What a gem!! This beautiful shop is woman-owned, cheerful, and the perfect breath of sweet air in North County. The tea is imported from England and the desserts are made fresh daily. Don't miss out on this delightful treat!

This small shop is tucked in the back of a strip mall across from the Amalfi restaurant and the Lakehouse Hotel, so it's a bit hard to find - but worth it! They have a good selection of fancy high quality chocolate treats and other delicious things like creme brulee and fruit tart. And for the fall they have pumpkin cheesecake which is super yummy. They have limited seating inside and a nice shaded seating area outside. The people working there are very pleasant and helpful. They are closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday so enjoy your chocolate treats Wednesday through Saturday!

Dlightful Chocolat was truly a dream to work with! From start to finish, she was kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating. We reached out fairly last-minute for a tasting, and she got us in without hesitation--which we were so grateful for! Every single cake flavor she offered was absolutely dlightful (pun intended!)--each one was unique and delicious, and it was hard to even pick a favorite. She answered every question we had with warmth and patience, and her follow-up was outstanding. About a week or two before the wedding, she called and emailed to confirm all the details of our order and make sure everything was just right. She even took my vision of a wildflower-themed cake and brought it to life beautifully--it was better than I imagined! We're so thankful we chose her. If you're looking for a baker who creates both gorgeous and delicious cakes while being an absolute joy to work with, you will not be disappointed. Highly, highly recommend!

Charming, cute and quiet. Located across the resort located in the Lake San Marcos, this little patisserie chocolaterie/gift shop was a total surprise and the perfect meeting point with a friend who happens to live near the lake and that I have not seen for 8 years. I am glad that the girl working there let us play with some props, like an Eiffel tower and Christmas decor so our table outside in their small patio looked cute. Presentation matters! We tried the heart shaped Cassis chocolates and were super delicious. Capuccinos perfect and got an extra bombom after checkin on Yelp!

I had them make me a 2 tier cake for my daughter's 1st birthday and they went over the top! It was executed beautifully and the flavors were amazing. Everyone was asking were it was made. This will be the only place I'll buy my cakes from now on!!! It's a hidden gem inside the lake San Marcos Area located across the Lake house hotel. The staff was incredible and made my vision of the cake I asked for come to life.

Delightful indeed. This beautiful boutique has a variety of luxurious truffles and decadent pastries to choose from. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner as she is a fellow member of The San Marcos Chamber of Commerce with me. She has studied pastry extensively thru Le Cordon Bleu so she is an expert at her craft. My favorite truffles are the dark chocolate cassis which has rich and creamy ganache inside and the mango ginger habanero. The spicy habanero kick at the end is a nice little surprise! D'liteful Chocolate also offers classes in chocolate and pastry making. I plan on coming back for a class with my significant other. It's a great date night idea.

Absolutely looooved this place. Had been on my list for a long time since I love little pastries. This place didn't disappoint! I think the first time I came, I ordered so much stuff we almost couldn't eat it all but I had such a hard time choosing Between the chocolate croissant, pastries, the truffles and the coffee! Can't really go wrong. It's the perfect gift m, big or small.

I've heard of this place about few years ago in Groupon then one of my friends mentioned that she attended their chocolate making workshop and was impressed with their product. A couple of months ago, the business was featured in the local news and I learned that they have a brick and mortar store in Lake San Marcos. I thought this was my opportunity to check it out as it's not that far from where I work. Today, my friends and I were able to visit not knowing that they close at 3pm. We dashed from the Leo Carrillo Park to go over there and arrived at 2:52pm. It's a small place but their customer service was great. We weren't rushed to order as it was our first time. My daughter was debating between a brownie or chocolate mousse so we ordered the 2nd item. I ordered the Hazelnut Chocolate Tart. We even asked for cups of water and they obliged. A friend of mine wanted a Berry Tart and one of the staff was able to prepare it right away as there were no available ones in the case. We got home and all of us ate our goodies and let me tell you, they are amazingly delicious! Not too sweet and no after taste in their mousses. Will be back to try their products. For right now, they're open from 11am to 3pm on certain days so look them online and check it out!
