The Pleasure Chest

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a good selection of quality merchandise at reasonable prices.

Just left this place and can honestly say it’s my favorite :)
They honored the 20% off with check in on Unilocal and the owner or maybe the manager Susan was super helpful when it came to picking out different types of lubes and a pocket vibrator for me.
Place is small but stocks everything you could possibly want from wall to ceiling.
Oh! And they also sell Voluspa candles which is not something I see from the other sex shops in the city. 5 stars for the Pleasure Chest.

I’ve been to the Pleasure Chest in Chicago and was expecting the same out of this store, so I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting a larger selection of toys than they had. They did have a nice selection of party favor type stuff, but I didn’t need that. Overall, the store sort of felt oddly empty, like they were about to get restocked or something. The staff was nice and not creepy, which is a big plus at stores like this.

I came in to the store Saturday morning to find something to surprise my girlfriend with and had a great experience. Both of the girls that were working were very friendly and had a lot of knowledge of all the products they carry and were able to recommend a couple items to me. It’s a far more female friendly store than a lot of the other places, and a great location where you can easily stop in on a night out on the town. I will definitely be coming back with my girlfriend in the future

I would not recommend this shop the two ladies that where working today had a miserable welcoming and where extremely unpleasant to talk to I can’t imagine asking them about sex toys. The worst experience!

While shopping for a bachelorette party & goody bag for my bride friend, the Pleasure Chest had everything I needed & then some.
The two ladies behind the counter were friendly and non-​obtrusive. They answered such questions as, «Does this burn?» and, «Does this taste good?» with aplomb. They mastered the whole non-​judgement zone attitude, making for a pleasurable shopping experience.
As for the products, they had tons of naughty party favors* and gag gifts, including games — hello, penis pick up sticks — up front. While the, ahem, larger items were stowed in the rear, opposite the bondage wall.
Edible panties? Check. A rainbow of massage oils? Check, check. Vegan, organic lubricants? How thoughtful! Check, check, check. The basement level shopping area provided a welcome shield of anonymity, unless you want to be seen with a pile full of sex paraphernalia.
*Phallic & mammary cake pans, lollipops, cookie cutters, whistles, confetti, small candies, blow up toys, etc.

The store may be a little small, but they have a huge selection with competitive prices. Very knowledgable and helpful staff make shopping a real pleasure.

I was very disappointed with this shop. First, everything is way overpriced. I went trying to find things for a bachelorette party. Decided to splurge and get a couple games. Unfortunately, we didn’t wind up using the games during the party so I went today to return them. Well, not only can I not return them, I also came across the worst customer service. If you ever need a sex shop, stay away from the Pleasure Chest and go to Good Vibrations in Manayunk. It’s totally worth the trip.

This place is way passed its prime. It’s been around since the late eighties — and back then was one of the only «Adult» shops around. Frankly, I can’t believe they are still here.
But yes, you can stock up on toys and party favors here — and other «naughty bits».
And yes, it is in the BASEMENT — and theirs just something psychological for me about going DOWN into a sex shop. (Ba dum, bump!)

In the market for some penis pasta? Looking for the perfect boob candle for a romantic evening in? How about some edible undies? You’ll find them all here.
Yep, it’s in a basement, which is probably the un-​sexiest place I can think of. And sure, most of the minuscule inventory is dedicated to bondage gear — not that there’s anything wrong with that. What’s that, you ask? You’re looking for a slutty French maid’s outfit and you want to spend more than $ 30? Score one for The Pleasure Chest!
The staff were in full swing the day I went in with the boy, talking up products and cracking jokes. I got a good sales pitch about the naughty bits cake pans (perfect for those occasions when you just can’t figure out what to bring to the bake sale) but walked out of there empty handed. Maybe they would be adequate for a porn emergency, but I’ll save my allowance for other toy stores.

I researched this place before I went actually and it was not at all what I was hoping for. I’m used to shops like Babeland and I was hoping to find a similar woman friendly sex toy shop in Philly. There are other Pleasure Chest in other major cities which are nice, but this didn’t fit the bill.
When you walk in you have to go down a flight of stairs because it’s in a basement. There were a lot of novelties around, but for some reason it was giving off the shadiest vibes and the person working there seemed like a total creepo. They didn’t have very good prices and their bondage section (not that I am against s&m) was a little much. It’s just weird to have such a small store with such an extensive collection or hardcore bondage supplies.
Not the place for me. I guess next time we’ll be checking out somewhere else.

Going over lunch… definitely an adult store and not a toy store, though maybe a «toy» store.
