As someone who's picky about chocolate desserts, I really enjoyed this stop…read more The hot chocolate had a deeper cacao flavor than most places, and I liked that it wasn't overly sweet or heavy. It felt much more balanced and grown-up than the usual sugary version. The pastry I tried was also nicely done.. rich, layered, and satisfying without being too much. What stood out most to me, though, was the whole atmosphere. It feels part café, part chocolate boutique, part tasting experience. Even just browsing the bars and beautifully packaged products was fun. A really nice place if you enjoy thoughtful desserts and want something that feels a little more elevated than a typical coffee-and-pastry stop.

We got 2 chocolate bars and 1 chocolate truffle for 25 dollars which is obviously very steep. My issue was with the fact that the chocolate were not amazing. 1) the bourbon chocolate caramel was way too bourbon-forward 2) the white chocolate passion fruit bar was way too floral and didn't work at all with the chocolate (I'm usually a fan of passion fruit and chocolate) 3) the coconut crunch bar was phenomenal. I was quite disappointed for how much we paid to only like 1/3 things. I don't think I'd venture back.

I got the Nibby Horchata (dairy-free), which is made of almonds, hazelnuts, cinnamon, cocoa nibs, and rice, it came out within a minute, and I sat down to do some work. It was a tasty drink, at a good price point (for SF especially), though I do think some oat or cow's milk would have added some more robust creaminess. I think I'd try the iced chocolate chai next time! My friends loved their cacao smoothie and frozen mocha. The wifi is fast and reliable, the music plays softly in the background without being overwhelming (and the rest of the volume level is just low-level chatter, not too loud and not too quiet), and there's plenty of natural light. It's a wonderful spot!

I loved looking at the tins fixed on the wall with a variety of street names, chocolate brands, and landmarks. It makes for a very visually fun store. The chocolate choices here are unmatched. Every single chocolate I saw looked divine, and there are so many chocolate brands to choose from. There are also individual truffles for purchase. I visited on a Monday evening, and the store was completely empty, so I could take my time looking around. The brand Fossa caught my eye - they had chocolate bars with flavors like spicy mala, salted egg cereal, and satay sauce. Not only were there fascinating flavors, the packaging of every single bar I saw belonged in a museum. This felt like a store with high-quality, artisanal options, and I loved my visit!

Service was kind. Don't Stay for Breakfast: Disappointed by this one, was 1-dimensional and no better than any run-of-the-mill ice cream bar. It lacked the maple flavor I was looking for. The only highlight was the crunch from the waffle flakes. Pavlova: A significant step-up from the other dessert. Visually, the pavlova wrapped around the presentation of fruit is quite beautiful. The pavlova was light, airy, and had a nice sweetness. The fruit filling was decadent, and added variety to each bite.

Our family first discovered Teuscher years ago during a trip to Boston, and we instantly fell in…read morelove with the chocolate. Living in Denver, we rarely get the chance to visit one, so whenever we're in a city with a Teuscher location, it's practically mandatory for us to stop by. This time happened to be San Francisco, where we once again stocked up on their incredible assortment of dark chocolates. Our absolute favorite, hands down, is the dark chocolate pistachio -- rich, smooth, and dangerously addictive. Now, fair warning: this place isn't cheap. But you truly get what you pay for. The quality is unmistakably premium, and every piece feels thoughtfully crafted rather than mass-produced. The San Francisco shop itself is charming and inviting, and the staff has always been warm, friendly, and happy to help guide you through the selection. Highly recommend for any serious chocolate lover.

I came in about an hour before closing and got the medium rectangular gift box as a Valentine's Day…read moregift. I really like that you can choose exactly how many of each flavor you want in your box. I didn't realize that before, but it's a great option because you could literally get one of everything if you wanted to try them all. I chose orange, citron/lemon, caramel, earl grey, espresso, raspberry, and hazelnut. There was also a vegan raspberry option since the regular raspberry had sold out for the day, and honestly you couldn't tell the difference. It was delicious. I also tried the lemon in store, and the raspberry was my favorite. One small thing is that once they're bagged up, it can be a little hard to tell which flavor is which since they look pretty similar on the outside. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind if you're trying to remember what's what. The owner mentioned he's had the shop for 30 years, which you can feel when you're in there. He took the time to neatly tie up the box and even gave me two complimentary pieces. The shop itself is tiny and charming with a good variety of flavors. A friend of mine has been coming here since childhood, and now I understand the hype. I'll definitely be back.

Sophie at this location is a gem. Yes, she's knowledgeable, but more than that, she's genuinely kind and personable in a way that's increasingly rare. There's an intangible warmth to her that turns a quick visit into a moment worth remembering. All around fantastic experience today for my first stop at this location. One suggestion: I really wish they would offer frozen fruit smoothies here -maybe a super simplified version of their café offerings. It would do incredibly well. There's a clear market gap in the area with tons of foot traffic, and it would put something tangible in customers' hands to sip on while they walk around, keeping the unique chocolate experience that's offered at Dandelion at the forefront of the mind. One day...

The first time I visited this location, they were not yet offering tastings, (and the gal behind the counter was not very friendly nor feel approachable). This visit however, they were super nice & friendly, and they had samples. We left with some chocolate bars which we knew exactly what they tasted like. Of course, if you can, visit their bigger location in the Mission, where they have food and beverages on the menu. But if you're in PacHeights area, stop in to taste and pick up some delicious chocolates.

But the line did move quickly and the workers were very fast. Our chocolate shakes were okay. I think because chocolate is so bitter, they really need to make it more like a milk chocolate shake.
