cost is Dagoba chocolate. I’ve found their bars in a few specialty shops (my sources are Noah’s Natural Foods at Yonge and Charles, and The Mercantile at College and Shaw) The lavender and blueberry bar is to die for,...

. Not outrageously pricey, but quite a tariff nevertheless. I think it’s fine considering the location and the well tweaked sandwich. The hazelnut rum chocolate cake was poor, a small thin slice for $2 or 3 iirc; its crumb...

dessert (Mexican chocolate pot au creme=good but not great; I thought it might have a little spice to it which would have kicked it up a few notches.) came to $107. And man, the drinks were strong! Try this place; we enjoyed it...

and Charles Chocolates; also possibly XOX in SF. I’m thinking it could be a combination of chocolate makers and chocolate shops (e.g., Bittersweet). SF and East Bay only. As of now, I’m not sure if I’m going to...

Scharffenberger makes a semisweet bar that might be a good compromise. Keep in mind that they (along with Joseph Schmidt and Oregon’s Dagoba) are now owned by Hershey. Emeryville’s Charles' Chocolates has some...

Charles Chocolates is unveiling their cafe and factory tours next month. You can also arrange for a private tasting & tour. They are a fun, modern concept with very tasty products. I esp. adore the chocolate w. caramelized rice...

with that chocolat shop because on my visits they were too pricy and the chocolates were not local. I would second XOX. Bittersweet has a few truffles from Charles Chocolate, however the real winners there are the truffles that...

the Charles tea chocolates as well as the caramels, and a few others, especially the mint truffles and mojito hearts. There’s a new poire william chocolate there, too (brand new) which was great. What I’ve had from...

I like Beacon Hill Chocolates on Charles St; La Tene, which I used to be able to find at Formaggio, but no more; and Serene. Taza’s texture bothers me, but the chocolate is good quality.

I had some from Charles Chocolates last week. They were the best chocolatecovered espresso beans I’ve had-the chocolate was not too sweet and the bean was still oily. You might be able to get a discount if you order...

chocolate. Tried their cappuccino. Skip it. The hot chocolate with 65 percent cocoa is much better. Naia gelato is sold in the shop The chocolate. Not sure who to compare them to. Maybe a little like Charles Chocolates. This...

disappointed in what I got. A couple months ago I got some Charle's Chocolates. I did enjoy them, but some of the flavors were nothing special (the peanut butter butterflies especially) and I wouldn’t pay full price for...

Chowfun, If you think about it, when you to the SF shop, can you see if they carry the bon bons? In Oakland they carry Charles chocolates. Garrison from Rhode Island and thier own house made truffles (the dark chocolate with the...
