We stopped into Nibble specifically to enjoy some hot chocolate today! The shop looks so cute & festive with all of holiday decorations. We were helped immediately by a kind barista who made our hot chocolates quickly. We had one Mexican traditional & one Aztec Spicy. All of the hot chocolates are made with Oat Milk unless you want something different. Both hot chocolates were delicious albeit lukewarm. The Aztec Spicy does have a bit of a kick, so be prepared for it. The cups are on the smaller side at 12 ounces, but we enjoyed these special treats very much ($5.45 each) . It was also fun to do a quick little walk through of Old Town to see the decorations and enjoy the ambiance. I recommend this hot chocolate for sure! read more

Such a cute, little shop! The employee was very nice and we didn't feel rushed at all. We got Dark, Pomegranate, Lemon, and Raspberry chocolates. They were honestly all enjoyable to eat! I would definitely get these again, especially because they weren't expensive. I do wish they had some fun seasonal flavors to mix things up every once in a while. read more

Always a must stop for me when I'm Old Town San Diego. I can never decide on which chocolate to purchase. So, I cover my bases with the small sampler box. Pictures provided. Beautiful shop. Small and full of good delicious all natural chocolate. read more

On a chocolate tour a friend suggested Nibble. I come to old town often I must have passed by Nibble a handful of times. I loved seeing the location around the world where all the different varieties of chocolates travel from. Each has a distinct flavor and uniqueness. Feeling adventurous we tried a little of everything. Since Dubai chocolate is a the rage we tried it and that was by far my least favorite. We also had a fruit, spicy and the OG truffle. Although, flavored chocolate is great I am still all for the simple dark chocolate maybe a sprinkle of salt to balance it out but I enjoy the natural flavors. Inside they have of course chocolate drinks, souvenirs to buy or sweet treats to enjoy later. The wall is decorate with the history in how chocolate is made from the fruit to what we eat at home. It's great store filled with history and sweet treats. The staff was eager to assist and although it was a hot summer day I would love to come back and try their hot drinks. If only they would do a special with the wine store next door because the rich dark chocolate flavors would surly bring out the fruity notes or spices in a glass of wine! read more

This is that hidden hole in the wall chocolatier you've been searching for. Your chocolate is pretty good and they have a wide variety but their drinks are incredibly delicious and in many ways unmatched in San Diego. They have a small cute patio and some space indoors for enjoying your drinks. All the employees I've ever interacted with are very helpful and friendly. read more

This is tucked away in the back of fiesta de Reyes plaza. It's a nice treat to have their hot chocolate especially on our cooler nights in San Diego. I had the original hot chocolate and it was not too sweet, more on the stronger bitter side probably because it was dark chocolate? My fiancé had an iced chocolate horchata which he enjoyed! I preferred my hot one to the iced one. Staff seemed friendly and it wasn't busy at all middle of the week. read more

Absolutely incredible!!! Their hot chocolate with sea salt is unlike anything I've ever had and everything is fully vegan! So rich in flavorful and the sea salt takes it to a whole new level.

The beautiful chocolate frothers that adorn the interior of Nibble Chocolate not only are a great homage to chocolate's Latin American roots but also the Nibble Chocolate's incredibly delicious back to the basics approach that involves being sustainable and organic with their chocolates. Nibble has become a must visit location for me every time I'm in Old Town San Diego and I'll always get a couple of their distinctive square bars to take back home, particularly the Cocoa Mexico and Madagascar. In addition to the chocolates, there are some smooth drinks being served here. I am definitely a big fan of the Mexican hot chocolate, especially if you're wandering around the area during a cool night. Service here has also been consistently helpful. There are a lot of tourist trap things to do in Old Town San Diego but Nibble Chocolate is not one of those experiences - if you have a real love for well crafted chocolate, you will be glad you visited this store. read more

I want to like this place. I really do. It is a cute little vegan chocolate spot that has some decent drinks and lots of chocolate options, but the operation leaves much to be desired. I have tried their champurrado, which was good, not too sweet, but they served it in a paper cup(this is not the issue), with no sleeve and no top. The drink was scalding hot and it was not a great experience trying to carry around while enjoying Old Town. The drink is good, but not burn your hand off good. I also wish they offered size options. I`ve also tried their iced chocolate drink(think drinking chocolate), and it was just okay. I was hoping to get a drinking chocolate similar to ones I`ve had before at other chocolate shops, but this was a bit of a let down. Womp womp. My main gripe is with their customer service. Getting a drink is a bit of a mess with a lot of waiting involved, a line backed up out the door, and a small area there is not much room to wait in. I think they need a better flow to get the drinks out faster so that a line doesn't start to back up and cause hasty drink making. Only my opinion. One last issue is that the employees I have encountered were not really friendly. They were fine, but seem annoyed and that is probably because it gets busy and a bit hectic, but please don`t take it out on your patrons. I`m sorry that we want chocolate drinks. Yesterday I went with my mom and we discovered that the champurrado was out, which is what we had come for, and my mom was a bit bummed. I asked the employee if they knew when the drink would be available again. They gave a half hearted and mumbled "I`m not sure" and when my mom was talking about how she was disappointed, the employee seemed irate and dismissive. The whole interaction gave me the ick. I`m not sure I`ll be back when I`m in Old Town again. read more

PHENOMENAL VEGAN CHAMPURRADO! I'm a major fan of this traditional Mexican chocolate shop! They're changing the game in the chocolate world with their fresh ingredients and vegan options! The champurrado is a MUST, I recommend pairing it with oat milk! You can also substitute other items with almond, soy, and other non-dairy options! The Mexican Hot Chocolate is also an excellent choice no matter the season! Nibble Chocolate's other main event is their truffles and bite-sized treats. If you're looking for pre-packaged specialty treats they're also available here! There's also a selection of chocolate adjacent products that chocolate lovers will surely love. The shop screams Mexican culture, I love the authenticity! The gentleman at the front was super sweet (pun intended) and was very courteous. Nibble Chocolate is behind Casa De Reyes. read more

Unbelievably delicious hot chocolate! So good. The cafe de olla was good, but I've had better in San Diego. That said, I was thrilled they had it, and it still hit the spot. Cafe de olla is heavenly! The service was outstanding. They were so friendly and we had a great conversation. The ambiance was great. A very nice upscale well designed chocolate shop that serves wonderful drinks. We look forward to going back. read more

My bf and I don't really get the food here we mostly get like drinks but I will say the coffee, chocolate, teas and even the truffles are really good ! 10/10. The cashier/s are always super nice and sometimes really good in recommending drinks if you don't know what to get !. It's a cute little space hidden behind the restaurant "Casa De Reyes" read more

Wow!!! Excellent coffee, best we've had in San Diego. Chocolates so very moorish. We had a sample of the coffee, raspberry and lemon truffles. Flavors were so well balanced with the rich chocolate. But the best was the chocolate chip, salted cookie. Oh my, absolutely lush. Just slightly sweet and the salt is just a fantastic addition to the ensemble on the palette. read more

Small, cute shop tucked away in Old Town...we almost missed it. They've got a small variety of individual pieces and boxes from which to choose, as well as coffee. We were looking for a treat to bring back to the neighbors, but my hubby felt he needed a box as well. Nice 8 piece variety packs with a fun assortment. The organic chocolates themselves are very neatly presented. Contrary to what he expected, he actually enjoyed the lemon and the Mexican truffles the most, fabulous and fun flavors. Overall, he enjoyed the whole box. read more

We happened to pass by Nibble while doing our souvenir shopping with a friend who's visiting from out of town. My friend picked up some chocolates and when we got to the cashier we saw an interesting drink on their menu and we decided to try. It was hot chocolate, u can choose a variety of combinations: with rose water, strawberry chocolate, spicy Mexican chocolate and more. We chose rose water with oatmilk. It was so good. Expect to wait a while, though. There was only 1 person working, and she was both the barista and cashier. read more

Extremely Cute Shop and Concept. I ordered an iced mango peach green tea with a dark raspberry chocolate truffle. The lady at the counter was very informative and answered all my questions. I loved that idea is not to over indulge but to savor "nibble" the chocolate. I also tried a sample of the mango dark chocolate it was AMAZING! Highly recommend stopping in and trying their locally made chocolates. read more

This chocolate is awesome. The best all around. I have tried many in the recent past. Not too bitter & not too sweet.Don't expect to taste any flavor in the chocolate. I was sooo looking forward to the mango flavor....it's not discernable, so don't get your mouth set. No raspberry or maple flavor discernable in either of those bars. read more

Very small shop and it took a few minutes to get assistance, but when we did the employee was knowledgeable and provided excellent information. I appreciated being asked about specific nut allergies prior to making a purchase. The truffles are amazing. SO GOOD! Truffles aren't difficult to make, but it taes skill to make them well. The fact that everything is fairly sourced, organic and made locally is wonderful. We alsopurchased a chocolate flight and are looking forward to tasting everything. We will definitely return. read more

Spontaneous trip to get some chocolate to take for a friend on a trip and came upon this hidden gem. Chocolate was so exquisite and authentic. They had some really creative flavors with tequila and what not. We were really surprised. It was late in the evening so most of the samples were out, but whatever we got to taste was really good. Guy working at the store was also very friendly and recommended some good options for making a gift box and put it together for us as well. read more

Cute chocolate shop with fantastic design and lots of history about cacao, where ingredients come from and how how the delicious chocolate we all love to savor is made. The store is tucked behind the restaurant Casa de Reyes but is not to be missed as the smell of cacao will intoxicate your senses in a nice way. The people working there are very knowledgeable and you can get samples of pieces from Brazil, Madagascar...any cacao producer country. Love it. Samples is always the way to go, thanks for that! read more

Stumbled upon Nibble chocolate in Old Town after conducting a Yelp search on where to find some good coffee. Not only did we find some good coffee, but we also found a damn good chocolate shop as well. I can't even name all of the different types of chocolate my friend and I had free samples of. Each one was just as good as the last, and that iced Mocha I had was so rich, smooth, and delicious. After speaking with Justin, the man who made our drinks he let us know a little about Nibble's history and their plans to expand into other areas. I really enjoyed Nibble and wish them much success moving forward in the future. read more

Such a cute little chocolate and coffee shop. They make vegan and gluten free chocolates here so I got a box of assorted to take home! For coffee drinks I had iced mocha oat milk, hubby had iced black coffee. The coffee drinks were strong and tasty. There are some interesting displays and photos throughout the store. Now I know chocolate grows on trees and from South America! Definitely come in for some pick-me-up chocolate tasting or coffee drinks whenever you are in old town San Diego! read more

Stopped by this vegan chocolate shop in Old Town for post dinner treat of hot chocolate ($4.50). I think it was made from their El Salvadorian mix. Smooth and rich. Oat, soy, and almond milk at no extra charge but wished regular cow milk was an option. Store offers 72%, 85% single origin chocolate bars, bars with mixed nuts/fruits, and hot chocolate mixes. Perfect for the chocolate lover! read more

Wow! So good! Very glad we stumbled upon this somewhat hidden gem on a rect trip to SD, it was the prefect pit stop for a day of walking around old town. This particular day was a bit chilly so we decided on a Mexican-style hot chocolate and it was AMAZING! Super rich but not overly sweet, it was great! We loved it so much we bought an extra cup and even purchased some hot chocolate powder to go. We also grabbed a few of their 70% Cacao from Mexico and it was delicious! We will definitely be visiting again on our future trips to SD and old town. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Huge line outside this place throughout the evening that we were there, before and after dinner. Feel bad since there was only a single worker handling all the orders... With how busy and crowded it was , I didn't want to bother the worker to ask about the chocolate sampling. They have chocolate bars for sale, mugs and tumblers, truffles, and some pastries. My friend got a Mexican hot chocolate, it has a slight cinnamon taste, but a very dark chocolate flavor and I got a Champurrado here with soy milk. It was slightly sweet with mostly the flavor of dark chocolate mixed with the thickness of the masa. The top of the drink was pretty foamy, so a good bit of the drink was that, just foam, and it is a pretty small sized cup to begin with (8 oz short size at Starbucks if that helps). All of this is was around $6, maybe one day I'll try again on a less busy day and try the chocolate tasting. read more

Strolling around Fiesta de Reyes on New Year's Day of 2022, we stumbled upon NIBBLE CHOCOLATE and were immediately excited to see that they were offering CHAMPURRADO. Instantly, we knew that we were going to return here for an after-dinner drink. When we came back after dining, I honestly was indecisive as to what I wanted to order; their menu had several offerings that caught my eye (SPECIALTY HOT CHOCOLATE + DOUBLE SHOT OF ESPRESSO + MEXICAN TRADITIONAL, CHAMPURRADO, SPECIALTY COFFEE CAFE DE OLLA LATTE, ICED CHOCOESPRESSO, ICED CHOCOLATE HORCHATA, ICED CHOCOLATE DE OLLA). Cielo and I went with CHAMPURRADOS and my husband and mother-in-law ordered DRIP COFFEES. Hubby said that the coffee was standard, nothing special. Although I found the CHAMPURRADO on the thin side and Cielo claimed that the maza flavour was initially a bit strong, we both were pleased with our drinks. They were very nice to sip on while walking outside on a cold winter night. Kudos to NIBBLE CHOCOLATE for being FULLY vegan - YAY! ...and bonus points for the Free CHOCOLATE TASTINGs - just ask them for it! If you are a chocoholic, this place is most definitely for you - they also sell powdered chocolate, truffles, chocolate bars, ice cream, pastries, desserts, etc. I did mention that all of their products are vegan, right? They also have molinillos for sale! This shop is a gem, especially for vegans. I will definitely return to try another drink and maybe even a truffle. read more

Stopped in for an afternoon coffee pick-me up, and was pleasantly surprised it was a vegan coffee and chocolate shop. Ordered the rose cardamon latte with almond milk. Latte had a nice aromatic rose flavor, but the barista was a little heavy handed with the dried rose topping. While aesthetically pleasing, dried roses are not very pleasing to eat. They had a couple other latte flavors that sounded worth coming back to try. read more

I'm so glad I finally found this amazing little store after countless visits to Old Town. With a simple and minimalistic layout, the store tastefully displays all the different kinds of chocolatey treats they offer without overwhelming customers. My littles chose to try the Mango dark chocolate bar and the non dairy Strawberry Cream Oatmilk bar and I found kept asking them to share their goodies with me- they were so yummy! The store also has a fresh baked goods and drinks. We were too full after lunch to try them but will definitely be returning to try more. read more

Looking for a hot chocolate to warm up from a cold night while I'm waiting for my bus so stopped by here and so glad I did! Staff was super friendly and welcoming and offered samples of their delicious Peru chocolate. If I wasn't getting hot chocolate, I would have certainly gotten a chocolate bar! He recommend the Mexican hot chocolate and even attempted to write my Chinese name on the cup. A+ for effort, no one has ever tried that before! The hot chocolate ($4.50 pre tax & tip) was warm and ready to drink with a delightfully frothy top that almost spilled over! The process in making it looked so intricate and the light cinnamon and vanilla flavors truly elevate it from a normal hot chocolate. It's never too early or too chocolate for some hot chocolate. Come here for a warm, hospitable cup of deliciousness! read more
