Flavors are Jasmine tea, Vietnamese coffee, pho, sriracha, durian, guava, passion fruit, lychee and cognac. I discovered different flavors I've never had in chocolate. If you're adventurous with flavors, treat yourself or share with others. I love their durian truffle. The smell can be a turn off when you bite into it, but the smooth, creamy flavor is tasty. I wish it was more affordable, so I can indulge in it more often. They sell them in boxes of 4 for $20. I also like the jasmine tea, matcha chocolate. I stop by whenever I get the chance to get some for myself and gifts for others.

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.

The man working, who I assume was the owner / chocolatier, was very kind and helpful. Myself and two friends got the 20 box and he gave us one piece for free. I got the mint, espresso, dark chocolate and coconut and all were super tasty. I want to go back! It's a very cute, homemade shop and I highly recommend checking it out!

We are scone fanatics and Batter Bakery more than satisfies our scone taste buds!…read more We visited their pop up at the Ferry Building Farmers Market on Saturday and ordered their lemon currant scone and peach blueberry scone.

The whole ambiance of the store is such a vibe - my husband and I love it. Even down to the music being played. It passes the vibe-check as the kids say. lol. I've been in for their soft serve & cannolis - both so yums! You can never go wrong with soft serve! You can choose from either a cone or cup & they have a bunch of toppings - even the olive oil & sea salt which I have heard AMAZING things about but I am a plain-girly so I opted for a plain soft serve on a cone. EDIT: GET THE OLIVE OIL & SEA SALT SOFT SERVE - ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG, it's LIFE CHANGING! I would never think the combo works but it freakin' works! lol. TRY IT, you won't regret it! If you go here & don't get a cannoli, did you actually go here? Just asking. Cannoli choices: Plain, Pistachio, Chocolate Chips & Rainbow Sprinkles. My go-to is Chocolate Chips, it never fails! A great thing about their cannolis is that they make 'em after you order! Fresh & hot off the presses! They also have coffee but I have never tried it BUT it gives me a reason to come back!

Hard to believe... twelve years…read more I continue to stop here but it's been that long since I first reviewed this reliable and popular stand. On Saturdays, it's located in the back lot area between the Grande Creperie and Cholita Linda. I normally get the almond tart, one of their focaccias if I'm in a savory mood, or a brownie. Recently, I've been getting their scones and random things for myself and bran muffins for a friend. On a recent visit, I noticed a new item, the citrus syrup cake (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=0REiDP9oNibl7KpR4vDItg); a few days later, I cut a slice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=mQnjKG7wYMJdMOqGFPe0xQ). Sigh, this brought back childhood memories of a moist butter cake that my mom used to buy for our family to share during after school or after dinner at home. Pair this with a cup of hot tea, coffee if that's your preference. Thank you, Levi, for being there from the beginning for me, offering suggestions. Eye the selection of goodies before hopping in the line to keep it flowing. I'll be here this morning and see what else is new.

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.

But now that I'm trying to get a little more plant-based, I have a little more motivation these days, plus I have this neat canvas bag I got for free from the Halal Guys at 53rd and 6th in Manhattan. So now I can carry produce and compete with all those elderly Chinese women with their flimsy pink bags. Oh yes, that last Chinese eggplant is MINE, old lady! I actually come here for the produce I never see at Safeway or even Whole Foods like Romanesco zucchini. Y'know, the big gray-green ones with the prominent ribbing and nutty taste. No inappropriate jokes please. I also come here to get at least a couple of bunches of Chinese long beans and those silky-firm white peaches. I have to say I have no problem filling up my Halal Guys bag with fresh goodies because the vendors here always have quality produce (see my photo gallery). It's worth coming just for the free samples but expect to get an elbow in the face from the more aggressive cheapskates. Nothing is ever free, is it? The market fits snugly into the ground floor of the Crocker Galleria every Thursday from 11AM to 3PM (plus Tuesdays during the summer). Come early if you want your pick of the freshest produce, but get your stinking hands off my Romanesco zucchini. That's mine!
