Seabreeze Craft Chocolates

These chocolates are so fresh! I've been here twice already and the owner is so personable and nice. You can even ask for a demo! I got to see and learn how chocolate is made. He only sells dark chocolate l, which is my favorite kind. I love all the different flavors and varieties. There were some glow in the dark ones, a charcuterie kind, chocolate houses, and ornaments! Hot chocolate samples and chocolate making classes are also available as well. For my box, I chose matcha, toffee, salted caramel, peanut crunch, passionfruit infused, lavender, black sesame praline, earl grey, and chai. Hubby opted for magnolia brandy, horchata espresso, habanero, blood orange, pistachio praline, hazelnut dark, bourbon caramel, bourbon infused solid, and black bottom.Some of the fillings were liquids, which is not what I prefer, so the next time I asked for less liquidy ones haha. Overall, a great place to get some of the best chocolates for yourself or as a gift!

Food: Is chocolate food? Regardless, I've been searching for the best hot (not lukewarm, not cold) truly HOT not McDonalds scorching, it's going to scar you, but Starbucks hot, anyway, I ordered the mexican/cinnamon hot chocolate and was very chocolaty and rich. Iit was lukewarm, although, the girl did say, if it wasn't hot, she could put it in the microwave, but I was already in my car & didn't feel like going back. I tasted the chocolate in a jar spread with a cracker and that is super yum! Service: AMAZING, professional, friendly, great attitude! Ambiance: Great store with beautiful chocolates, great for gifts and more items to try!

Gentlemen out there (and Ladies who want to give your partner a hint for a date night)....Behold...THE best place to have an affordable date night is HERE. No joke. Seabreeze offers a chocolate making class that's mind blowing. It was a three hour class that was hands on, informative, fun, and included bringing home all that you make (which was A LOT of chocolate truffles).The price was so ridiculously affordable and Jim, the owner, even provided some wine for the adults. I totally forget the girl's name who helped him out that night but she was so sweet and helpful.You get a mold that contains 21 cylinders to fill . You make the ganache that will fill the mold and you can flavor the ganache with any type of flavor you want. You then learn how to use their tempered chocolate machine to make the shells. He gives you dyed chocolate so you can also uses brushes to custom design each shell. It was so much fun and we met some really cool people who laughed and enjoyed the night as much as we did. It was a long event that could have been a bit shorter (I think we ended around 930p?).The chocolate we made were yummy and made great gifts to give to family and friends. We also were able to pick out two chocolates from their vast selection of the stores custom made truffles so that just made this event even more special.Thank you Jim and staff. We wish you success and blessings to this incredible shop.

I'm so impressed with this charming new chocolate shop, handmade chocolates, customer service and the owner friendliness! We were welcomed into the store with a complementary chocolate, and we were provided superior assistance in making our chocolate selections. The dark chocolate sample was extremely smooth and creamy! We also tried the chocolate sauces. We tried several and purchased 2x of the Chocolate Merlot sauce because of its flavor complexity and we expect it to be an excellent topping on our ice cream later. Also purchased the Sabra Charcuterie bar(Dark orange ganache marmalade) & Tropical dream charcuterie bar (coconut, guava, pineapple)... looking forward to trying these with friends. The owner Jim has such a caring, thoughtful way of running his business. I really enjoyed reading his bio and how he came to be a Chocolatier.

I wanted to treat myself to a box of quality truffles. I decided to try Seabreeze Craft Chocolates, and I was surprised by their substantial menu. I've never seen a truffle store with more than a dozen flavors, but this shop had TONS! For sheer variety, this store would get five stars. I decided on four stars because most of the flavors I chose were so mild, I could barely taste the flavors. I have very sensitive taste buds (supertaster here), so if I can barely taste something then the flavor is mild. That being said, these all contain quality ingredients. But if you're looking to be blown away by bold flavors, this probably isn't the shop for you. But if you want to test a bold flavor, then these truffles are excellent because of their mild flavor profiles.Also, these are priced by weight, not pieces. I think the cost was $5.65/lb when I visited in July 2023. I bought 12 pieces for about ~$38. And the staff is wonderful and patient. The person who assisted me was endlessly patient while I debated over what flavors to choose. Since I didn't think to write down the flavors, it was hard for me to identify these unless the flavor was strong. These are the ones I bought, and the 3-star flavors are my favorite:-Brown sugar*-Margarita** (barely there flavor)-Chai***-Horchata***-Plain dark***-Sweet caramel-Aztec spice***-Merlot** (barely there flavor)-Whole hazelnut*-Vanilla cream*-Cardamon (no idea which one)-Mystery: maybe Bourbon?Anyway, give this shop a try just for the novelty of so many flavors and quality chocolate!

My boyfriend got me a box of these chocolates and WOW were they delicious. Came back again tonight and was wowed once again. Jim, the owner, had a great story and an amazing passion for chocolate. He spent 2 weeks studying chocolate making in Oahu before opening the store. Not only can you taste different chocolate spreads and teas in the store, you can also watch the chocolate being made behind the counter. There are tons of flavor options so you won't leave dissatisfied, and there is even an entire section dedicated to vegan chocolate. This place blows See's Candy and other chocolate franchises out of the water. Will definitely be coming back again and again!

Amazing quality chocolates!! We placed a chocolate bar made for slicing on our charcuterie board! And the chocolate walnut spread is divine!

Try the hot chocolate, you won't regret it! So much more delicious than any "hot cocoa" that you've ever had before. Jim and his team are just incredible. We had our Girl Scout event there this past weekend, and the girls had so much fun making and decorating chocolate, and the chocolate we took home was absolutely incredible.Jim ensures that the cocoa he purchases comes from sustainable, fair-trade locations from around the world. Prices are fair/not bad, for a place in Del Mar. Inside of the store is beautiful and smells like heavenly chocolate. Can't wait to go back for Mother's Day gifts, birthday gifts, every holiday gifts..,

My two grandkids love chocolate and art. The candy decorating class provides both! Educational, fun, and delicious. Highly recommend this 90 min class as a different kind of experience for kids.

Taste absolutely fresh. I've tasted a lot of the most famous and top rated chocolate. I can tell they use top quality ingredients and make the chocolate with love.The stuff was super helpful and helped me to pick the flavor. They also give samples.Store front is extremely clean. Since they make the chocolate in the store, the smell of the store is amazing!
