Possibly the best chocolate bar store in the world. Amazing variety of choices - you could spend years trying the different makers and various countries of origin, and they’re always bring in something new. Literally something for anyone’s taste. We’re lucky to have this shop in SF.
How could I not have heard about this place before? And even more astounding, how has this escaped discovery by my wife, an avowed chocoholic? Shed probably still be in there, if I hadnt told her it was time to go (I did have to buy her $40 worth of chocolate to sweeten the deal, even tho it was my birthday). If you want to browse and buy chocolate from sources all around the world, and have a great conversation with the owner about all things chocolate, (and cyanotypes, and The Bronx, etc.), this is the place.
What an amazing place!This is not for the faint of the wallet, though.It is tiny but beautiful and it has nothing but the worlds best chocolates. Prices range from 10 to 20 dollars a bar, which is quite a high bar (no pun intended), but if you know your chocolates, this place will how you away.I was also surprised how captivating the owners stories were once I started talking to him. So ask him a question and enjoy the chat!
The staff is extremely kind and helpful. They constantly refill, ensuring that the things you receive are always fresh.
Biggest chocolate variation from many countries I have ever seen and very delicious
Amazing selection and the owner Jack is the best - hes a librarian of chocolate. I go every other week to stock up on my favorites and try something new. Highly recommend as theres something for everyone
Super knowledgeable staff with a wide variety of unique chocolates. I am always surprised by the variety and fun options! Great little place to wander.
I Bought all kinds of Mexican candy in bulk for a great price. They have the best/lowest prices around. Its a one stop shop pretty much. They sell decorations too. I Highly recommend this place. I also like that they have their own parking lot.
Its a great place to get a gift or a treat yo self moment. I love how NOT snobby it is! I prefer milk chocolate, which some places look down on, but the gentleman who runs it is always so nice about showing me where to find something that meets my unrefined taste. Ive gone in several times to find chocolates from certain places and he always is happy to help
Must visit for chocolate lovers of all kinds. This place will make you discover something new for sure.
The man who runs this place is so sweet, its no wonder he sells chocolate! Good prices and excellent service and experience, PLEASE go here for all your chocolate needs!
Very unique, very friendly, informed, and passionate owner/artist. Perfect place to get a unique gift or souvenir. Lots of dairy-free chocolate.
A very helpful person runs this place which has hundreds of high quality chocolates and chocolate bars and some cocoa. They dont sell much that isnt chocolate except for some cards and boxes to put chocolates in. This is a great place if you love chocolate or know someone who does, but its also a great place to get gifts for people you dont know well, like your new lovers parents or the nurse who took care of you when you were in hospital.
Love this store. Dark Chocolate w/Ghost Pepper? Friendly & helpful. Also purchased Amaretto flavored chocolate sauce ❣️
One of the best chocolate stores in the world. If you feel overwhelmed, Jack can point you in the right direction. Honestly, you cant go wrong in the first place. While the store specializes in single origin bars, they have some truffels, and bulk chocolate as well.
You have got to go to Chocolate Covered, best and most refine place in San Francisco for truffles and sweet. I love chocolates, I never was a fan of truffles until I visited this place. Dark chocolate or milk chocolate both are my fav now. Definitely worth paying for, will come back for more for sure.
This is a hidden gem. Get here! I love 100% cocoa and they have over 12 types. I buy gifts here also. Amazing.
This is the best chocolate store Ive ever been to. It has amazing chocolate from responsible and ethical sources.
A bookstore of chocolate with a great curator who advises with generous samples. I spent a fortune on fabulous chocolates.
Its the must see place for every local and tourist. Better buy these unique chocolate bars as a gift from San Francisco, than the all those low-quality junk from tourist gift shops.
Incredible selection of chocolate, especially bars, spanning the globe. The candy boxes of SF street names and landmarks are excellent gifts. Theyre labor intensive and memorable.
Best reseller of chocolate in the world. jack is the owner and can tell you everything about any of the hundreds of bars he carries. He also custom makes tins. Great store.
I found this place because I was trying to track down where I could buy a specific chocolate bar. To my dismay, I arrived and was told they dont carry the chocolate I was looking for anymore. However, for such a small store they have such an incredible variety of chocolate. I didnt think Id have a lot of luck finding vegan chocolate (because even dark chocolate can contain milk fat), but I spent a pretty penny on so many different flavors, % cacao, and chocolates from different countries. All of them vegan! It can be a little pricey since its all specialty chocolate, but you can sample anything youre interested in so you spend your money wisely.
Best chocolate store youll ever visit. If you like chocolate at all its a must visit.
Amazing collection of chocolate bars from all over the world. Owner even lets you sample select choices he has chosen. Slightly expensive but well worth it because of the great selection and taste.
This is my to go place for candies. This place is candyland heaven because they have all sorts of candies along with party supplies. I only went there today to specifically get 1 kind of candy and I found them here so much cheaper. I do my bargain hunting almost every time. When you need candies, this is the place to go.
This is a must go kind of place! The chocolate is amazing and the chocolate tins will blow your mind! They are beautiful and can be personalized.
Best chocolate store in SF. Great selection of small batch producers.
Something for everyone -- bean-to-bar, novelty bars, weve even found gluten-free vegan bars here. Plus locally made truffles and chocolate candies. Hes very knowledgeable about his stock, just ask if youre looking for something. This place is also famous for his cyanotype gift tins, made from photos of local street signs and murals.
Chocolate Covered has been around forever...and there is a very good reason..Hands down, the owner, Jack, is a mastermind at pairing, tasting, selecting the best chocolates from around the world. He knows his stuff and you could spend hours browsing his selections in his tiny, compact store in Noe Valley. He even carries Philip Marks Chocolates! Wow! What a treat!
Best selection of chocolate in the world!!
Amazing chocolates and incredibly knowledgeable and friendly service. A neighborhood treasure.
A small but very cool local shop featuring artwork tins and chocolates. Each tin features a photograph of a San Francisco street or landmark sign, among other designs. The photos are printed on Japanese Washi paper using the Cyanotype processing method. Stop in, say hello to friendly owner Jack Epstein and pick-up a great gift.
The guy who runs it is very passionate about what he does and loves to talk about his work. Its quite expensive (~$20 for one of the larger tins, plus ~$20 for some of the larger chocolate bars), but it makes sense considering its all premium chocolate and handmade specialty tins. No Hersheys or Snickers to be found here.
Best chocolate store in SF. Selection is endless, staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Get your chocolate fix satisfied!!
Cutest little place, and the perfect place to grab a little gift. Chocolate bars from all over the world, and tins that make the perfect local gift.The owner makes cyanotypes and then covers tins with them. He also does beautiful paper covered boxes, and custom orders.We love our new box, perfect to hold remote controls and covered with our street name!!!
Phenomenal service. The whole place is a labor of love, passionate knowledge, and shocking variety of sourcing. I lost count of the options for 100% bars alone.
They’ve got everything! very unique chocolate bars that are hard to find elsewhere!
Stop by this place If youre traveling and need a break and you get some sweets and fun
I went in to get a gift for my wife and spent 30 minutes talking with the owner about chocolate! Could almost be a chocolate museum. An incredible selection from every corner of the globe, but if youre looking for a local souvenir he can advise too. Pricey though.
All kinds of chocolate from around the world. The friendly owner is also famous for making special cyano-type looking tins based on photographs or designs. If you are looking for a special gift, get one of those made.
I love this place. The owner is super knowledgable and they have an exhaustive selection of chocolate. Good thing its right across the street from my dentist!
Fantastic selection, this place is a gem. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about his craft and very sincere. Cannot recommend Chocolate Covered enough.
Probably The best ever to find and Spirit of Sweet all around and sugar in The Air feels like Taste Mixed with Magic cacao Hybrids
You will get lost in lots of examples of high quality chocolate choices.
Ridiculous wide collection of chocolates (mostly bars) from all over the world. Owner is quite a character. Many bars have samples that you can try out. Pricey but good for gift giving or occasional splurge.
Super helpful if you have a need for specialty or unusual chocolates. Blue cheese? Mushroom? (Chilli and pistachio is the best.)
Absolutely adorable shop with artisan chocolate from all around the country. If you love chocolate, then you should definitely visit this place!
The largest range Ive ever seen of chocolate from all over the world! Including local SF made chocolate. A great place to buy gifts for chocolate lovers... or yourself.
Fantastic spot for almost 1,000 types of chocolate bars, and this almost hidden jem has been in the neighborhood forever. The owner and workers have a deep knowledge of chocolate, and are happy to help you. Great for stocking stuffers, Valentines gifts, gift boxes, truffles, etc.
Delicious products and great variety. Service was also incredible. And very vegan-friendly
I have never seen so much chocolate in one place. Love coming here!
Jack talks easily, is friendly, and happy to share all of his knowledge, or to just leave you to eat your eyes out by yourself. Such a sweet place.
Excellent selection of chocolates (and fudge!) with a friendly, incredibly knowledgeable staff and good prices.
I spent so much time here! Theres so many chocolates to choose from!!
Amazing. The person who runs it is super passionate about his work and will do anything to make your experience great
Its always a treat to get a chance to visit. As usual there were a bunch of new, amazing chocolate options to choose from.
Wonderful. Be careful or you will lose hours browsing all the exotic bars of chocolate.
Fantastic selection of the best chocolate available from around the world.
My favorite chocolate shop in the city. This place has a large variety and personalized customer service.
Unique, delicious and Jack(the owner) is very inviting with his never-ending chocolate samples! A Noe Valley treasure, indeed.
Amazing selection of delicious chocolates from around the world that keeps growing!
An amazing variety of wonderful chocolates.
Eclectic collection of chocolates from around the world.
This is the only one -- only chocolate shop to do what it does. His jusgment in what to carry is excellent, and the boxes -- well, youve never seen anything like it. Vaut le voyage, as Monsieur Michelin likes to say.
An absolutely wonderful store - a wealth of hard-to-find and fabulous chocolates. I particularly like the so-called bean-to-bar manufacturers.
My go-to chocolate shop in SF when I am low on my drug of choice and need a fix (chocolate of course!). The selections of chocolates is vast and Jack is constantly ordering new kinds and rearranging the shelves to fit it all in. For years, I walked by here and had no idea it was a chocolate shop. Always looked at the window display which only had the cyanotype boxes and never up at the sign until YEARS later. Id been missing out! The chocolates may seem pricey to some, but with high quality chocolate such as the bean-to-bar types that he carries, there are no fillers and you just need a little taste to melt on your tongue to get the depth and richness of flavors. Not like waxy Hersheys or even Ghiradelli chocolates with lots of filler and less actual cocoa. These chocolates will leave you satisfied and definitely wanting more.
I’ve been coming here for a long time. It’s quite dangerous as everytime I go I find new bars/brands I’ve never heard of and spend too much money! They stock hard to find chocolate from all over the globe. I can’t recommend dropping by here enough if you are looking for single origin bars.
Jack is unreasonably knowledgeable about everything in the store. I like to go here for local chocolate bars that I can gift to friends and relatives. Hes got it all.
The most extensive selection of 100% and other high percentage cacao chocolate bars in San Francisco. There are 15+ options for 100% and dozens more for 80%+.
Best chocolate shoppe in SF
Fantastic and friendly service, no snobbery! Great selection of chocolate
