What andSons Chocolatiers does

andSons Chocolatiers is a second-generation, family-owned artisanal chocolatier headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. Founded in 1983 by a mother as a Swiss chocolate store and rebranded in 2019 when her two sons took over the business and parted ways with the prior Swiss-chocolatier partner, the company produces handcrafted confections from a single production kitchen in Los Angeles's Arts District under the direction of Executive Pastry Chef Sandy Tran (formerly of The French Laundry). The product portfolio centers on a Signature Collection of European-style ganaches, pralines, and modern hand-painted bonbons sold in 6- to 84-piece boxes ($27–$279), complemented by single-SKU confections (Hazelnut Truffles, Champagne Truffles, Dark Chocolate Almonds, Dark Chocolate Orange Peels), curated gift collections tiered by size and price ($99–$289), and limited-edition artist collaborations (Ed Ruscha, 300 units at $295). Core inputs are Valrhona cacao (B-Corp, direct-trade), organic California dairy from Clover Farms, and seasonal produce from the Santa Monica Farmers Market.

The business operates across three go-to-market motions: direct-to-consumer e-commerce via and-sons.com with nationwide FedEx shipping (including melt-free temperature-controlled packaging) and Canadian delivery since 2026; a Beverly Hills flagship store and walk-up café at 9548 Brighton Way serving Counter Culture Coffee, Rishi Tea, and FARMSHOP baked goods; and a dedicated B2B corporate gifting program with custom-printed boxes (from $37, 100-unit minimum), multi-address fulfillment, and white-glove account management — anchored by enterprise relationships with Tiffany & Co. (75,000 custom boxes fulfilled), Cartier, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Van Cleef & Arpels, The Ritz-Carlton, Warby Parker, Warner Bros. Discovery, Capital Group, Piaget, and others. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time purchases (no subscription), with seasonal demand spikes around Mother's Day and the winter holidays driving event-driven and corporate gifting volume.
