Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates

Beautiful chocolates and macarons! They have more on the menu like hot chocolate but I was able to try some macarons from the Too Good To Go app! I love a place that tries to limit food waste!The worker was also incredibly nice and answered all of my questions. I wish I got his name. But the service was amazing and quick. The macaron was flavorful and light. They also have unique flavors like Vietnamese coffee caramel!! I should have tried it but with this quick experience I will definitely come back.

Ginger Elizabeth is inside another building but you can't miss it once you walk in. They have a huge variety of dessert selections. I got a too good to go order and was given these 2 jarred desserts. There were good, both coffee flavor but I wish I knew what they were. I believe 1 is a coffee mousse/pudding and the other might be tiramisu. Both weren't too sweet and had the perfect coffee taste to it (again, assuming it's a coffee dessert).

I absolutely LOVE Ginger Elizabeth! I've been here a few times and every time I received excellent service and everything I ordered was perfection! I had a friend visiting in December and I knew that I had to take her here for some hot chocolate. I got the sipping chocolate and she got the Oaxacan spice. We both loved ours!They offered us samples of their chocolates (very delicious!) and I got their Christmas box as a gift and they loved it as well. If you like chocolate, this is definitely the place to go!

I've written multiple reviews on her original L st store but I didn't realize I never wrote a review for this location. I miss the L st store for nostalgic reasons, but I frequent this store often because I'm a huge fan of just about everything Ginger makes. I recommend going to her ice cream socials as well as jam day. I was gifted her advent calendar this year and it was fabulous. Her hot chocolate is not to be missed either. Some of my favorite items include:-Macarons of course (Salted caramel, Almond vanilla, Peppermint)-Cookies (especially the chocolate chip)-Housemade marshmallows -Pot de creme-Macaron ice cream sandwiches-Frozen hot chocolate Service is always on point even when the line is long. Metered parking is available in front. Ginger Elizabeth is a Sacramento staple.

Located across the hall from Ro Sham Beaux wine bar. I returned to Ginger Elizabeth for their current seasonal flavors and my sweet tooth ran wild. In one sitting (with two friends as witnesses): a cup of frozen peppermint hot chocolate soft serve, one salty caramel cupcake, one gingersnap macaron (LOVE), one peppermint macaron (OK), also a bite of their gingersnap cookie (yum), and finished off with about half of a peppermint hot chocolate drink (vanilla marshmallow, chocolate pearls, hold the whipped cream). Why did I even bother with a box and a bag? The soft serve was not too minty for me, but that's just me. I'm a sucker for salty caramel anything by Ginger, and the chocolate cupcake delivered. The gingersnap macaron was the best, and I somehow missed the other seasonal macaron flavor, apple cobbler. The just-peppermint macaron was just okay. The actual ginger cookie was bigger than my hand, and just-right chewiness with the molasses. The hot peppermint hot chocolate drink was also the perfect seasonal holiday sip! Pretty much had everything but a macaron ice cream sandwich and chocolate bar! This is a nice stop for gifts as well (macarons, chocolate squares/bars, hot cocoa powder tins).

Ready to get chocolate wasted? Well that's what you may be in store for with Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates' case full of scrumptious macarons and chocolate infused menu.This little shop located in a shared space is frequented by many locals and visitors. It is not uncommon to see a line forming out the door for their goodies inside, and parking can be a bit tricky since there is only street parking available. There are usually spots just down the block around the corner but be prepared to put your eagle eyes on for those free parking spaces.Ginger Elizabeth hosts an abundance of sweet treats but by far it seems the patrons go for a mad dash on their freshly made macarons and hot chocolate drinks. They do also have gift boxes of their chocolates, hot chocolate mix, and other treats.Their glass case of macarons is clearly labeled with all of their flavors and if you're just looking for a taste, they do sell them individually (with small individual boxes to carry the precious cargo in). I, personally, am not a huge fan of macarons but I can tell they're carefully crafted to not only taste delicious but look beautiful before they're nibbled up.In addition to their macarons, they have freshly made cookies and cold treats including soft serve and frozen macarons. If we had more time here, we would have definitely given them a try but we will have to bookmark them for another visit!We primarily came for the hot chocolate drinks and they were as good as we expected! That pure chocolate richness coating your tastebuds as you attempt to pinpoint the different attributes and flavors is such an amazing experience, from the first sip to the last. The smallest size is perfect for one to enjoy but not be too indulged as to feel sweetened out; although if you're planning to share, perhaps a size up might be more appropriate. Sipping chocolate - elegance, decadence, richness and boldness all packed into an 8 oz cup is what you need to get if it's your first time here. If you're a hot chocolate fan, prepare to be enlightened.Mocha peppermint - delicious chocolate kicked up a notch with some good old fashioned espresso. Topped with some crunchy chocolate pearls and whip cream, you got yourself a taste of winter!Rose - very fragrant and has a nice sweet aroma and taste. Pairs well with the chocolate but not my personal favorite.Overall, if you're in the mood to get pampered or looking for the right gift from Sac Town for a chocolate lover, Ginger Elizabeth is where you need to go. The hot chocolates will warm your socks off and their desserts will have you coming back for more. The price point is certainly higher than most but won't find anything as good as this in this area. The staff are lovely and the space is quite clean - perfect for simply enjoying that hot cup of cocoa!

Time update my review since Ginger Elizabeth has changed since my last one. Now the shop no longer has pastries but, now sells things like cupcakes, cookies, brownies, slices of loaf styled cake etc. It's more dessert centered. It still has chocolates, macarons, and chocolate bars. Anything you buy here is delicious and the best. I'm personally not a huge fan of macarons but, the ones made here are the best I've had. The hot chocolate is rich, decadent, and special. They make their own marshmallows and whipped cream to top off the hot chocolate. You can also add an espresso shot to your hot chocolate for an additional charge. My go to is the Oaxacan spice hot chocolate which, tastes like Mexican hot chocolate but, more decadent. Now they have soft serve ice cream which is awesome. It's rich and creamy. The flavors have been rotating to one new flavor each month so far. But usually the vanilla and chocolate have been available along with the rotating flavor each month. There's an occasional sundae special too with the rotating flavor which is posted on their IG page if one happens that month. I just tried the coffee hazelnut brown sugar chocolate bar and it was to die for. It wasn't bitter at all or overpowered with the coffee flavor. It was smooth and delicious. Their ice cream macaron sandwiches are now available year round instead of just during the summer. The macaron ice cream sandwiches are amazing. Their customer service here is always great, attentive, and friendly.

Ginger Elizabeth is one of Sacramento's premier chocolatiers utilizing local ingredients and crafting fine desserts. They serve a variety of sweets including, chocolates, drinks, macarons, and jams. They recently grew to even more fame being named home to one the country's best hot chocolate! The staff at Ginger Elizabeth are friendly and will usually offer a sample of chocolate if you are browsing. Some of my favorites include the brown butter chocolate and caramelized milk and coffee. If you're looking for delectable chocolates or other sweet treat, check out Ginger Elizabeth!

We love the treats at this shop and were thrilled when we discovered that they participate in Too Good to Go. They have flexible all day (10am to 6pm) pick up with Too Good to Go. Our 1st surprise bag was macarons, the 2nd was cookies, and the 3rd from today was cupcakes. Everything has been decadent and the staff are quick and friendly. Elegant ambiance, will keep coming back!

One of my favorite dessert places in Sac! Always make a stop since their original L St location opened whenever I visit. Beautiful chocolates, desserts, and macarons. The packaging is gorgeous and gift worthy. The holiday macarons are always delicious and I especially enjoyed the gingersnap and apple cobbler this visit but the stand out was definitely the Vietnamese coffee caramel. The kid's hot chocolate is a temperature fit for littles and Dubs Jr. enjoyed the homemade marshmallows that topped it. My cappuccino with their homemade Oaxacan spice syrup hit the spot and I love that they have milk alternatives available. Love that the new location has seating inside and outside available. Great place to relax and enjoy a treat and definitely don't forget to take some home!
