What a gorgeous, unique shop! The sheer scale of chocolate selections here is impressive. The…read moremoment I stepped in the store, my jaw dropped. Right off the bat, the decor is so eye catching. I loved looking at the tins fixed on the wall with a variety of street names, chocolate brands, and landmarks. It makes for a very visually fun store. The chocolate choices here are unmatched. Every single chocolate I saw looked divine, and there are so many chocolate brands to choose from. There are also individual truffles for purchase. I visited on a Monday evening, and the store was completely empty, so I could take my time looking around. The brand Fossa caught my eye - they had chocolate bars with flavors like spicy mala, salted egg cereal, and satay sauce. Not only were there fascinating flavors, the packaging of every single bar I saw belonged in a museum. This felt like a store with high-quality, artisanal options, and I loved my visit!

The window has Louis Vuitton chocolate purse sculpture and other chocolate sculptures of shoes which you can also find inside. All of the chocolate and jelly was good. I would come here again for a custom sculpture, they are pricey, but definitely to precision and highly quality I haven't seen anywhere else in the Bay Area.

I was making good time on my way to SFO from San Jose so I decided to make another stop for…read morechocolate. I was frantically searching for a chocolatier off the 101 and saw Shekoh on Yelp in Palo Alto. I was worried that I would get some sticker shock but figured what the hell and made the turn off. I found parking around the corner and walked into a minimalist space where the truffles were the star of the show. It was so calm and serene and Chef Shekoh came from the back to help me make my choices. I really felt like the space was a reflection of her, calm with a lot of care taken to how things were presented. I decided to go with their 9 piece box instead of the 5 piece-it wasn't too much of a price difference. Of all the chocolates I came away with on this trip the ones here were like works of art. Beautifully coated, dark chocolate that paired so well with the flavors she put together.

I haven't set foot in Visitation Valley for so long since I been riding the 8 bus from downtown to…read moreCity College all the way back and forth. The only familiar place I once headed many times was Cow Palace. That place once hold The Great Dickens Christmas Fair yearly just as it also holds 626 Market. This was a good opportunity to try good places in Visitation Valley where I value at least one small local business. And The Good Chocolate was the perfect target. Judging by what's inside the entrance, I could've sworn that this chocolatier was closed. But if I were to open and get a good peek, a modest female worker was kind enough to let me in. Quite a tiny space to buy chocolate bars, at least I can fit right in to purchase one of them. Ranging from bite size to the regular chocolate bars, the highest percentage one can get is 65% Cacao. Despite the decent amount of flavonoids, one certain ingredient in each bars called "Erythritol" is sustainable enough to make up to a consumer such as myself. Not my favorite chocolatier, it was such a pleasant experience. I'm sure I'll be waiting for one magical cacao café to find its retail space throughout my hometown. If anyone likes chocolate bars that's 65% or lower, The Good Chocolate is right up your alley.

I just tried a little sample square because I was unsure if I was going to like it. Actually, it was pretty good. You can definitely tell it's not your standard chocolate bar, but it's still tasty. The almond square had a nice texture with little pieces throughout, but I'd still say it could use a bit more almond flavor. But not bad, and cool packaging as well.

The thing that attracted me first was the mixed taffy package in the window . So I wandered in they have lovely huge suckers , different taffy's , gummies .

So I got a nice sucker of course a package of mixed taffy's and some gummies for $20 . Very pleasant habit .

They didn't have any samples for you to try so it's a gamble to buy one. My friend and I ended up getting the smaller version it try it out first which was a small bar for $7.00. I didn't have anything to compare this to besides the shake shack Dubai drink and this was just a bar version of that . This was pretty good and it had the pistachio crunch. I left my car in the fridge and when I took it out , it was a little melty. So I recommend putting it on fridge until you bare ready to eat it. I'm going to go back and get the larger one for $20.00 in my next visit.

I like the style of the vendor with milk chocolate bars piled up perfectly. It's a shame that there's no dark chocolate nor white chocolate flavors. Talk about lack of variety. A sweet taste of milk chocolate covered pistachio filling is a same feeling as taking a bite at a Kit-Kat bar. Small bars: $7 each. Large bars: $20 each. Not a bad deal for this small unique vendor near the food court. While Westfield in Market St lost several retail stores, I'm hoping Stonestown Galleria doesn't suffer the same fate since few businesses closed down while new ones after Round 1 will soon pop up. I'm glad Pistachio Dubai Chocolates accepts cash.

Living in Denver, we rarely get the chance to visit one, so whenever we're in a city with a Teuscher location, it's practically mandatory for us to stop by. This time happened to be San Francisco, where we once again stocked up on their incredible assortment of dark chocolates. Our absolute favorite, hands down, is the dark chocolate pistachio -- rich, smooth, and dangerously addictive. Now, fair warning: this place isn't cheap. But you truly get what you pay for. The quality is unmistakably premium, and every piece feels thoughtfully crafted rather than mass-produced. The San Francisco shop itself is charming and inviting, and the staff has always been warm, friendly, and happy to help guide you through the selection. Highly recommend for any serious chocolate lover.
