Dandelion Chocolate - San Francisco, CA

Amber Grandprey-Shores

There's nothing more satisfying than a rich, decadent chocolate of any variety from Dandelion. The weather in SF was perfect for the frozen mocha and frozen hot chocolate I had over my couple days in the area. The staff are friendly and drinks deliciously made. Plus they have all your Dandelion favorites ready for purchase! If you're looking for a unique chocolate experience and are going to the Ferry Building, please do yourself a favor and stop by for a treat!

We had the European Drinking Chocolate, and boy it's rich! And delicious. Thankfully, it's served in small cups or otherwise a food coma is all but assured. We also got tiny shortbread cookies and marshmallows with our hot chocolate, which was a lovely touch. The chocolate itself is very rich, not too sweet, and quite flavorful, with a slightly acidic taste. It's certainly an experience!

This was our second time going to Dandelion Chocolate, but our first time at this location inside the Ferry Building. The iced mocha here as always was absolutely excellent. You simply cannot go wrong with ordering anything that has chocolate in it at Dandelion.

There’s obviously a lot of foot traffic here and everything is to go since there’s no space for tables or chairs. Luckily there wasn’t much of a line at the store.

I stop in here fairly often when I take the ferry to the city. Most often I buy chocolate nibs to sprinkle on my yogurt and berries for breakfast. More recently I bought a spiced hot chocolate. Beautiful presentation, loved the cookie on the side. Definitely a delicious, rich treat on a cold day.

Situated in the iconic Ferry Building at the Embarcadero, Dandelion Chocolate offers a unique experience. I opted for the Mission Mocha, a visually stunning concoction combining spicy hot chocolate with a double espresso. While the drink was beautiful, the spices were a bit overpowering for my taste I will try the regular mocha on my next visit.

I admit I've never been a huge fan of their chocolate, but I do like their coffee drinks and some of their other stuff. Also, I think they are unionized, which makes me much happier to support them rather than Blue Bottle nearby, which is owned by Nestle.

The mocha is quite nice, better value than Blue Bottle, I just wish they didn't charge extra for plant-based milk. It seems a bit excessive when you're not getting the cookie and marshmallow that they include in non-vegan drinks.

They have a chocolate and hazelnut (nutella-like) spread, which while very expensive, is based on actual hazelnuts rather than palm oil, and is vegan to boot. I highly recommend it.

I also appreciate that they now have a vegan option in their pastry case, a beautifully presented chocolate carrot cake that is quite affordable (it was $6, they recently increased it to $6.50). Unfortunately I feel like the candied fruit inside overpowers the other flavors, so I wish they would continue on their roll and offer an additional vegan option.

This place is a 🍫 experience with your taste buds. We tried the European chocolate drink which was thick...I drank 1/4 inch of the cup and that was that. We preferred the Mission hot chocolate because it was spicy and tasty. It's a fun experience with samples.

A special treat with great presentation. The hot European chocolate tasted amazing! They have a variety of sweet treats you can choose from as well. Make sure to not go too close to closing time because most of the desserts will be sold out.
