Chocolates: The Best American Chocolate
  • Tip Rating:
  • San Francisco Chocolates
  • Ghiradelli Chocolate Shop

  • Name of Shop: Ghiradelli Chocolate Shop

    Ghiradelli is a wonderful chocolate company that has a small shop at Ghiradelli Square. You can buy Ghiradelli chocolate all over the city but the store is full of nice gifts and wonderful assortments of their very fine chocolate. A server will offer you samples when you enter the store. Ghiradelli Chocolate rivals European chocolate in my opinion, it's really high quality creamy tasty stuff.

    What To Buy: They package their gift items up very pretty. Great for souvenirs.

    What To Pay: Reasonable, nothing outrageously priced.

  • Name of Shop: Pacific Heights Shops on Union Street

    The shops in Pacific Heights are very pretty. Colorfully painted and beautfiully decorated, however the prices are outrageous. Better to window shop than buy.

    What To Buy: Nothing, it's so exprensive. $8 for one bar of homemade soap. Rediculous.

    What To Pay: More than you should

     We are visiting SF in late Jan and have booked a place near Ghirardelli Square. We are hoping it is a great place. Tell me more about the MARINA and the places to go. 2 Australians.
