Such a unique experience with warm, welcoming, cozy ambiance with something for everyone to offer. Staff are kind, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I had the honor to speak with the owner as he shared about the chocolate that they craft and create so beautifully and naturally. He has a kind soul and was patient and informative. His joy and knowledge made this experience even much more exciting and enjoyable. So inspiring. We had the chance to try out the creative unique delightful chocolate such as the Black Forest cherry, ginger cardamom, honey saffron, and hazelnut elderflower. Thank you for being apart of the Sebastopol community and bringing delicious unique chocolate and tea and drinks experience. I can't wait to be back with my loved ones! read more

How does this store not have a five-star average review? The chocolate is amazing and the proprietors could not be more kind and friendly. This is an award-winning chocolate shop. Go out of your way to come here. The dining room is comfortable, clean, and definitely the place you want to hang out for a while. read more

God made this man to make chocolate. Order several boxes of a variety of truffles and caramels and make sure to get a map of your custom variety. This chocolate is INSANE. Do not deprive yourself. Grateful for a hubby who brings these home! read more

Run! So you can go in and savor. Whether an amazing and gorgeous expertly crafted truffle or caramel, a magnificent cup of carefully curated green, black, pu-erh, oolong (and much more) teas or just to hear the beautiful gong, Either way, allow the flavors and sound flow and permeate through you. It's worth taking the moments to soak them in. Not an espresso shop so it's much quieter and serene. Gluten free muffins (savory & sweet), chai or matcha latte, and don't forget the frozen chocolate pops (it's summer right now! Flavor changes but we've had the mint, coconut almond and lavender, all wonderful with a thick coating of dark chocolate. Apparently all ingredients but the honey and liqueurs are organic. The chocolates are low to no sugar so the flavors come through, not just sweetness. We recently had the honey mint sesame caramel and the pistachio gianduja with a liqueur (can't recall which one) truffle - both a wonderful experience to enjoy. The website says David does $20 chocolate tastings which I hope we can do soon. The price point may seem a bit high but the effort, flavors and quality ingredients is well worth it. He's doing a light remodeling so things will only improve inside. As a sole proprietor David is a star in his class! Stop in soon! read more

The service was great! Very friendly. If you like tea or chocolate this is your place. I tried a raspberry, marshmallow piece of chocolate that was amazing. Would recommend their salted caramel too. My friends enjoyed their tea. Definitely a fun stop! Some really nice art displayed in their store also. read more

i came in with my family yesterday and right off the bat the energy in the room was just so so positive and i loved the look of the place itself. the woman helping us was an absolute doll and i really admire her patience when my family and i were asking a bajillion questions. for the price ill say the chocolate is actually really good and the mixture of flavors were just perfect. they make everything from scratch in house and its all dark chocolate which is a bonus for anyone that has a sensitive tummy! my boyfriend and i also got a cookie and i could only take 2 or 3 bites because it was so rich but omg it was DELICIOUS! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

What a wonderful chocolate shop in the cute little town of Sebastopol!! The owner is so informative about how he sources and the quality is top notch!! read more

I want to stop in here every time I am in Sebastopol because their chocolate is simply amazing. I also planned and hosted a chocolate and tea pairing/tasting for 20+ ladies as a surprise birthday party for one of my friends turning 40 and it was awesome. Everybody had a fantastic time. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, considerate, and accommodating. The chocolates... Specifically, the fancy truffles are like nothing. You will see anywhere else. This place has done their research and they are clearly masters of their craft... They are located near the Whole Foods shopping center... So if you find yourself in Sebastopol or even looking for a fun date night or something fun to do with your gal, pal... Head over to Sonoma tears, space you won't regret it! read more

The girl behind the counter was not helpful or polite! She would not help me with chocolate bars on the floor though I asked a couple of times. I had no idea how expensive it was. A tip screen came up right away when I paid and unfortunately being in the service industry I left too generous of a tip ($14!)for poor service and I regret it. She wasn't even appreciative. read more

Strolling through Sebastopol my friend and I came across this lovely shop. We decided to select a few chocolate and do a tasting - spectacular flavors and superb quality! In particular we loved the London Fog and the strangest and most delicious flavor - blue cheese and sage! The staff is very helpful and kind, and we met the creative and kind owner to. read more

This is a beautiful and whimsical cafe that is a favorite to visit The ambience is ethereal and the menu items are lovely and comforting beloved for gifts and for Valentine's Day read more

Lovely place and great teas. Got to chat with the owner who was both friendly and knowledgeable.

Rally good chocolate. The one she said was spicy we bought, it wasn't very spicy but delicious. Lengthy tea menu but didn't get any this trip. read more

A cozy spot to have tea and delicious hand made chocolate? Yes please! It's a must stop when visiting Sebastopol. Large variety of loose leaf teas to stock up on, as well as a lovely tea service if you choose to have a cup to go or enjoy in their cute comfortable shop. The chocolates are fresh and made on site by the store owner David. They are delicious and beautiful! What a treat it is to have this local Jen. I'm partial to the chocolate covered caramels but you can't go wrong. I love to get a few boxes as gifts and a few more for me! Shop local and support local businesses! This one is special. read more

So i am giving a 4 because of the flavor of the chocolates; however, the customer service need great improvement. The store is a bit dirty. The teas were good. I told the lady that was working that i will be taking the chocolates back home to AZ and she didn't closed the chocolate packages so they spilled in the bag. For such a price I should have been offered a better customer service. Will not return anyways read more

Amazing fresh made chocolate and a variety of other services. Business owner is a kind man making the chocolate by hand!! Highly recommend stopping by if you are a chocolate lover! Very cozy inside space to enjoy a cup of tea or hangout! read more

Amazing chocolate but if the owner is there you will most likely hear him yelling at his employees-kind of ruins the experience!

Really gross tea. Over priced. Racist customer service. Terrible place, you'll have better luck having a good experience elsewhere. The ambiance is racist and they don't respect colored folks. Really weird people and not in a good way. read more

High end chocolate & drink shop in Sebastopol. Due to COVID, there was no entry but there were menus taped outside and you can order truffles, caramels, teas, coffees, cookies, pastries, and frozen pops. I did not get the name of the man who assisted me but he was very friendly, explained all the flavors and took his time to even handwrite a note with all the corresponding flavors in the box for me. This place is expensive, there was no price for the chocolates as there were for the drinks. The truffles & caramels came out to be about $2.80 a piece but they are handmade, local with unique flavors and I do not mind supporting a local business. Some of the flavors I purchased were Fig, Apricot, Coconut Almond, Blood Orange, Honey Mint Sesame, Lemon Olive Oil, etc. I would say give it a try. I did not ask for samples and was not offered one but I would ask for a sample next time to see if their chocolate is within your "taste". We are so used to eating cheap chocolates like Hersheys and regular store bought chocolates. This is on another level and might not be for everyone. Before I left, I was told to consume the truffles by Saturday. read more

Randomly came across this shop. I ordered a tea with milk and a coconut chocolate macaroon. They don't use any powder or fake tea product, everything was brewed fresh and individually. The tea latte was perfect. The chocolate macaroon was delicious and I don't even like chocolate. I mainly ordered it for the coconut, but it was heavenly with their dark chocolate. I regret not buying the second one. Would definitely come back and try more of their products. The cashier/barista was so sweet and attentive. read more

Truly unforgettable chocolates. The quality and attention to detail is amazing. Whoever is making the products is a true master level artist. The flavors and ingredients they choose are so good Customer service was terrific. Very friendly and helpful w good recommendations and deep knowledge. UNDERpriced. This is not even in the same category as russel-stover type stuff I purchased an 8 piece box for my anniversary and had it waiting on the table when we got home from dinner. Perfect way to wrap up my anniversary date. Will be back soon read more

First of all, the chocolates are DELICIOUS. Truly special. So I'm bummed to write such a poor review, but I was THAT troubled by the experience we had visiting this booth at the Sebastopol Apple Fair. It takes a lot for me to share a negative review. :( $3.25 per truffle is a lot to pay and I was honestly happy to...but the experience ended up being really unpleasant. I was in the middle of being helped when someone else walked up and interrupted with a question about the products. Shockingly, the shop owner completely abandoned helping me to help the other customer. It took so long I just walked away, stunned. But I wanted to support this organic chocolate booth and so I came back. Only for my husband to then be treated so rudely by the shop owner. I mean, come on. You can get artisanal, organic chocolate practically anywhere in this county. Customer service and kindness go a long way to either make or break a return customer. Today, I am the latter. read more

Well crafted chocolates. Delicious. Friendly service. Wanted too buy a lot!! Highly recommend.

I always come here to relax and people watch. The drink I always get is the black tea coconut on ice if it's hot outside, or hot with almond milk if it's cold outside. Just enough caffeine to give me a boost, but not too much where I feel like I'm vibrating. Their chocolate selection is pretty ok, but their newly-renovated snack and small plate selection is great! The best new addition I just found this morning? DELICIOUS gluten-free banana muffins. Buttery and crispy around the edges and chewy and warm in the center. Def a must-try! Even my gluten-eating co-worker couldn't believe her mouth, it tasted almost too good to be true. Way to go Infusions! read more

My family and I had a chocolate tasting with David today and we all had a fantastic time. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, we learned so much much about the origin and the making of chocolate, walking away with a much greater appreciation of the subject. So fun and delicious -- the chocolate was divine and David was a wonderful and fun teacher. This lovely shop has an amazing selection and we can't recommend this place enough for treats or gifts. P.S. my fave chocolate was their Early Gray Tea truffle -- so delicious read more

My inner guidance lead me to SONOMA CHOCOLATIERS. There are times when you ignore your instinct in order to stick the the routine, and then there are times you indulge in rewarding yourself with a treat and time take care of number one. I realized immediately when I saw the ambiance and felt the vibe, that the experience would only get better from here. The girls, Jeanne and Nicole are very sweet and a little spicy! Just right, as a matter of fact, much like their treats!!! Did I die and go to heaven? Because I imagine this is exactly what my heaven would look, feel and taste like. I ordered the Rose Chai with Oat milk and honey! Nectar for the GODS, right here! I love all things roses, this was very goddessy! I almost shed a tear! I had a chance to sample some GF muffins, my mouth is still salivating. I'm all about flavor, unique, and bursting with flavors left and right! Not too much, but enough to make you say OMG out loud. The texture, smell, taste! 10 STARS. So I came here for the chocolate...you'd think that ONE THING might be less than superb! But alas, every little thing is exquisite. I'll update the review later when I eat ALL of the chocolate! read more

The service was excellent. If you want a cosy comfortable shop to sit and drink tea with friends, this is the place. We had Indian dark tea - quite good. If you want a chocolate shop where the candy is presented beautifully, this is the place. However, If you want to eat the chocolate, go somewhere else. We tried 5 and 3 of them were terrible. The other 2 were mediocre. read more

Having a cup of tea and a chocolate here is an absolute delight. The atmosphere is lovely and the tea selection is to die for.

Purchased $75.00 worth of Valentine Chocolates, however no Valentine Gift Wrapping, and the cashier didn't even want to tie a bow on the 3 Chocolate Boxes! Bad business practice, in my opinion! Next yr purchasing from a Chocolatier who cares...! read more

I walked in hoping to have some tea and chocolate and some time to myself. I was greeted by the cashier, and told her I had never been inside and wanted to get some tea. She gave me no menu or instruction or anything. I ordered something off the menu wall and she said the menu was completely off, only food was in the case. No worries. Then I had to ask how do I order the teas because there seemed to be no menu. Then she finally hands me one, as though that should be obvious. I ask about a tea and I don't know if she had attitude or maybe was tired at the end of the day or what but then she told me I could only get a tea to go because they were closing soon. It was 5:20. They close at 6PM. I decided instead to just go. As I left a couple came in after me and as I write this, I am in the parking lot and see they got a pot of tea and it's now 5:35 PM and they seem to have been able to get a pot and place to sit, even though 15 minutes ago it was too late for me to do that? So yeah I'm not sure if I'll be coming back after that service. Maybe I'll give another try some time and hopefully can leave a better review read more

Great spot for tea, chocolates and baked goods. I always stop by when I'm in Sebastopol. Their freshly baked muffins are delicious. My favorite is the buffalo style made with onions and sour cream. You can't go to wrong with their sweet muffins either. They also have gluten-free options. The chocolates are delicious and made on site. They make perfect gifts too. I'm glad the shop is operating curbside only. Otherwise, its charming decor makes it an amazing place to read or get work done. read more

While visiting Sebastopol, I saw this place and was curious what they served in here. They serve a variety of chocolate that they make in store and tea. You can sit on tables or do the authentic tea sitting area where you sit on the floor. The atmosphere is very chill and has some peaceful music which makes it unique place for me. They serve some pretty good hot chocolate, tea and chocolate itself. Although they do make their chocolate in store I feel like I've had better chocolate and their tea was a bit on the pricy side too. read more

Infusions & Sonoma Chocolatiers used to be named Infusions Tea House. I would have given it 4 1/2 stars back then. Before the chocolate kitchen was added, that space in the back corner was a much bigger version of the "pillowed area" with even its own lap level coffee table. Infusions is still a charming place and I would definitely still bring a date here to talk, share beverages and delicious veggie food . . . and if we sit in the current pillowed area near the front entrance . . . share some tender touch as well. I love both varieties of rose teas they have. They are always served in some eclectic mismatched pot, cup, saucer, and strainer combo that always seems to visually work. Try any quiche they make as they are quite good! The staff here seems less something than it once was. I mean they are less friendly, less open . . . or something. I feel that they are a little up tighter than before ownership changed. It appears that triple the number of people work there now, at least. I went there a couple times last week and I think I counted seven people working behind the counter and doing jobs around the store. Infusions is a small place! One thing that makes Infusions very special is in the form of a woman named aptly, Magick. She is a master tarot reader and regularly sets up at a small table outside next to the front entrance. I have received numerous readings from Magick over the past several years and have been enormously impressed by her talent and clairvoyant abilities. Infusions is still very Sebastopol. Laid back, veggie food, tea from jars like at an apothecary . . . and a little Magick here and there. Review 0094 read more

Support a superb local business, kick back, and relax! I've frequented Infusions ever since they first opened and I can safely say that they're an excellent chocolatier and feature some of the more comfortable sitting locations in town (comfortable sitting chairs, a small couch, and a larger "family-style" sitting area with pillows and even toys for younger children. Their tea collection is impressive and stands ready to suit any tastes -- their service is friendly and prompt, and their tea collection can be accompanied by any of their delightful flavored chocolates, cookies, or gluten-free muffins (all made in-house). With free wi-fi, a clean and highly-rated location, comfortable seating, and an excellent collection of tea and "noms," this is one of the best places in town to get work done and relax, or meet friends or family for a fun outing! read more

I ordered truffles and caramels and chocolate covered organic nuts with cinnamon and they were able to get it to my daughter in Oregon for her birthday. They went the extra mile to make sure she had it. She was extremely excited because chocolate is her favorite and she loved the different flavors in the chocolate. My daughter knows a high-quality product because she's a foodie. This is one business that goes the extra mile with a high-quality product. read more

Just stopped in for one of their delicious sipping chocolates, and left w a sack of beautiful chocolate edible art pieces. And enjoyed sharing the extra rich sipping chocolate w my wife. A wonderful place for special teas and gift ideas. They have so many awards from the harvest faire. It's next door to the Sebastopol Whole Foods. Definitely worth trying. read more

My mother and I stopped here to enjoy chocolates and tea after a spa day across the street at Bliss. They had the largest selection of organic teas i have ever seen. All of their teas are sourced from Taiwan and Japan (places where you can actually believe/trust the organic certification rather than guess that it was purchased) Don't go in expecting the same prices that places like teavana charge. You will be purchasing a larger amount of tea of a substantially higher quality from a family rather than a corporation. That said I did not feel the prices were out of line. I had the coconut black tea AKA Sebastapol Crack and cream oolong (beautiful), my parents had lime ginger, and my brother had puehr (probably spelled that wrong) we also had many of the chocolates including maple, chai, cinnamon, lemon thyme brie, costal, orange olive oil, balsalmic, salted caramel, and ginger. My favorites were the balsalmic, the orange and the maple. Oh, and the cookies! A man named Josh was working when we arrived and while we decided on our teas and chocolates he was whipping up something in the windowed kitchen. I asked about it and he offered to bake us some to go with our tea. They were delicious and huge! The atmosphere was awesome too. Josh was super friendly offered is samples and suggestions, helped with steeping times etc, about half way through our visit he clocked off and the owner and his family came on and visited with us for over an hour. We loved this visit it was a highlight of our california road trip! read more

I know prices have risen everywhere and I have never complained in the past however I paid over $17.00 for two hot sipping chocolate drinks made with water(not milk). I felt ripped off. I checked with Starbucks and cafe' de croissant and they charge $3 .75 or $4.50 for large. Further my friend bought a small pot of tea that cost her $22.00. Needless to say I will not return as I guess the owner is appealing to the tourist trade. read more
