    This chocolate boutique is easy to miss, but it offers a unique selection of nicely curated chocolate. I came in here to buy a gift, which was a beautiful box of bon bons. I think the recipient will be happy. Prices are steep. Chocolate, while great, was not as exceptional as I had hoped for. I would come back still, but I would like to try some of the dark or matcha chocolate instead. Service was friendly. The vegan shortbread was more like a ginger snap than actual shortbread and a little too sweet for my taste.

    Wow this little gem is pure gold! You can tell by the display, logo and the Lady this place is pure heart and joy, which I completely felt! I was looking for a box of chocolate to gift at and this was so beautiful. Their flavors are original, not overly sweet at all, very simple ingredients and the Lady who was at the shop was so perfect! Like the chocolate fairy from outer space. We got the 16pc box as well as the Passionfruit Bar (passionfruit is sooo flavorful, with the tart fruit flavor hitting you quickly and ending with luxuriously smooth chocolate at the end) and the Milk chocolate with ginger, sesame and buckwheat bar to try and we loved them all. I'm buying 10 more passionfruit bars when I'm in the area again!!!! The shop is really tucked away and may miss if you're not paying attention. It's right next to the nail place (in a smaller narrow opening) felt so Japanese I loved it! Now only if they have ice cream ahhhhh I would never leave this place. (3 weeks later) Today went to get more passionfruit and they were sold out...Ahhhhh I died. Nothing compares to that tart lightly sweet bar! WARNING: they maybe sold out! Call before you come.

    TLDR: Marathon superfood! C'est du très bon chocolat! これチョコレートが大好きです! True and funny story, the first place I tried this chocolate was in Montana where I spotted a unique flavor bar, white chocolate pistachio rose in a case of 100s of different chocolates from around the world. Once my best friend and I started nibbling, looked closer at the box and found it was Los Gatos... Small world! More than two years later, I made it a point to stop in on my long run which was going to be no more than 13 to 17 miles. I was greeted by Michiko who was the KINDEST! Got six different flavors and they were all fantastic! Especially both the yellow colored ones. I'm telling you there's something special about this chocolate because that long run turned into my very first marathon! Might make this my new routine hehehe Support this local business for its amazing quality and top-tier hospitality! And share with friends and family while you are at it!

    What a cute little chocolate shop! I've been wanting to check this place out because I've developed a huge chocolate tooth in the last few years and have been purveying around the bay area looking for delicious chocolates. They have fun, unique flavors in the form of bon bons, bars, caramels, etc. They have a loyalty program and you bet your bottom dollar I signed up! I would've bought every flavor but the cost does add up, so I'll savor each bite until I'm back again.

    I'm a big chocolate fan and have tried some of the best in Europe, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but Deux Cranes totally delivered. I got a holiday box, and the seasonal pieces were both beautiful and delicious. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the flavors, they were creative but not over the top, and everything worked so well together. The chocolate itself was so smooth and rich, clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The seasonal touches made it feel extra special and festive, which I loved. Will definitely be back for more!

    Where does one get a bon bon? Here! Deux cranes has phenomenal bon bons... that thin even chocolate shell with a perfect crisp snap... biting into a luxuriously smooth center with Asian flavored ganache and other fillings!!! I'm in love. Hubby has ordered from their shop several times. I've tried many of their chocolate bars, cookies, seasonal boxes but by far the bon bon is where they shine. Will definitely purchase these as gifts for friends and for special occasions :)

    I'm not usually a huge chocolate fan but if I had to eat chocolate it would be these. Their chocolates are the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet. I also got to meet the owner. She was so kind in sharing her stories of how Deux Cranes was founded.

    Charming chocolate store filled with beautiful artisanal chocolate. Had the privilege of meeting the founder and chocolatier Michiko. It was wonderful to hear her passion and journey into becoming what Deux Cranes is today. Michikos cultural background inspired her beautiful chocolate creations with Japanese flavors of sesame, yuzu, matcha and many more. The packaged chocolate is also so pretty to look at and would be a wonderful gift to give. I tried the matcha bonbons which were amazing! I also loved the chocolate sables, the matcha chocolate bars, and the dark chocolate with coffee and cream. Service is wonderful and kind. One thing to note for those who have nut or sesame food allergens : to read the packaging to make sure you are able to enjoy a chocolate without these ingredients. I did see some that were nut and sesame free!

    I wonder how I never knew about this place which was so close to my home. Went for a chocolate making event and the lady was just the nicest person and explained everything so patiently about chocolate making process. She explained the difference between everyday store bought chocolate and high quality ones. The chocolates were just amazing and tasted really good. I had passion fruit and matcha chocolates. For chocolate making process, dipped chocolate cookies(divine), marshmallows and mango. Loved how clean and organized everything was and loved their display of chocolates. Everything was so passionate about chocolates at the store. Will definitely go back to gift some to friends

    The Matcha and Spiced Dark Chocolates were to die for!! I loved how enthusiastic everyone at the shop was, and how passionate they were about the chocolates. Definitely recommend if you want a fusion (Japanese + French) chocolates or just great quality regular ones!!

    3/22/2024 LIMITED EDITION: SAKURA ALMOND EGG Dark chocolate flavor at the top, then the buttery almond shortbread layer comes next, then the cherry jelly and sakura ganache. The sakura flavors aren't big as you continue eating, but you get the flavors in the beginning. It's definitely enjoyable! LIMITED EDITION: SAKURA MATCHA CHOCOLATE BAR You can taste the full, earthy matcha right upfront! Beautiful matcha flavor! However, the sakura takes a backseat. I can taste little of it with that berry tang, but matcha is the star. Like the Nestle's Crunch Bar, you also get rice krispies between each bite, which was good. LIMITED EDITION: SPRING BENTO BOX 2024 - Blue Sky Sakura Bar-Sakura/Cherry Jam, Matcha Cream, Almond Shortbread Butter (almonds, gluten, milk) - Night Sky Sakura Bar-Sakura/Cherry Jam, Sakura Saké Cream, GF Rice/Almond Shortbread Butter (alcohol, almonds, milk.) - Sakura Rice Crispy (sesame seeds, butter) - Cherry Pâte de Fruit  - Sakura Saké Bonbon (alcohol, milk) - Matcha Cream Bonbon (milk) - Hōjicha Cream Bonbon (milk) - Sakura Cream Bonbon (milk) My favorites from this bento box: The Bonbons! Sakura Saké Bonbon - Fruity sakura flavor, then the saké comes through. Well done and wish this would stay on the menu. Matcha Cream Bonbon - Beautiful chocolate crunch of outer chocolate. Matcha was a very good quality matcha which was rich in flavor, fruity and sweet. Then the milky flavor hit the end, which brought the whole thing together. Delicious! Hōjicha Cream Bonbon - Strong hōjicha flavor coming through! Then that creaminess at the end. Lovely! Sakura Cream Bonbon - Lightly floral, yet the outer chocolate shell tastes slightly caramelly which adds another flavor at the end. Compared to the Sakura Saké Bonbon it's not the best, but that outer shell chocolate was superb! Blue Sky Sakura Bar - Earthy flavor as the first note, then a light almond flavor, then a fruity cherry flavor at the end. Good crispy crunch from the outer chocolate shell. Overall indistinguishable flavors in one bar. Beautiful bar inside and out. Night Sky Sakura Bar - The sakura fruity tang comes first, then the almond paste and shortbread, and lastly the sake. It has this light, floral, creaminess which was very pleasant. The base flavor is similar to the Sakura Saké Bonbon. Again, beautiful bar and crunch from the outer chocolate shell. The cherry patés were my least favorite, which was too sweet and tart. Yes, it tasted like cherry, which was good, but the overwhelming sweetness killed the cherry flavor overall. HAZELNUT CARAMELS Light, buttery caramel with chopped hazelnut pieces. DARK CHOCOLATE CARAMELS You can taste dark chocolate as soon as you bite into it, then get a slightly savory caramel, like there's miso in it. SALTED CARAMELS Very buttery, soft with the best deep caramel flavor. Did not taste salt as a top note, but out of all the caramels I've had at Deux Cranes, this one was the best! Melted the salted caramels and miso pepper caramels together on a kouign-amann in the toaster oven for a more deep caramelized flavor. It was such a good decision because the it was the best warm, gooey, melty, caramelized, crispy kouign-amann I've ever had! So good! A must-try!

    I found this shop coming home from a trip and craving something chocolatey. While this shop is on the smaller side, there were many choices and it showcased chocolates like gems in a jewelry store. The woman tending the store was so kind and helped us with different flavor profiles. I tried the chocolate sables, matcha chocolate with yuzu and the hojicha milk chocolate with kokuto pecans and cranberries. I did notice there were vegan options and options for those with allergies. I would happily make another drive to there but thankful they also have an online store to purchase.

    This cute small chocolate store has such decedent chocolate with the right amounts and spice and fruit. Definitely great gifting chocolate or "just because" chocolate.

    Can we pick the chocolates we want or is it assorted?

    In the boxes of bon bons, it's randomly assorted. They pulled out a couple for me to look at as they're all different, and I picked the one I wanted most, considering the flavors I was hoping for!

It was samples of their chocolate hazelnut which was delicious. The quality of the chocolate higher tier and you can taste it. You can also try samples of the other chocolates they have on display which is awesome. I tried their matcha dark and white chocolate fusion and it was so yummy. Perfect blend between the matcha and the chocolate flavors. You also can break the amount of chocolate that you want and it could even be as small as a sample size too. I believe the cost is by how much it weighs and the type of chocolate? I ended up getting the smaller pieces of the matcha chocolate and the hazelnut chocolate. It came out to be $11.47 for both the chocolates and I have attached a pic to show you. They nicely package it. I def recommend trying this place. The workers here are also very nice!

I really appreciated how generous they were with samples, you can explore different flavors before deciding what to buy. I tried the hazelnut chocolate and loved it. They also had a wide variety to choose from, like Dubai chocolate, truffle milk, truffle caramel, and some nicely packaged gift sets with mixed flavors. Everything looked beautiful and tasted just as good. The quality really just... the best, and you can tell it's premium chocolate. You honestly can't go wrong here, whether to buy for yourself or choosing gift (and chocolate makes the best gifts). It's definitely a spot I'd come back to when I want to buy gifts for my family!
