Unfortunately, since they were in ice cream carts outside on a very sunny day, it was served slightly melted. We got a regular cup (came smaller than most ice cream shops) of their pistachio and Strauss yogurt, both really delicious, but tell me why did it cost $15 for that??? I'm sure the fair played a part in the price inflation, but I don't think any ice cream I've ever had can justify that price and I LOVE ice cream. It's really good ice cream but extremely overvalued. Not any better that ice cream shops that serve that size for $5-$6.

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.

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.

It's a primo example of direct trade - kosher - vegan - ethically sourced "bean-to-bar" chocolate, and the store includes samples with tasting notes (coffee & vino nerds will also geek) for each. What started in a food-truck is now recognized by Saveur, holding 8 brick & mortar spaces in the U.S. (SF + Vegas), more in Tokyo.

This cute little unique shop is filled with different memorabilia and you'll see Toys from so many different decades. It's super cool! Some are for sale, and some are just to enjoy looking at as you mentally travel through childhood memories The dessert offerings are pretty extensive. Not only do they offer a variety of ice cream flavors, but they also have cakes and other desserts as well. It's the perfect place to go for dessert. We opted for a slice of the red velvet cake and a scoop of the mango ice cream. The red velvet cake was tasty, but definitely not my favorite. The flavor profile just was a little off, and the slice was fairly thin considering the cost. The mango ice cream scoop also seemed like it was on the smaller side, but it was pretty tasty. A nice light mango flavor. Ice cream is creamy and definitely a nice way to enjoy a warm summer evening. The place is pretty busy, and while there is seating inside, there's not a lot of it. Most people seem to get their dessert to go. Cute little shop!
