I came in about an hour before closing and got the medium rectangular gift box as a Valentine's Day…read moregift. I really like that you can choose exactly how many of each flavor you want in your box. I didn't realize that before, but it's a great option because you could literally get one of everything if you wanted to try them all. I chose orange, citron/lemon, caramel, earl grey, espresso, raspberry, and hazelnut. There was also a vegan raspberry option since the regular raspberry had sold out for the day, and honestly you couldn't tell the difference. It was delicious. I also tried the lemon in store, and the raspberry was my favorite. One small thing is that once they're bagged up, it can be a little hard to tell which flavor is which since they look pretty similar on the outside. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind if you're trying to remember what's what. The owner mentioned he's had the shop for 30 years, which you can feel when you're in there. He took the time to neatly tie up the box and even gave me two complimentary pieces. The shop itself is tiny and charming with a good variety of flavors. A friend of mine has been coming here since childhood, and now I understand the hype. I'll definitely be back.

Tried a friend's fresh guava juice (super refreshing) and decided to go to Fruitful Dreams the next…read moreday. Small outdoor vendor in Chinatown, but there was a line to take orders! Got the Sun-Kissed Peach Blend fruit tea. Had a feeling strawberry would overpower the peach, but still wanted to try it anyway. And it was just as I expected; drink was ok (could've been a little sweeter). Aside from how the drink tasted; service was not the best. After we saw 3-4 people behind us get their drinks, I asked the front cashier on the status of my friend's drink. Her response was "i don't know, there's a lot of drinks being made." Looks like they prioritize making tanghulu (sweet fruit treats) over prepping drinks. Turns out my friend's drink was lost in the mix of orders. Had to flag down the employee working in the back to ask about the drink; which the cashier could've easily done instead of saying idk. Waited 25 mins before friend got her drink... Experience was not the best and drink was ok. However, I would give this place another chance and order something different. Just gotta be proactive about making sure your drink is actually getting prepped.

I saw this shop while roaming around Embarcadero center . It's the replacement for the See 's candy…read moreshop that was there . It's very clean looking and bright. The thing that attracted me first was the mixed taffy package in the window . So I wandered in they have lovely huge suckers , different taffy's , gummies . Some things not sure which now are made in house others are ordered. They moved in last November the clerk was very competent and explained all the details. So I got a nice sucker of course a package of mixed taffy's and some gummies for $20 . Very pleasant habit . Many chocolate bars also right next to the bus stop .They are open 6 days a week never on Sunday till 6 pm and 5 on Friday s From 11 am give them a holler

Inside the former See's Candy shop is Cheeky Bits Sweets…read more The shop reminds me of when I was a teenager, and after playing tennis with a buddy, we would go to his house, and his Italian mom would whip up a batch of something good to eat. In San Francisco, there are a load of chocolate choices. Some are artisanal. Others are exotic. We have our iconic Bay Area ones, too. But this place is like a visit to my tennis buddy's family kitchen. The chocolates here are wholesome and homespun. The décor is bright and cheerful, like the shop owner. So go treat yourself to some dark chocolate almond toffees (they are really good and award winning) and experience a little bit of home on the ground floor of Embarcadero 3.

Our family first discovered Teuscher years ago during a trip to Boston, and we instantly fell in…read morelove with the chocolate. Living in Denver, we rarely get the chance to visit one, so whenever we're in a city with a Teuscher location, it's practically mandatory for us to stop by. This time happened to be San Francisco, where we once again stocked up on their incredible assortment of dark chocolates. Our absolute favorite, hands down, is the dark chocolate pistachio -- rich, smooth, and dangerously addictive. Now, fair warning: this place isn't cheap. But you truly get what you pay for. The quality is unmistakably premium, and every piece feels thoughtfully crafted rather than mass-produced. The San Francisco shop itself is charming and inviting, and the staff has always been warm, friendly, and happy to help guide you through the selection. Highly recommend for any serious chocolate lover.

Magical Ice Cream is a fun, vibrant spot in the city with a creative menu and a great atmosphere,…read morebut the consistency when it comes to their beverage line is a bit hit-or-miss. The ice cream itself is fantastic--rich, smooth, and full of flavor. However, their drink menu (like their specialty sweet teas and ice cream floats) suffers from major variance in sweetness levels from visit to visit. On one trip, a signature drink might be perfectly balanced with just the right level of sugar to let the natural flavors shine through. On the next visit, ordering the exact same item at the standard sweetness level can end up overpoweringly sugary to the point where it overpowers everything else. If you visit, stick to the scoops or ask the staff if they can adjust the syrup/sweetness levels down on the drinks to be safe. It's a great local dessert shop, but more standardized prep on the beverage side would easily turn this into a 5-star experience.

I can't give The Candy Store anything less than 5 stars due to their incredible candy selection…read more I think they carried all the heavy hitters of Swedish candy in every flavor imaginable. We got so many different varieties of candy and everything was great. Only annoying part is they have to scoop it for you. Which I get in a hygienic practice, but extremely inconvenient to get a large selection and try many different flavors. You're subject to the scoop they do and don't get to really individualize your bag.

I walked in and the store is very cute. I saw on the Noah Kahan website they were a local business he was partnering with. They had special candy that he himself likes and gave me a free candy and a Noah Kahan postcard, too! Knocking off 2 stars because service was not good! 2 young women were standing around chatting. They didn't stop to welcome me in or offer help! We only talked when I went to the cash register.
