Coco Delice Fine Chocolates

The chocolates here are divine. My favorites are the cognac truffles. They are wonderful, with just the right balance between chocolate and cognac. Mmmmm…

Nommm mrrhghhh nommmmmm. Oh, excuse me, let me wipe that salty caramel off my chin. SO yummy! Right near my work, you can see into the choco-​wonderland that is their facility while you buy their small batch, beautiful, so so good chocolates. I am about to make soem people SO happy with what I bought there.
I would say it is on par with you’d pay for other fancy-​pants chocolates. So so delish. They gave me a fab sample which totally perked up my morning. Check it out.

Every time someone tells me that they LUVVVVVVV!!! CocoaBella chocolates, I gotta say «Hold up!» and send them over to my local Whole Foods to try Coco Delice. Not only are the chocolates way better, ordering with them online is a breeze.
I send chocolates to my Dad in Texas for Xmas, Father’s Day, Birthday… any occasion really. I always get status updates on my order from a real person! They even warn me if the temperature over there is too hot to ensure that my order will be received in optimal condition. Pops is always super psyched to get his choco-​gifts!
Get yourself a box, now!

My #1 Favorite Chocolatier Chef Dennis who creates the best Jasimin Green Tea infused chocolate truffle. Oh, how I miss you so… at the San Francisco Chocolate Salons. I like their chocolate creations, mostly truffles though, haven’t tried their new stuff yet cuz their classic truffles never disappoint. If you want a well-​crafted green tea infused truffle, this is the place to be. This is only if you’re a big fan of tea infused chocolate, like me. If you are, I’d recommend to you Tea Room. They have tea infused chocolate bars. Their flavors aren’t as up-​front in your pallet, but the flavors are there and it has a subtle hint of tea with more of a strong chocolate flavor.

I wish I could tell you all that I savored each of these delectable treats, but no, that’s not what happened. Let’s be real. I ate an entire box while watching the American Idol season finale.
While my box was being filled by an employee, she handed me their elderflower truffle to enjoy. I love St. Germain so this was delicious. My two personal favorites are the Salty Caramels and the Spicy Rogue, which is flavored with Italian sparkling wine and cayenne pepper.
I should be thankful for my enormous law school debt guilting me into not buying more of these truffles. Stuff ain’t cheap, but good chocolate rarely is.

FAVORITE! They make really good truffles. LOVE THEM! I first received them as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago and have been hooked ever since. I was concerned about the names and ingredients as I don’t care for jellies, nuts, etc. But once I learned it’s all chocolatey ganache inside, I tried every one in the box. Again, LOVE IT!

Ooh, the good people over there just sent me a box of five shiny salted caramels! Score! Love ‘em. Love love love!

I should be more like the mythical Jesus. Because He would be more forgiving of the smug, irresponsible, and lame reviews submitted by others. I am not. I have had Coco Delice’s truffles, and I thought they were good, but not great. Probably 3.5 stars, if one could give a half star.
HOWEVER, and I put that in all caps for the dense, if that was the only chocolate that Coco Delice made, then maybe that would be a fair appraisal of their craft/​business. But, it is not. Not even close. It is, in fact, like judging an entire restaurant on one bowl of soup, when they have appetizers, main courses, side dishes, and other desserts yet to be sampled. The variety of their spectacular ganaches is what makes Coco Delice so special. Quite simply, they’re the best chocolates I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of good chocolate (I would not consider myself an expert, but I know quality when I taste it). The passion fruit, almond praline, citron, and forais really stood out to me, but they’re all good (well, I’m not a fan of white chocolate, but I certainly would not judge the whole box by one piece. That would be… uncool.).
Am I overstating things by dismissing other reviews as irresponsible? Maybe. Probably. But businesses can be really dinged here, especially when they’re first trying to start up. I can accept other opinions, really I can, but man… please make some reasonable effort to know a place before totally slamming it.
p. s. The next time I see a bad sushi review from someone who only eats «california» rolls, I’m gonna lose it! Please go back to MySpace and leave Unilocal alone.

One of my old favorites from the first time I started going to the SF Chocolate Salon in SF. I was overwhelmed with the amount of chocolate but this is one boothe I had to stop by. My sister always buys Green Tea Jasmin truffle. They sell them at this festival for $ 1 a truffle. Score! We bought a total of 14 truffles just so we can have a variety. My favorites: Pure Passion, Espresso Mate, Lavender Meade, and Forais (caramel). Their chocolates are simple but the flavor is «oh-​so-​good».

Amazing hand made chocolates that never fail to impress our clients, even the European ones who can be quite snobby when it comes to chocolate. All of the products are delicious and if you love peanut butter you have to try the bon bons!

I was not impressed by you Coco Delice. It’s nice that you are all natural but you don’t satisfy my taste buds as much as you should for the cost of a box.
My boyfriend got you for me for Christmas so thats why you get an extra star. We often make truffles together and I have found that our recipe is better than yours…
which is kind of sad.
Better luck next time, not sure why you got so many stellar reviews, I guess its because these Unilocalers have not tried my homemade truffles.
Update: I ate one just now and it has left a bad aftertaste in my mouth, I now challenge your chocolates to a duel against mine!

You’d think that a box of 6 chocolates was a little chintzy for a gift, right?
Wrong.
These decadent little angels are so rich and wonderfully yummy that you can really only eat about one a day. So, it’s like a gift that keeps on giving.
Swirling that creamy chocolate around in your mouth, savoring each little morsel… mmmmmmm…can’t be beat.

This is an easy review to write. Coco Delice chocolates are created with care and passion, each one nicely executed. Dennis Kearney of Coco Delice has clearly focused on quality of ingredients and final product, rather than having an extensive range of flavors. This is a good thing.
The exterior chocolate is perfectly tempered on each piece, shiny with a crisp bite. Dennis uses a nice dark chocolate that has a clean finish and does not overpower the center ganaches. And those ganaches! Perfect! The flavors are all so balanced, flavorful, but never heavy-​handed. And creamy and smooth.
It is hard to pick a favorite, but some highlights are: coco rum — the spicy hit of rum is followed by juicy chunks of coconut (not dry and chewy like most coconut chocolates); forais — what’s not to like about salted caramel!; port — just try it and you’ll see why ports and wines pair blissfully with chocolate. My only complaint would be that the Vert (lime and spearmint) was too subdued. I wanted more tart limeness and spearmint flavor. But don’t get me wrong, I’d still eat a whole box of these!
Ok, that was the filled chocolate line. Now, how about those Caramelized Chocolate Covered Almonds? Well, they only last about 10 minutes in my house, so, um, I guess they are good. Actually addictive is a better word. Once I open the bag, there is no way to stop eating them. Seriously one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth. I can only imagine what the hazelnuts are like!
I’d say Coco Delice is one of my favorite local chocolates, and, yes, I have tried them all.

I am a huge chocolate fan and Coco Delice does not disappoint. The wine truffles are exceptional, they would compliment any 5 star dining experience. Try this high quality hand crafted chocolate before everyone else does!

I would give these chocolates 10 stars if possible, they are just that delicious. I’m not even a chocolate lover, but these confections will make anyone weak in the knees. After the very first piece, I was hooked. In the past two weeks I’ve tried every single confection that they make and, trust me, they are all worth every single calorie.
The shells on the chocolates are crispy, shiny, and smooth. On the inside is the smoothest, creamiest ganache that I’ve ever tasted. The flavors that he blends with the chocolate ganache are so fresh and delicate, that you’d swear you were eating fresh hazelnuts or drinking a warm cup of kahlua coffee. And the almonds… oh the almonds, they’re so good you’ll want to cry.
I really can’t say enough about these chocolates. If you haven’t tried them yet, head to the website and order a box. And don’t think a 6 is gonna be enough, start with a 12 and a bag of the almonds, or you’ll be really sorry.

I love chocolate, and Coco Delice makes some of the best chocolate that I’ve ever tasted, period. This is no Russell Stover or Whitman’s sampler, this is hand made, gourmet chocolate, and it will make you smile the second you put it in your mouth. It’s so good, it’s a challenge not to eat the entire box in one day.
I sampled the 12 piece, assorted gift box, and it knocked my socks off. My girlfriend learned candy making at the California Culinary Academy, and she told me that it’s obvious from the flavor and texture that Coco Delice chocolate is the highest quality. All I know is that when I put one of the pieces of chocolate in my mouth, I feel all warm and tingly inside. It’s not just chocolate, it’s an experience.
I’m a little ashamed to say, I was hesitant to share the chocolates. I wanted to try every single flavor myself. If you buy a box for someone who will be eating it around you, I would suggest buying yourself one too, so nobody gets hurt :)
The chocolate itself is fantastic. It snaps when you bite into it, and then slowly melts into a deep, complex flavor. The fillings are as delicious as they are surprising. Fillings made of merlot, green tea and jasmine, cayenne pepper and rum, to name just a few, saturate your mouth with flavor. They’re so surprising that you’ll want your friends to share the experience, but so tasty that you’ll want them to get their own box.
I also tried a bag of the Caramelized Chocolate Covered Almonds. What a decadent snack! It’s hand-​made candy, but I want to keep popping them in my mouth as though they were a can of mixed nuts. These savory and sweet treats are not for the easily tempted. Each time I walk by, I can almost hear them calling out to me, «Just eat a few more, Jeff. We’re a delicious and wholesome snack!»
At this point, you really should just head over to the website and order yourself some chocolate. Waiting for them to arrive might be too painful, so you’ll probably need to drive to one of the several Bay Area locations that sell them retail so you can pick some up to tide you over. As for me, there’s a bag of caramelized chocolate covered almonds that needs my immediate attention.
