    Stumbled upon Nibble Chocolate and I'm so glad I did. Ambience is sweet and cozy.

They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

    Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

Also just so everyone is aware they're also liars just to mention & stupid.. she tells us her name is Karen thinking we don't know the owners name lol .. She was at the register at 7:20pm and was extremely rude and dismissive after we placed our order, especially regarding a child's dietary restrictions and health concerns. We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

Customer service from Manny was amazing and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We also really appreciated that military discount was honored here. We ordered the Mini Golden Treat, which came with a warm brownie on top with whipped cream, fudge, ice cream, and a cherry. Honestly, it was the perfect size for two people to share without feeling heavy after midnight. What stood out the most was the kindness we received even as hey were closing, and our transaction was complete and paid in full. Manny still offered us cups of ice water and extra napkins without hesitation. That small gesture really added to the experience and made us feel welcomed instead of rushed out. He got a well deserved tip for that California love he gave us. I'd definitely return here whenever I'm back in San Diego. Extra deets: Manny shared the history of the failed gold rush of the owner, and how he utilized the entire chocolate plan of a drinking bar conversation and made millions. The original location is San Francisco, and he says it's like an entire block. I look forward to visiting that one day.

Once you find a table, they bring it right to you! The inside is also very bright & spacious w/ a good amount of seating. Banana Split - 8/10 (your average banana split, but ghirardelli knows how to do it right. the bananas are very fresh & the strawberry puree was delicious. i also like how the the ice cream does not melt too fast & they give you lots of whipped cream. the star of the show is 100% the chocolate; the fudge was very rich & addicting! definitely pricey for a banana split, but you are paying for the experience)

First up the staff: Trinity took my order. So friendly and helpful. Efficient but welcoming. Never stopped moving the whole time I was there. I ordered the egg salad croissant. I have to say the best egg salad sandwich I've ever had. Texture but creamy. Eggy and briny from the capers. The croissant flaky but held up to being used to make a sandwich. I got the chips. I highly recommend the chips!! Peppery, crisp, salty. I also got the hazelnut croinut (sp). Flakey, buttery, not overly sweet To drink I got an iced dirty chai. Not overly spicy. I ate everything for there and it came out on real dishes which I love. Otho h worse than eating a beautiful meal on paper plates. The portions are large so when I needed a to go box they were quick to provide, with a bag. It's dog friendly and they provided treats for my two.

The atmosphere, the energy, even the warmth from the staff -- and I swear the owner's accent just made the whole experience even more magical -- everything about this place is just chef's kiss. Now let's talk about the FOOD. I had a chipotle chicken crêpe that was unreal -- perfectly balanced, flavorful, and so satisfying. Then came the pastries... I tried the most incredible apple croissant-style bread (I don't even know what to call it, just know it was AMAZING), and the macarons were soft, fresh, and full of flavor. And the lavender honey latte?? Oh my God. I'm still thinking about it. Literally one of the best drinks I've ever had. Every single thing I tried was a 10/10. Not one miss. But honestly, it's more than just the food -- it's the experience. It's cozy, beautiful, and just feels special. If I lived in San Diego, I would be here every single day without question. I'm officially in love with Parfait Paris.

From start to finish, she provided the kind of customer service that's hard to come by these days--warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about her craft. I reached out with a somewhat unique request for custom chocolate and wine pairings for a special event, and she not only rose to the occasion--she exceeded every expectation. She took the time to understand the ask and the wines we planned to serve. The result? A stunning and thoughtful collection of handcrafted chocolates that perfectly complemented each pour. Every bite was an experience in itself--beautifully balanced, creative, and utterly delicious. It was clear that she put a great deal of care and expertise into each pairing. Our guests were absolutely blown away, and many are still talking about the flavor combinations. Beyond her talent, what truly stood out was how easy and enjoyable she made the entire process. She was responsive, insightful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If you're looking for someone who brings artistry, professionalism, and a personal touch to their work, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend So Rich Chocolates and Johna and can't wait to work with her again
