Cute inside decor. Was really craving brigadeiros so I came around closing time. Overpriced brigadeiros for it's quality. Brigadeiros are supposed to be smooth on the inside and 6 out of the 8 brigadeiros I got in the box were dry. Milk chocolate and coconut were good. Save your money and go to another Brazilian store. read more

This is my new favorite place to come to for truffles. For my birthday, some work colleagues got me a gift box of 4 truffles and another box of 4 brigadeiro cookies. Everything I received was delicious but the truffles were out of this world. I had an assortment of flavors, including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, almond, and coconut. The chocolates were melt in your mouth and rich without being overwhelmingly sweet. They're petite and the perfect size to pop into your mouth to enjoy throughout the day. The cookies are also good, especially after being popped into the microwave for 7 seconds - very unique and different than your typical chocolate chip cookie, and were the perfect size for an after dinner treat. read more

My family's from Brazil and we used to always eat brigadeiros. We decided to order brigadeiros and the brigadeiro cookies from here. IT WAS SO DELICIOUS!!! We had it shipped to washington and it arrived fresh and packaged well. We ordered 5 different flavors. 1. Banana Cinnamon and Dark Chocolate 2. Passion Fruit and white chocolate 3. Pineapple and coconut 4. Strawberry Lemonade 5. Raspberry They tasted fresh, sweet, and amazing! We know how to make original brigadeiros but not unique flavors like this and we were pleasantly surprised! The brigadeiro cookies were soft, chewy and not too sweet which was nice as we don't like overly sweet things. We wished we ordered more! We will be ordering from here again. read more

I received a small box of these chocolates at an event and my excitement about having gotten brigadeiros (I've developed an affection for these Brazilian treats from a bakery in my college town) was quickly met with disappoint when I had a bite of these dry and one dimensional tasting chocolates. I had the Dark Chocolate and Strawberry Cheesecake flavors in my little box. As cute as the packaging was, the chocolates were suspiciously dry looking and ending up tasting just as such. The flavors weren't bad, just the strawberry one was overly poignant and concentrated on the outside topping while the quote-unquote Dark Chocolate reminded me more of a Hershey's bar than the cocoa rich bitterness that I crave when I hear Dark Chocolate, i.e. it was sweet, but by no means particularly chocolatey. Although Tinyb seems to do fantastically well in terms of execution on gifts and large orders, the actual brigadeiro falls short of the experience that such a delightful treat can provide. read more

Staff are friendly and the chocolate is pretty decent, very rich and sweet and not quite as complex as...say...a chocolate bonbon with praline and whisky. We came here for a corporate bonding event, and the staff made sure that everyone knew what was going on, everyone had fun especially during the kitchen tour, and there was even a competition element to the event near the end.

AMAZING! I saw the brigadeiro on Instagram and knew I had to try them. Reached out on Instagram to see if they were still taking orders with everything going on. They got back to me super quickly and were super helpful. Naturally, I ordered both kinds because I couldn't decide on one. I was not disappointed at all. I made myself wait until I had an actual meal to eat one and that in itself was a tough feat. But what was even more tough was not eating ALL of them once I tried the first one. Amazing service. Amazing taste. Amazingly satisfied customer. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Am I the only one around here who pays attention to ingredients? A key ingredient is "Sweetened Condensed Milk" Google it. This is not something I want in my body. Goodness knows where the cow's milk comes from! Is it irradiated? Are the cows factory farmed in horrible conditions? Is this milk from China or another country? It scares me. And the amount of sugar used to sweeten this stuff is shocking. I took one itty bitty bite as the owner was saying that it's made with sweetened condensed milk - thank goodness I hadn't eat the entire sample. What tiny bit I did eat was so disgustingly sweet and the chemical-like after taste lingered for hours. Cute place though Eccentric business hours read more

I just want to say .. what an amazing and fun event! We had Tinyb come into our office for an event for several of our EA's, it was an incredibly fun way to spend an afternoon. I am always looking for unusual events to share with my teams and a way to have them fully engage with one-another, this was the event that did just that. Not only are you having fun, you are also learning to make and present high end chocolates that you can either eat or share! We chose to do both. This is a great team building activity as they will come to you and they provide just about everything you need for a successful and very affordable team building event. They can also neatly package their chocolates with your logo, for swag or corporate gift giving. The chocolate itself was smooth, rich, and delicious and so fun to create, and the staff is absolutely amazing. I would like to give a huge shout out to Bruna who made our event ridiculously fun and entertaining. If you are in charge of planning fun events for your team, I highly recommend Tinyb. read more

I entered TinyB Chocolate's Instagram Contest and was lucky to win a lovely box of their Brigadeiro chocolates! I've never tried these, but I'm now hooked. These soft balls of chocolate come in a variety of flavors and coats, all of which are yummy! My assortment came with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, pistachio, almonds, and coconut. Best part? The ingredients are ORGANIC! I can't help but feel guilt free as I indulge in this goodness. It's also GLUTEN-FREE for those that are GF. The packaging is beautiful! My order came in a pretty blue box (like a Tiffany's blue box) sealed with a festive ribbon. The owner, Renata, also included a handwritten note for me which I really appreciated. Something so simple definitely goes a long way! Thank you so much, Renata, for choosing me as your winner and allowing me to try my very first Brigadeiro from your store!

"If you're not gifting your customers, you're gifting the competition." Words to market by. At one point, I had a mini fridge in my shared office dedicated to storing Tinyb Brigadeiro boxes. The people that received them as gifts were ecstatic and those that never made it to said people were equally delicious. Their quality, deliciousness, gluten free status, and surprisingly low caloric content are great but it's their method that really sweetens the deal for me. Not only is their packaging top notch but the personal touch they deliver makes them an ideal thank you gift. Their systems, designed by a Stanford trained software engineer, allow you to have a personal touch at a reasonable price so you can focus on growing that list of people to thank. That's a big win in my book. read more

From the Business

Specialties

tinyB creates brigadeiros, a tiny bite of chocolate with an outrageous taste and a Brazilian soul. In Brazil, they're as cherished as soccer or carnaval. Their unique softness and creamy texture is paired with a chocolate intensity that's hard to match. tinyB's are gluten-free. They are made-to-order in San Francisco with organic milk and sugar and come in a variety of flavors.

History

Established in 2014.

Hi, my name is Renata and chocolate making has been part of my life since I was 12. I grew up in Brazil in a town near Sao Paolo named Itapeva. As the eldest of three sisters, when my mother needed help making chocolate she chose me. Something magical happened when I touched chocolate. Word spread throughout our town and requests started to pour in. Our chocolates became popular gifts and my mother and I, Itapeva's favorite chocolatiers. After I left home, I never thought I would make brigadeiros again until I fell in love with my husband in San Francisco. When we had our dream wedding on the beach in Brazil, of course we had brigadeiros. We knew San Francisco would love brigadeiros as much as my family and friends. That's how tinyB was born. Our tinyB's are about sharing care, love and attention. The kind of warmth you feel when you're a guest in a friend's home, at a family celebration or spending a cozy evening with someone you love. I hope you enjoy them.

Meet the Business Owner: Renata S.

For Renata, these treats bring back memories of childhood. She spent countless hours with her mother making brigadeiros for family, friends and neighbors and it was always worth the effort. They brought people together, smiling and enjoying the moment. We hope these brigadeiros will introduce you to the special delight that only comes from homemade treats.

My daughter ordered a cotton candy soft serve and then was handed a plain vanilla and told cotton candy was out. The male that was taking our order kept asking the girl who was sitting on the counter on her phone and she just kept saying they were out. It honestly felt like they just didn't want to make the drinks. Oh well I guess being in the mall you don't have to really worry about revenue or customer service. Having a girl sitting in a counter on her phone isn't the best look either but again not really my problem. What is my problem is paying $7 for an ice cream that we didn't even ask for. That's wild.

On our most recent visit, the restaurant wasn't busy, yet our group of four waited nearly 20 minutes for drinks, which didn't arrive until after we had finished our appetizers. The service throughout the meal felt slow and inattentive. The food quality has also declined. I ordered the fish tacos, and the cod had a noticeably fishy taste.

Ray, Pete and I…read morewalked in shortly before 9 PM for some caffeine after our dinner event at Rise Pizzeria, just down the street. Maison Alyzée is a French fine pastry bakery café located on downtown Burlingame's main strip. Dedicated to providing customers with a Parisian escape through handcrafted elegant pastries and artisanal breads, the bake shoppe doubles as pâtisserie and boulangerie, priding itself on meticulous attention to detail. Upon entry, we were welcomed by a brightly lit and very clean venue. Ray and I were immediately drawn to the beautiful marble-topped white counter that encased a gorgeous variety of exquisite treats. The commitment to the elegance of French culture and modern creativity were evident in every luxurious pastry and cake on display. Maison Alyzée is an order-at-the-counter establishment, so we made our purchase with a friendly staff member at the register. Unfortunately, we were told that espresso drinks were no longer available that night since the staff had already begun cleaning the machines. Ok....I never understand businesses that start shutting down things before closing time. This just shows customers that team convenience of closing shop quickly takes precedence over customer experience, essentially omitting availability of items from the menu while they are still open. For this reason, I am docking a star. Luckily, they still had some cold brew available, so I ordered a Lavender Cold Brew with oat milk. Heads-up: Plant-based milks like almond and oat milk incur a $0.75 surcharge. I wish that the lavender was more like a simple syrup, so that the flavour was sweeter and less sharp. Maison Alyzée also offers a selection of breakfast, lunch, and brunch options. I definitely need to return to try one or two or a few of their ostentatious delights.

Living on the Peninsula, we have plenty of options for exceptional coffee and pastries, which is…read morewhy the overall experience matters. I visited Maison Alyzee in Burlingame on a Saturday morning, and while the pastries were good, the service felt cold and dismissive. There was no rush, yet the staff was not warm or welcoming. I asked for my raisin au pain to be warmed up, and after waiting outside for about 10 minutes with no update, I went back in to ask. The response was "It's in the oven" was delivered rudely, as though my simple question was an inconvenience. Even when a café is busy, basic courtesy and communication should not be optional. Good food deserves to be matched by good hospitality.

Food Quality: ***** (Absolutely delicious and authentic!) Service: ***** (Incredibly friendly and helpful staff!) Ambiance: **** (Charming and inviting) Value: ***** (Great quality for the price, especially with samples!) I stumbled upon this Brazilian-inspired dessert shop and I'm so glad I did! The desserts are absolutely delicious - you can tell they use high-quality ingredients and authentic recipes. Everything I tried (thanks to their generous samples!) was bursting with flavor. The staff here are truly outstanding. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful in explaining all the different treats. They offered samples of various items, which made it so much easier to choose (and want to try everything!). Their enthusiasm for their desserts is contagious. The shop itself has a charming and inviting atmosphere, making it a lovely place to stop in for a sweet treat. The value is fantastic. The quality of the desserts, combined with the generous samples and excellent service, makes it well worth the price. I left feeling happy and satisfied. This is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and delicious dessert experience! read more

A five star product and service in any way you want to think about it! Think the best chocolate treat ever! There are thousands of fancy chocolates out there with all kinds of claims about being the best. This is the best. Created by a caring chef who has a real concern for getting the product just like she had as a child; but better. You can buy them fresh if you live in the San Francisco area; and they ship. I happen to have had them in both ways, and they ship very well. You can't eat love, you say; I think you can. It's called brigaderios made by Tinyb!! read more

TinyB Chocolate in San Mateo is an absolute gem, easily a five-star experience. We tried the chocolate brigadeiros, and they were incredible. You can immediately tell they're handmade with care, and they taste truly authentic. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced in sweetness, each one felt like a little bite of tradition. It's rare to find something that feels so genuine and well-executed. The shop itself is also very cute,cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. Overall, a fantastic spot for high-quality, traditional sweets. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Chocolate Fest

**October 2025: Saturday Night Visit**…read more My friend and I were in Belmont and saw a big sign that said "Chocolate Festival on October 18th" - I thought to myself "that's TODAY!!!" Thankfully we did not have evening commitments so we decided to purchase tickets to attend. General Admission was $33.85 on Eventbite, but you can also purchase tickets at the event itself to save on the technology/convenience fees. We selected the 5pm-8pm slot and arrived around 6pm. I think because we came a little later we were able to find a parking spot right in front of the church. The festival is located in two rooms and I'd say there were 15 vendors in one room and 5 in the other. Each booth had a sample of their chocolates and many of the had full size versions of them for sale. The starting price was $12 for many of the bars. There was also a raffle going on throughout the evening for various prizes as well as live music and a patio area for conversations. I really enjoyed talking to the chocolatiers and also sampling so many different artisan creations, but I went back to the chocolate ice cream booth multiple times lol. There was also a silent auction in the room with the 5 vendors. My friend and I spent maybe an hour or so at the event. I think for the $30 to benefit the San Mateo County Health Foundation and 100+ year old church are worthy causes so I didn't mind the donation. If you're a chocolate lover this is a fun way to try a bunch of bay area artists all under one roof!

I've seen this vending machine several times and never thought anything of it. This night I decided to treat the ladies in my party each a box of macarons. I made my selections of three boxes, paid my $48.00, yes $48.00 and the anticipation began. The machine began to obtain the first selection and deliver it to the delivery door. The machine began to obtain the second selection and deliver it to the delivery door. We waited for the third selection to be prepared and all of a sudden the machine displayed a message saying "Machine Malfunction Please Contact Customer Service"! It did not deliver the third, paid for, box. Here's the kicker...you can only contact them through Instagram and, we'll, I'm 57 years old and don't have Instagram. I thought maybe in this day and age of technology the machine would realize the error and credit my account with the funds for the undeliverable third selection. Nope. I looked all over the internet and tried to instant message them on Facebook and my messages weren't even acknowledged. So, yes, I'm very upset with this company and will tell anyone who listens not to trust this machine. Sad thing is my friends said the macarons were really good. EDIT ~ In the interest of fair business my bank account does reflect the credit of $16.00 and only debited my account for $32.00. Fair play.

So, I searched for an actual shop with macarons but learned it's just a vending machine. Was a…read morelittle bummed out about it at first.

I chose macarons (of course) and he chose mini cupcakes. I'd been Instagram stalking Macarons A Go-Go for years, so our wedding was the perfect opportunity to finally order from them. And why just go with boring (but still great) round ones, but go with character ones instead? I'm a huge Studio Ghibli and tokidoki fan, so I requested Totoro and the tkdk honey bear, as well as a regular round one in salted caramel, lemon, and mango guava. They were super responsive and really patient when I couldn't make up my mind about flavors, characters, etc. They also delivered the macarons to our venue and set them in a display stand. They looked (and tasted) amazing! I am already looking forward to our next event so I could order more!!!

Hmmm what to say about Macaron a Go-Go (MAGG)? Well I'll be honest and I have an affiliation with…read morethe owner. I'm willing to admit this because well you want my honest opinion and you'll get it. But know this I'm no slouch when it comes to reviews even if I know you. As a matter of fact I'm giving MAGG their first 4-star rating (all are 5 at the time of this writing) You'll understand shortly. First off the creator behind MAGG, Van, is a connoisseur (bordering obsessed) of many things exotically sweet. If she decides to tackle things its with zest (like her Myer Lemon Macs) and reckless abandon (to my waste lines) but leaves you wanting more. Fortunately she did this with Macarons and now presenting it us so we are lucky for it. She's also a sweetheart to-boot. OK enough about that...now about these fancy cookies... At first the MAGG creations were so-so but after trial and error and hundreds of tastings later, I'm extremely satisfied to say that they are just a delight to enjoy. Every flavor I have tried has been on point. Myer Lemon, Spiced Pumpkin, Fleur Del Sel Caramel and Black Sesame were some of the standouts. The flavors stay true to their name and why wouldn't it be when it's fresh natural ingredients. She says she doesn't use food coloring and I'm just bewildered because they are not only a delight to eat but also look at with their vibrance and beauty (never thought I'd use those words to describe a cookie.) Texture wise the shell is crispy to a snap on initial bite moving inward to a chewy center and then finally the amazing flavored inner cream. I swear if I could "oreo" these cookies and lick out the cream I would but the eating them as a whole is what experience a macaron is about and MAGG does that well. Before I didn't even take notice of a macaron simply because they never really made an impression. Now that I have been re-introduced to them I have sought out and compared many others to MAGG and well they definitely hold their own if not blow out most Bay Area bakeries through the flavors. Now for the reason for the 4 stars, these damn things are on a rarity. You want to collect them as much as you want to eat them. Right now MAGG is only available through special order or in Burlingame Farmer's Market. I just wished there was more places to get them at or one place that had them available all the time since I'm not spoiled with tastings at gatherings anymore. If you are into Macarons then you will definitely need to check out Macarons A Go-Go. As a fringe benefit you'll also be supporting a local small business and great person. Highly recommended (when you can find them)!
