    Another great visit to dandelion chocolate This was really good: _classic box of chocolates

    Katie R.

    And we're back with yet another Dandelion Chocolate review! While this location doesn't have the pastry and drink options that the others do, this one is still fantastic with all the chocolate bars, truffles, candies, and other chocolate goodies your heart desires. The customer service here is great! Every time I've been in the employees are warm and welcoming, and happy to talk about the different chocolates with you. Because this location is a little more quiet than the others, it's easier to get that one on one customer service experience. On my most recent visit they didn't have the chocolates out to taste as they usually do, but they were more than happy to give you samples, and even let us sample some of the products aside from the chocolate bars, which of course led to us leaving with more. While I typically stick to the bars and chocolate almonds, we were very excited to leave with a truffle collection this last time. We've only started making our way through the different flavors, but as always the chocolate is amazing and they have been a huge hit.

    Passion fruit Bonbon

    It's a pop up store, so you can't expect much, but the brand itself was amazing! The hazelnut and Japanese citrus were truly unique and the best things there. The raspberry bonbon is also worth a try, but we didn't end up getting it. The guy was very nice and helpful; he even opened a new box of the Japanese citrus for us to try because there weren't any in the back! Although I assume best service is when it's not crowded and you're the only one there - we got lucky! It was a nice small store so it's easier to see their products on display. Definitely worth a stop! (Ps it's definitely on the pricier side but it's a good and delicious high quality product and great as a classy gift. The packaging is beautiful!)

    Couldn't be happier with the level of service I received at Dandelion Chocolate on Fillmore st. I was greeted with a warm welcome and a selection of delicious chocolates to choose from. The lighting, store layout, and chocolate display were perfection. Just a great overall experience, thanks! Anthonyxibarrax

    This place is so fun to go and try quality chocolates with differing levels of cocoa. They also sell hot chocolate mix and mocha mix which both sound yummy. Prices are HIGH! good place to get a fancy gift

    4 stars only because they don't offer their incredible drink service, YET. I really had my heart set on a frozen hot chocolate. 5 stars for every thing else as it's Dandelion for crying out loud. You can never go wrong with chocolate for yourself or a gift for the craft chocolate lovers of the world. The attendant offered me a sample of a toffee I hadn't had before and that was awesome. I ended up buying that Black Sesame Toffee Brittle for myself, the big box of Toffee with Chocolate and Cacao nibs, a giant bag of Cacao nibs (because when you're a chocolate snob, quality and brand of even nibs matters;), and the Easter Egg special pralines as a gift since Easter was that coming weekend. While this shop is considerably smaller than the other locations, the chocolate offerings are there and that's what matters. I was told that they are working on the permits to sell drinks and pastries at this location. Fingers crossed that happens soon. Other favorites of mine here are the Single Origin Truffle Collection, the Hot chocolate mix and ALL of the chocolate bars. I'm so excited to have this location closer to me than the Mission locations, although my pocketbook and wasteline might not agree. Seriously though, Dandelion is a delectable treat, so treat yourself and get a gift for someone else while you're at it.

    Holiday popup soon to be a different Dandelion experience with pastry and other goodies. This holiday shop is easier to access and has fewer lines than its mission HQ. There are holiday gift boxes, printed dark chocolate truffles, lots of hot chocolate in beautiful glass cylinders and bamboo stoppers. The best is you get to taste before you buy. For someone who enjoys chocolate and knows dandelion but isn't full committed to dark chocolate yet, the tasting is helpful for me. The staff was very helpful, recommend sweet pairings such as wine and bubbly with these darker notes

    Italian hot chocolate
    Tina P.

    This place is literally amazing!!! If you've always wanted to try one of those Italian hot chocolates that are super rich and creamy but you can't make it to Europe for any reason, fear no more because this place will serve you exactly that in a much cuter cup Just beware that if you're getting the big size, it'll be too much and you'll likely have to take it to go. Fine by me! I had dessert the next day because once you chill the hot chocolate up in the fridge it'll be like a chocolate pudding! Soooo yummy.

    What a gem we stumbled on. Incredible staff who are generous and delighted to help. They offered endless amount of chocolates for us to try and were kind in teaching us the ingredients and the proper way to indulge. There were four of us who continued to try various items and they never made us feel like it was too much. We love the chocolate. We love the staff. We love the store. We love it all.

    It's a pop up store. There's not as much merchandise here compared to the store inside the Ferry Building. But I came in for 2 bars of their chocolate only. My fav is the Maya chocolate bar from Belize. I prefer the ones which are a tad sweet but not bitter. The other one I bought was Zorzal farms, near a bird sanctuary in Dominican Republic. Both $11. Pricey, yes. But good chocolate. I rarely eat Hershey's anymore. Too sweet and too emulsified.

I've tried it three times and it's great every time. 5/5: Celebration cake; very dense and decadent. 5/5: Apple Donut with ganache. More like a fried muffin.

Not enough chocolate. 3/5: Peanut bar: Like a snickers, and not much better than a snickers. Drinks: 4/5: Frozen chocolate. It's good, but skip the whipped cream. 3/5: Nibby horhata.

    Must-do in SF! As an early Father's Day gift, I booked a Build-Your-Own-Bar workshop for my family…read moreand bf-- they've always wanted to visit the factory ^_^ Fun and educational activity for all ages~~~ We arrived early and enjoyed a few drinks from their cafe before a member of staff checked us in. Our tour guide (forgot his name...!) was so welcoming as he greeted each of us and walked us through the factory. We started with a quick overview of Dandelion Chocolate's history and a handful of samples :3 The actual workshop was just around the corner, hosted in an airy kitchen space. We were given a rundown of the chocolate-making process and the locally-sourced toppings before being invited to create our own bars, by pouring warm chocolate into the molds and quickly adding our choice flavors before they hardened. YUMMMM I may have had more than a few samples as we decorated :3 All throughout, the smell of rich chocolate enveloped us like a warm hug... Once our bars were in the fridge, our tour guide took us to an adjacent meeting room where we tasted hot cocoa and learned about cocoa bean harvesting. Zipped through Q&A about the factory-- passed by so fast! We were back in the room to crack open our finished bars. All except my dad's came out intact (broke into 3 pieces!), but our guide apologized profusely and gifted us a complimentary bar as a token of apology...! My dad was of the mindset that broken or whole, it all tastes the same (lolol) but it was a kind gesture nonetheless :') We stuck around to taste some of Bloom cafe's ice cream offerings, which were phenomenal! Truly a great spot to appreciate fine chocolates. We can't wait to come back for another event!!

I booked about a week in advance which I would definitely advise - these tours fill up! I was the only non-local attendee so it seems like Dandelion is best known within the city. The tour was great - our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the chocolate making process and made the experience fun! We learned about cacao beans and even got to taste the cacao fruit - which was interesting. We then went through the whole process from bean to bar and walked through the factory which was a really neat experience. There were lots of samples along the way which I enjoyed. One of the chocolate makers gave us a sneak peak of an upcoming chocolate bar! The area is spacious and there was a lot of standing - so something to be mindful of if you sign up for a tour. We ended the tour in the front room where we were treated to a free hot chocolate to end our experience. The front room also had a section of samples of their current chocolate offerings. I was happy to try them all before selecting my to-go chocolate for the ride home. I opted for the Mexican hot chocolate and it was spicy and delicious. On my way out, I saw a group arrive for a chocolate-making class so it seems like they have a bunch of different class options! I would certainly come back here for a class or to show the tour to friends and family.

    I came in about an hour before closing and got the medium rectangular gift box as a Valentine's Day…read moregift. 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.
