Iris Delights Artisanal Chocolates - 16 piece - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

Nothing like chocolate to turn a frown upside down! My friend was running late to meet me so I stopped into this adorable little chocolate shop. So glad I did! The space is cool, clean and inviting, and the phrase "eye candy" is absolutely pun intended. Every piece of luscious chocolate is beautifully molded and brilliantly decorated. There's an extensive range of flavors from predictable (caramel) to super creative (wasabi ganache). There are a couple of tiny tables if you want to sit and wait for a friend. I enjoyed chatting with the counter staff about how the chocolates are made (complex) and the other gluten free snacks, like cookies, that are available. If you're looking for a gift or treating yourself to something special, this is a great place to go. read more

The chocolates are exquisite and worth checking out, but hurry! The shop will permanently close on Saturday, 9/13/25. I'll be making my final visit this week. The shop is cute and conveniently located in strip mall with parking. The chocolates look decadent and taste equally amazing. The flavors on offer are delicious, including the truffles, bars, and barks. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the shop front has a single table for guests. read more

My husband knows chocolates are the way to my heart and took me here after he stumbled upon it when he went to the post office one day. The quality of the chocolate is definitely top tier in our little neighborhood of Tierrasanta. My favorite is their potato chip chocolate bar and of course, the different flavors of bon bons. Probably the cutest and truly unique designs that look painstakingly complex - I still don't understand how art can be so delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I'm sorry this chocolatier is closing. They have wonderful chocolates! They are small and service is excellent.

Really cool, small boutique chocolate shop that I've been wanting to check out for some time now. I finally got the chance to do so today when I bought a sampler box as a Christmas present for a good friend of mine. I initially told the girl behind the counter to pick out the chocolates for me, but ended up picking them myself because she hesitated. I'm guessing there aren't a lot of customers who ask that of the workers. I didn't mind. I had to buy some of the bark for myself. It looked too tempting to pass up. I really liked the design of the box and even the little carrying case that came with the box. One of these days, I'll have to try the chocolates for myself. This place seems really cool. read more

How lucky were we at camp to try some of these delightful Artisan bites! A friend brought a box of 9 pieces, a variety and a bag of dark chocolate, orange bark. The piece I had at camp was the strawberry and Mexican Hot Chocolate. Well, on my way home from the campgrounds I had to stop by the store. This will make a perfect, tasty gift for my sister that watched the grandkids while I went camping. I purchased a 4pc (she's watching what she's consuming) and for myself I got a bag of the dark chocolate honeycomb bark. The choice I selected for the 4 pc were, Lemon, Mexican Hot Chocolate Strawberry and the Vanilla Bean. I would love to pair these chocolates with some port and sweet wine. Then I saw they could be paired with Mead, wait, whaat?! Iris Delights has a quite a selection. These artisan chocolates would make for great gifts! I got to chat with Iris the owner as I was making my selection. A friendly soul to do business with. You will find the store just off the 52. The parking lot is tight and fills up quickly due to the other businesses in the same area. Don't let that discourage you from trying out these beautiful and tasty delights! Come check it out. ** On my visit, masks are required upon entry. read more

Reporting in again after a year....and Iris continues to amaze me with her fabulous flavors! This year my obsession is her chocolate covered mangos. Bought a few bags and handed them out on a flight to Hawaii to the attendants to enjoy and by the end of the flight we had every single attendant thanking us! They all said it was the best chocolate mango they have ever tasted. I totally agree. Iris takes such great care in her work and it shows. I am a fan for life. read more

Iris Delights Artisanal Chocolates - 16 pieces December 2022 - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

Finally stopped in here a couple of weeks ago after passing by it many times. No chocolate samples, but I did get to sample a bit of the Kahlua cream ganache in one of the truffles which was so yummy. I got a box of 9 truffles (I Kahlua cream, passion fruit, miso caramel, Mexican hot chocolate, and hazelnut crunch). All of them were fantastic, but my favorite was the miso caramel because it was so unique. It is pricy but given that all of them are handmade, it's reasonable to pay for the love and care that goes into each one. Would definitely come back here for special occasion gifts and to splurge on myself. read more

Iris has the best chocolates. Each time I try a new flavor it becomes my favorite until she makes something new; then that becomes my new favorite. Once you taste her chocolates you will never be satisfied with any other chocolates. Iris Delights are the bomb!!! read more

The things Iris makes are like what the faeries would use to trick you into staying forever. Delicious and so beautiful. The chocolate here is amazing. The flavors are diverse and surprisingly authentic. The bonbons are just as colorfully shiny as you see in pictures. The staff are attentive and very friendly. It's a clean, very functional space with a nice instagram wall. The monthly rotations include some incredible seasonal choices. The salted caramel ganache is transcendent. It's not filled with caramel, but the filling tastes just like it. read more

Seriously perfect. The chocolates look almost too good to eat, and taste even better than they look. I stumbled upon them when I went to the post office one day, and have been a fan ever since. Their flavor combinations are extraordinary. Every time I come in they have something new to try, and I'm always delighted. They're my new go-to for gifts for every adult in my life, and I always make sure to treat myself when I'm in there, too. Plus, the service is amazing. Literally wouldn't change a thing about them read more

We love great chocolate. Living near Belgium for a decade taught us to appreciate excellent chocolate. We saw the review in the newspaper, and tried them out. Iris welcomed us and gave us a taste of chocolate genache that was balanced and a wonderful texture. We bought a large box to share at Christmas with our family. Well... The chocolates are beautiful, with transfer colors and patterns. The chocolate exterior is shiny, flavorful and snaps when you bite into it. But the inside wins top honors. We tried the candy cane ones, and they were so wonderful. The interior was beautifully creamy and minty at just the right level. The Mexican Chocolate was spicy and just the right level of cinnamon. The marzipan was creamy and spoke of almond. The fruit flavors were bold and fresh. There were a variety of interiors that were not ganache, including peanut butter and brownie, that had a lovely texture with crunch, and wonderful flavor. Marc and Jill read more

Iris delights chocolates: Really freaking good. The hazelnut truffle was to die for (and had a really cool innovative flavor, try one and you'll know ;) trust me) We were greeted enthusiastically as soon as we came in the door. The woman behind the register gave us a tour of their offerings (we went with the 4 chocolate mixed box). Super helpful, very friendly, and it's so cute inside! I love that you can see the marble slab where the chocolates are poured out and molded. Will definitely be back! Way worth the price to support a fun and delicious small business read more

The chocolates looked better than they tasted. Mind you, I might be a bit of a chocolate snob. I was expecting something more refined. The chocolate here is good and pretty, but there is a smoothness in taste that it just didn't hit. I only tried a box of 4, but they were the 4 that the salesperson recommended most. Might be worth a try if you're in the area visiting the post office like I was, but I wouldn't make a special trip for these, personally. read more

Dear God. Is chocolate this good actually legal? Shouldn't it be some kind of controlled substance you have to get government ID's for? Until it is, I'm going to be eating as much of it as I can! I was lucky to run into one of Iris Delight's table events and fell head-over-heels for the dark chocolate with salted rosemary caramel. I had one free sample and was hooked. Since then I've enjoyed the mead-infused chocolates (the habanero mead infused dark chocolate truffle was my favorite) and the recent cider pairing collaboration with Newtopia. I'm not a fruit-chocolate person but the strawberry dark chocolate ganache has made a believer out of me. My fella, who can be pretty blase about foodie stuff, made the square-inch chocolate-covered peanut butter brownie-bite last a full five minutes. For a full hour afterwards, he would bring up that single piece of chocolate--"God that chocolate was good,""Holy f&*$ing %$#! that chocolate was good," and even, "I can't believe I'm still thinking about that chocolate." The company offers a monthly subscription box as well as text notifications for what chocolates are available which I HIGHLY recommend signing up for. It's like getting little chocolate love notes! Every batch I've gotten so far has been outstanding, and even flavors I was a little wary of turned out to be sensational. Here is where you can sign up for the alerts: https://irisdelights.com/how-to-order/#signup_ If the link doesn't work, go to the "Order" page on the website and scroll down to "Get Updates". You can either get it delivered or set up an appointment to pick up the chocolates at Iris's industrial kitchen--I recommend this if you're local because the smell of the place alone is worth the trip. Bonus: the only thing more delightful than the chocolates is Iris herself! She is a super creative and kind chocolate wizard and you would be crazy not to buy these chocolates! read more

My Wife stopped in yesterday, was the 1st time she was able to get there during operating hours. She had a nice visit and came away with some great treats, 4 chocolates and a bag of dark chocolate orange peel bark (will get to that). Of the 4 assorted chocolates, our favotites were the Passion Fruit and the latte. The peanut butter and the marzipan were good but did not stand out like the others. I do not like cold chocolate, but felt these could use a little time in the fridge to cool off, maybe it was just hot though. Will have to get more and test! About the Dark Chocolate Orange Peel Bark. It was amazing. Just really really good. And if you have a splash of Elijah Craig small batch? Even better, great pairing! Will be back again soon I hope. The hours are short for a work day. read more

Amazing and addictive! Happily, we don't live nearby but we drive by far more often than is good for us.

I absolutely love Iris Delights! I am vegan and it's obvious this place ensured they cater to those who prefer dairy-free and egg-free consumers such as myself. The Dark Chocolate Raspberry and Vanilla Bon Bons are to die for! They also offer fruit jellies. And I should mention that they are amazingly beautiful... a work of Art! Attention vegans and/or plant-based folks... check this place out and you won't be disappointed! read more

The chocolates are amazing and everyone, especially Iris, is so welcoming and friendly. I bring my kids and they always talk with them kindly, which means a lot to me as a mom.

I was getting coffee at Industrial Grind Coffee and happened to park in front of this Iris Delights. The catchy decor caught my eye and I decided to go in. I was extremely delighted to learn EVERYTHING in the shops is gluten free and they have a couple vegan options as well. I love chocolate and a severe gluten intolerance so finding this place was meant to be. The owner has a gluten intolerance and the staff was very knowledgable about any other allergens. The chocolate is neatly presented in a case where all the ingredients are clearly marked. The designs are stunning and the taste is by far the best I've had in San Diego. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the chocolate. I ordered some right away for my mother who has celiac and lives in Colorado. Iris contacted me directly and answered my questions about shipping. She even gave me some recommendations for other gluten free bakeries! My mother was astonished at the design and taste of the chocolates and loved being able to enjoy them, without the concern of being glutened. I will definitely be returning for their seasonal Fall flavors. read more
