I am so glad that we go to try out Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland…read more It is tucked inside of a little shopping complex located upstairs, and it is on one of the main roads with shopping in La Jolla Village. I have been past it several times but did not know it was there. The store is small but they have plenty of different styles and sizes of high quality Swiss chocolates. We got to try it last weekend as part of a Mystery picnic experience. The person working at the counter grabbed our to go package and asked some questions, we let her know it was part of the picnic, and she said she had also done the picnic, but down in Coronado. She told us about the shop, the chocolates, about some of the different packages, etc. The chocolates were decadent, rich, sweet and delicious. Our package came with a few different types. But there are many options to choose from. I am looking forward to trying more out. Enjoy the photos.

That was a nice touch, extra service. The prices are not the cheapest but they have some really nice items, and as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for, quality is not cheap. There is some street parking on the road right in front of the store, there are also some paid parking garages nearby. It is also a short walk over to the ocean from here. Check out my photos of the store.

Hard pass. First…read moretheir chocolate is sickly sweet, and odd tasting. Turns out, they use additives and artificial flavors which I only discovered after purchasing. Yeah that's my bad but still Gross. Got their "praline" box but it turns out almost half of them are truffles even though it doesn't mention that in the product description. It's very deceiving. There is a difference between a truffle and a praline. The absolute worst part is, one tiny piece of slab chocolate, I'm talking a 1.75" x 2.5" piece is.... wait for it.... 570 calories. Yes, somehow a 28g piece of chocolate has 41g of sugar in it. That means their FrischSchoggi Tin has ..... 8,550 calories. Yikes. To top it off, after doing some digging, they're doing a bit a greenwashing on their website. They say "organically sourced beans" but what they mean is ONE of their chocolates, the Single Origin Brazil slab comes from Cooperativa Cabruca in Brazil. Literally unless you're buying this one specific item, every single other thing they sell is NOT made with organic chocolate. How misleading, or rather how deceiving. I've had the pleasure of visiting many other chocolatiers and must say there is much MUCH better chocolate in this town alone - made from better sourced cocoa, with better flavors made from real ingredients, and a hell of lot less sugar. Go find them and support them, and pass on these pompous pretenders - your mouth, your wallet, your body will thank you.

Lick-It Lollipops are amazing. They taste so clean and simple, yet with so many flavors to choose…read morefrom, it is fun to try new flavors! My favorite is the lemon ginger. I love drinking (strong and bitter) black tea, so the lemon and ginger pair well with it. Megan handpours all the lollipops and did our wedding gifts with 2 kinds, a pear spritzer one and old-fashioned one. They are so cute and pretty, especially the birthday cake and watermelon ones. She also has seasonal flavors and I love the peppermint ones during the colder sweater weather days. I highly recommend this local San Diego business. She also does shipping and gift baskets, and we usually get ours from the Hillcrest Farmer's Market. She does the Bernardo Winery and other local farmers markets and festivals too.

I ended up getting like five of the cubes cuz they were just too cute. I got the Little Twin Stars, Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi! I just liked the packaging.

Usually, I try to wait till they mark them down to grab some of these goodies, but I couldn't resist! These are always a nice gift for whatever occasion!

When we passed by, there was a sign indicating that staff was on break so we decided to come back after lunch. When we came back there was a lady behind the counter and she was assisting other customers. Yes, this candy is expensive but holy cow are they delicious. My husband like the gummy candies, and the one we picked out were very flavorful. I wish there were samples so that you're able to try them, but they do sell sample packets (4 for $10). Each sample packet some with about 10 pieces of small candies. My daughter chose the sea salt caramels and when I tried them they were delicious. The chocolate was not too overbearing and had a small hint of sea salt. The caramel was the right amount of stickiness and didn't stick too much to your teeth. Packaging is beautiful and a nice gift for those who appreciate sweets!

We came in and weren't greeted then when we asked for a little sample the blonde girl was giving us a bit of a weird look. After a minute the head lady (i'm assuming) asked if we were looking for something, which is a normal thing to ask, but her tone and their body language made the whole situation uncomfortable. We just bought a sample bag because we didn't feel welcomed at all, usually we like to sample a variety of barks before purchasing a bundle.
