Some flavors: Ube Dubai Chocolate Hot Chocolate Pecan filled Dulce de Leche Cherry-white Chocolate Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Raise (Vegan & Gluten Free) Orange Confetti Lemon Curd Flavors do rotate but there are a few permanent ones because they're too popular. My favorites are the hot chocolate, Dubai, Pecan filled Dulce de Leche and banana Biscoff. When fresh, they have the slight crisp on the edge and soft center. Great for afternoon pick-me-ups and everyone that I've brought so far has enjoyed them as well.

So glad I…read morepopped in to take a peek as I ended up getting a few cookies to share with my family All the choices sounded so delicious so I had to ask the baker Kat (who is also the co-founder of this sweet shop) what was her favorite and the popullar choices. She recommended the Lemon Curd as she mentioned she loves lemon. I love lemon too so I had to purchase that. I was able to maintain some self-control and got a couple other cookies: Dubai and Banana Biscoff. Both the Banana Biscoff and Lemon Curd had a soft filling, while the Dubai had a crunchy filling. All cookies were delicious. They were such a big hit at home with my family. Cookies were not overly sweet and had wonderful texture: crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with bold flavors. What a neighborhood gem! I'll definitely be returning.

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.

The man working, who I assume was the owner / chocolatier, was very kind and helpful. Myself and two friends got the 20 box and he gave us one piece for free. I got the mint, espresso, dark chocolate and coconut and all were super tasty. I want to go back! It's a very cute, homemade shop and I highly recommend checking it out!

Me: I'm not falling for the Dubai chocolate! I pride myself on never having Dubai chocolate!…read moreAlso me: this Dubai pistachio knafeh cookie is very good. I've walked by Cookie Chachi on the way to and from tennis a few times. It's located across the street from Portsmouth Square and though it offers no seating, looks very cute and there's plenty of outdoor seating options nearby. (Also it's so good to take to-go.) I picked up two cookies--1 Dubai pistachio knafeh and 1 toffee chocolate. Both were delicious--they were unique, with different spices and complex flavor. They were chewy and fresh, even though I didn't eat them/share them for a few hours. They didn't feel overpowering or overwhelming despite their large size. It's minority woman-owned and service was helpful and warm (just like the cookies!) It's a pricey cookie, but it's delicious and unique. It's not something I can make at home!

I'm a fiend for cookies, and when I saw this place I just had to give it a try. With such limited…read morehours it's so hard to, but glad I got a chance! It's a super small location, and they clearly make the cookies elsewhere and package it in super premium packaging to sell for a premium price too. 4.5/5 Dubai Pistachio Knafeh was really nice and you could really tell all the flavors: pistachio, spin pasty dough, and the chocolate chip cookie flavor. It was on the doughy side, but pop it into a toaster oven for 1-2 min and it was as if you got it fresh from the kitchen! I'm very intrigued to the try their other flavors now that I had the one that was their best selling currently. It was a whooping $7, so definitely a premium place for just being a storefront where they sell packaged cookies, but it's clear that it's high quality!

Our family first discovered Teuscher years ago during a trip to Boston, and we instantly fell in…read morelove with the chocolate. 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.

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.
