About
We believe that good people deserve good chocolate. Really good chocolate. What makes it so good? We source it responsibly from Ecuador and Colombia. Then we pair it with local, fresh and even weird flavors. No bows. No satin. No nonsense. What you see is what you get. And what you taste.
We believe in quality chocolate and ingredients. That’s one reason why we use honeycomb cardboard to package our chocolate. It’s important to us to have packaging that doesn’t cost more than the product. And it doesn’t hurt that all of our packaging is 100% recyclable AND the chocolate is secure as hell when in our custom folded boxes.
We want everyone who tries Bon Bon Bon to have a special experience. That’s why each Bon is individually packaged. If a customer would like a single Bon or 26 Bons, that’s ok! There is no specific box size, we cut the boxes to order. If you get a box of 2 or a box of 32, the box is special and packaged up with care. The idea is that you’ll take a minute for yourself and enjoy, but if you want to eat it right away, in your car, outside the shop, no judgement. Honestly, we’ve all done it.
You can have as many as you want! We build the box around what you want, and don’t try to fit you into a box.

Alex Clark- Owner
Alexandra Clark was born into a chocolate loving family who wasnʼt surprised at all when at 19, she announced that she had decided to dedicate her life to the art of chocolate. Traveling the world studying her craft as an economist, confectioner and retailer, she felt overwhelmed with questions that no one could seem to answer.
With $32,000 from a taxi accident that she was in (leaving a chocolate show) Clark opened up her experiment of a shop in the back room of a Coney (read “diner” if youʼre not from Detroit) across the street from her best friendʼs grandpaʼs house.
Back then, we were open Saturdays only. Our sole sign invited customers to peek in the windows, check us out online and to “Knock Again if You Have Champagne”. Neighbors, friends and family would drop in day by day feeding our enthusiasm, experimentation and creativity eventually garnering national attention for the craftsmanship, attitude and style of Clarkʼs team, known as The Babes Babes Babes.
Together, they have received acclaim from Bon Appetit, Food & Wine Magazine and Tasting Table, Martha Stewart (American Made Honoree, Brand), Crainʼs (“20 in their 20s”) and Forbes Magazine who named her “The Best Pastry Chef Under 30” (on their list of “30 under 30”).
Now we are open 7 days a week! We have 2 locations (and more in the works). We pop up all over town and out of town to spread the Bon Bon Bon love! Our delicious and unique chocolate is tastes great and is simultaneously good for the farmers! We source from Colombia AND Ecuador from small farms. So when we say Good People Deserve Good Chocolate, we mean it!
