Iris Delights Artisanal Chocolates - San Diego, California

I am so impressed! This cute little shop in Tierrasanta is a hidden gem. The chocolate selection is ever-changing, and artfully hand-made individually by Iris herself. She is such an artist so not only are they beautifully presented, the flavors are all outstanding! Check them out for gifts as well! Perfect for Mother's Day, bridal showers, birthdays or your own enjoyment! I love the pink! 🙂 I will be back.

Really high quality, beautiful chocolates. These make absolutely wonderful gifts, and even come with a QR code with a flavor guide. These staff is very friendly and helpful, and gives samples!

Dark chocolate is the base for most of their items, with traditional and exotic options. The fig and port is a personal favorite. This is a wonderful chocolatier and very much worth a visit.

These are the most beautiful chocolate bonbons you have ever seen, and they're delicious, too. The shop is welcoming, inclusive, and friendly. The selection rotates so there's always something new to try.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Iris is a magician with her chocolates. I buy these for parties, presents, board meetings, you name it. Always have a few on hand to impress my guests too.

Her shop is gorgeous, clean and happy. Her employees like Colton greet me the minute I walk in the door and absolutely make my day! Best customer service ever…..top notch.

The chocolates melt in your mouth and taste exactly as described. I have so many favorites and then she creates a new one that I have to add to the list. Most of all, her chocolates are gorgeous. When I give as a gift my friends are super impressed…..and then they taste them and are over the moon happy. She’s number one in my book!

We love great chocolate. Living near Belgium for a decade taught us to appreciate excellent chocolate.
We saw the review in the newspaper, and tried them out.
Iris welcomed us and gave us a taste of chocolate genache that was balanced and a wonderful texture. We bought a large box to share at Christmas with our family.
Well...
The chocolates are beautiful, with transfer colors and patterns. The chocolate exterior is shiny, flavorful and snaps when you bite into it.
But the inside wins top honors.
We tried the candy cane ones, and they were so wonderful. The interior was beautifully creamy and minty at just the right level.
The Mexican Chocolate was spicy and just the right level of cinnamon.
The marzipan was creamy and spoke of almond. The fruit flavors were bold and fresh.
There were a variety of interiors that were not ganache, including peanut butter and brownie, that had a lovely texture with crunch, and wonderful flavor.

I was blown away at the detail in the chocolates… almost felt bad taking a bite, almost!
The taste was just as amazing as the looks.
All around wonderful experience.

Words do not do justice to these chocolates. Iris Delights are the best chocolates i have ever eaten, and I've eaten a lot of chocolates over the years.

I had heard good things about this new store on Nextdoor. I had to stop in and get me some of their Almond Bark. It was the best, and very reasonable priced. The store was beautiful and A+ rated by the San Diego Health Department. And look at the display cases, so packed with all those chocolate goodies. When I walked in the smell of all that chocolate was absolutely amazing. I tried to get pictures of the stores hours and the things they have for sale. I was very happy I had made the stop and got some of those delightful chocolate goodies. Go to Iris Delights; I would put it on the top of the list of things to do today if I were you! And thank you for making your magic here for us chocolate lovers, it was the best. I must admit.
