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 visited Läderach Chocolate in Westfield Valley Fair Santa Clara last Sunday and had a great time…read more This is easily some of the best-quality Swiss chocolate I've found in the Bay Area. 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!

The service provided by Gianna and Genevieve was professional and well put together. The flavors and the selection we put together was great. The Black Sesame Brittle was a hit, and my wife loved the Sweet Corn flavor. Flavors rotate throughout the year, so we'll be back at their store in a few months to see what's new. Overall, fun flavors, good service at the store, and professional service throughout our wedding planning experience.

We liked all of them but the burnt sesame was AMAZING!!! The large chunks of sesame bark was an explosion of flavor. Love it and we would definitely come back again.

Looks is one thing, but the delish taste is what keeps us coming back. The crust has some crisp, but it is not overly hard and the custard is the perfect balance of sweet and flavorful.

Whether you're here for a sweet pickmeup for yourself or grabbing a beautifully packaged collection of individually wrapped treats as a gift, this location has got you covered! The staff keeps this store fully stocked and organized, making gift selection a breeze. As you walk into the shop, you'll be surrounded by walls of pre-packaged bags full of varying flavors of chocolates and in the center, piles of these personal sized bars for you to pick and choose from to create your own bag. It's been a while since I've set foot in one of the Ghirardelli storefronts and they've introduced some new flavors. Fortunately, they still offer a free sample (per person) so if there's a flavor you're interested in, ask to give it a try! On this visit, we were especially interested in their series of dark chocolates. To our pleasant surprise, they had all their signature darks all in one gift bag which included a 60% sea salt, 72% dark, 86% dark, and a 92% dark. In addition, they had a special discount for the gift bags which made it that much more enticing to purchase! Otherwise, the retail price can be a bit high and they also charge extra for additional paper bags. Overall, Ghirardelli is my personal favorite, and being a local establishment, it'll always be a top choice for residents and visitors. This location is no exception to that and the staff here do a great job representing the brand. Its location as an outlet makes the prices extremely competitive. Their gift bags are presented with vibrant colors, perfect for any occasion. As an adult coming into this candy shop, I am always ready to get chocolate wasted!

They have a cute entrance with a couple outdoor tables and gentle music playing. Inside, I was greeted by one of the owners. When I told her I wasn't sure what I was looking for and wanted to browse, she said she was going to step away so she didn't crowd me. I really, really appreciated that. 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. The dark chocolate is a little bit sweet with no bitterness. Looking forward to trying the pistachio truffle.

This past Thanksgiving I went to SJ Made's Holiday Fair and saw Charlotte Truffles here. They had a…read morebooth and were offering samples that I couldn't refuse. I ended up caving in. A pricey little box, but for this quality, it's to be expected. I sampled Vietnamese coffee and raspberry yuzu. I much preferred the tartness of the raspberry yuzu. The Vietnamese coffee was more on the dense and darker side which I wasn't really feeling. I ended up getting a custom 6-piece box: raspberry yuzu (x2), rose water saffron (x2), and sesame praline (x2). The raspberry yuzu was extra yummy with the chocolate this time. The bitterness and tartness went well together. The sesame praline was interesting. The filling had a more crispy and gritty texture as a result from what appears to be sugar crystals. The sesame was nicely incorporated so that it wasn't overpowering. I really liked it. The rose water saffron was interesting. It definitely had floral and earthy notes. This is among their most popular flavors, but it just wasn't for me unfortunately. It slightly crossed the floral soap threshold for my taste buds. No matter, I know I will be back for the raspberry yuzu and sesame praline someday, and I hope to try other unique flavors they have as well.

My husband was so happy when he saw it, and it made the celebration even more special for us. I also want to give a special thanks to the manager at the San Jose location. When I mentioned that we would be traveling in the car for about 7 hours, they were so kind and helpful in giving us options to make sure the cake would stay perfect during the trip. Their suggestion worked so well! Overall, I am beyond satisfied with both the cake and the wonderful customer service. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our celebration extra special.
