Such a wonderful chocolate shop to visit if you are in San Sebastian for the day!…read more I will be the first to say that I am not the biggest chocolate fan, yes bring out the pitchforks to hunt me down. With that said though, I do enjoy various types of homemade style chocolate and that is really what Casa Aramendia brings to the table. Located within the tight alleyways of old town San Sebastian, most may pass it by, but do yourself a favor and bookmark this if you are a chocolate fan as it is worthwhile. The staff is very friendly, speak good English, and more than willing to help you choose some delectable chocolate. While browsing around I'd suggest watching the back room where they are making the chocolate you are eating at the moment or in the process of buying. Like most chocolate stores, they are willing to let you nibble on a few samples to help you decide which bunch you will be devouring. One downside, which is a bad word to use in this case, is the chocolate is not cheap, but trust me it is worth it as the flavors are intense and insanely tasty!

What a delightful chocolate shop.

We stopped in to purchase the ever popular chocolate iphone. All of the delights of the regular iphone, but with no bugs or new operating systems to make you mad. Super convenient location in old town by all the pinxto bars!

It's a sweet brioche with sugar sprinkled on it that's cut in half and filled with a sweet cream made of butter and eggs. So soft and sweet. Service was excellent! It's a beautiful shop! There was a line, and I didn't know what to get, and the nice lady told me that this is famous in Bilbao. 2.30 euros for one delicious ball. I wish I had gotten more!

I'm feeling gracious at giving four stars, though. The service is not good. The people who work there are nice. They helped me pick stuff out and were nice about my attempts at speaking Spanish. But the set up is as inefficient as possible. After picking out my items to have a seat, the items took forever to get to me. Why??? Are they doing through a metal detector? It was difficult to tell if the person who takes the pastries to the table is really doing something or just wasting my time. I do know that whenever I went to pay, the server had always disappeared -- a real feat in such a small space.
