San Francisco's Dandelion Chocolate is a MUST if you love chocolate . They also offer workshops where you can learn all there is to know about chocolate and even try your hand at making your own! Read more

Eater

Dandelion's house hot chocolate is the perfect classic version of American hot chocolate you drank as a kid, only its way better! It's sweet and creamy and comes with a little cookie on the side. Read more

Marisa Lown

Looking for a coffee alternative? Try the Nibby Horchata ! A house made concoction of cocoa nibs, rice , almonds , hazelnuts , and cinnamon . Pair with a chocolate canelé !

Rodrиго Ривера

Tasty chocolate drinks made with locally produced chocolate . Good spot to hang out and work or read. Friendly service . Rather pricey . Recommended.

Anika

Shared my first ever s'more here: a gently charred, squidgy marshmallow resting atop a chunk of smooth, dark chocolate on a ginger-laced cookie . This with a thick, silken, spiced hot chocolate . Swoon.

Niharika Kohli

European style drinking chocolate definitely lived up to my expectations! Tiramisu was pretty good too, though unusual.

Rose Puntillo

The chocolate bars and chocolate drinks and I can't wait to come back and eat the amazing food I saw people enjoying

Nelson

The best item on the menu is the chocolate bars . The drinking chocolate is a close second. You can ask for the drinking chocolate with water if you are lactose intolerant or vegan !

Chuck Roslof

Shop for a great local chocolate company; you can try samples of their various bars , and get baked goods and drinks made with their chocolate .

Noah Weiss

The Mission Mecca of chocolate . Free samples abound. Frozen hot chocolate was somehow refreshing.

Hanan Mal

The marshmallows are amazing. Try their Ecuador Cold brew is great if you like your coffee on the bitter chocolaty side. Passion fruité macaron is an interesting flavor.

Vivek Venkatram

Like an artisanal Willy Wonka's, this phenomenal chocolatier and cafe 's production of chocolate winds up in brownie flights, hot or cold drinkables and delectable pastries .

Sarah Ball

You can sit here and work on your laptop and watch people making chocolate when you need a distraction. What’s not to love?

Kevin Smokler

Word of warning: the nib toffee while delicious is about 3 times bigger than it seems. Order it to go, nibble and take the rest home. You've got at least 2.5 desserts in there.

Ashok Lalwani

Love their chocolate . Simple and delicious. You can watch chocolate making process live while sipping on some mouth watering hot or cold chocolate drinks. Try their very unique Cacao Fruit Smoothie .

Alex Reyes

Wish I could take a picture of the smells, great place to just sit and watch the work. The whole roasted beans are great, the spicy hot chocolate is pretty good, though actually spicy hot.

Eduardo Mekitarian

A rich and delicious hot frozen chocolate with a superb service. Servers are extremely polite and helpful. Dark chocolate bars to die for!! Such a wonderful place!

Aprile Elcich

Nice place to hang out, good chocolate , but all of their drinks are sickly sweet — wish they served something you could drink with the chocolate ... like tea .

Serious Eats

Dandelion makes all their chocolate bars , from bean to bar , in the store. Try the single origin bars or indulge in a mug of excellent hot chocolate .

ᴡ Elliot

You'll want to eat everything. If only having one, go for the classic cookie . But you're best going in a large group so that you can sample lots.

Spoon Carvalho

If you love chocolate and a cute ambience then this place is for you. It also doubles as the perfect little first, second, I’m going to love you forever, dessert/coffee date place .

Sasha Kovaliov

If you are a desperate European looking for a great espresso or americano in San Francisco, this is the place! Plus, great bitter chocolate from around the world and free cookies ;)

Pavan Kulkarni

Delicious chocolate items here. Loved the European hot chocolate with marshmallows .

Rozina Szőgyényi

If you like spicy food then the Mission Hot Chocolate is a must! Sit down behind the bar and enjoy the view on the chocolate factory .

Josh Pyles

A hidden coffee gem. Great macchiatos and cappuccinos , and an awesome place to chill and work. Every coffee comes with a little shortbread cookie treat!

Lauren Mac

Loved our tour ! Dandelion is a special place with special chocolate . Don't miss the brownie tasting platter.

Bommy

Taste a few chocolate samples. Frozen hot chocolate is rich and creamy. Nibby horchata is cinnamony and super decadent. Brownie bite flight is fun to try.

Chris H.

A must go to stop in the Mission. Expensive chocolate but well worth the quality and uniqueness. Be sure and check out the gift boxes.

Bkwm J

Came for Feve almonds (they're SO GOOD), but it's sold out! Bummer! I guess I need to go online or to the shop to get them... ???????????????????????? http://www.fevechocolates.com/index2.html

Andres Novoa

If you're into the chocolate making process check out their nifty guide they keep at the bar ! Also, look into their chocolate classes !

Net toffee “salted chocolate “ ❤️

George Hayes

The European Drinking chocolate is an impressive dessert .

Doc Pop

Their pastry case features a different chef every week. Some great treats can be found (like this jar of tiny choc chip cookies ).

BuzzFeed

Try the Papua New Guinea S’more, which stars homemade graham crackers , marshmallow and cocoa nibs from the titular country , blowtorched to sweet perfection. Read more

Arlynne Cakes

Great products and great staff . A bit pricey , but the quality and menu is great. Their iced mocha and iced coffee are delightful.

Cindy Li

Everything. Try the tasting menu . The nibs toffee is great too. It's addictive.

Gary Manalus

Had fun sampling the chocolates . Tried the cacao fruit smoothie and it was interesting... Not a bad flavor but definitely unusual... Made from the fruit of the cacao tree

Lori Lee

The tiramisu is damn heavenly, I can't even. The smore was a close second, I liked the burnt flavor of the marshmallow .

Izabella

One of the best hot chocolate I ever had, the also have real cocoa beans in the store.

Richard Nguyen

The Black Forest Jar from this week's popup, Native Baking Company, is outstanding. Pair it with a Marocchino and you have heavenly delight.

Amanda Aizuss

Come after dinner for dessert ! Chocolate malt sandwich is good if you want something like a chocolate chip cookie .

Michelle D.

Keep it simple. The classic hot chocolate is extremely tasty.

Ro J

The mission hot chocolate is exquisite! Do their chocolate tour and get their Madagascar bar . Every bit worth the prices they charge.

Tom Maxwell

The European drinking chocolate is to die for -- it's so rich I almost couldn't finish the small portion.

Fatima

This place is amazing!! Try the European drinking chocolate + cake !

Ryan Landry

Do you like chocolate and Four Barrel coffee or mocha ? If so, come here and experience both. Perfect combo!

Geoffrey Blair Astudillo

Their chocolate torte is so rich and light and is only $4. They also sell Four Barrel Coffee . Dessert and coffee , what more can you ask for?

Shagun Aulakh

I was hesitant about another fancy shmancey place in the neighborhood , but the Mexican hot chocolate is bomb...and the cherry on top is homemade marshmallows !

Elie Bleier

Don't miss the free sample nibs while waiting in line . Pay attention to the tasting directions!
