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.

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 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.

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.

I know their chocolate qualities are good and tasty but I'm not sure it justifies the steep price. They use beans from different places which is what creates the variation in taste. They don't add anything fancy to their chocolate bars - it's just two simple ingredients: cocoa and sugar. I probably won't snack on these chocolate on daily basis because my wallet would be sad. However, I don't mind shelling out once in a while for special occasional or using it as gifts. This location in the Ferry building also sells pastries and drinks. I tried the Mission hot chocolate and was mind blown. The hint of cinnamon, chile, and cayenne pepper made this version so unique and so addicting. I think if I had unlimited money I would drink this every 3 days especially on colder days.

Some were fruity, some more earthy or nutty, and others had a deeper, more intense chocolate flavor. The chocolate drinks are also excellent. They're rich and smooth without being overly sweet, so you actually taste the chocolate instead of just sugar. Everything feels very high quality, from the bars to the drinks. It's definitely not cheap, but it feels worth it if you really like chocolate. The samples also make it fun because you can actually compare the different chocolates before deciding what you want. Service is great and fast, while the ambiance is fun and exciting especially considering it's next to the piers.

Tonight, I stopped by with my girlfriend and we shared a banana split. The ice cream itself was amazing, as usual, but unfortunately the service was one of the worst experiences I've had here. When ordering, I asked the cashier, Alex, whether chocolate sauce came on the sundae. The response I received felt belittling, as though I had asked a ridiculous question. His tone and demeanor came across as annoyed rather than helpful. I later brought the interaction to the attention of the supervisor, Andrew, hoping the situation could simply be clarified. Unfortunately, his response also came across as irritated and dismissive. I explained that I had specifically asked whether chocolate sauce came on the sundae, and when I asked for some to be added, I was told that it was already on there. After eating the sundae, I did not notice any chocolate sauce. Whether it had been added or not was honestly less important to me than the way the situation was handled. Something as simple as asking for chocolate sauce should not feel like an argument or an inconvenience. The one redeeming part of the service was Jose. He came over to our table, politely asked if we were enjoying the ice cream, and happily cleaned our table. His demeanor was genuinely kind, welcoming, and professional, and it was greatly appreciated. The banana split was excellent, and the quality of the ice cream is still something I would recommend. However, based on tonight's interaction with the cashier and supervisor, the customer service was extremely disappointing, especially considering how many years I've been coming here.
