I came in yesterday and had the most loveliest time with Angela! She is super informative, knowledgeable and very sweet. Love her, she definitely made my experience a good one. --The chocolate cookie is soo tasty! Love that it's chewy and because of its size, it lasted me a good 5 minutes lol. The florentiner was surprisingly yummy. It has pieces of nuts and fruits. The orange peels covered in dark chocolate is my fave! It's dairy free so as a lactose intolerant person, this is a good anytime treat. I even got a few pieces of fruit pate, not for me but hey, someone else may like it more than I do. --Thank you Angela! I'll come by again!

A beautiful chocolatier with amazing varieties and beautiful pieces. I highly recommend this place for special treats and gifts. Damien was very helpful in picking out the best of the best and explaining the story behind the company and their roots in Half Moon Bay.

I always have to make a stop in Sweet55 when I'm in Palo Alto. This cute shop is very clean and bright inside and they offer a wide selection of specialty Swiss chocolates, baked goods, and drinks. I've never been disappointed when trying their chocolates and even though they lean on the pricier side, the quality and freshness speaks for itself. One of my favorite things to get here is the marble loaf cake. Unfortunately, during my last visit in March 2024, I heard they haven't carried it in a few months and hope that they do start selling it again. It was so decadent and moist, one of the best loaf cakes I've tried in the Bay Area!

Just wanted to give kudos to Damien, we stopped in 2 weeks ago. He was so helpful and knowledgeable about the nuances of the chocolates offered. It's great to find an employee that really puts in the effort to know the product. Especially such amazing chocolates offered by Sweet55

After reading various chocolatier reviews and menus on Yelp, I decided to purchase thank-you gifts at Sweet55. They seemed to have a good balance of quality products and reasonable pricing compared to other shops in the area.When I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the young woman at the counter. She offered to answer any questions I had and directed me to the gift sets when I asked. She patiently answered my many questions and described each chocolate available. I decided to select a nut-free collection of pieces for my gift boxes based on her recommendations. As she packed my seven gift boxes, we had a nice conversation and she offered me a free sample. It was delicious! Then other shoppers came in and she also warmly greeted them. Since I wasn't in a hurry, I encouraged her to help them and then go back to packing my boxes.She told me more about the shop and their chocolate-making process. I was impressed. This high school senior provided some of the best customer service I have experienced. Thank you, Sofia making my first purchase at Sweet55 wonderful, and it will not be my last.

My boyfriend bought these chocolates for me and they are delicious! We have passed by here so many times and I finally tried them today. It is located in the Town and Country plaza. My favorites were the mocha pecan, Irish coffee truffle, and dark gianduja. The calamansi-praline, California Republic, and branchli were very tasty too. The chocolates were not overly sweet and have interesting flavor combinations. Packaging is good for gifting.

Awesome little shop. I love these kinds of local businesses. A nice selection of house made dark and milk chocolate. To be honest I don't know how to discern country specific chocolates but I do know what I like and of the 6 I purchased all were excellent. Couple this with a super friendly staff and convient location you really have winner.

They have brilliant and fresh custom chocolates of many types. The owner was trained in Switzerland in the art of making chocolate. Her things are superior to See's, the employees are super helpful and they have a great number of choices. I've gone to both locations, in Half Moon Bay and Palo Alto and I've purchased from both. They also make these great, fresh fruit gels which I love.I always go to Sweet 55 first if I'm looking for high end chocolate. You owe it to yourself to at least give them a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.
