Sonoma Chocolatiers & Tea House - Sebastopol, California

P. I.

This boutique chocolate shop reminds me of Chocolatier in Berkeley, and is curated by David, an owner who takes great care in making custom chocolates with delicious and exotic flavors. He also has a selection of chocolates from around the world that exceeds what a normal chocolate retailer would have. Their sipping chocolate, is to die for, and the location is cool, calm, and quiet, and perfect for doing a little bit of reading. While you enjoy some fine chocolate. I recommend this place to lovers of chocolate, and people who have yet to experience a real chocolate adventure.

This place is da bomb!! Exquisite truffles and caramels….plus a bunch of other yummy stuff that I don’t care about as much 😆.

I have a ritual of purchasing the finest truffles I can find for dinner with special friends, and usually I get them from chocolatiers in Berkeley, but this time I was coming from the North — and stumbled upon the one place in Sonoma county that has won First Place for 15 years running. Woot woot!

And a 3% cash discount — yay.

I walked in here two days ago and saw that they have a tea tasting on their menu. You can select three teas to try out. So I did.

With the help of some suggestions, I tired out a sakura green tea, a milky oolong, and a black tea.

The green tea was light in flavor and wasn’t too grassy. It was a light infusion which kept the bitter vegetal notes down, while providing a nice smooth savory flavor from the sakura.

The oolong has very strong notes of white peach and butter from the scent. I think it was a bit too fruity for my preference, and it tasted strongly of white peaches. On subsequent brews, the buttery scent and flavor turns more to milk flavors, hence the name. The peachiness is still prevalent.

The black tea smelled rich and sweet, but the taste was not sweet. It was still slightly bitter, and low sweetness. It smelt like what I wanted, but didn’t taste the part.

Such a hidden gem that we found today! Delicious chocolates and savory muffins with a very friendly staff! Also there is a window where you can watch the chocolates being made and hand painted!!

The chocolates from Sonoma Chocolatiers are simply delicious, but extremely perishable. Well worth the effort to seek this site out while we were in Sebastopol and I would encourage you to buy these chocolates at this location or any other location you can find them. Located in a funky tea room there is a great selection and some great flavors. This location has a large parking lot that is free so no problem getting to the store.

My partner and I always stop here when we are in the area because it is literally the BEST chocolate we have ever tasted. I can’t wait to try their boba tea next time, if I don’t fill up on chocolate 😉

Amazing little spot. The service was phenomenal, and selection was fantastic. They worked with me to get creative on making a custom matcha latte that ended up fantastic. Would recommend for anybody looking for good tea. I can’t eat much chocolate, but they do have 100% cocoa bars here, which I have difficulty finding in most places.

Amazing dark chocolate and tea selection! Friendly owner and it’s such a lovely place to chill with friends. I love their darjeeling tea chocolate and pistachio bark. Must go if you are a chocolate lover!
