside, and all I wanna do it give a chocolate bar to everyone I know…

The Coney Island sounds so good, but my gosh that packaging! It’s so gorgeous, and all together on that black wall – so amazing! I absolutely love it.
That looks great! What would I give to be there now 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!
Some pics of my beautiful Italian life and my man and sunny greetings to you:-)

Your nails!!! SWOON!!
My friend gave me 2 of their chocolate bars for my birthday last month (The “Golden Gatsby” and the “Old Hollywood”). I loved the packaging, and it really sealed the deal that the chocolate was so good. I had no idea they had a storefront. It looks so fun!
Oh wow…yummy AND gorgeous! These are must-get as perfect gifts for this holiday season!
That is the most beautifully packaged chocolate I have ever seen…I almost wouldn’t want to unwrap the bars! I mean, almost, come on, it’s chocolate!

The store is gorgeous and the candy looks equally as beautiful. Thank you for the introduction to the brand. I am definitely going to have to order some of their goodies to try them out!

The packaging as well as the chocolate looks so delicious! I am going to have to visit LA just to try some of the food you keep posting about! How fun! The Coney Island sounds amazing!
That’s how I feel when I visit Mast Brothers – all the packaging is so pretty I almost don’t want to open the wrappers (but then what’s inside is so good!). Also, I love your nails in the second to last picture – so cool!
Your nails! What are they??
Next time I get to CA I am totally adding Compartes to my to visit list. It looks beautiful and delicious!
Oh My Goodness! Will love sending some of these to very special relatives and friends for the holidays. It’s probably a good thing I don’t live nearby, or I wouldn’t be able to fit through the door for more after a short while. Thanks for sharing and can hardly wait to taste test.
Wow, this place and the product look super cool!

Phwoar! This chocolate sounds incredible!
Yes! I am with dawn… your nails! What is that treatment? LOVE them!
And the chocolate/packaging/store is not bad either!
I am swooning over the gorgeous package design. The chocolate itself sounds pretty darn delicious too, I am especially eyeing the Doughnuts & Coffee bar.
Wow, that’s looks great! Looks like a luxury shop!
Yummy!!! I WANT

I love your dress. Will you share the maker, please?
Thanks Sarah!

The chocolates are so cute! I have not seen thease beautiful chocolates in Japan!
I love your boots! Would you mind sharing where you got them?
I am jealous that some of the shops you feature don’t sell or deliver outside of LA (like the McFaddy Toffee company). I was so ready to order toffee as gifts for my family!
