Once upon a time we joined in on one of Isabella's classes at her manufacturing facility. We…read morelearned about her chocolate making processes, travel experience and how she acquires her favorite & top tier product/ingredients that she personally selects & has familial and cultural connections to. Since then she is continuing to produce products and flavors that live up to the Dallmann name! Definitely Gourmet Quality!!! Isabella and her staff are true artists when it comes down to creating mini art pieces with unique flavors to choose from. You get to customize your order online (as this establishment is not a storefront) make your payment and it will be shipped to you. By special appointment only you can do a pick up. I suggest reaching out to them in order to arrange that. Her business facility is in an industrial complex shared with other family owned businesses and mainly this establishment is only for her private preparations of her delicious creations! Kept very clean and functional! We've been sporadic as customers ever since we got to pipe in the Grenache ourselves and sample the chocolate making process & yummy goodness! She's got very creative packaging too. So a special occasion can be very personalized too. Dark, milk, and even vegan options available. You've a choice to swap or double up on a flavor choice if she happens to run out of a particular selection. Truly spectacular products. You might even see them at a chocolate fest, or even wine or food pairing type event elsewhere! This time we tried a bar in conjunction too a chocolate box and my daughter is happy with it! I mean who doesn't love chocolate for any occasion but February is just that more special in our home. Thanks Bella and staffers! You're the best!

It's not your normal store front, they make and put chocolate boxes together on-site, so it was very interesting and I'm glad I went!

You can tell everything is handcrafted with real care. If you're looking for top-quality chocolate from a local San Marcos small business that actually takes pride in what they make, this is the place. The truffles are fantastic and there's a great variety to choose from. Dayleen clearly knows her craft, and it shows in every bite. Highly recommend I'll definitely keep coming back.

I got to try a Macaron making class and it was a fun experience. It was supposed to take 2.5 - 3 hours. The other party was late so we started about 10 minutes late and we went way over 3 hours. The class is very hands on. You get detailed instructions, and a template for the Macaron shapes. The instructor is the owner, and she is Cordon Bleu trained and loves making Macarons and Chocolate. She will tell you all about her schooling, background, experiences, and the history of the Macaron. The instructor will walk you through the process step by step, explaining why you have to be precise and follow each step completely and in order if you want to get good results. She also explains how you may need to add a little extra of an ingredient based on the humidity, the science behind it, etc. You make the Macaron shells and you also make Italian butter cream filling to put in the Macaron. You will get 14-16 delicious Macarons depending on how you follow the template design setup. Enjoy my photos.

I especially love their firecracker chocolate- spicy and filled with pop rocks! They had a post holiday sale --50% off their center table. The chocolate flavors are so fun and the chocolate tastes smooth and creamy- churro, sprinkles, s'mores and lots of other fun flavors! The staff is super nice and there's a big window you can see the factory in action.

Firecracker, Churro, Honeycomb, and Spicy Maya! Tastes so good!

Cinnamon roll - best Ive had out of all the ones I've had in CA and AZ. They do not cut corners and even use brown butter for their cinnamon sugar filling! Cruffins - fun to look at and fun to eat; can't go wrong with any of them! Cookies - white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate chip, gluten-less chocolate cookies ... now these are cookies! If I had to bet, I'm pretty sure they weigh as much or even more than the famous NY Levain cookies.

Came on a Saturday noon, and it was not too busy. All the pastries were laid out for you to see and…read morethey all looked super yummy. The store is small and there's no seating. The pastries are definitely on the higher-priced side and we weren't too hungry, so we opted for the strawberry croissant since it was the last one left. I was hoping to try their cinnamon roll, as it looked amazing and had a selection of flavors to pick from. The lady who helped us was friendly and packed the croissant for me, and we took it to go. The strawberry croissant had some vanilla cream along with strawberry slices in the center cut of the croissant. The cream was nice, light, and not overly sweet, which tasted great with the strawberry. The croissant was a little disappointing, as it wasn't flaky, very dense, and on the softer side. It still had a good buttery flavor but overall it was mid. As we continued eating, I ended up chewing on something plasticky, and I believe it might have been the front cut of a plastic piping bag. I'm glad it was a fairly small piece or else I probably would have swallowed it...It is disappointing that a big piece of plastic ended up in the cream where no one had caught it during the process of making it.
