Chocolatier Blue

Love Chocolatier Blue. The chocolates are like works of art, I could just stand there and admire them. Ok I want to eat them too after I admire them. Yummy.

With every ice cream purchase you get free toppings! Your choice of chocolate or caramel or marshmellow! Great ice cream for walking around and shopping!

We received a box of chocolate as a holiday gift. HOLY Sh*t! Best chocolate ever. Sutble, yet intense, evolving flavors. Refined and artistuc presentation. My new favorite chocolate in the United States or Europe!

We have eaten great chocoates before. Like, in Paris. But now we’ve discovered truly stratospheric quality chocolates within a mile of home. (I’m a little worried.) We had lunch next door and headed for the car and noticed the unassuming storefront. Walked in and there was a lovely line of chocolates. The charming young women behind the counter offered us each a honey sage chocolate, which would not have been my first choice. It was intense and delicious. We bought a box of 6 to take home: Marzipan, Old-​fashioned, Chili, Espresso (x2) and Currant. Unbelievably good. $ 1.50 each. Totally worth it. We will be going back for two-​chocolate boxes for adult stocking-​stuffers!

Great place to get a variety of truffles… unique flavors and great presentation and they offer you a full-​sized sample… today was cookies and cream which had crushed Oreos… delicious!
You walk into the store and see the counter with all the varieties wit the smell of yummy chocolate. $ 1.50 a piece and can assemble your own box for yourself or a nice gift! My faves are the caramel and white russian… ooey gooey caramel center with the other hints of coffee and vodka… more please!
Girl working the counter was very nice and helpful.

Amazing! Melt-​in-​your-​mouth chocolate. Each chocolate was so perfect! Very high quality chocolate. I’d definitely come back! We got the 12-​piece box for $ 20. My husband and I got three of each of the four flavors we wanted to try. So worth it!

Dear See’s Candies,
I think you should run towards the hills. This place kicks ass and kicks yours. If you want avant guard modern style chocolate. They look like jewelry but edible. Then this is you’re place. Pretty pricey though. But it’s worth every penny. For $ 12.00 you get six pieces. Yes there are a few with alcohol in them without any charge. How cool is that.
Cool packaging with a menu card with photos of you’re treats. Great customer service with clean simple décor.
It makes a great gift for you’re someone special.

Rainy day, lazy day, hump day (with no hump for us retirees), with nothing special on the agenda for our last day in Northern California (for a while). Why not put on some more pounds so we have something more to work on at the gym when we finally arrive home from our 3 week eating frenzy in 5 states?
Brilliant idea! That means we came to Chocolatier Blue, just to say we did.
And we did get one sample first… espresso…which exploded as I took my first bite. Chocolate and coffee, the perfect duo, a marriage made in heaven. So we bought 2 espresso, one hazelnut, one dark chocolate, one peanut butter cookie, one caramel, and… I forgot the last one… and happily dished out $ 12 for the indiscretion. And then we hopped, skipped and jumped right next door to their sister store, A Dora Pies. It was awful. Simply awful.
The awful part was… leaving.

Darkest chocolate here is not too dark. They specialize in chocolate with stuff inside. Not bad if you like light chocolate with interesting flavors.

I got an 18 piece box of the traditional flavors for my step-mother’s 90^th birthday. She loved them! Thanks for great customer service.

The ratings and pictures tell you all you need to know. The shop is simple and beautiful and the chocolate looks and tastes like art. Even the basic flavors like caramel are complex and far above average. It’s a must.

Here at Chocolatier Blue, they have decently priced chocolate at $ 1.50 per piece without the a box. I love their chili chocolate which is actually decently spicy! I’ve tried other pieces such as their peanut butter crunch, espresso, caramel, and lemon. Most of the flavors that I’ve tried I’ve liked because I tend to stick to nutty flavors which is always a safe option.
The workers are always polite and helpful– just ask and they’ll explain any of the flavors to you. They have some chocolates that they’ve made with alcohol which is on my list of things to try, but if you want some safe options, caramel, pistachio, and peanut crunch are quite delicious. If you want spicy, get the chili!
The décor is simple– they have a couple seat, a station for complimentary water, and they have some dried out cacao beans as decorations. Their glass case showcasing the chocolate shows a beautiful array of different colored shells of chocolate along with a name tag. Do come in if you want some unique and delicious chocolate!

Be impressed! Such a sweet little shop and to die for set up. Love the amazing creations here. A great product and a great experience. Love at first bite.

Beautiful chocolates– truly beautiful!
However, I didn’t really enjoy the chocolate. All chocolates had hard shells with soft fillings. It is too sweet for me.
Don’t think I will visit again.

My favorite place for chocolates of all time! And the owners are originally from Nebraska, and if anyone knows me they know I’m a true Midwest at heart! This location in Berkeley is the original one but they have a location in San Francisco as well :)
Ok so back to chocolates! First of all these are a work of art! You do not even want to eat them they are that pretty to look at! My picture will be the proof to my awe and wonder :) This is my go to place for birthday treat for friends and family. And Valentines Day is around the corner so do go here for your loved one! Also they allow you to sample some of their chocolates! I honestly can say with confidence every chocolate is delicious and unique in flavor.

These folks take great care to create an exquisite hot chocolate that is easily the best in the neighborhood. They measure exact temperature, plentiful high quality chocolate, and add a house-​made marshmallow with flecks of vanilla bean.
And they make fancy delicious chocolates that look like modern art. For people that like those.

Today while on my lunch break, I decided to stop by and buy myself just a piece of chocolate to sweeten up this week. When I walked in, the lady immediately greeted me with much enthusiasm. I saw what I wanted but wasn’t too sure if it was right for me, «White Russian». The lady said I could sample it and I thought it would just be a small piece but instead she gave me the entire piece of chocolate. I felt bad because I just wanted to buy only one piece, I ended up walking away with a 6-​piece gift box since while I was still looking, she gave me other flavors to try «Sage Honey» and another one. Despite just buying 6-​piece giftbox, I walked away with more like 9 piece of chocolate.
I really like how the layout of the store, very simple and sweet, just like it’s chocolate. The chocolate was all so pretty. I don’t want to bite into it because it’s so pretty. The other cool thing is that they have seasonal flavors and extremely unique ones. However, the prices are quite steep. It’s probably one of the most expensive chocolates I have bought but it’s a splurge thing!
I would definitely love this as a gift!

The first time I visited Chocolatier Blue, I wasn’t planning on buying anything. I just strolled in to look around, and the service was quite wonderful. The chocolates didn’t even look like chocolate. They were so shiny and perfect, almost like plastic.
Even though I said I didn’t intend on buying anything (I was on my way to class and was a bit early), the lady working there was very kind. She explained what everything was and let me try 3 of the chocolates. I didn’t particularly like them, but I decided not to review because I only had samples.
A few months later, I coincidentally received a box of 30 chocolates. Having tried what was nearly one of everything, I have to say I was slightly disappointed by the quality. All the chocolates I had were very similar to each other: a hard chocolate shell with a liquidy filling. Maybe I’ve just been spoiled by CocoaBella’s Swiss and Belgium chocolates, but the chocolates were also very very sweet. Even their dark chocolate tasted more like milk.
I wish I could give an 3.5, because I really enjoyed the service, but there’s no option for that. If you like your chocolates to be very sweet, you will adore this place. If you prefer a more bitter chocolate, or perhaps don’t like fruity fillings, you may not enjoy it as much as others.

Fancy chocolates! Very well made, as far as looks go. I don’t think I’ve ever seen chocolates in such fancy shapes and colors.
We weren’t really in a splurging mood so we only purchased six chocolates — in hindsight, wish we’d gotten more. The ones I remember deeply — the chili, because it left quite a punch in your mouth, and because of its odd geometric shape and deep passionately flaming red color. I guess the color should’ve been a warning to the punch.
I hadn’t looked at all the chocolates carefully, but my son today noted that there were some inappropriate names. What is it with food vendors sexualizing food names? I’ve seen it with ice cream, I’ve seen it with sushi, and now chocolate. As an adult, I can see the novelty. As a dad, I wish they’d find more creative ways to express the flavors.
Like I said, in hindsight, I wish we’d bought more pieces, at least multiples of each flavor. I got home, and realized that I’d like to share each piece with the family of four, so I cut each piece into fours — imagine taking little nibbles of flavored chocolate bits. The chili one was the only one that left an impression.

Update:
The next day after my review, the owners of Chocolatier Blue contacted me and asked me if it’s ok to overnight another box of chocolate for me to try. Wow, talk about awesome customer service! I’ve been a Unilocaler for quite a few years now and I’ve received a lot of good, bad and ugly responses from business owners but this experience definitely trumped all. It’s refreshing to find a business owners who not only take negative feedback (though I didn’t think my original review was exactly negative) and try to turn the experience around. Bravo!
I got another pretty blue box the very next day along with a box of turtles. Again, the quality of the chocolate is still great but unfortunately, I felt the same way about them. I really enjoyed the turtles though and I decided to upped my review by 1 star for incredible the customer service.
