I'd heard of Deux Cranes but always assumed they were in downtown Los Gatos. I was surprised and…read morepleased to discover the chocolate shop next door to the restaurant I was meeting a friend at for lunch in a shopping center off Union. I'd read on Yelp they have amazing chocolate so I knew I was in for a treat. The shop is small but elegant, with clean, minimalist displays. Their offerings include chocolate bars, bon bons, rocher, caramels, cookies, and more. I asked if they have my favorite, dark chocolate covered almonds, and was handed a large bar beautifully packaged in a dark green box. The box said the almonds were roasted with white miso, making it savory and umami-filled. I said I'd take it. I also purchased a small bag of dark chocolate crispy marshmallow rocher. The chocolate was, of course, delicious. I can't quite explain the taste of the almond bar, but it is the type of chocolate you eat a small piece of at a time in order to savor the flavor. (This is in contrast to my usual method of quickly gobbling it up). The rocher is a little bitter, but scrumptious with crispy puffed rice. Deux Cranes chocolates and confections would make the perfect gift or served as dessert after a special meal. I'm looking forward to patronizing the shop again in the future.

I received a box of 16 handmade bonbons, with 2 of each of the 8 different wonderful flavors, for Valentine's Day. It's such a beautiful box with different geometric shapes and colors. Even their bag and tissue paper were so pretty. I loved that the box came with an illustrated key so that I could find out which flavors were included. 4 of them were from their Valentine's Day Collection. They're all pretty bold and unique flavor combinations: . Orange Kokuto Bonbon - Bright orange jelly paired with rich Okinawa black sugar ganache for a complex, caramelized depth . Raspberry Lime Bonbon - A vibrant burst of tangy raspberry balanced with zesty lime . Passionfruit Coconut Bonbon - Tropical passionfruit jelly layered with silky coconut cream ganache and coconut shortbread cookie butter . Madagascar Vanilla Bonbon - Pure dark chocolate Madagascar single-origin couverture with delicate Madagascar vanilla The other 4 from their permanent collection were also very special: . Passionfruit Tequila . Dark Chocolate Vanilla . Miso Almond Praline . Saké They're all very smooth, rich, and delicious with delicately layered flavors. I loved them all! If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the Orange Kokuto Black Sugar.

It was samples of their chocolate hazelnut which was delicious. The quality of the chocolate higher tier and you can taste it. You can also try samples of the other chocolates they have on display which is awesome. I tried their matcha dark and white chocolate fusion and it was so yummy. Perfect blend between the matcha and the chocolate flavors. You also can break the amount of chocolate that you want and it could even be as small as a sample size too. I believe the cost is by how much it weighs and the type of chocolate? I ended up getting the smaller pieces of the matcha chocolate and the hazelnut chocolate. It came out to be $11.47 for both the chocolates and I have attached a pic to show you. They nicely package it. I def recommend trying this place. The workers here are also very nice! Loved my experience! Also was here around 6pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't too busy.

I really appreciated how generous they were with samples, you can explore different flavors before deciding what to buy. I tried the hazelnut chocolate and loved it. They also had a wide variety to choose from, like Dubai chocolate, truffle milk, truffle caramel, and some nicely packaged gift sets with mixed flavors. Everything looked beautiful and tasted just as good. The quality really just... the best, and you can tell it's premium chocolate. You honestly can't go wrong here, whether to buy for yourself or choosing gift (and chocolate makes the best gifts). It's definitely a spot I'd come back to when I want to buy gifts for my family!

I've tried numerous different types and all of them are just "meh." I mean, a bag of Haribo from 7-11 is sometimes better which isn't saying much. I've also been disappointed with their chocolates. The last few truffles I've tried from here have had a waxy texture and taste to them. To say that is disappointing is an understatement. If I'm paying this much I should be enjoying what I'm eating. Or at least not wishing I'd just bought see's instead. I'm just overall disappointed with lolli and pops and I don't think I will be returning.

They have so many delicious offerings. Truffles, salted caramels, fudge, toffee, creams, nuts, fruits, and more. They also have pre-packaged boxes. And a little freezer with Marianne's ice cream! It was hard to decide. I ended up getting several pieces of dark chocolate almond clusters and a pistachio truffle. When I checked out, she gave me a complimentary piece of orange crème chocolate. The owners are so nice. Every time I've been in their shop the've been warm and friendly and helpful. I've eaten a couple of the almond clusters and they are excellent.

This would be a great place to have a small relaxing breakfast. There are several places inside to enjoy your goodies. Both desserts, that I purchased, were so delicious.
