Shane Confectionery

$-$$

This 158-year-old storefront in Old City got a makeover in 2011, when it was reopened by the Willy Wonka-esque Berley brothers, owners of the nearby Franklin Fountain. Shane Confectionery takes a bean-to-bar approach, sourcing cacao from around the world, then processing it in house. The products include creamy bonbons, peanut butter cups, buttercreams, coffee and spiced chai caramels, and chocolate bars with up to 90 percent cacao, as well as a wide selection of other candies. Be sure to try a cup of their thick, velvety drinking cocoa, which can be purchased at the shop’s walk-up window.
