Hidden-gem chocolatier located near HFS Market. I stopped by as it was suggested on my maps & I am so glad I did. I got the twin pack chocolate with peanut caramel crunch + Hazelnut ganache. The chocolate was delightful & rich. It is made in-house, and they have some seasonal flavors as well. I got to meet the owner and she was very kind, per our conversation they also sell on Little Italy farmer's market in case you missed them during the week. read more

These are the best chocolates I have tried in a very long time. My favorite is the orange glaze. The flavors are exquisite and I find them to be the upmost quality. Kudos for this new chocolate representation in San Diego! The packaging is so adorable too! read more

Rayluca is the chocolate sponsor for the company I work for (Mainly Mozart). I had a very urgent last-minute need for 20 boxes of chocolate and even though Maria was out of town, she made sure I was taken care of. Rayluca goes above and beyond to take care of their clients. We are very appreciate and grateful for their continued generosity and SUPERB chocolates. We provide our chocolates for our Savor Every Note concert series where we combine world-class classical music, wine, and chocolates at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. Our guests absolutely love the chocolates and often ask for more. We cannot recommend Rayluca enough. Thank you!!! read more

Rayluca Chocolate - Box of 9 chocolates - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

You definitely did not have a longer line, it was the same amount as every other vendor there (please don't try to falsely inflate yourself while demeaning others yet again). However the difference was whenever people were next in line they were actually helped by the other vendors, while you completely ignored people right in front of you completely at your will. Perhaps it's discrimination as I can't think of any other reason, why you'd skip over specific people... Sorry that we are not all blonde hair and white skin like you. As far as the quality, I believe the person who was purchasing had reports from her customers that they had gotten sick and she stopped purchasing to carry your product. In either case even if it happened to be the most delicious product in the world, with a bad attitude and poor treatment of people you can't go too far as a business. read more

We stumbled on this via Yelp. Thanks Yelp. Off the beaten path in an unassuming office park sits something special. We walked in and wondered if we had the right place, but a warm smile and welcoming aroma greeted us. They are small, artisanal small, but their sampling room still feels like a hip day spa. We were greeted by the owner, Raluca, who is clearly very excited to share what she makes, and it shows. She is happy to answer any questions and does so with a sparkling personality. She discussed ingredients, sources, processes, flavors, and final products. It was the most interesting Ted talk I've ever seen. Now let's discuss the chocolate. When Phil Rosenthal visited the French Laundry, head chef Thomas Keller made a point of showcasing how the thinner the chocolate shell, the higher the quality. Well, these chocolates have an almost paper thin shell. They use imported Belgian chocolate, and it pays off. Dark, rich flavors linger on the tongue and left me clambering for more. Their caramel gingerbread is an absolute delight. The flavors are all there, and the texture is perfect. The cherry tasted like the ideal chocolate covered dark cherry, like what a chocolate covered cherry aspires to be. Their coffee is sublime. Textures and flavors are all pleasant, and each piece was lovingly made by hand, in short, they taste as good as they look, and they look amazing. They are completely gluten and dairy free. They also ship nationwide. This place is worth a visit, if only to sample and enjoy an education on chocolate while relaxing at a day spa. But I'm betting you won't leave without taking some home. read more

Incredibly high quality chocolate, the chocolate bark is great but the peanut butter bar is simply amazing, best chocolate I had all year. Call before coming into ensure they are in since they travel for their business. read more

I had put my wife in charge to get some chocolates for our son stockings for Xmas, and was totally disappointed in the quality. Just saw the price tag of $24 for the few chocolates, and must say this is just outrageous. If you know european chocolates, these chocolates are a very pale comparison. There were few, but supersize (way too big) and simply not good. A true "chocolatier" would never make something like this. read more

Updating my review based on responses: 1) free samples are free sample. You overcharged us by $5 like you mentioned and you came to our house and demanded the free sample back in exchange for the $5. You guys refused to give us the "small $5 difference" that you overcharged us by. This was outrageous 2) yes I spent so much money that I received a $50 discount and yet you guys didn't honor the free hot chocolate promo your own website states. No where on your site does it say your own promos don't apply during that period The lack of accountability for your own subpar customer service is really telling... you can at least own up to what you guys did and not try to twist the truth of what you admitted ** Original: Products are a hit or miss. Customer service is consistently awful. The website advertised free hot chocolate with 3 items purchased but when we received the order (of 8 items) they didn't include the free hot chocolate and said it's because I got a Black Friday discount so I didn't qualify. The website had the free hot chocolate advertised during this period and there was no fine print anywhere that said otherwise. We've had a previous instance where they included a free sample and then demanded it back after there was an issue with our order and they overcharged us. Really bizarre customer service... read more

Everything I tasted I immediately loved! The kind of sweetness that doesn't hurt . Grabbed a box at the Chocolate Fair in Bellevue where they stood out among many. I am looking forward to our trip to San Diego in November to get more. read more

The bars are always fresh and natural tasty, my favorite flavors are peanuts and almonds. Also try the s'mores + raspberries bounties and don't forget the Hot Chocolate, is amazing, creamy and full of flavor. read more

The chocolate candy is delicious. The carrot cake is beyond bad. It had so much frosty that you can't taste anything else. 95% of the carrot cake went into the trash as it was just horrible. It was one of the worst cakes I have ever eaten. Carrot cake is one my favorite cakes. I had friends tell me that the famous cake is a good thing. For the cost of the cake and how bad the carrot cake was, I am not sure if I want to order from this company again. read more

rayluca's chocolates are the sweets i have been searching for my whole life. i love chocolate, but i often find most desserts to be too sweet which leaves one with an upset stomach and increased sugar cravings. however, rayluca manages to craft the most delicious, satisfying, and indulgent treats with clean, quality ingredients that leave your mind, body, and soul absolutely content and fulfilled. they offer chocolates that are dairy free, gluten free, soy free, vegan, paleo, made with organic ingredients and no refined sugar. i'll admit, they are pricey, but it makes sense when considering the ingredients, taste, and quality of the product. i originally found them at the hillcrest farmers market that happens on sundays, but you can also order from their website! i highly recommend giving them a try :) read more

We first bought at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market/San Diego, but will continue to buy online when we return home. Sooo good! read more
