Chocolate Covered

Absolutely no argument that this is the best chocolate retailer in San Francisco. Jack Epstein is an encyclopedia of cacao and chocolate knowledge. If you want to discuss origin sources to conching, this is your place. And if you are not that chocolate nerd and just want to buy some mind blowing yumminess, this is also your place. Extra star for the custom printed gift tins they make featuring San Francisco streets and storefronts.

I was delighted to find this little shop open on New Year's Eve during my time in the city. As soon as I stepped inside, I was captivated by the endless variety of chocolate bars and treats lining the walls, so many unique brands and origins, delectable combinations of flavors, and playful themes and wrappers. We purchased several different pieces... dark chocolate pecan turtles, bourbon barrel aged ritual chocolate, odd society wallflower gin & juniper kasama chocolate, siamaya durian milk chocolate bar, soma chocolatemaker minty bar (with dark milk chocolate), mooncake limited edition milk chocolate bar (with bunnies!), and the friendly and knowledgeable staff threw in a free bumblebee wrapped milk chocolate candy too. He also offered free samples while we were there, and gave great recommendations. The quality of these chocolates was noticeable as we indulged in the bourbon ritual bar and enjoyed the crunch of those pecan turtles. Can't eat them all at once, but I'm especially looking forward to trying the mint chocolate bar I got. Definitely an awesome spot for gourmet chocolate and gifts!

Chocolate you can't easily find and have to get shipped internationally is found in SF! I was able to find my favorite brand at this shop and spent hundreds of dollars getting every flavor...eep. The price is comparable to ordering online and getting it shipped, but gotta support small businesses, right? I was also recommended a few other brands to try to expand my chocolate palette.Will def be back to try more!

Stumbled upon this place while walking around and it turned out to be such a wonderful find! It's filled to the brim with amazing chocolates from all over the world with exciting flavors. It took so much willpower to only buy two bars! The walls are decorated with tin boxes (made by the owner!) that have streets of the city on them. The staff are very helpful and love how you can sample if they have a bar open. Can't wait to come back!

Best chocolate shop in SF. The owner has an encyclopedic knowledge of chocolate and they have a fabulous selection of high end chocolates. I usually come once a month to find new chocolates. Love this place!

If you're not careful you'll miss a chocolate treasure trove. They carry a bar for any occasion and taste. We picked up a few bars that piqued our interest like durian and gin infused. It was the smoked lamb spice that convinced me that this place was run by a mad man.

Have I died and gone to Heaven?! Chocolate Covered is a craft chocolate lover's dream! A huge selection from all over the world. There's something for everyone. The owner, Jack, was knowledgeable and passionate and even shared a sample of a delicious 100% chocolate bar with me. I bought a bar from Hungary and will 100% be back for more. A total gem of a shop---hope it'll be around forever.

Such a cute store! I went in on a Wednesday evening to pick up a gift for a friend moving out of town and the workers were so sweet! They were telling me the process of making the tins and how each one is handmade :) I ended up purchasing a time with the Golden Gate Bridge on it ($32 not including tax) and some toffee candy ($8.50 not including tax) and the total price was around $44 including tax. I would definitely recommend stopping by here as it's such a great place for getting gifts and chocolate for yourself or for friends!

I bookmarked this place on Yelp because I read about some chocolate that I wanted to try and after Googling it, the only place in the Bay Area that carried it was Chocolate Covered. I went there on a Saturday and was overwhelmed by their choices in chocolate. I didn't write down the chocolate I was interested in. I thought when I got to the shop I would recognize what I wanted. The selection was so large I wasn't able to look at every thing. I did leave with $146 dollars worth of chocolate. Everyone who works there was knowledgeable and friendly.

Great little shop where you can get all the artisan craft chocolate your taste buds could ever dream of. Fabulous selection of 3 ingredient chocolate bars from around the world are waiting for you behind that blue Dutch door. Worth the trip. If quality is what you're looking for, look no further.
