A visit to Dandelion will likely ruin most other chocolate for you. They have chocolate on offer that presents more like a coffeehouse than a traditional chocolatier, with tasting notes, single origin offerings and blends, and some extra special packages that will transport you - if you can afford them. It's also a great place to stop for a decadent brunch, if you feel like some chocolate wouldn't be remiss in your oats - or whatever you order.

Just a dream place for anyone who loves chocolate. Not only they roast in house, but you can sample as many as a dozen different dark chocolates. Trying one of the delicious pastries or their top espresso is a good option too!

I first visited the location in the Ferry building and thought to myself: "eh, not bad." But after visiting this location OMG. I am in heaven. The variety of pastries made with chocolate. The variety of DRINKS made with chocolate. A chocolate-lovers dream. My favorite drink is the European chocolate. I'm just unable to find this anywhereeeeeee. Google do your magic. Use my keywords: European chocolate. Thick, gooey hot chocolate. Recommend this spot to my fellow people. The cacao pod smoothie is super unique (doesn't taste good tho lolz). U can skip it.

Really delicious chocolate snacks, desserts and drinks. The s’more was especially surprising, with contrasting bitter, salty and creamy notes. I loved the chocolate milk (made with oat milk) and the frozen hot chocolate was tasty. Everything was not too sweet.

Dandelion Chocolate is beautifully designed and feels inviting the moment you walk in. The desserts are artfully displayed, and the variety of chocolate flavors is impressive. A thoughtful space that makes you want to slow down and savor.

This is the best hot chocolate in SF, by far! I recommend the European Hot Chocolate, thick and packed with flavor. Some tables inside, there's a counter and some outside (on Valencia) sits. Do give their dark chocolate tasting a try, you might find something that strikes your fancy! Also one of the very few cafes that stay open until relatively late.

My coworkers bought me the single origin dark chocolate truffles for my birthday. Instead of hoarding them for myself we decided to do a taste test in the office. everyone had different preferences but our favorite overall was the Maya Mountain, Belize. I had everyone taste the chocolates and guess the tasting notes before reading any of the descriptions and it was kind of surprising how accurate some of the guesses were! We had a great time and the chocolates were very high quality and delicious. Looking forward to buying some bars for future snacking.

Ordered a Frozen Hot Chocolate. This was a delicious take on hot chocolate, great for the summer weather and for those who enjoy iced coffee in winter! It’s a thick and sweet chocolate drink, the whipped cream topping is a very nice touch, made with cocoa nib. The line can get long but there is a shelf of samples to try their specialty chocolates by the side to get a taste of what else they offer. The place is generally busy with a decent amount of tables for some groups. The service was very fast and courteous. There is water and marshmallows on the side if you’d like. Great inviting place to get a treat for yourself or with a group.

It’s probably too dramatic to say this is the best sweet shop I’ve ever been in, yet I’m saying it! This is not simply a place to eat some chocolate, but an experience. As I visited San Francisco this is still one of my favorite places I found. You have opportunities to try so many chocolates from around the world, as pictured. I wish I could have tried half of the menu and their drinks, but just we got the cute sampler and it was just amazing. Every chocolate got better as we ate. The atmosphere is so cute and VERY thought out, which I really respect and appreciate. You can tell so much love was put into this place. The service was also great with the sweetest girls working, managing my excitement! You can’t be in San Francisco and skip this spot while in the Mission District!!

Best hot chocolate ever. And best frozen hot chocolate (tasty oxymoron) I've ever had. Well actually it's the only frozen hot chocolate I've ever had. But it won't be the last. Delightful little shop. That is basically an outlet of a larger chocolate factory in town. It it offers a wide range of chocolate goodies. I bought a couple of bars from Costa Rica and Uganda and was actually surprised that Ugandan and chocolate was pretty good. My Ugandan son-in-law was equally shocked. This is a cute place to go out for an after dinner date or conversation with "that special someone". They have a couple of different options for seating inside and outside. Inside they also offer tastes of a few of their selections. If you go to the counter they have a taste of pastry like options. I didn't try those but that's also where you get the hot or frozen hot chocolate. It was rich and delicious. We got one of each and debated which one was better. Good news is you're covered winter or summer. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Big smiles and lots of suggestions and explanations. Some of the seating is family style so you might end up making new friends. Interesting little destination in the mission district. Highly recommended.

Very delicious hot chocolates and decadent desserts. We tried the european style and the house special. The European style is just melted chocolate and it is super decadent, the latter is more my style. Smooth drinking and lighter. Desserts were nice. In the future I would not do hot chocolate and dessert together. I’d do either one at a time because it was just too much! 😅 Lovely spot though. They have a retail line also. I would definitely recommend.

Very interesting tour showing how chocolate is made. Also the chocolate drinks on sale are fabulous! Must make reservations for the tour.

This chocolate bar is serious about where they source their chocolate. The chocolate vegan carrot cake was divine. The European chocolate drink with homemade marshmallows was rich and velvety. The gi…

Decent chocolate spot. There’s a line at night that usually goes pretty quickly. Worth stopping by

The chocolate and crafty assortments made memorable impressions years ago as souvenirs. They are outstanding gifts to bring back home. The chocolate based drinks are hearty and have a deep, aromatic flavor. Keep in mind though, the price matches the brand name.
