Stumbled upon Nibble Chocolate and I'm so glad I did. Ambience is sweet and cozy. It's a cute little shop that feels like a hidden gem, especially if you're someone who appreciates good quality chocolate. 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. read more

I don't usually seek out vegan products, but Nibble chocolate is a Bean to bar chocolate shop in little Italy in San Diego with single origin chocolates. 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. read more

Stopped in after a tour nearby, as I simply cannot just walk by a chocolate shop. The woman working wasn't super helpful or friendly, as she seemed more keen to assist others in the shop. Regardless, I purchased a strawberry oat chocolate bar and my boyfriend purchased a few others. The samples I tried in the shop were tasty. Prices were reasonable for the quality. I probably would've purchased more if there had been more active engagement. read more

Great selection on drinks and chocolate. I love that there is non dairy options. The chocolate was delicious. I recommend you visit this place to get your chocolate fix. My wifey ordered a raspberry chocolate truffle and chocolate de Olla. She is hard to please woman and when she says "this is the best drink ever and the raspberry chocolate is very good" that means this place is great and you should come visit!!!! I ordered the oat mexican hot chocolate and Dubai chocolate and both were very delicious!!! The two drinks and two chocolates were about 21 bucks. Money well spent for a small boutique chocolate place. read more

Walked into this cute little shop not expecting much - but as soon as I stepped on the door I saw it: free samples of chocolate. SOLD. I sampled three different flavors of chocolate and each of them were so rich and decadent....I couldn't pick a favorite. The man that was working the counter was busy making drinking chocolate so we perused the shop and picked up a few things. My husband grabbed some chocolate covered dates that looked fantastic and I snagged a Dubai bar with some amazing quality chocolate. Do not miss this place if you love high quality chocolate!! Such a fun find!! read more

The employees are always very friendly. My favorite things to get at Nibble are the iced latte (I can't remember the exact name but it has cinnamon in it) and the Iced Chai Latte with Oat Milk. Not the dirty Chai, but the regular one. It tastes like the milk after eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Nibble also has a location in Old Town, which was there before the Little Italy location opened. They also have a location in PB. I like their chocolate bars from the different countries. They also have really cute gifts. This location also sells pastries. Everything is vegan. read more

The service is excellent. Had all my questions answered about the different hot chocolate options. I went with a traditional Mexican hot chocolate and loved the taste and warmth of vanilla and cinnamon in my drink. Go try it out! read more

Nibble Chocolate offers both dark and milk varieties. All of their chocolates are vegan friendly and delicious! They currently only have locations in San Diego, so a souvenir from Nibble Chocolate would be extra special. They have samples of their dark and milk bars. I'm not sure if this promotion is still valid, but on the day of my visit, I received $1 off each bar if I purchased four in total. They also have truffles and chocolate covered dates. For the 8-piece truffle set, you can buy a variety pack of one of each flavor or customize your own box. read more

Nibble Chocolate is a cute little shop in Little Italy (with other locations in PB and Old Town) that's perfect for a quick treat or a thoughtful gift. They handcraft all their chocolates right in San Diego, which adds a nice local touch. You can sample their chocolates before choosing, and they also offer a solid coffee menu if you're in the mood for a sip and a snack. They sell chocolate bars, truffles, and tasting flights, all nicely packaged and great for gifting. When we visited, the young gentleman working there was very helpful and had our coffees made quickly. It's a fun little stop if you're in the area--especially for chocolate lovers looking to try something local! read more

I came here for an early morning pick me up and this place really caught my eye! First of all, I love that they have individually packed samples of all the chocolate types here. FYI, everything in the store is vegan. I was initially disappointed when I heard this, but went ahead and tried the Mocha anyway. I promise you will not be disappointed!

I was casually walking to Little Italy and wanted to stop somewhere for a coffee. What can I say? I love chocolate, so Nibble Chocolate instantly caught my eye. I didn't even know it was called Nibble. The signage I saw said "Chocolate Maker," and I thought to myself, "Don't mind if I do!" I was in the shop around 10am, which wasn't busy at all. This was great as I got to take my time to take in the drink menu and admire the truffles on display. The employee at the time was such a sweetheart and explained everything to me. She told me about how their store was completely vegan, and she walked me through the different iced drinks they had. I appreciated that she asked if I had any nut allergies. I tried the vanilla oat truffle, which was rich and not too sweet. I enjoyed the texture of the nuts inside it. The Chocolate de Olla iced chocolate was fantastic. It consisted of chocolate, piloncillo (raw cane sugar), and cinnamon syrup. read more

Decent coffee. I got the maple cinnamon latte with coconut milk. They normally due 3 pumps of the maple syrup but i opted for just 1 since I prefer my drinks on the lighter sweeter side. It was very quite in the shop; if you want a quick breather from the busyness of little Italy I would definitely recommend this spot. The young lady in the front was sweet too. She answered all my questions and was real mellow. Chill ambience. read more

I was biking around downtown and came up a little plaza to stop at and stumbled upon this place, so I decided to come in for a coffee. I walked in happy with a smile on my face and came out a little less so. The barista was not really welcoming rudand the ambiance could be a little better but the coffee was decent enough for the price. Likely no reason to come back what with all the other phenomenal coffee spots just a couple blocks away in Little Italy but you won't be too upset if this was the only one open. read more

Delicious, clean chocolate. The attendant offered free samples of chocolate, and was both helpful and knowledgeable.

I'm a big fan of Nibble Chocolate -- their quality is consistently top-tier, and I love that everything is vegan, ethically made, and clearly crafted with care. Their hot chocolate is some of the best I've had, and the truffles? Worth the trip. That said, I had an uncomfortable experience at the Little Italy location today. After spending around $25 and tipping generously, I noticed the staff member (a young white man behind the counter with an accent that sounded vaguely Dutch or Belgian) eyeing me and then stepping outside to smoke. It wasn't clear at first, but he was trying to photograph me without asking and without me noticing -- which I did. Moments later, he asked to take a photo for social media -- but no context, no offer of appreciation or exchange, just a vague request after already making me feel a little surveilled. As someone who models and deeply respects the art of exchange -- especially in small business -- I expected more thoughtfulness. A simple acknowledgment or gesture in return would've gone a long way. At the very least, the request could have come before the creeping behavior, not after. By contrast, the staff member I met yesterday at the Old Town location showed a lot more presence and respect -- and I appreciated that. Still love the chocolate. Still recommend the brand. But if you're going to ask customers to be part of your brand image, especially women -- especially women of color -- you need to bring more respect, clarity, and reciprocity to the table. read more

Dark chocolate is one of my favorite desserts and Nibble chocolate has a small but high quality selection of packaged chocolates and truffles. Their truffles are all vegan! I opted for the raspberry and coffee flavor. They are very transparent with their ingredients and cacao bean sources and the staff reached out to answer any questions. There's a bit of table space outside but ample seating inside. They had a sampling of four different kinds of chocolate and we took the Peru bar home. They also sell nibble jars on the display shelves if you don't want to break the bar into pieces! It is a small and hidden shop on the other end of Little Italy, but I'm glad to have noticed it. read more

I enjoyed a very good hot chocolate from this Nibble Chocolate location in Little Italy. The dark chocolate blend with oat milk was very tasty. It offered a good depth of flavors and was not overly sweet. They offer tasters of their fine chocolates. The chocolates they offer are vegan. Chocolate Gift boxes are available. They do offer baked good but are not made by Nibble, but a local bakery. The young lady Angie who was working during my visit was super nice and quite informative regarding Nibble's products. read more

UPDATE: I just had the truffles... sensational!! If you love dark, creamy, flavorful rich chocolate, and might even describe yourself as a purest, these speak that language fluently! Stopped around the corner to grab my mail and noticed this little place tucked away! Excitedly bought a couple truffles for later and thought I'd grab something different to drink. OH MY... I tried their Dirty Maple Latte with oat milk.... YUM, YUM, YUM!!!! Ask them to tell you about the superfoods as that's what pulled me in and the drink itself was OH SO YUMMY! Besides the fact that their branding is done exceptionally well. Sophistication meets fun, joy and pleasure! Hope you enjoy! read more

Fantastic find in Little Italy. Strolling through Little Italy on a recent trip to San Diego, I see a sandwich board on the proclaiming free chocolate tasting. So of course, the chocolate snob I am, I had to stop. The gentleman that helped me was incredible. This is quite the company. Their handcrafted truffles are vegan. The cacao beans are sourced from small, sustainable farms from Brazil, Madagascar, Dominican Republic, and Peru. He was me through their total processing. And explained each sample of the various raw chocolate they used. They offer the products in bar form from the four countries and are different percentages. They have a display case of the eight flavors of truffles they create. I tried two- the dark chocolate center and the coffee, both devine. I recommend if you're in the neighborhood to check them out. Take the and the staff walk you through the shop and the process. read more

This local gourmet chocolatier has opened a branch in the southern part of the Little Italy neighborhood. Hot and iced chocolate, coffee, and tea were offered as drinks while baked goods complemented the chocolate bars and truffles that were on sale. Free samples of the different chocolate profiles were available. It seemed that the darker versions with a higher percentage of Brazilian cacao beans were the specialty of this place. At the service counter, handcrafted vegan truffles of various flavors were on display. I purchased a few of them at $2.50 apiece. Raspberry, Pomegranate Sea Salt, Chai, and Mexican were my choices. The Mexican had the most interesting flavors because of the chili, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon that added spiciness to the chocolate. If you are a chocoholic looking for a kick after dinner in this area, walk down to this store and give them a try. read more

Great quality chocolate. Welcoming staff greeted us on a cold afternoon. We popped in for a gander and was introduced to some chocolate samples from different regions. Nibble offers chocolate bars, 'powdered' hot chocolate in the form of nibblets, truffles and more. They also have hot chocolate made to order! I got the peppermint hot chocolate with oat milk (it's great the non dairy options are free of charge). The drink was only slightly too minty but it was rich. I prefer milk chocolate as the dark is too sweet however the quality of chocolate was evident. read more

Pros: - Owner was so sweet! - Vegan, options available. - Service was fast - Ambiance was homey and very clean. Cons: None! Overall: I would defiantly have this on my list of places to visit again in SD. read more
