Founded by Steph and JD Shafer in Orange County, California, this entrepreneurial couple turned their passions for art and chocolate into an amazing and creative collection of hand-painted bonbons. The business, named after their daughter, fuses unique flavor combinations from around the world, including their very own recipe for vanilla extract and the best cacao imported from small family farms in the Caribbean and South America. With these quality ingredients and a lot of love and artistic talent, Bella Sophia Chocolates creates award-winning luxury confections that are as tasty as they are beautiful. The 708-square-foot Bella Sophia Chocolates is open in the Lot 579 food hall next to Popbar.
