Go To Chocolate

I'm not a huge chocolate fan but man-o-man - this place rocks chocolate and caramel!We happen to find them at the San Mateo Farmer's Market on Saturday and were given a generous samples of several items. The caramels are out of this world good - very balanced and no corn syrup. Very clean ingredients. You can tell the owner takes care with his products. Interestingly they use tapioca starch in these - so gluten free in anything that I say here We also got to sample their signature bar which is a a thin layer of crisp English Toffee topped with a layer of soft caramel all covered in dark - chocolate. The flavors and textures just bounce on the tongue and make excite the palate. I was shocked on how delicious this was...even had to buy a couple to take home for my dear family to try.The dark chocolate squares with caramel were also quite compelling - they have them plain and salted. I spied caramel sauce, and some gorgeous shiny truffles with all sorts of interesting flavor combinations. They also offered a vegan assortment as well.Prices are very reasonable and a few bites are so satisfying..no need to binge - just savor a few small bites and you will be satiated.

Stopped by this Chocolatier shop. You cannot buy from here. Michael, the owner makes his chocolates here. I open the side door that's says 'go to Chocolate.' The person inside(Michael) sees me and says, can I help you? I then ask where can I buy chocolate? He proceeds to tell me that he makes it there and you can buy chocolate at farmers markets and certain stores. I told him on the yelp page it looks like you can buy from this location and he asks me to show him. After he checks out his yelp page he then walks me over to his shelf of chocolates and tells me, 'I don't normally do this but what would you like?' He gives me the run down. I buy a sample box and some chocolate toffee. All were great and I will buy more in the future. He is a down to earth guy. Glad he didn't turn me away.

Found this chocolatier by chance.... looking through yelp. I love handmade chocolate. He sells them at the San mateo college farmer's market Saturday. So i went and found him there... nice guy. Great selection... i ended up buying several ... the marshmallows covered with chocolate yum... the salted caramels yum... the caramels yum... bought 1 of each of his chocolate bars too... all i love. I will have to slow down and savor them. I will definitely be buying more. You have to get some and try....

Best treat I've ever had in my life! Hands down! The Go To Chocolate Salted Bites are my fave. The sweet, soft mix of caramel with crunchy toffee is the perfect texture pairing, followed by the hint of sea salt that sits on the outside of the chocolate exterior. I've never encountered another chocolate treat like it. The only negative is that I can't go to a shop and buy them any time that's convenient, but at least I can get them online. If you live up in the Peninsula and can go to The Farmers Markets to get them, run...don't walk! Seriously delish!

I have been ordering chocolate favors from Michael for two years for our company holiday party and Go To Chocolate is seriously the BEST chocolate out there. Not only is it reasonably priced, but there is a huge variety of chocolates!Michael eats, breathes and sleeps chocolate! He puts his soul into making such an amazing product and everything from the taste, appearance and wrapping is perfect. Whether you're just stopping at the farmers marketing or needing a bulk order of chocolates, try Go To Chocolate! You will not be disappointed. :)

Michael Hohenthal handcrafts unique, high quality chocolates and sells them at some local farmers' markets (I've only bought some at the College of San Mateo Farmers' Market on Saturdays between 9am-1pm), and they're available at special stores and online. His kitchen is the space where Nancy's Fancies used to be (a favorite closed bakery of many Yelpers - we used to buy her delicious cakes too).Some of his chocolates are vegan, and clearly the guy has a passion for chocolate and making interesting flavor combinations. They aren't cheap, but they are unusual. Some varieties include:Earl Grey Tea with Orange Blossoms, Raspberries, Pine Nut, Pistachio, Anise Seed with Ouzo, Lemon, Grand Marnier and Orange Essence, Bing Cherry, Apricot, Sweet Basil Infused Truffle in Milk Chocolate, Lemon Cinnamon Infused Truffle in White Chocolate, Ouzo-Toasted Anise Seed Infused Truffle in Dark Chocolate, and Blood Orange pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil infused into Dark Chocolate.For people with simpler palates like me, there are standard chocolates like English Toffee, chocolate covered marshmallows (that are unbelievably light and fluffy and melt in your mouth), and plain chocolate. Good stuff!

Chocolate is a Demanding Mistress....And so it was last Sunday, when Jennifer L. graciously provided our happy group a box of Go To Chocolate for desert. Our delicious chocolate squares had a gooey caramel interior, and had some of us begging for "more".And so it will soon, that I must make a "Go To Chocolate" run at multiple Peninsula Farmer's Markets, so that I may be properly "punished".

Life is like a box of chocolates.Overrated movie, but awesome chocolate!Yes, thanks to my drug dealing friend, Jennifer L scored me a box of amazing goodness. She has been raving for months about how good their chocolate is. She is an expert on the subject and never doubted her even for a minute. And last night she once again proved me right. She was kind enough to bring my wife and me a box of English toffee. A thin layer of crisp English Toffee topped with a layer of soft caramel all covered in dark chocolate. This chocolate is like crack and is out of this world addicting. After dinner we decided to have a piece for dessert and the large box filled with kick ass chocolate squares. Within minutes only a few pieces remained. I could not help myself! I kept wanting more!If you are in need of the best chocolate experience around, Go To Chocolate.Jennifer L, my drug dealer. The first one is always free.

I've been buying Go To Chocolates at Coastside Farmer's Market for years! Everything is absolutely fabulous and made from the best ingredients by this family of chocolatiers. These are expensive, handmade chocolates and you cannot go wrong with any choice you make. I consider my purchases well deserved treats for myself!!!
