The Xocolate Bar

I gave products from Xocolate Bar for Christmas. The recipients enjoyed the gifts- the taste and the presentation. I was pleased because I asked that they be sent without ANY plastic and there was none! You can have your orders mailed and don't have to live in Berkeley.

The chocolate *sounds* good from the description, but I was sorely disappointed upon biting into them, especially for how much they cost. The chocolate on the truffles is much too thick and overpowers any taste from the fillings that are in there. They aren’t pleasant to eat. If they got better at their craft and the process, I think that it can be much better. I’m a chocolate gourmand and very picky, so this review is for people like me who expect better quality and craftsmanship when paying such prices. I don’t like waxy chocolate. That being said, if you’re used to eating hershey’s or Ghiradelli, this will be gourmet for you. Instead of going here, I suggest heading over to Casa de Chocolate on Ashby Ave in Berkeley. MUCH better!!! Their truffles and caramels are divine!

While I have never actually been to the shop my boyfriend has been bringing me chocolates from here for several years. I love them so much that I thought it was time share my love & help you make the choice to go! The Buddha's are by far my favorite! (Just shared with my sister & said you can have any one but a Buddha) Just go, try, enjoy & share. You can never go wrong with these chocolates!

Absolutely exquisite small batch chocolate fineries made from excellent source chocolate, with a creative menu, made by locals. A true Artisan chocolate experience without the Hipster snark that often goes along with finer foods around here. I highly recommend this place!

It is also situated directly next door to my new favorite food spot in the East Bay for American food, Riveter Cafe, home of the best bacon lettuce tomato sandwich I have had in decades.
