One of my favorite dessert places in the city! They always have innovative desserts that I've never had before. We had a "I'm nuts about you" and a "My ultraviolet darling" - both so cute and very instagram-worthy! I loved the texture and the taste of both desserts. "I'm nuts about you" was a hazelnut based cake, with the perfect balance of crunch and moist cake, while "my own ultraviolet darling" was a passion fruit/white chocolate mousse - it's the perfect tart/sweetness ratio! I always look forward to coming back here - This place has never disappointed me and I would always recommend to my friends. read more

Stunning looking desserts! Chocolates were good. Price was typical for the type of chocolate. Decent selection of desserts and chocolates. Place itself was around homes and if you didn't search for it, you wouldn't find it. Other than that, this is a great find! read more

Sixth Course is definitely the best dessert place I've ever tried! We got 2 of the chocolate truffles, the need brownie points and Monkey Business...and we devoured the plates! First, the desserts are just absolutely beautiful to look at and the taste is just honestly next level. Second, everything about this place is so creative, even the names of the desserts! I loved the puns! And third, to make it even better, the staff and owner (gianina) are soo kind and you can tell how passionate they are about what they do! Officially my favorite dessert place in SF!! Can't wait to try more! read more

For my first visit it was ok. But I'll have to return to find something I want. Sixth Course is a small dessert cafe that features a dessert counter and a few seats. It's not a cafe, nor a place to get anything savory. The shop offers 3 dessert cases. First is chocolates and macaroons, second is pastries, third is frozen gelato bars. The chocolates and macaroons did look good but nothing special. High quality chocolates are easy to find in San Francisco. The pastries were stunning to look at. Being a former pastry chef I appreciated the art. What I found annoying was the cost of each pastry was $14-16. And the size was designed for 2 (or one large appetite). These are the restaurant style deserts you no longer see in restaurants. Also the flavors were very polarizing (violet, walnut, etc). Nothing simple or that played on familiar tastes (butterscotch, salted caramel, citrus). What I wanted to see was a small tart, cake, cheesecake, etc. or about $8. FYI another place with similar high quality pastries is Craftsman and Wolves. The gelato bars were cute. I would have loved a scoop of gelato but that didn't seem to be an option. Cookies, tarts, candies, espresso drinks, and scoopable gelato are all items missing that would help bring in customers. Sixth course reminds me of a place that belongs on Santana Row, for high brow clients to spend 10 minutes swooning over the name with the staff, 10 minutes asking what every ingredient to every pastry is, then to say there on a diet and walk away with nothing or one chocolate. read more

Been going here for a couple of years... This place is sooooo good! Everything from cakes to pastries to ice cream and chocolates. (The truffles are to die for) You can tell lots of love goes into everything they sell. Do yourself a favor and indulge - try it on your own and I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do. Service is A+ read more

Pricey but each Chocalate, macaron, cake, and gelato made with incredible love and care. The flavor combinations are so yummy and unique. The fillings inside of the mousse cake are so delicious and go beyond the cake texture. Order: Couple of caramelized truffle chocalates. Churro Gelato was amazing! Lavender and sesame macaron. Mango and purple velvets mousse cake. read more

Definitely got attracted to here by the variety of the dessert and the beautiful photos. But have to say the presentation of the food is way better than the actual taste. We tried the olive oil and honey sesame gelato popsicles, a sun kissed cake and pear & rosemary sorbetto. All of them either tasted average (honey sesame taste pretty much just like sesame and chocolate) or distinct but weird at the same time (the sorbetto tasted oddly sour and olive oil flavor can not even describe by words). Price point definitely on the high end. Split with a friend but still paid $15. I would probably come here for a tiny cake for a friend's birthday but don't think would come back otherwise. read more

Came after dinner: I had the: 1. Home Sweet Gnome: delicious. The almond jaconde was delicious. You could really taste the fruitiness of the cranberry in the chocolate mousse. And the mushroom is a white chocolate bonbon. I just wish there was more for $16. 2. Peppermint chip gelato bar: standard gelato. Not much space inside. It's mostly a take out place. You can sit and face a wall while you eat it. TL/DR: the home sweet gnome was delicious. And the peppermint chip gelato bar was your standard gelato. I just wish sizes were a bit larger and it wasn't so expensive. read more

This place is dessert heaven! Gelato pops, cakes, macaroons, truffles and more. Everything is so eloquent and designed to perfection. The desserts are placed in glass cases as if you were looking at art in a museum. PROS: Variety of beautiful desserts and treats to choose from. Wonderful customer service! CONS: Prices for these desserts can be quite steep for the amount that you get. TIPS: Take your time to look through each glass case and see which item appeals to you. They have so many fun unique flavors! read more

I've been coming here for a while now, and while I am giving this place five stars I do have a complaint though I'll save that for the end. First, is the little shop and the ambiance. You've got seating lined up against the wall sectioned off into two seaters (for you date folks) heading straight down till you reach a big ol window wall that allows you to peak into the world of these amazing crafters of heavenly delights. There you could sit if you want to enjoying what they've made you while watching them make MORREEE good stuff. Then we got the good stuff, their Gelato pops...ooph. I'll be loading a picture of my two favorites, the Mango Chile and Churro. Considering I've been coming here for a while, I remember my initial tastings when they first started to release these and man oh man were they good. On point to what you expect it to taste like. Well, I tried them again recently, and as if it wasn't enough that they tasted good before, the pastry chef has upped her game and elevated them to perfection. They have many differently options of these bad boys to suit everyones different palates, so, come after dinner on a date night and I assure you you will be complemented for your good taste (make sure to pass it on to the people behind the counter). Lastly, you have their little work of art cakes, and individual truffle delights, try what you like and you won't be disappointed. But also venture into new discoveries cause you might like where Sixth Course takes you. One thing not advertised is their sleek amazing tasting cakes that are made to order. Aside from looking real cool, the taste is awesome. As for my one gripe with this place, their gelato cakes. Ugh, they were so gooooooooood. You can't just introduce me to something delicious and take it away!! And well, they did, I'm sure they have their reasons. You won't see them anymore, but, I'm hoping they read this and bring them back. Any who, try it out! read more

This place was pretty good, but I didn't quite understand the hype. I would say this place was 3.5/5. I got the maple bourbon walnut gelato bar, and while I have no complaints about it, I just wasn't blown away. The gelato bar was definitely well made, and the details that went into making it should probably not be overlooked. First of all, the flavor of the ice cream itself had a nice subtle sweet maple taste with chunks of walnuts I could munch on. The rich and smooth ice cream was enclosed in a velvety chocolate exterior. It was definitely well made, since the temperature of everything was just on point. The ice cream wasn't frozen hard and wasn't on the verge of melting. The service here is super nice and friendly, and when I couldn't choose which flavor gelato bar I wanted, I got some great recommendations. They have unique flavors here like the mango chili & lime (flavors may vary depending on time/season of visit). I guess for me to pay $5 a pop was a bit on the pricier side, so I might have had absurdly high expectations, but I'm glad I got to try it. If I come back another time, I'll try their other mouthwatering treats! ^^ read more

I admit the sweets here look so pretty and taste delicious, however, the price is outrageously way overpriced! I have tried a lot of great, famous desserts from great restaurants and pastry shops/bakeries, and I must say that this place has the most unreasonable price among them all. I had 'It Takes Two to Mango' for $14 and 'Earl Grey Chocolatea' for $16, what a ridiculous price for a dessert! Compare with the famous Baked Alaska from Liholiho Yacht Club (less than $12) and Seasonal Panna Cotta from Perbacco for $11, the dessert here are smaller but the price is over 45% higher! There are many other places I can mention, to be honest. Moreover, the desserts' price here has been dramatically increase since 2016! Let's take 'Mother Earth', which cost $10 and recently it cost $16, which is 60% increase in 2 years! The 'Earl Grey Chocolatea' cost $8 in 2016, $15 in 2017 and $16 in 2018. The price is actually double in 2 years! I still can't believe that this place actually increased the price to double in two years. Having observed the price here and compared with other bakeries and restaurants which serve really great and reasonable portion of desserts/sweets, I really can't give this place more than 2 stars, let alone I will come back here. read more

I couldn't decide between a 4 or a 5, but after thinking about the cost, it would have to be a 4/4.5 Before last night, I didn't know Sixth Course existed. Now, I can't unknow it. This place is a tiny little hole-in-the-wall in between more popular portions of the Mission, but don't mistake its appearance and location for anything other than superbly created desserts. From the churro gelato pop (~$5) that tastes like you're biting into a perfectly chilled form of a Disneyland churro to the mango cake with shortbread that will leave your tastebuds going back for more, Sixth Course hasn't failed yet. Everything is housemade and done with immaculate attention to detail. Can't wait to go back. read more

Sixth Course - One of their frozen pastry bars - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

There's a variety of desserts to choose from here ! Unique chocolate flavours , macaroons, cakes and gelato pops! Everything is beautifully displayed and makes you want to eat everything! However the prices here are quite steep for the "size" you get. Would not recommend if you want to get a bang for your buck . During my visit I opted for the mango & sesame gelato pop ($5 each). The flavours were unique but nothing special would skip. Wanted to try the garden cake but it was $18 so decided against it. Also got 2 macaroons ($2.50 each) which where delicious, perfect amount of sweetness! The salted caramel was also amazing. Would definitely come back for those 2! read more

Came here w the best friend and had mind blowing desserts. The detail and beauty in each was ridiculous. I've worked with many award winning chefs over the years and I can tell you the level of their craft is exceptional. All the flavors of each dessert wasn't just for show, but harmonized perfectly. Thank you Gia for the experience (we met the head chef)!!! We can't wait to come back. And we will be coming back with a baseball team to clean you out. read more

I've been Sixth Course's customer since November 2016 and have become their regular customer since. My husband and I used to stop by more often when we lived in SoMa and since I used to work in Mission, I always stopped by to pick up some sweets there before heading home. I have such fond memories with this place. The first time I stopped by on a rainy day and felt immediately welcomed by Giannina, one of the co-chefs/owners, with her genuine smile and she greeted us warmly and helped us decide which desserts would be best for us. Months after that, I stopped by Sixth Course again after a long interview and Giannina said to me that she hoped that I'd get it which I later did. Every time I felt like I had a long and stressful day, I tended to go there for a little pick me up and this place + their delicious sweets could do just that. One time I wanted to take home just one dessert , but was reluctant to get a second when I saw the poppy seed. Giannina offered me one and said " It's on me. I wanted you to get to try it because we won't be making it again until next year and I don't want you to miss it." It was really a small gesture, but that moment was huge for me, and I wanted to return her generosity by letting people know. :) To me, personally, it's not all about how good your food or desserts are, it's also about how you treat your customers. Especially, in the city like San Francisco that's full of choices. So, with A+ customer service like Sixth Course, how could I not recommend them to others? ;) By the way, the bathroom there is always clean :D Check out all my photos I took of their delish desserts! And if I can convince you to check this place out, I have done my duty of sharing one of the best dessert places in San Francisco to other Yelpers! Go there and get a couple desserts and if you are looking for some gifts, get their assorted chocolates! I've purchased them a few times for my family and friends :) ** Check their business hours before you go. As I remember correctly they open from 2pm - 10pm, but they close on Sunday. I follow their IG as well to get new updates and see if they're closed :D read more

I love love this place. Period. Very nice and cozy spot. So, I tried this place for the first time during summer. They have a mango chili flavored ice cream. Oh.. no words to tell how good it is! It's a seasonal menu and their ice cream flavors keep changing. I had fig and mascarpone yesterday, oh so good. They also had chocolate, peppermint, etc. Tiny sizes which is perfect. Didn't feel guilty at all. Lol. Here's what caught my eye, heart and soul. Butterscotch pot de creme. Oh. My. God. The best ever. We licked the jar clean. Must try, go get one of this and enjoy it for yourself. Love their goofy signboards inside and out as well. Must try. And I've made a pact to try a new flavor once a month. read more

The desserts looked beautiful, so I stopped by to pick up a few items. However, I was rather disappointed in the lack of flavor for the desserts. I got the Pear-fect Cake (almond financier cake with poach pears and cardamon whip cream). The cardamon whip cream was delicious, but the rest of the cake seemed like a cheap coffee cake; the cake was so crumbly that it fell apart when I put a fork through it (1 star off). I also got the Churro Gelato Pop, and yes, it tasted like a churro, but I think I prefer a real churro because the fried dough would be nice and crispy. Finally, I got a box of the chocolate bonbons. As beautiful as they look, the taste was mediocre (1 star off). For example, the Salted Peanut Ganache one was like a dressed up Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I expected the Habanero Passion Fruit Caramel to be somewhat spicy, but it was extremely spicy, too spicy for a bonbon. In contrast, the Raspberry Rose Ganache didn't have much rose flavor. I ended up spending $45 total for the items above. I really wish to have spent it on Costco churros and a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup instead! read more

Really great little spot on the north end of the mission hidden a block off the main drag. Look for their sign out in the sidewalk as you won't want to miss this place. Home made candies, amazing-looking gelato pops and the incredible s'mores pot de creme complete with graham cracker, chocolate and a layer of salted caramel. So good. The dairy-free sorbetto was also amazing and surprisingly dairy-like. Had a nice coffee as well... overall a lovely spot and great time. read more

If you're looking for beautiful, unique and exciting desserts, SixthCourse is definitely the place to go. Every time we've come in, we are blown away with the creativity of their team from the quirky named gelato pops to the gorgeous panna cottas. While the area around can get a bit dodgy, the actual shop is really clean and welcoming. We love watching them in the state of the art kitchen as they make the same desserts in the beautiful displays out front. We once had the pleasure of meeting the owner and she was very friendly and even let us try one of her newest creations. They rotate their desserts seasonally and create some for specific holidays. Highly recommend grabbing your next dessert here! read more

I am forever obsessed with this dessert spot. Whether on a sweets craving whim, or binge eating time after a breakup, this place has always hit the spot with its warm customer service and exceptional concoctions. read more

Last Saturday, while on a triple date, we went around the group to see if we knew what our significant other's favorite dessert was. Well, this is easy. Mr. NSS doesn't like sweets but he will eat tiramisu. Then came his turn... "Her favorite dessert is dark chocolate cake...", he confidently said. "WTF? Dark chocolate cake?...When was the last time I ordered dark chocolate cake?!?," I replied. "Well, it's good for PMS", he said. *Complete Silence* Can you imagine us on The Newlywed Game?!?! Oh well, I'll cut him some slack though because food is NOT his forte. He thought Pocky was related to hockey. Enough said. For the record, I don't care for sweets but when I do crave it, vanilla ice cream, and carrot cake are my weaknesses. But, I always have to order dessert when dining out to yanno, get a complete "sample" of the menu. I saw Six Course under the "Hot New Businesses" on Yelp. Glancing at the newly posted pictures, my eyes were fixated on the Apple Strudel Gelato Sandwich. Unfortunately, when we visited last night at around 5:45 pm they didn't have it. I later heard from Albertino M. that they did have it earlier in the day but sold out. Super bummed. Opening on October 16th, Six Course is a confectionery shop serving handmade truffles ($2 each), mini mousse cakes ($6), mini tarts ($6) and gelato bars ($5). Everything is quite pricey but they use top-notch local, organic, and sustainable ingredients here. Hours of operation: Wednesday/Thursday 2 pm-10 pm, Friday/Saturday 3 pm - 11 pm, and Sunday 12 pm - 6 pm. They're closed Monday/Tuesday. CC's accepted. Even though I'm not a fan of chocolates, my eyes twinkled when I saw their beautiful display of truffles: http://bit.ly/12iSh5E. I couldn't resist with tantalizing flavors like lemon verbena caramel, bourbon maple bacon, chai tea caramel, and smoked salt caramel (truffle menu: http://bit.ly/1vT0Xuw). For booze heads, they even have a whiskey neat and raspberry cosmo truffle. I picked 7 flavors and the lady was kind enough to throw in a complimentary pumpkin spice: http://bit.ly/1rmxYtG. The flavors are very subtle; actually a bit too subtle for me. I couldn't really distinguish one flavor from another. :/ Of course I didn't stop there, we (I) also ordered the Almond Toffee Crunch Gelato Bar ($5) and the Caramel Hazelnut Semmifreddo ($6): http://bit.ly/1rryllG. Although I really enjoyed the deliciously creamy texture of the gelato, I felt the almond flavor didn't really come through. The caramel hazel semifreddo was delicate with a mousse-like texture. I like that it was light and not overly sweet. We (I) enjoyed the dessert while sitting in one of their four stools which gave you a great frontal view of the open kitchen and the pastry chefs at work. One of the pastry chefs smiled and waved at us which I thought was cute. The cashier was really nice and even offered us water while enjoying our desserts. I hope to return when they have another batch of Apple Strudel Gelato Sandwiches. And let's hope, this time I have enough self-control to not wanna buy one of everything because yanno, how much I love desserts. *sarcasm* Women. Ugh. We (I) are such complicated creatures. Poor men. read more

Imagine stepping into a sixth dimensional world of flavors that transform your every thought on sweets. Oh gosh... this probably sounds like I'm high to the new generation... STOP IT KIDS, DON'T DO DRUGS. Although... this could be a new sort of dessert drug ;p "Without dessert, the world would be darkness and chaos!" - says the best historical poet of Sixth Course. Neapolitan $6: Strawberry mousse, vanilla cremeux, chocolate cake, chocolate water crisp. literally dessert from another dimension. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sixth-course-san-francisco?select=f84nSWtHAB02dgbziKrIbw SF Parks & Recs $10: chocolate raspberry mousse, raspberry confit, chocolate sponge cake, pate sablee, raspberry ganache, chocolate "soil & rocks", pansies & elder flowers. Looks insanely real. Like a garden you would find at a park. EVERYTHING is edible on this thing. I think it was a bit too much chocolate for my own liking. but nonetheless delicious. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sixth-course-san-francisco?select=S5XjC94gk2UAZrdbMI_Fhg Lemon Raspberry Semifreddo $6: Lemon curd cream semifreddo, raspberry confit, vanilla sponge cake. It was pretty interesting kick of sour with sweet. The texture of this thing is to die for. Although taste did not mix as well as I thought it would. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sixth-course-san-francisco?select=u-yglb0-aR5csE1EGEO5LA Berries & Cream $6: vanilla creme fraiche mousse, blackberry cremeux, lemon poppyseed cookie under as a crunch. Gluten free. The exterior was thick and rich, the interior cremeux was fruity and light. The balance was unbelievable. Hazelnut Crunch $5: Hazelnut, gelato, hazelnut praline, milk chocolate shell. Popsicle of heaven. Literally like crunch on the outside nutella on the inside. The inside was extremely creamy. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sixth-course-san-francisco?select=qPMyHzO1Nv-4lSramBS-IA&reviewid=V_RQHbVVg8qW7zZ5YOB46w .::Truffles $2 ea ::. Grand mariner: sour super rich Rose: creamy inside with a semi gel like center. Very strong rose taste. Hazelnut praline: reminds me of nutella... with crunch. very good. Coffee& dulce de leche: Not a coffee person at all but it wasn't too strong and it did not put me off. It was a magical mix. Raspberry Cosmopolitan: probably the least favorite one. It was overly sweet, but still a great combo of white chocolate and raspberry Earl Grey: dark chocolates are not my thing. i shouldve known, but I wanted to try since everyone was raving about it. Wish I was a dark chocolate lover thou. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sixth-course-san-francisco?select=NBGUi1gCD2Q_NFGbnBxbjQ You can tell the owners of this place are passionate about their work. I can taste their love for sweets through each and every dessert. I'm that super shy fan girl in the corner that secretly wants their autograph every time I come in and see the owners. Is that creepy? LOL I just have a obsession with sweets and people who can make it amazing are people I *heart eyes* to. HAHA read more

Walking distance from BART 16th and Mission. The walk from the BART station to the store is not pleasant though. We were so glad when we finally reached 15th st. The area feels much safer. I like the cozy ambiance and cool interiors of Sixth Course. It's a good place to chill while you enjoy your dessert. We sat in front of the open kitchen. It's nice to witness how they make the beautiful desserts. They have truffles, gelato pops, coffee and mini cakes. We tried Valrhona, Amaretti, and Calamansi. All were really good! Amaretti: Almond and White chocolate mousse, Chocolate Pan de Gene, Chocolate-Amaretto Mousseline Choux, Almond Praline Valrhona: Valrhona Chocolate Gelato, Valrhona Cocoa Nibs, Dark Chocolate Calamansi: Calamansi Curd Semifreddo, Coconut Sponge Cake, Caramelized Puffed Rice (gluten free) My favorite is the calamansi because I love anything citrusy. It's sooo good, it should be part of Oprah's favorite things! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a shot! You will not be disappointed. Props to Chef Gina! She's so talented and super nice! read more

What a gem! Definitely a little off the beaten path tucked about a block away from Mission St. It's a small store with limited seating but they do their best to accommodate. Service was basically no existent (I wanted a to go box but couldn't find anyone to ask for one...) so definitely ask for everything you need right away. There might not be a second round of ordering! The first thing you see when you walk in is their vast array of truffles! They're all beautiful and they range so much in flavor. Unfortunately I didn't get to try them, but will be back! What I did order was the Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn, mostly because of how pretty it was haha. But it was SO GOOD! I told myself I was only going to eat half but then finished the whole thing... that good. It has ivory mousse, pistachio jaconde cake, strawberry pink peppercorn confit, and they all blended together to give you the perfect bite each time. It's definitely pricey so be prepared! read more

After dinner, we decided to take an uber to Sixth Course. I've had this place bookmarked since the day they opened in October 2014 so to try it many months later, I was extremely excited! Our Uber dropped us off on 15th and Mission right in front of The SF Armory. Upon walking in, all the craziness of SF just swept away and it was as if we were transported to the most amazing dessert land you can imagine. They have truffles, individual cakes and gelato pops, cookies and candy bars. Um HEAVEN! We were so happy. I ordered the berry cheesecake. It was one of the most amazing desserts I've had to date. It made me all kinds of happy. The ladies I was with ordered the smores cup and the other a chocolate type of cake. They loved it. I also ordered a box of 6 truffles to take home and they were just as delicious. I am dreaming about the day I return here. Another cool feature is that you can watch the amazing chefs create the wonderful desserts in the kitchen. Amazing, just amazing I tell you. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. And if not, I think it's still worth a drive for one of their unique desserts. The service was amazing as well. So worth it. read more

Since I am not in the city as often as before, I decided to knock off two of my bookmarks this past weekend. As it seemed to be the theme of the day, the spot is a little on the spendy side in line with how much you would pay for desserts at sit down restaurants. The mini gelato pops were $5 a pop with a couple of boozy choices while desserts run about $7-$8. The gelato pops are on the smaller side but is bursting with flavor. We both got the mango chili lime one and the smooth gelato has just the right amount of sweetness to pair with the slight kick of the chili lime powder sprinkled on the enrobed chocolate. The chocolate peanut butter crunch tart is also rich with flavor and texture. The smooth chocolate ganache, the crunch similar to a rice crisp and finally the roasted nuttiness from the peanut butter. A bit pricey to visit too often but a nice place if you are in need of a treat. I have my eye on you next Chocolatea!! read more

These desserts are really really cute and tasty but the service here was like nonexistent... and I mean really nonexistent... as in there was no one at the counter when I went in. It was super awkward... then I can see people making food in the back and they look at you helplessly while you look at them helplessly and no one can help you. Eventually, someone comes from the back to take your order but they disappear as quickly as they came. Then, you are left wanting another fork which results in more helpless looking at the people in the back. This was seriously my experience. That aside, the desserts were delicious and beautiful. The decorations on the desserts were edible too! I bought a box of truffles home for my bf and he devoured them instantly. I would recommend this place for its desserts. read more

I tried out Sixth Course dessert shop on Sat 3/12/16 during the rain. Nobody else was there so that was nice, people did come in after me. I couldn't decide on 2 desserts so I got them both. Desserts are like $5-7 so not cheap, but they are tasty! I got the Blood Orange dessert - blood orange semifreddo, blood orange gelee, vanilla sponge cake - gluten free $6. It's small, not too sweet, light frozen thing w/ jelly and some cake. I liked it. Other dessert I got was Chocolate & Peanut butter Crunch Tart $7 - 64% chocolate ganache, vanilla fluid caramel, crunchy biscuit peanut butter cream. It was rich and creamy w/ some crunchy bits of candy in it. I really liked it too. I will be back to try more desserts like the tiny gelato bars $5 ea; gelato in single serving cups $5; truffles $2+ I didn't take pic, and they have expensive chocolate bars too I need to buy Dick Taylor Bolivia $8; Fruition bar $9; Askinosie chocolate bars from Springfield MO $10.

Sixth Course - Too Pretty to EAT - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love anything caramels...sauce, bacon added, chews, and liquid filled-chocolates. Went to the Spring Chocolate Salon at Fort Mason today and came across Sixth Course Chocolates. Saw the box of caramel chocolates a mile away and bought the box of six: rosemary, ceylon cinnamon, smoked salt , sage and brown butter, passion fruit, chai tea. Of the 6, i wasn't a fan of one which was the rosemary one.

All the other flavors were wonderful...ooey-gooey goodness. read more
