Stacy LauMarch 22, 2013They serve Blue Bottle coffee and make special drinks with TCHO chocolate. But don't make the mistake I made by ordering a drink ten min. before the tour. Order well before the tour starts or after.
TaminatorAugust 4, 2013For the tour, they definitely start giving away reserved tickets to the waitlist people 5 mins before. NO open toe shoes! All piercings, any dangling jewelry and watches will be stored in the locker.
Aaron CruzJuly 24, 2014A chocolate haven located along the Embarcadero. I went the caffeinated drink route experiencing an iced TCHOchocolate mocha with Blue Bottle espresso yum.
heatJuly 19, 2013This is a chocolate factory started by the minds behind Wired Magazine. They give tours twice daily, but the real reason to go is for a very good Mocha! Opens at 9:00 AM.
Robert GreenMarch 6, 2014Try the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Chocolate - TCHO Strawberry Rhibarb Pir chocolate bar -- Amazing flavor and soooo rich! #chocolate
Kimi ThorntonJune 4, 2013Stop in for their AMAZING mochas, or just to sample their chocolates. They also do tours at 2 that you can sign up for online.
Tatyana FisherAugust 28, 2013Amazing artisanal chocolate from Peru. Highly recommend their dark hot chocolate. It is a gift on a rainy day.
Eric NunezJune 25, 2012Stopped here during a short stay in SF. Great place to grab some delicious chocolatey drinks and gifts if you are by the piers.
Serious EatsFebruary 11, 2014Take a tour of the chocolate factory then indulge in some top quality chocolate bars.- Robert GreenMarch 6, 2014Try the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Chocolate - TCHO Strawberry Rhubarb Pie chocolate bar - sooo rich, and amazing! #chocolate #NOM
Fiona AdamsApril 30, 2013Awesome tour/experience. I learned a ton about chocolate. Make sure you wear closed toed shoes. But if you forget, they have clogs for loan.
Juan DiezMarch 13, 2013Great chocolate and dont miss the tour, it will change your perception on chocolate and cacao.
Ed iPhoneJuly 29, 2013The chocolate is delicious but the employees are so rude! Try the drinking chocolate shot - it is sooo good!- TaminatorOctober 27, 2013Ask for a receipt if you are also getting chocolates since they use the receipt to get the drinks made, which they messed up today.
Whitney HoffmanAugust 14, 2013Lovely, but if you want a tour, you need to make reservations in advance
Emily A.June 14, 2012Beyond pretentious, can't fathom spending $80ish for powder chocolate mix. The staff were too above answering my questions about the different types and the chocolate really is not that great.
Mark PeacockJuly 1, 2012Get the TCHOshot. Thick like Italian chocolate but with a great fruity taste note- Andrew PeacockJuly 1, 2012The actual tour part of the tour isn't bad, but the hour long high school history class esque lecture at the start ruins the rest of the experience.
Erica MOctober 25, 2011It's more of a presentation than a tour. Might as well peek at the manufacturing area through a window for all you get to see. Be aware.
- TaminatorOctober 27, 2013The move (outgrows) to East Bay San Leandro has been delayed. Yay! Only $100 for 29 people private tour!
Kelly 🍰February 26, 2012Free chocolate tastings by the cashier. Tours at 10 and 2, must sign up online
Jane MetcalfeApril 15, 2011Ask Tyler to tell you which artisan coffees pair best with which TCHO chocolates!
Josh WMarch 11, 2013The prices at the factory are ridiculous. They're at least 20% cheaper at Mollie Stone's/Whole Foods/specialty stores/basically everywhere else. Nothing is uniquely sold here despite what they say.
Rich N.April 29, 2012Although they don't have public restrooms, if you buy something, you can use the facilities...
Mark Chu-CarrollAugust 27, 2012Home of the worlds best chocolate. Seriously, Belgium has nothing on this.
Reinaldo ParreirasJanuary 14, 2014Expensive chocolates at their own store. Products are cheaper in any other place. Weird, I know.
David SpivackNovember 20, 2009Best Chocolate ever!Get a steamed drinking chocolate at their store on Pier 17--amazing. Read more
Cash ShurleyMarch 25, 2010Get the TCHOspresso. The drinking chocolate is amazing and what a rush!! Read more
