Flavors are Jasmine tea, Vietnamese coffee, pho, sriracha, durian, guava, passion fruit, lychee and cognac. I discovered different flavors I've never had in chocolate. If you're adventurous with flavors, treat yourself or share with others. I love their durian truffle. The smell can be a turn off when you bite into it, but the smooth, creamy flavor is tasty. I wish it was more affordable, so I can indulge in it more often. They sell them in boxes of 4 for $20. I also like the jasmine tea, matcha chocolate. I stop by whenever I get the chance to get some for myself and gifts for others.

Bottom Line Up Front: I'd never heard of this chocolatier…read moreuntil my cousin told me it's actually a big deal. After trying it, I can now see why. The Background: Socola offers high-quality chocolates with unique Vietnamese flavors. A unusual but brilliant concept that produces delicious treats. The Taste: I had the soda chanh, which would normally be a drink with 3 simple ingredients: lime, sugar, and carbonated water. I had no idea what to expect because chocolate is not the first thing I think of what someone says soda chanh, but I have to say this is one of the best white chocolates I've ever had. Somehow the drink flavor works as a chocolate! I also had the toasted coconut and black sesame milk chocolate, which was also unexpected but also delicious. It tastes exactly as it sounds, and yet all the disparate components complement each other perfectly. The Conclusion: Socola offers a unique East-meets-West approach to chocolate that works in such unexpected but amazing ways. The prices are certainly premium rates, but you get what you pay for.

Sophie at this location is a gem. Yes, she's knowledgeable, but more than that, she's genuinely kind and personable in a way that's increasingly rare. There's an intangible warmth to her that turns a quick visit into a moment worth remembering. All around fantastic experience today for my first stop at this location. One suggestion: I really wish they would offer frozen fruit smoothies here -maybe a super simplified version of their café offerings. It would do incredibly well. There's a clear market gap in the area with tons of foot traffic, and it would put something tangible in customers' hands to sip on while they walk around, keeping the unique chocolate experience that's offered at Dandelion at the forefront of the mind. One day...

Finally popped in after walking my dogs around the Haight. If you ever find yourself wandering the Haight with a sweet tooth, Candy's is the kind of place that reels you in with its polka-dot storefront and keeps you there with its sheer wall-to-wall candy magic. I popped in during an evening dog walk & it was game over. Inside, the shop bursts with color, rows of gummies, chocolates, and nostalgic treats that make you feel like you've stepped into a real-life candy playground. The selection is seriously impressive. Think sour watermelon slices, Swedish-style raspberry gummies, cola bottles, peach rings, rainbow belts, giant marshmallow twists, Haribo classics, and even fun themed candies like frogs, sharks, and gummy strawberries. Everything is neatly packaged and easy to browse, which makes it extremely dangerous for anyone prone to impulse snacking. Even my pup tried to "shop" the lower shelves -- apparently the scent of sugar is universally appealing. The staff is as sweet as the inventory. They greeted me right away, offered recommendations, and seemed genuinely excited about their collection. Prices feel reasonable for the neighborhood, especially given the variety and the care clearly put into stocking the shelves. Plus, the vibe is just delightful -- bright, cheerful, and very Haight Street. This candy-coated gem that's perfect for locals, kids, visitors, and anyone who needs a little sugar rush check Candy's out! 5 stars!

Living in Denver, we rarely get the chance to visit one, so whenever we're in a city with a Teuscher location, it's practically mandatory for us to stop by. This time happened to be San Francisco, where we once again stocked up on their incredible assortment of dark chocolates. Our absolute favorite, hands down, is the dark chocolate pistachio -- rich, smooth, and dangerously addictive. Now, fair warning: this place isn't cheap. But you truly get what you pay for. The quality is unmistakably premium, and every piece feels thoughtfully crafted rather than mass-produced. The San Francisco shop itself is charming and inviting, and the staff has always been warm, friendly, and happy to help guide you through the selection. Highly recommend for any serious chocolate lover.

I checked inside and among other things (no Beats Headphones BTW), there's two wrapped candies. Alter Eco Truffles - Sea Salt. Hum? Later that evening watching Netflix, I remembered them truffles and decided to try one. Goodness gracious! Just one of the most delicious erotic taste experiences ever! Once biting into the milk chocolate, an explosion of smooth savory and slightly salty swirled. I had to take a moment, put my show on pause and just let the flavors envelop me. With a small sip of black coffee, it just a lingering memory. Damn it was great! I had to stop before devouring the other one and prepare myself for the second coming. Hence a photo-op! The second experience was as moving as the first. I intently took my time to enjoy the moment. I'm fulfilled and yet yearning for more. A quick Google and I found they're made in The City. Also sold at stores in The Bay. Thank you, Alter Eco, for supporting our YEE was your fabulous treats. Baby, I look forward to another date!

I really like that you can choose exactly how many of each flavor you want in your box. I didn't realize that before, but it's a great option because you could literally get one of everything if you wanted to try them all. I chose orange, citron/lemon, caramel, earl grey, espresso, raspberry, and hazelnut. There was also a vegan raspberry option since the regular raspberry had sold out for the day, and honestly you couldn't tell the difference. It was delicious. I also tried the lemon in store, and the raspberry was my favorite. One small thing is that once they're bagged up, it can be a little hard to tell which flavor is which since they look pretty similar on the outside. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind if you're trying to remember what's what. The owner mentioned he's had the shop for 30 years, which you can feel when you're in there. He took the time to neatly tie up the box and even gave me two complimentary pieces. The shop itself is tiny and charming with a good variety of flavors. A friend of mine has been coming here since childhood, and now I understand the hype. I'll definitely be back.
