After seeing a story in Orange Coast magazine summer 2025, their website had a wide range of collections. I'm disabled and unable to visit their store. I tried to order in September and everything was sold out. It's now past Thanksgiving, and only two collections are seemingly available, so I'm again using my go-to for years - Christopher Elbow in Kansas City , the best I've tried amongst many. read more

Came here to try their famous Dubai Chocolate bar! It's definitely a nice and yummy treat! Our daughter loves it! After watching numerous online videos, the taste & texture didn't disappoint us! We wish they have the bon bons version of the Dubai chocolate so it's easier to pop it in your mouth. Would love to come back for more and trying out other flavors! read more

This is a new gem in Orange County. This former pastry school led by a top pastry chef and chocolatier from France is now a co-owned chocolate kitchen. The best part, they use natural sweeteners resulting in a glycemic index of seven (for comparison lettuce is usually 10). How on Earth is delicious chocolate coming in lower than lettuce? Let Jim, the co-owner, tell you as you try the amazing samples. Some especially addictive flavors to try include: orange rind dipped chocolate, hazelnut chocolate bark and the banana passion fruit truffle. They just opened two weeks ago. I couldn't find hours online so I'm sharing here: 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Thursday-Saturday read more

I came across the local South O.C. business 'Francium Chocolate,' was from attending their event with Fresh, South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, CA. I met the owner when we had their Chocolate Tasting and Champagne Tasting Event on May/10/24. Their main shop is located in the 'City of Tustin,' CA. Gotta love their packaging!!!! We were buying promotions from Francium Chocolates since we got to taste their famous flavors such as hazelnut, gummie filled chocolates and many other flavors. Their chocolates are all diabetes' safe aka sugar free. I got a couple of boxes along with purchasing Fresh items as a combo. They were hosting their Mother's Day weekend promotion along with Fresh Boutique, South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, CA. read more

Found this place on Yelp and took my family here to satisfy our chocolate cravings. It's located in odd location, but when I walked in, it definitely exceeded my expectations! Such a cute chocolate boutique serving beautiful, high quality chocolates. The person who helped us, I believe was the owner, was extremely kind and gave us so many samples before purchasing. We thought we would be buying a box to share, but ended up leaving with a few boxes because it was that good. Overall, great customer service and delicious chocolates... which I devoured as soon as I got home and forgot to take pictures.... Hence no attached photos (boo!). I will be coming back soon to try the rest of their flavors. Give it a visit! read more

Discovered this cute little chocolate shop after seeing posts about it on Instagram. It's located in a very unassuming building near the Tustin Metrolink station, but once you find it, you'll find some of the most delightful chocolates. Most of them are labeled as "no sugar added", but that doesn't make them any less tasty that other chocolates. They sell boxes where you can custom pick 4 or 9 chocolates (or you can just get them a la carte in a bag). I usually go and custom-make a 9-chocolate box as gifts. Around certain holidays they sometimes have specialty boxes and ribbons that you can place the chocolates in as well (I remember there was a cute purple color around Mother's Day earlier this year). If you're in the Tustin area, it's worth it to swing by and try a sample, and if you like what you try (and have no self control around chocolate like I do) bring home a box or two! read more

I have been looking for a chocolate/ dessert place that offers high quality yummy chocolates while being low in sugar, i can not believe how amazing they taste while all the products are 0 sugar!!!!

Francium Chocolate - Dubai Chocolate Bar - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Tustin, California

We originally came for the Dubai chocolates, but after being offered samples of several different kinds, we ended up leaving with a variety of others! They have a great selection, and the chocolates are smooth, not overly sweet, and leave no sugary aftertaste. Really impressed! read more

Parking: 10/10. Spacious and plentiful. Chocolate: 10/10. I've been searching far and wide for an Asian owned artisan chocolate shop in OC and the wait is finally over! Everything is delicious, from the beautifully crafted chocolate pieces and dark chocolate orange peels. We even adopted a chocolate dog for our family member and the gift was well received. Jim, the owner, said that the chocolate dog can last forever if we store it properly! Jim was very intentional in sculpting the dog out of white chocolate in case a dog ate it by accident (worse case scenario). We also bought a chocolate box for our friends and they had positive ratings. Service: 100/10. Jim was so accommodating and nice during our visit. The decor and packaging are on point. Will definitely come back again. read more

Francium Chocolate - Pure white chocolate French bulldog. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Tustin, California

I ordered chocolate online to pick up and was absolutely blown away when I went in. Which is rare for me as someone in the industry. The small beautifully designed space first caught my attention. Fresh batches of incredibley artistic sweets being swapped as they churned through what was in the shelves. I had to create a box! The knowledge and passion from the employees. Including the owner speaking with a customer. The passion he had in his voice said more than just the words he used. In the end I had 2 boxes and called a chef I work with to tell him about the place. Needless to say, now both of our wives will get their own box. I felt it was only right to make someone else's day. My new go to for chocolates & gifts. read more

Such beautiful and delicious high quality chocolates. I used to come here before it was Francium and they had pastries. They were good then and they still good now. I love that nothing is overly sweet and they have no sugar added selections too. Customer service is wonderful. They let you sample things if you're unsure of what to get. read more

Francium has become my favorite sweet treats. I can't compromise my sweets.. if I'm eating them, they'd better be good, or they're not worth consuming. These ones, not only they taste delicious, they're actually wholesomely good for our health! *heavenly choir sings* All their dark chocolates are bomb, yet among them all, these are my go-to: their feuilletine (all flavors), gianduja praline & ganaches. Their beautiful shop is located in an unassuming retail complex, and they're very friendly. Skip all other chocolate boutique & check this one out. Yummy yum yum! read more

True artisan chocolate and a true hidden jam in Tustin (located in a light industrial area). They have so many delicious and beautiful pieces of chocolate truffles and the owner is super friendly. My favorite ones are the matcha mille feuilles, exotic caramel, and earl grey tea ganache. But I would say that it's hard to go wrong with anything. The truffles are $3 a piece which I think is reasonable given how much work it was put in. It makes a beautiful gift as well! read more

I love Francium chocolates for many reasons! I bought these for my boyfriend during Valentines Day and we got to try 9 chocolate truffles of different varieties. The Earl Grey truffle and the mango truffle were our favorites They give lots of free samples, and their chocolate is mainly sweetened with allulose instead of regular sugar (which is great since I'm sensitive to sugar!) read more

Husband discovered this place on Yelp and took us here on Saturday. We went inside not expecting anything and came out with a bag of candy loot. They have so many different samples - it was so generous of them! Of course; this meant we wanted to buy everything on display. The owner whose name is Jim, was super friendly and kind. They've only been open 3 weeks! Such refined chocolate and sweets at this place, we can't wait to come back! Now we don't have to source our bonbons from Chicago anymore, we can just come here. Enjoyed their matcha chocolate, hazelnut chocolate, their dark and milk chocolate brittle, banana foster chocolate and red-yellow bonbon, rocher chocolate, dark chocolate ganache, sea salt caramel chocolate, etc. Both our kids love the chocolates, including us! Yum. read more

This place is wonderful! It's beautiful on the inside and the woman helping us, Geraldine was so sweet and informative! She gave us generous amounts of free samples to ensure we liked something before buying it. She even gave us a little treat on the house! I came for the Dubai chocolate and the icecream bars, but they don't have the icecream this month; but will return next month! We got the dubai chocolate bar for $27, you can sample it before buying, but you can only buy the bar instead of individual bites. All of the chocolate is diabetic friendly and it's not as sugary as See's candies, if that's what you don't like! It's expensive but it's high quality chocolate. A wonderful experience and I look forward to going back for the icecream match bar and popsicles. read more

I love their premium chocolate and the diabetic friendly option is cherry on the top.

Alright, so this spot is a low key, little chocolate factory in the city of Tustin and it is AMAZING! Jim was very friendly and the customer service here is the best! We loved the store layout and it's all very well organized. The chocolates taste so good and they are beautiful to look at, honestly I feel bad about having to eat them :D. Need to buy a box just to leave on display at home. This place deserves all the great reviews, give them a try! read more

Bought a dubai chocolate bar to surprise the gal at home and the owner gave me a 15% off because there were a defect in the coloration. I was quite happy until I went home and tried it out. Seemed like there were two different type of chocolates, milk on the bottom and dark on top with a thin layer of the pistachio cream. We were hoping a thick layer with a crunch in the middle but the flavors were soo off! There were so much going on with the chocolate, it overpowered the pistachio as we couldn't taste it at all. Was very disappointed, for a costly bar of chocolate, was hoping it to pop out of this world but ended with sadness. Couldn't finish the bar of chocolate as it was not for us. read more

Amazing chocolate!!!! Amazing customer service!!! I highly recommend this shop! And the best part are the samples!

Amazing chocolates looks like pieces of art! Wonderful people, beautiful packaging. Try the frozen fruit bars!!

Go see them! The staff is knowledgeable and chocolates aren't too sweet. Neat little shop that is generous with its samples. Great gem hidden in Orange County near the Tustin train station. read more

We, too, were privileged to be assisted by Jim, who warmly welcomed us, passionately informed us of their creations, and even allowed us to sample the chocolates! Not only are their chocolates works of art, everything we tasted was delicious, too! Among others, we really enjoyed the white chocolate bark with coffee bits and what I'll refer to as a tropical treasure (with delightful flavors of mango and caramel). Not only will I return for my own chocolate fix, this shall be my go-to for gifts, as the presentation is so beautifully gift-able. read more

Wow! This is honestly the best chocolate I ever had. I never been to France, but I've been to Francium. The chocolatier Jimmy really has a passion for his craft and it tells. I recommend everyone to try Francium chocolate, you won't be disappointed! read more

Amazing store amazing service. Love the chocolates here, they use a healthier sweetener and its delicious

We came to this same location for the delicious French pastries, now they finally reopened as a chocolate store - those chocolate are delicious, and absolutely worth the price , when I go home to Switzerland, I pay the same or more, and I don't have to fly. Dark chocolate truffles are a traditional favorite, but I must say, I liked the lime dark chocolate even more: if you are sceptical about a flavor combo, go for it an try it, you will love it. Done eating my chocolate, I need to go back for more. read more

"Hidden gem" might be overused and considered a somewhat obnoxious term these days, but that's simply what Francium is: a delicious little boutique hidden amongst office buildings. I've been here twice now and we really need to make a third trip soon. Their chocolates are made with allulose, so they are diabetic friendly and I don't feel that "sick" sensation you get sometimes when eating low quality sugary chocolate. You can taste the care and intentions that went into crafting each chocolate, and they're very pretty too! My personal favorite is the Exotic Caramel flavor. It tastes like a beautiful fruit medley--but made with real fruits! It doesn't have that weird artificial fruit taste. Their matcha ice cream is also really delicious, and I also loved their POG (pineapple orange guava) flavor. Lastly, the girl that helps us each time is the sweetest, always very kind and willing to answer as many questions as we ask. A kind soul. Definitely a must visit if you like chocolate but also care about your health. Or even if you just like chocolate! The shop is very clean and neatly organized, make sure you check out their dog shaped chocolates too! read more

Went in here while waiting for our car to get serviced and was immediately greeted by an amazing lady, I'm guessing co-owner. Gave us samples of some chocolates and absolutely fell in love! My chocolate-loving husband got these and 4 of their donuts filled with strawberry marshmallows. The store is very clean and very fancy, I felt as I was important with the one-on-one experience. Their chocolate artwork is impressive and overall breathtaking. Chocolate is exquisite and you can tell there is patience and love into each bite, something that you cannot get from regular store bought chocolate. read more

Gorgeous, scrumptious chocolates, made on site! My go to for special gifts! And the people are so nice and friendly!

I came by for Christmas presents and was totally amazed by the selection. Ms. Chihiro was very kind and helped me select from their great flavors and everyone was super impressed. My personal favorite was the sesame marshmallow ring which had a crisp cookie base and soft marshmallow, all covered in smooth dark chocolate. It had super fragrant sesame seeds on top, just opening the bag was amazing. It's a little more expensive than going to a chain, but you can taste the quality and it always feels better to support a small local business. read more

Francium Chocolate - Goldendoodle chocolate statue - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Tustin, California

I loveeeee this place. The location is kinda hidden but once you walk in, you are greeted with the nicest workers. There are multiple of different kind of chocolates and even chocolate sculptures on sale. The chocolate is with materials that wont spike your blood sugar so it is definitely a great good for everyone including elderly. The chocolates are a definition of "not too sweet" and they are super cute when they are packed in the gift box. It can be a little more pricer then other chocolate but I think it is worth it. read more

Francium took over the store formerly known as ST Patisserie Chocolat / The Pastry School and Shop by Stephane Treand. Changing focus to chocolate. It is sad to see those delectable pastries and kouign amanns go, but what took it's place is even more amazing. All handmade on site from the attached factory using premium ingredients. Cacao beans from Ecuador. No artificial flavoring or fillers. Chocolate, ganache, carmel freshly made daily. Tried a variety of their offerings and recommend the bon bons & Francium dark chocolate coffee bark. Their classic tiny dark chocolate pearls in the clear cylinder containers will return in a few weeks, . - bon bons are $3 each - orange chocolate sticks $8/bag - Strawberry or Matcha barks $10/each - Francium inscribed dark chocolate coffee bark is by weight Have to say these are way better than Patchi chocolates. read more
