Not bad but definitely not as good as Sees. Surprised it is ranked as high as it was.

Very good chocolate and the owner was very helpful in our choice selection. We are from out of town and very sad that they are not in our neighborhood. Great overall experience. read more

We went here to get chocolates for Valentines Day. The lady was so patient as my grandchildren picked chocolates for themselves and also for their sibling and parents who weren't with us. We were also given samples. We bought a variety of chocolates and everyone loved them! read more

The chocolate is amazing and service really good. The owner is right there making the chocolate so you know it's fresh !

Good variety of chocolates. I asked about ingredients and they showed me them and its a tiny list w/no hydrogenated oils or sea salt or even corn syrup. I picked out many, 8 for $20. Its a bit pricey, for more and more chocolate the price skyrockets. Worker bees are super friendly and professional!! read more

Chocolate Haus - a variety of chocolates in a display case - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm personally not a chocolatier, but I hardly ever visit La Jolla these days without grabbing a scoop of my favorite ice cream in the world - key lime! There's some graham cracker crumble mixed in which adds perfect texture to this already tasty treat. All their flavors i've tried are impressive by the way. I snuck a spoonful out of my daughter's strawberry--it tasted more strawberry than an actual strawberry. :) And this is not even labeled as an ice cream shop. And it was only $3 each cup - which was a medium sized scoop by any gelato/ice cream shop's measure. An unbeatable price! AND the server gave us complimentary chocolate dipped oreos!!! read more

Photo taken while DRIVING because I literally couldn't WAIT to eat them! The milk toffee is my favorite, so I got two of those. I love really every single item I've gotten here. I don't typically enjoy dark chocolate, but I really enjoy it from here!!! Just get the eight pack - you will not regret it!!! I could eat this entire box in one sitting the owners are amazing people and generous, and all employees are really kind too. read more

Chocolate Haus - Assortment of 8 pack of truffles - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

I wanted to like this place, but I couldn't quite get there. Chocolate Haus is a little shop in the Pacific Beach ("PB" if you're a local or a pretender) neighborhood of San Diego. It's within walking distance from various restaurants including the one where I ate lunch, so I gave them a try. They're slightly hidden, so either keep your eyes peeled or just rely on mapping software. The person working there let us sample the ice cream. I tried a couple of flavors - none of them are very unusual - and ended up going for an ice cream sandwich ($3) with Coffee Almond Fudge inside. The freshness and/or storage conditions are questionable because ice had formed inside of the plastic wrapper. The ice cream was fine, but not special in flavor or texture, and the chocolate chip cookie "buns" were of the uncooked ice cream sandwich variety, not something that you'd eat alone. Considering that it's markedly inferior to chain ice cream sandwich establishments, I wouldn't recommend coming here for it. And if you think I shouldn't give weight to the ice cream, it's a big part of the menu and an ice cream cone symbol was the first thing I saw while walking down the sidewalk to this store. It's cheap but forgettable. I also ordered a chocolate truffle, namely the Nirvana ($2.50 per piece). This was more impressive, with a smooth dark chocolate ganache inside of a dark chocolate shell. I might try more chocolates if I should return. Judging by how Chocolate Haus seem to have been stuck around for years despite seeing a sparse number of reviews, I doubt that this will hurt them too much. But I think that they're just OK, not great. read more

This chocolatier not only makes decadent chocolate and cookies, but they also make some very good ice cream. After having lunch near by, I stopped in for some dessert and ordered a cup of their peanut butter fudge ice cream and a chocolate chip cookie (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-chocolate-haus-san-diego?select=sx2cSaUG8RKG7fv1nhxUDQ#jqyE1W4qu4tZg5YPkjQTpQ). The ice cream had a mild peanut butter flavor, nothing over whelming, which a loud the fudge to stand out and say "hello!" (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-chocolate-haus-san-diego?select=sx2cSaUG8RKG7fv1nhxUDQ#tFDGf3sSKkcjwljkt2PDtQ). Now, the ice cream was not as smooth as I have had, a little grainy, but the flavor was there, and paired eating with the chocolate chip cookie, just made my day (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-chocolate-haus-san-diego?select=sx2cSaUG8RKG7fv1nhxUDQ#FZMwv2f2aiNtG3gV5W0NKg). The chocolate chip cookie was moist and came with a very good amount of chocolate chip morsels (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-chocolate-haus-san-diego?select=sx2cSaUG8RKG7fv1nhxUDQ#ManLFHN5d_aCwXJeTW8t1A). Like I said earlier, they make some good looking chocolate which were being made as I walked in (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-chocolate-haus-san-diego?select=sx2cSaUG8RKG7fv1nhxUDQ#sx2cSaUG8RKG7fv1nhxUDQ). I was offered a sampler but I turned it down, given I had my eyes set on some homemade ice cream. The lady who runs and I presume owns the place, is very nice and welcoming. read more

Stumbled upon this little place in north pb by imputing 'dessert' in an app called..........yelp (surprise, surprise haha) and was not disappointed. We ordered ice cream sandwiches, in which you can choose from a couple of flavors of ice cream and cookies. I chose to use two different cookies, white chocolate macadamia and snicker doodle, to sandwich the brownie chunk ice cream. It was amazing, I promise you. Couldn't pass up picking something from a huge case of truffles...and decided to try the Nirvana (dark chocolate), French Kiss (white chocolate) and a peanut butter flavored one. Very rich in chocolate, no complaints. Surprised this place doesn't get a lot of play or reviews on the internet, but it's definitely a place to try. read more

I usually just go to Sees but never again. Now I know what true quality is. I was given chocolates from here as a Christmas gift and I've never in my life had anything better. I can have one and they are so satisfying I usually have 4 from other chocolatiers. All I can say is I'm very impressed read more

The heavenly truffle here is exactly that. Filled with peanut butter brittle and chocolate, it's like an elevated Reese's. This quaint and adorable shop has some of the most incredible truffles EVER! We really enjoyed them all and the service from the dark haired curly girl with the glasses. Hopefully they start doing cookies or frozen yogurt or maybe some lower sugar/fat options !! Will continue to come here for gifts and yummy treats. read more

I had high hopes for this place. The chocolates were beautifully boxed up and looked delicious, but unfortunately tasted old and stale. Very disappointing -- a $40 gift that wasn't even tasty. read more

The ice cream was DELICIOUS! The service was great! The chocolate display was beautiful!

I was craving ice cream on my way back from the beach. Not only do they have chocolates, but also they have ice cream. The guy who helped me out was super nice and gave me a couple extra chocolates free! As soon as I bit into my mint chocolate chip ice cream I knew I had to write this review... so good!! read more

Wow what a fantastic experience my family just had at Chocolate Haus! So, we were about 10 minutes away looking at the sea lions at La Jolla Cove. We were trying to walk off a delicious meal from Phil's Bbq we had an hour earlier. After walking up and down and all around town we were in the mood for chocolate. So what do we do? Use YELP of course! Typed in 'chocolate shop' and current location. Lamentably not much came up where we were BUT 1 town over had a cute little shop named Chocolate Haus with an amazing yelp reputation. So we hopped in the car and headed out to find some of the good stuff. I am lactose intolerant and prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate. I'm super picky and have a hard time finding desserts in general since 99% of desserts are milk based. Yeah, I never noticed that either until I was diagnosed. Dark chocolate and churros are about my only choices. Wait is this about me or this shop? I digress. Anyway, the dark chocolate almond brittle was AMAZING!! Not hard to bite into at all, I was shocked. Not only was it easy to eat but it had the most amazing flavor. Was my absolute favorite nut brittle ever! Lastly, the service! It could not have been better! They gave my kids 1 free white and chocolate dipped Oreo for their 1 scoop ice cream bowls. Was not expecting that, but it didn't end there! I bought 3 candy pieces to eat and it left a blank corner in the little plastic to go box. Maybe that didn't look Feng Shui to them or something so they filled that empty little spot with a FREE candy of their choice. It was a lemon drop chocolate and it's something I never would have tried on my own and really enjoyed it. What a great way to treat customers! Of all the places I've been to this week (escaping the record 120 degree temps back home) this impeccable service compelled me to write this right away, even without a real keyboard! read more

I wanted some outstanding hostess gifts for Thanksgiving and found perfection. I'm posting a pic of my precious turkeys--they'll be hard to give away. Pete was personable and helpful. He graciously gave me a truffle to sample then insisted I try the ice cream. Both were extraordinarily delicious. I will definitely be back soon for Christmas treats. Chocolate Haus is just what I was looking for--it was well worth the short drive from La Jolla. Give it a try when you're in North PB. read more

I don't know how good ice cream can get, but it can't get much better than this. Chocolate Haus is awesome! This is the place where deliciousness happens. Kids and adults will LOVE this place. It has soooo much stuff (sweetened whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, etc), and they don't just serve ice cream! They also serve stuff like truffles, candy, peanut brittle and toffee. If you ever want to know the definition of yumminess, this is definitely it. - Élan, 7, CA read more

Cute small place tucked in Pacific Beach. Down the street from where we got tacos :) Makes for a great gift. You can try so many different kinds of chocolates and make an assorted box. I like the different kinds. I forget the name of the guy who helped us, but he was very nice and helpful. He joked and laughed with us as well as conversed with us which always makes a better experience. I got a nice panoramic picture with all the assorted chocolates. They know what they are doing and I will be glad to come here for an afternoon or evening pick me up! read more

My kids give me a couple of boxes of fancy chocolates for special occasions. For Mother's Day this is where they went. I really really wanted to like this place. But every piece had a floral/perfumey taste to it. I realize today that it comes from the container itself. Either the box, the brown filler, or the protective topper is scented, therefore transferring it to the chocolates. Gross! If I come here again, I will definitely eat the candy onsite. But seeing as I've had better, that probably won't happen. Otherwise, presentation was great and service was really good (per the husband and kids). read more

Got fudge-a-holics in the family--sent peanut butter, milk & dark chocolate fudge--thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Rocca is the perfect blend of crunchy sweet--addictive.

Chocolate Haus - Obsessed! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

We visited this shop for some chocolates over the weekend and came away pretty disappointed. There were only two young people working when we arrived, one of whom was being trained by the other. We weren't offered any samples and weren't given any sort of guidance about how the ordering worked beyond them saying hello and then staring at us. As we picked our chocolates we asked a few questions. My wife has a severe gluten allergy but they were unable to answer almost any questions about ingredients or allergens which was pretty surprising for a shop that supposedly makes its own products. The one thing they did tell her was that the lemon white chocolate she got did not have a cake or cookie inside, but when we got it home and bit into it there was a cookie layer in it so she couldn't eat that. Luckily she checked before taking a bite or she would have been ill for a couple of days. The employee also picked a box that was too small for the chocolates, got chocolate fingerprints all over the outside of the container and had to squish the box and use scotch tape to get it to close. The chocolates were fine but the experience was not what I'd expect for a place charging almost $4 a piece for chocolates. read more

After visiting Oscar's Mexican seafood in the undiscovered country that is the suburbs between PB and La Jolla, my date and I walked up the street to try out the ice cream in this small candy shop we drove past. What we found there was delicious ice cream. The coconut in particular was amazing with huge yummy bits of actual shredded coconut. If I had it mixed with chocolate, it would have been the ice cream equivalent of a Mounds bar. And, while the mint chocolate chip, was not as astounding, it was still a solid effort that blows away most local efforts, especially those of chains. Summary: Highly recommended fix for ice cream junkies. read more

Whats a meal without dessert, right? After lunching at The French Gourmet we decided to stop by this little shoppe since it was across the street. I ordered a chocolate shake and oh my it was waaaay to sweet- which really (TRUST me) is rare for me to say since I live off of sweets. Another thing surprising that this establishment was a "chocolate haus" was the absence of the "chocolate" aroma. Dont get me wrong, the chocolates looked really pretty- but for me, the aroma is what makes the ultimate decision whether or not I purchase something. I purchased a 4$ brownie that wasnt nicely packaged- give it the better of the doubt. After biting into it, it was so dry that it crumbled in my mouth, on my lips, on my blouse, on my desk and probably on my floor. I've spent 4$ on a brownie at Cafe 976 and it was melt in your mouth- ooey gooey full of deliciousness, this definitely was not. I don't see a reason to come back here. But then again, it's just my opinion.. read more

Chocolate Haus - Since scoop of cookies and cream ice cream - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

Me and a friend were walking back to our car after enjoying lunch at Blazin Grill (fully stuffed I might add) when I noticed a 50% off ice cream from 3-4. YAY! It was 3:22 on a Saturday and I immediately made my friend go with me. It was a nice cute little store with a glass counter filled with chocolate goodies. Apparently they make their ice cream in the store so it was legit. I ordered their coffee flavored ice cream and thought it was pretty decent for only like $1.50. Plus she gave me a HUGE serving that I couldn't even finish. It was not one of the best house made ice creams I have ever tasted but it wasn't bad for its price. I will be back, but only during their ice cream happy hour. read more
