Chocolate Factory & Coffee Shop - A Sweet Little Find Walking by on a hot day and needing a coffee, I stumbled upon this adorable spot -- a chocolate factory + coffee shop combo. They make all their chocolate in‑house, and it's 100% vegan, which is amazing. They offer truffles, "nibbles," chocolate‑covered nuts, and tons of different flavors. They even have little samples of each, which is such a nice touch. I went with the strawberry cream chocolate, and it was so tasty -- creamy, flavorful, and made with oat milk. Many of the chocolates you can sample are also available as truffle flavors, so it's fun to try a few before choosing. Sadly, I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and the espresso machine had just been cleaned, so they couldn't make espresso‑based drinks. I opted for an iced tea instead. They offer matcha, coffee, tea, and chocolate drinks, so there's plenty to choose from. I'd definitely come back for sweet treats or gifts. The wrapping is adorable, the name is intentional and memorable, and I love the story behind the brand. A charming little spot worth revisiting. read more

Omg. We walk in handicapped parking was great. Then the attitude. "I'm closing in 4 minutes or did she say 6 minutes. Ok someone is having a bad day. !!!! . If you're the owner or employee of this place then shut it down. So sad when u do this to potential customers and we are true chocolacholics. Management listen up. Your vibes that this employee gave us was just too terrible and very un -California attitude. Well the figs are ok. Not amazing. read more

Nibble Chocolate - Hazelnuts inside. - Vegan Near Me - San Diego, California

The location might be a little odd but don't be concerned until you walk inside!! The lab is visible and busy; so sparking clean too! It's on the very busy corner of Mission bay Blvd and Garnet!! You first smell the aroma of chocolate and it's so enticing! Stepping inside the charming interior is well designed with product everywhere you look! Espresso machine is out front and they use beans from Columbia roasted at Acento in Point Loma! The espresso drinks are perfection! Many flavors to choose from too! It's the perfect spot to find gifts for any occasion. Service is above and beyond; Renee represents the brand exceptionally well. Do stop in to see the process! They have a free parking lot and ADA easy entry. No restroom unfortunately. read more

What a local treasure. These truffles and chocolate bars all made locally in San Diego make for perfect hosting gifts. The staff was so friendly and informative. The pistachio truffle is absolutely divine. Their cute "New Mama" bar was a perfect gift for my friend who recently had a baby. read more

This little hidden gem makes their own chocolate! They have a drink menu also and I ordered their dark chocolate. It is the BEST hot chocolate I've ever had in my life. There is 42 grams of dark chocolate in a cup and you can add flavor shots also. I drank it so fast that I was sad I didn't buy the chocolate powder they were selling so I can make it home myself. They had chocolate samples and you can taste the subtle difference. I wanted to buy everything but I walked out with a couple of dark chocolate bars. Prices are very reasonable for this artisanal treat. I often meet friends at the park and ride and this location is so close. I am coming here every time I make it down to San Diego. Casual. A large selection of handmade chocolate. Service is great. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Very cocoa forward chocolate! Certainly craft & bolder. The drinks were really good! Vegan options only, so opted for coconut milk. Had my doubts, but was pleasantly surprised. The actual chocolates & truffles are craft, and priced accordingly. Staff is nice & helpful, prompt & offers recommendations. The shop itself is cute, with an open concept chocolate factory & a wee patio. Parking & location is a bit of a pill, tiny strip mall w/ 1 driveway. read more

Love coming to Old Town specifically for their cafe de olla coffee! Such a cute little chocolate shop in the heart of old town (fiesta village). Service is always fast and friendly. They offer chocolate samples, and you can purchase their chocolate or pastries as well! read more

It was by happenstance that I stumbled upon Nibble, but on purpose that I continue to go back. I love dates and their chocolate covered dates are amazing. They have helped me curb my sugar addiction. The employees in every store (yes, I have been to every location) are not only kind but willing to answer questions. I even have my family members going. read more

Cuuuuuute café! Lots of options. Ingredients are fresh and mostly organic. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Great spot to hang while you wait or are having your car serviced. Quiet enough to get work done or study. read more

Service was A+. Very informative and welcoming. A good conversationalist. I was surprised to learn that this place was 100% vegan. I should have tried the truffles but I had the vegan pan au chocolat because i was so curious how a croissant can be made without butter... it wasnt what i wanted. Lol. I need butter for that crisp and lusciousness. The pastries are imported from La Mesa. The drink was fine but didn't knock my socks off. I definitely need to try the chocolate truffles next time since this is a chocolate factory read more

Their coffee is my favorite! I love the mocha (obviously) but the cafe de olla is 100/10! The drinks are always fast, the service is great and the store is packed with yummy chocolate with tasters! read more

We loved our experience and coffee! Alex was our barista and offered us amazing suggestions and information about Nibble's vegan menu.

If you're in the mood for some amazing chocolate that doesn't have fillers or nasty ingredients check out the NEW Nibble Chocolate location on Garnett, going into Pacific Beach at the old Pack Method Prep. This location just opened about a week ago so any reviews from prior are for other locations. I enjoyed this location because the Old Town one is just so busy and parking can be a pain. This location has easy and free parking and not busy. The young lady at the cash register was friendly and answered our questions about products. I got one of their chocolate drinks (chocolate horchata) and added espresso with oat milk and it was delicious and creamy. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. There's samples to try their amazing chocolates before you buy. It is definitely worth a try! read more

Nibble Chocolate - Latte - Vegan Near Me - San Diego, California

This is one of my new favorite places to get uniquely SD gifts for out-of-town friends and family. They sell an assortment of dark chocolate bars and treats like truffles. I highly recommend gifting their assorted truffle box, as well as their four-pack taste of bars. The Mexican chocolate truffle was a highlight for me--it was a smooth blend of pepper, dark chocolate, and cinnamon. You can barely tell that their ganache is made with cashews because it's so creamy and decadent. The storefront also serves hot/cold chocolates, coffees, and teas, as well as locally roasted coffee beans and other hot beverage-related paraphernalia. Thanks to the friendly worker behind the counter who patiently answered all my questions and gave great recommendations! read more

Love the champorrado. It was smooth and not too sweet but decadent. I didnt get to biuy chocolate but was able to sample them. The madagascar very dark was excellent and not too bitter. I will make an effort to come back. Cozy atmosphere and friendly customer service. I recommend this chocolate shop to others. read more

Conveniently located near my mechanic. Parking lot is tiny, but they do have one directly in front of the shop. Outdoor seating available and no indoor seating. Interior is clean and well organized. Guy behind the counter was super nice and offered samples if I wanted to try any. They sell various chocolates and drinks. Drink was delicious, but a little pricey for the size. My drink came hot and the cup they use is not very well insulated. After about a minute it ends up being too hot to hold the cup. read more

Great little shop with lots of ambience and wonderful service. Loved that they had vegan pastries and chocolates. Our new favorite place, when we're in old towne to buy our pastries and chocolates. Yummy! read more

Quickie 12/16 Update: I was dating a guy at the time I wrote this review. He harshly criticized my spending habits for chocolate. Knowing he would never buy me quality candy, and I am happily no longer with him. Saw their stall at the Little Italy farmer's market a couple of weeks ago and had to return. It's just that good! The bars are organic, single origin, and contain two ingredients each: sugar and cacao nibs. They're perfectly tempered and the varying flavors come from where the chocolate was sourced. They have 77% dark and 85% dark. I have a serious habit of eating raw cacao nibs so I chose 85%. If you go to the stall and taste test each one, you will notice how bitter or smooth each bar is, and be able to compare the flavors. I loved all 4 of the bars. I highly recommend this chocolate! Pros: - quality ingredients - organic/ fair-trade - taste tests - nice packaging Cons: - I haven't been to the brick and mortar spot to know read more

Nibble Chocolate - You can choose any 4 single-origin bars for 20$ for the flight- I got one of each country at 85% dark. - Vegan Near Me - San Diego, California

Wish I could enjoy it but not at this location Went to correct addresses waste of gas. Giving one star because I spent 10 minutes driving around office complex Now to return home disappointed and phone almost dead read more

Nibble Chocolate - Not here. Went out of my way no longer hetr - Vegan Near Me - San Diego, California

What an awesome store! I found this on yelp actually while on a trip to San Diego. They offer samples if you want to try any. They also have some drinks and snacks, pastries and the like. I purchased six chocolate bars in different flavors- coffee, strawberry, raspberry with salt, and mango! The mango sounded really interesting. The worker was really nice and offered me samples to try and recommendations. One thing to know, is they do have some cross contamination with nuts here, so if you have an allergy (like myself) take that caution. I gave these away as gifts and everyone loved them! read more

This is the best place for chocolate. The ambiance is great and the customer service is top notch.

I'm obsessed with Nibble chocolate. I stumbled upon nibble when I was visiting San Diego and had their sample at Little Italy farmer's market. I bought a pack of 4 chocolates right away and kept ordering online since then (if you buy 4 or more chocolates, shipping is free). Highly recommend this to anyone who loves chocolate! read more

I'm so sad I didn't know about this place sooner. I used to go down to old town to eat - probably walked by 4 or 5 times and had no idea the chocolate/pastries/drinks were vegan, so I never stopped in! I'm SO glad someone told me about it because it's the best chocolate around. I love the powder for hot chocolates with oat milk and the pastries... always amazing. Best dessert option for miles. read more

Nibble is at Farmer's Markets in SD. I have found them at Little Italy Mercado and PB. They sell each bar for $6, or you can buy a nicely packaged 4-pack for $20. I highly recommend the 4-pack -- aside from the $avings and cute package, it allows you to sample and compare the cacao beans from different countries. Each bar is made from the same two ingredients: cacao beans and cane sugar. But because the cacao beans are sourced from different countries, they all taste different. When you sample them, they'll typically give you the least dark (most sugar), but if you're a dark chocolate lover, ask to sample the darker versions. Great for gifts! read more

Wish i could give zero stars. Really disappointed! Tasted the chocolate at the little Italy farmers market & purchased severel $6 squares. Got them home and the were rotten. So gross! Very upset fell for the con. read more

Seriously tho. The chocolate is amazing. The vibes are great. Nate the great is the nicest guy. Please try the Brazilian chocolate and the new flavor of hot coco. Madagascar. Visit this place. Try a free sample. You will be glad you did :) The location I visited was in old town. Nate the great is a employee there. read more

Hands-down the best San Diego chocolate, and among the best anywhere, and this from a connoiseur who has tasted far and wide. Nice alternative shape to the bar as well. read more

This hit my top favorite chocolates really quick. We LOVE the ingredients list, learning about the cocoa from different regions and the small chunks that are easy to break off. Can't wait to get more! read more

This dark chocolate is so delicious and flavorful, it is exactly what chocolate is meant to taste like. Nibble Chocolate uses just two ingredients (Organic Cocoa beans and Organic cane sugar) making their chocolate all vegan, organic, gluten-free, soy free, the list goes on... WOW quality chocolate made here in San Diego! Check them out at local shops, markets and farmers markets listed on their website. read more

I've been buying this chocolate for almost a year now and can only says it's great. There are only 2 ingredients and it's low calories. What more do you want from chocolate! I've tried every flavor and strength plus the Nibblelitos (bite size pieces that melt in your mouth). My favorite is the 72% strength in any flavor. That being said, their Columbia Limited Edition was fantastic. BTW, by switching to this chocolate and making some other life style changes, I've lost about 12 pounds. I do eat a piece of Nibble 5 out of 7 days/week because I am a chocoholic. I don't understand the other reviewer's comments about the chocolate being bad. Like I said, I've tried it all and eat it regularly and it's been excellent. I've also introduced other people to the chocolate and they all like it. I say, give it a try and I think you will be quite happy!! read more

This is a must stop in Old Town! The chocolate espresso is sooo good, and the brownies are AMAZING! We also tried a delicious marbled cookie and it was really soft and yummy. Perfect stop after lunch for coffee and desert! read more

Amazing. Went to my old neighborhood,Old Town,and saw their really cute shop,behind Fiesta de Reyes and next to Cafe del Sol.
