    I'm a sucker for see's candy. I was waiting to meet sonmeone so I stopped in to grab a piece of chocolate. It always smells so good in the stores which isn't surprising because chocolate confections.. I wandered around looking at the very tempting holiday offerings and decided on a marshmallow tree. The staff is always so friendly and helpful and this was no exception. I was offered a piece of dark or milk chocolate and was given a chocolate butterscotch sample. Yum. The chocolate I purchased was $4 which is quite pricey but I expect the high prices from see's and only stop in occasionally. My favorites are scotchmallows so that's usually what I get.

    my mom and I came in to just get a bag of the coffee beans and when we walked in Janette was very kind, welcoming, and very accommodating, and gave us some delicious samples, and was an absolute angel to us. Thank you Janette for your kindness and hospitality!

    Stopped in here real quickly after having dinner right next door. It was 5 minutes till Closing and Reyna assisted us. We got to choose samples between milk or dark chocolate. I chose the milk chocolate caramel patty. Yummy! She chuckled with me that I chose that...especially because when I said "go figure I usually choose a brittle or taffy type candy even when I have braces right now!" We got a few candies to bring home & a 5 off $40 deal for our next visit. It has super cute Halloween and fall packaging and the place is neat, organized and very clean. Holidays we always come in for the "Bridge mix"! So we'll be back pretty soon.

    Easter chocolate!

    Chocolate!!!!! So much chocolate!!!!!! Very old school shop with all the classics. This place is clean and friendly and very nice. The reason for the low stars is the menu and taste. I am not a huge fan of See's so this review is really about my personal opinion of the chocolate and varieties. I am not impressed with the types, sizes and look and feel of the chocolate. it just feels very routine and same old chocolate. If you are looking for a old, quaint, nice, clean, friendly chocolate shop, this is the place for you!

They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

The decor and setting is cute and quirky, including cow sculptures hanging upside down from the ceiling. There were only a couple other visitors when we arrived, as it was near opening time. Our dishes took a whopping 35 minutes to be ready, and service was not very friendly nor helpful. Luckily, the music playing through the speakers added a nice vibe to the place, songs like Our House by Madness and Can't Fight This Feeling. We ordered the brunch pizza (with eggs cooked overeasy) and the breakfast flatbread which looked almost identical when served, as well as an iced mocha. The quality of the pizza was pretty average, and the eggs were slightly overcooked. The drink was really good, made fresh, with a smooth taste and a nice sweetness to it, the plastic cup coated in chocolate sauce. It tasted more like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee, which I personally enjoyed. They typically serve gelato here, but it would not be ready till almost two hours after opening time. So no milkshakes or cold desserts were available in the morning this past Sunday (no worries, Ghirardelli is just a block away). I appreciate the variety of menu items offered here. But they really should communicate online that their gelato's not ready till two hours into the day. If there's one thing that irks me about an establishment, it's failure to communicate appropriately. Even though our recent visit was somewhat disappointing, I still gave 3 stars, assuming this was an off day for them.

They had some conchas and pastries too, all gluten-free. Didn't try them but they look promising! Apparently they offer free chocolate tasting, but the barista/cashier was busy making our drinks and had a couple of customers waiting so we didn't bother. They offer a variety of truffles and chocolate boxes.

What I really enjoyed was the thick bottom layer of chocolate mousse, which isn't typical to find in tiramisu/tiramisu like desserts. This, along with the layers of cake, contrasted well with the cream layers, which I found out incorporates whole eggs (traditional in authentic tiramisu recipes). There is a lot to love about this $11.50 cake slice, and in my opinion, is better than Extraordinary Dessert's Tort-imasu. Only little thing I'd change is more coffee-soak on the cake layers but that's nitpicking. Can't wait to come back and try their carrot cake and bread pudding!
