We…read morelearned about her chocolate making processes, travel experience and how she acquires her favorite & top tier product/ingredients that she personally selects & has familial and cultural connections to. Since then she is continuing to produce products and flavors that live up to the Dallmann name! Definitely Gourmet Quality!!! Isabella and her staff are true artists when it comes down to creating mini art pieces with unique flavors to choose from. You get to customize your order online (as this establishment is not a storefront) make your payment and it will be shipped to you. By special appointment only you can do a pick up. I suggest reaching out to them in order to arrange that. Her business facility is in an industrial complex shared with other family owned businesses and mainly this establishment is only for her private preparations of her delicious creations! Kept very clean and functional! We've been sporadic as customers ever since we got to pipe in the Grenache ourselves and sample the chocolate making process & yummy goodness! She's got very creative packaging too. So a special occasion can be very personalized too. Dark, milk, and even vegan options available. You've a choice to swap or double up on a flavor choice if she happens to run out of a particular selection. Truly spectacular products. You might even see them at a chocolate fest, or even wine or food pairing type event elsewhere! This time we tried a bar in conjunction too a chocolate box and my daughter is happy with it! I mean who doesn't love chocolate for any occasion but February is just that more special in our home. Thanks Bella and staffers! You're the best!

I could tell how passionate the owner, Jim, is about the business. He crafts his chocolate from ethically sourced beans, roasts them and makes the most deeply dark chocolate! My favorite was the chocolate ganache with walnuts! But there's such a variety of flavors to chose from. There's even chocolate tea and hot chocolate available. I'd like to return to take one of the classes. They offer classes for children. But they also offer a 2-3 hour class where they teach how to temper and decorate 21 pieces of chocolate that you get to take home! Until then I'll just have to settle with eating them!

Horrible experience - caused my granddaughter to cry due to his rudeness…read more We had an 11 am class on 7/5/26. We arrived at 10;50 and were told to leave the building because he was not ready. We reentered with others at 11:05. The lady in front of us told him that 3 of her 5 reservations would not be there. I waited until everyone was checked in and hands washed. I stood by the register for over 5 minutes - when he finally came over, I told him that I would be happy to take one of the missing reservations. He said I would have to wait until everyone showed up, but not everyone was there. So I sat down next to my granddaughter. He came over to my chair, trying to explain the same thing. I told him that the lady (who was right across the table from me) had told him that 3 were not coming and that I was trying to help. HE THEN STARTED to verbally abuse me, telling me that I was being rude and that if I didn't stop, he would not be able to teach my granddaughter. I responded that we just needed to end the conversation (the entire time, I was sitting WITH HIM STANDING NEXT TO MY SHOULDER). He continued by calling me rude and threatening. All I could say was we needed to stop the conversation. HE CONTINUED WITH THREATS. Then he decided to kick me out after I made a hand gesture to stop talking. As a backdrop, I have been a customer of theirs at the Farmer's Market for years. That will be ending! Bill McNabb

I especially love their firecracker chocolate- spicy and filled with pop rocks! They had a post holiday sale --50% off their center table.

The staff is super nice and there's a big window you can see the factory in action.

I learned that Chuao's pure chocolate shows no signs of any waxy texture. Waxy texture can indicate low quality ingredients.

Firecracker, Churro, Honeycomb, and Spicy Maya! Tastes so good!

I've been to Laderach several times and have always had an amazing experience. To start off with,…read morethe customer service is always friendly and knowledgeable. If you ask any of the workers, they will be able to tell you their personal favorite flavors. There are endless rows of beautifully displayed fresh chocolate slabs that are almost too pretty to eat. Some of my personal favorites are the milk chocolate with hazelnuts, nut trio milk and dark (hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios with milk and dark chocolate), and their cherry-raspberry white-dark (seasonal flavor). They also often come out with new flavors like the Dubai chocolate or cornflakes with milk chocolate. The quality of the chocolate really stands out. Even though it's definitely on the pricier side, the quality makes it feel worth it for a special treat or gift. If you're a chocolate lover, Läderach is a must visit destination. It's one of those places where it's almost impossible to leave with just one flavor, and I'll definitely be back to try more flavors.

CHOCOLATE FROM SWITZERLAND (3.2 stars)…read more Real talk, I didn't savor exquisite chocolates. Definitely better than Hershey but not better than Toblerone (in my opinion). The two pieces of chocolates I bought for $5 per piece had no wow-factor and nothing stood out but tasting about average-good chocolate. The chocolates here are very pricy and don't feel there was justification. MILK CHOCOLATE with hazelnuts, gianduja ($5) - This was good and liked it better than the other chocolate I bought, only because there was more chocolate flavor and I like texture in my chocolate bars such as hazelnuts. WHITE CARAMEL CHOCOLATE with almonds, granola, caramel ($5) - This reminded me of a Starbucks Caramel Machiatto and surprised it didn't blow my taste buds. I think I can walk pass this chocolate shop while shopping. I'll stick to my Toblerone. Until the next review...

There is a variety of fine chocolates, 75 different flavors of truffles, cookies cover with chocolate, bonbons cover with white and milk chocolate , strawberries, pretzels, Rice Krispies treats, apples cover with chocolate, nuts, chamoy and so other specialties. You can create your own chocolate box of truffles and chocolates as you wish. Purchased the Apple Venus / Chamoy, the Granny Smith apple was fresh with layers of Chamoy, tamarind, sprinkle with a mixture of Chile powder, sugar and salt. The Chocotreats / Bonbons Venus, cover with white and milk chocolate were just perfect not too sweet. By the way the store catalog is extensive of the many combinations you can imagine. Will definitely come back and will create my own chocolate box.

Michael came from a rocket science background and you'll taste chocolates made by a rocket scientist! I learned about this chocolatier through a Yelp elite event. They offer bars, fudges, truffles and even halvas (a crumbly, nutty confection of Asian, African and also European origin). Their exciting bar flavors include spicy mango, pistachio, cashew, coconut, and all of the above. Although halvas are the very popular item at the store, I personally prefer the truffles. I couldn't help but bought 2 bags even through the price tag was on the higher side ($10 for 5/6 pieces). I don't care because I don't eat this often and it's so good! They're at the Solana Beach market every other week. Go check them out! Check in for 20% off any chocolate bar!

I got to try a Macaron making class and it was a fun experience. It was supposed to take 2.5 - 3 hours. The other party was late so we started about 10 minutes late and we went way over 3 hours. The class is very hands on. You get detailed instructions, and a template for the Macaron shapes. The instructor is the owner, and she is Cordon Bleu trained and loves making Macarons and Chocolate. She will tell you all about her schooling, background, experiences, and the history of the Macaron. The instructor will walk you through the process step by step, explaining why you have to be precise and follow each step completely and in order if you want to get good results. She also explains how you may need to add a little extra of an ingredient based on the humidity, the science behind it, etc. You make the Macaron shells and you also make Italian butter cream filling to put in the Macaron. You will get 14-16 delicious Macarons depending on how you follow the template design setup. Enjoy my photos.
